J B, If you're familiar with Cisco routers, WAN troubleshooting (probably T1 or Frame) and QoS intricasies, then $5,500 is way too much. You could set up the routers well within a single day, probably closer to 1/2 day.
If you're not familiar with Cisco routers, especially QoS since quality problems may only arise under certain load conditions, then having an outside company do it correctly may very well be worth it. I suppose it all depends on how important uptime is to your company. If your company stands to lose money if voice calls can't go through or if reliability is an issue, pony up and pay the $5,500. If you're up to the challenge, poke around Cisco's site. There's not much detail on your environment, but you'll probably be interested in PPP interleaving, FRF.11 or 12, LLQ and the various classification techniques. Getting voice over your data circuit reliably requires that you look at the path end-to-end, so you might also be interested in looking at what layer 2 classification/prioritization is available on your switches. As far as IP connectivity, not much has changed in the last 2 years. Assign valid addresses, pick a routing protocol and whalla! That should be enough to get you started anyway. :) - Tom J B wrote: > Hi, Everyone > I just been awarded the responsibility of installing 4 3745 Cisco routers. > The local phone company wanted $5500 dollars for the installation and my > employer thinks is to much.
