5.4.3 How Many Simulated IP Phones Do I Need?
The number of simulated IP phones you need to define in the Cisco CallManager/
CallManager Express depends on the number of tests you plan to configure. Different
types of confidence tests need a different number of IP phones.
A predefined MAC address range has been set aside for these IP phones so that it does
not clash with any of the real IP phones or devices in the network. The MAC address
range that is available for synthetic testing is between 00059a3b7700 and 00059a3b8aff.
It is a good idea to input the description for these IP phones as "Operations Manager
Simulated Phone" when they are configured in the Cisco CallManager/Call Manager
Express so that it is distinct from the descriptions of other IP phones in the Cisco
CallManager/CallManager Express. The phones to be used in confidence testing must be
configured as 7960 phones in the Cisco CallManager/CallManager Express.
