enough IP addresses to serve the devices that you need to connect to your
network.
•
Use stable DNS server addresses for URL name resolution. Your Internet
Service Provider can provide the primary and secondary DNS server IP
addresses.
•
If you need to directly connect more than four network devices (other than
wireless devices), you will need to connect an Ethernet switch to the
WRP400. For voice deployments, Cisco recommends use of the SLMxxxP,
SRWxxxP and SRWxxxMP switch product families. The SLM224P is a
popular choice. For more information about these switches, visit the
following URL:

•
If you use an Ethernet switch, configure it to ensure voice quality. The
following settings are recommended:
-
Enable Port Fast and Spanning Tree Protocol on the ports to which your
voice devices are connected. The Cisco phones are capable of
rebooting in a few seconds and will attempt to locate network services
while a switch port is being blocked by STP after it senses a device
reboot. Enabling Port Fast means that the network will be available to the
phones when needed. If the switch does not provide a way to enable
Port Fast, then you must disable Spanning Tree Protocol.
-
In the administrative web pages for the switch, you should enable QoS
and choose DSCP as the Trust Mode.
