Campus Clustering Guidelines
All members of a Cisco CallManager cluster must be interconnected over a LAN.
Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(5) clusters are not supported over a WAN.
The following considerations apply when configuring a campus IP telephony
network:
• Maximum of eight servers per cluster with Cisco CallManager release 3.0(5).
• Maximum of 10,000 total registered devices.
• Maximum of 2500 registered IP phones or 3000 devices per
Cisco CallManager, including devices registered under failure conditions.
• Switched infrastructure to the desktop (shared media is not supported).
Within a switched campus infrastructure, you can generally assume that the
bandwidth is adequate for voice applications. This bandwidth availability depends
upon appropriate design and capacity planning within the campus in addition to
the establishment of a trust boundary and the required queuing, as discussed in
Chapter 2, “Campus Infrastructure Considerations.” There is no requirement for
call admission control within a campus cluster.
Cisco CallManager servers should be distributed within the campus to provide
spatial redundancy and resiliency. Many metropolitan sites and campus buildings
may have only a single conduit providing IP connectivity to other members of the
cluster. In this case, if IP connectivity fails, local call processing must be
maintained by means of a local server. Gateway resources for PSTN access should
likewise be placed strategically to provide the highest possible availability.
Figure 3-6 depicts a typical campus or metropolitan-area network (MAN) cluster
deployment.
