SUGGESTIONS Cisco phones over VPNs

[IanWorthington]

Does anyone know for sure if a Cisco SIP phone will register and work correctly over a vpn to a remote pbx?

Never used a Cisco phone over a VPN, but done properly, the Cisco phone should not know its on a VPN.

Which models? The 504, 508 and 525G2 certainly work fine; but VPN should be completely transparent to any phone.

I use a 7940 & a 7960 over an OpenVPN all day long, works fine. The VPN is transparent to the phone, it doesn't know any better.

79xx is what they are.

Thanks tbrummell: that's what I was hoping for but I can't test it for a couple of months and needed to be sure.

Many thanks all.
