Large Campus Configuration
Figure 1-6 shows a configuration for a network of more than 1000users. Because it can aggregate up to
130 Gigabi t connections, a Catalyst 6500 multilayer switch is used as the backbone switch.
You can use the workgroup configurations shown in previous examples to create workgroups with
Gigabit uplinks to the Catalyst 6500 switch. For example, you can use switch clusters that have a mix of
Catalyst 2950 and Catalyst 2955 switches.
The Catalyst 6500 switch provides the workgroups with Gigabit access to core resources:
•Cisco7000 series router for access to the WAN and the Internet.
•Server farm that includes a call-processing server running Cisco CallM ana ger softwa re. Cisc o
CallManager controls call processing, routing, and IP phone features and configuration.
•Cisco Access gateway (such as Cisco Access Digital Trunk Gateway or Cisco Access Analog Trunk
Gateway) that connects the IP network to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or to
users in an IP telephony network.
