CCNP voice virtual home lab

Hi guys,

I'm building a home Vmware/GNS3 lab. I'm considering the CCNP voice track.

I read that CIPT2 includes multi-site distributed call processing. I managed to install a publisher and a subscriber as a cluster on vmware. I'm watching Blindhog's videos about building a GNS3 voice lab (with PSTN emulating router)

Do you think I need additional clusters per each site? or is it enough to have CUCM server on HQ and one CUCME per branch?

no CCNP Voice engineers around here?

You can survive with 1 more PUB at another site, no need to build a full on cluster for a remote site. The CCNP V 8 test SAF, and some intercluster trunk features, but you can get away with using a remote CME for most of it.
