IP Address Allocation |
|
|
I'm overseeing the installation of a new phone system, and the people
putting it in have asked me to allocate IP addresses for the main
office and each of the remote locations.
We have a seperate network in place for the computers, and I have 2
types of IP addreses for these - the one the router/firewall uses, and
a range of addresses that the individual computers use. This is only
operational in the main office, the remote locations have dial-up
connections at the moment.
The new phone system is completely separate from the current computer
system - it's managed seperately, it runs through different offices,
and it's really important that there's no crossover between the two.
My understanding would be that as this is a new network being
installed (the phone system will be running over newly installed
leased lines), and has nothing to do with our current IT
infrastructure, we would ideally get a new allocation of IP addresses
from the service provider.
Am I incorrect in this? Should I just be giving them numbers from the
IP address range we have for our other system? |

Is the "new phone system" a VoIP system? I suspect people think that
"over IP" means they can just attach the phone(s) to their intranet and
they are off and running!
They should know that QoS (quality of service or voice quality) is only
maintained by giving the voice service priority over, say, transmitting
large files. - RM |
