 I am totally new to Cisco gear, but I managed to pick up a brand new 7912G for £28, looking at this guide:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Cisco+7905%252F7912+IP+Phones

It says I need a service contact to be able to download the latest firmware for it. Where can I buy these service contracts from, and what's the part number I'm after? Cisco's CCO site is less than helpful.

 Here's hopefully a simple problem. I've recently bought an 867VAE for a remote site that has ADSL and an old router that is dieing slowly, and they wanted something a little more robust. I know nothing about IOS and figured that CP Express / Configuration Professional would sort the basic configuration out for me, but they seem to be completely useless.

This is the config I'm running at the moment, built with Configuration Professional 2.6.

This setup was orignally tested on my desk routing from GE1 (the Ethernet WAN port) and was passing traffic. I then changed the WAN in Configuration Professional to use ADSL and I get a solid ADSL link LED and solid act LED, but no traffic passes. CP shows the ATM0.1 link as having no IP address.

I'm aware that I should probably be using the CLI and not any of the terrible GUI tools, and it's my intention to learn and get my employer to put me through a CCNA course, but for now I just need this thing working.

 I think that's left over from me testing it at my desk using GE1 as the WAN, the WAN now is/should be the ADSL modem (PPPoA).

lol internet. posted:

I know this is a Cisco thread but I didn't want to create a new thread for this question and since Cisco bought out Meraki, I figured I'd ask here.

I'm probably going to get a Meraki MX60 router. I was wondering if anyone has experience with any of their products. I'm wondering if I can just use it as a home router with the features, or will I need the subscription licenses? I've been having trouble finding info on this online.

You need the license for it to be usable. I've had some Meraki kit, the MX60 arrived with a dead port and it took a while to convince the support guy I wasn't an idiot and to swap it. Then an MR16 died and it took two weeks to get the replacement shipped.

The management is nice and it's really easy, but the quality control of the products and the support sucks poo poo.

 Would the 867VAE not do what you want?
