I'm not sure about what you mean by compatible. For anything to work, if you know the ports you need to open then it can be done on both the router and pix.<br />

OK thanks. &nbsp;I heard that VTC systems utilize video-based packets, so was not sure if earlier versions of IOS or WIC cards, etc might have problems with these types of packets. &nbsp;If not, then great!<br />
<br />
Thanks again

It also depends on what you're trying to accomplish and what you mean by compatible. VTC can use h.323 or h.264, but the data stream is still ip packets with source/destination addresses and ports. <br />
PIX natively recognizes h.323 and handles it accordingly.<br />

What is the earliest version of IOS software that is compatible with Tandberg Video Teleconferencing? &nbsp;Does the WIC version of the router matter (we are using version 1)?<br />
<br />
What about PIX firewall software? &nbsp;I am currently running IOS version 12.2 and PIX software 6.3(3).<br />

Thanks for your assistance.

Cisco IOS version and Video Teleconferencing

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
