VoIP Readiness Assessment Traffic data collection: Probe/Endpoint locations?
VoIP Readiness Assessment Analysis: Probe/Endpoint locations?
*What criteria? How do you determine where to place the probes?
After much researching, i have not found this specific info?
--------------------------
Senario: 15,000 Node multi-floor Network/Average mid-range IT budget/5000/5500 Cisco
[Describe, diagram or layout any average Core Backbone Router/Switch infrastructure for this environment]
--------------------------
Goal: Collect all data traffic without disturbing existing Network/Engineers will analysis later.
On-site assessment to assess the network, compile and collect data and make a broad assessment of traffic patterns within the network - Engineers will prepare recommendations
--------------------------
*Which Analyzer/Hardware vs Software? Prognosis? Qualys? MBSA? ClearSight? NetIQ? LanStat? LanSurveyor? Other?
*How many probes will be required & Where should the probes be placed?
Example: Cisco IOS Devices allow synthetic data collection.
Setup SPAN/port mirroring at the core switch/router to collect traffic data.
*How do we collect/what rules determine data collection for all traffic accross entire LAN.
WAN sites another issue at another tiem.
If 12,000 nodes get IP phones, it seems that all subnets/VLANs/Switch traffic would need to be collected and yet that seems way to granular?
What am i overlooking? Thanks for the input!
