[AusNOG] Juniper SRX 220 vs Cisco IOS G2 2911

[Chris Gibbs]

Hi all,



I'm currently reviewing alternative options to our current all-in-one deployment for small branch sites. We currently use Cisco 2911 series with POE switch-modules, DSL and LTE modules



A typical managed branch site for us has between 2 - 6 users and we will be rolling out to around 40 sites.



I have been looking at the SRX 220 with copper SFP module for the WAN and the POE option. Looking also at CX111 with Telstra 4G USB as a backup WAN interface.



Most of the features on the cisco we run look to be supported. I'm coming unstuck when researching how to enable the "switchport voice vlan <vlan id>" command from Cisco IOS.



It appears the command in EX is "set ethernet-switching-options voip" however after reading a bit, seems to be unsupported on 12.1 in SRX code.

We are also running Cisco phones; 6945 and 7960s mainly.



I do not have any Junos experience and only have begun researching. Currently completely the Junos as a second language. I do not have any test units yet either.



Anyone have any suggestions?



If the port is configured a trunk port and I enable tagging on the phone it may work. Or set the vlan and also set a native vlan. These are the only two alternatives that popped into my mind. Would prefer however to leave the phone zero-touch.



Also, in general I'd love to hear experiences from trying to move from Cisco G2's to Juniper (or any other alternative that can offer, WAN, FW, POE, 8 switch ports, 4G in a single chassis)



I have also cross-posted this to Juniper support forums:
