Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] [OSL | CCIE_VOICE] Location Based Call Admission Control
Thanks for that explanation Justin. Makes it a bit simpler to understand. Joel P From: ccie_voice-boun...@onlinestudylist.com [mailto:ccie_voice-boun...@onlinestudylist.com] On Behalf Of Justin Carney Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 8:11 AM To: Suresh Bhandari Cc: CCIE Study; ie ravindra Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] [OSL | CCIE_VOICE] Location Based Call Admission Control One more comment on CAC, but for the real world not for the lab... Locations CAC is quick and easy to setup, you don't touch the routers at all. The downside is it is really designed for a hub and spoke topology and it does not account for multiple circuits. RSVP on the other hand is path-aware, meaning you can have redundant circuits with different bandwidths. If you have a primary WAN with an rsvp bandwidth 1000 and a backup link (cable, DSL, etc) with an rsvp bandwidth 100 then the specific routers in the path of the call setup will be used to either admit the call or reroute via AAR. During normal conditions you can admit a lot of calls, but during failover where only backup circuit is active you can only admit a few calls. On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 8:03 AM, Justin Carney justin.s.car...@gmail.com mailto:justin.s.car...@gmail.com wrote: The two types of CAC are locations-based and RSVP-based. On CUCM they both have a configuration set on the location page, which may seem confusing at first. The key words to watch for in the scenario will be once bw is exceeded reroute call over PSTN means you need AAR, which could be either locations or RSVP. It they explicitly say use RSVP or if they say once bw is exceeded the call should proceed over WAN but get remarked down to [given DSCP] then this means you need to use RSVP. When using RSVP, do not put a bandwidth on the location page in CUCM! Locations-based CAC setup: -configure the location page with the bandwidth for the requested number of calls (24*Number of calls, do not add 16K for call setup) -that's it! CUCM will keep track of how many calls are going in/out of each location RSVP-based CAC setup: -first, you still go to the location page in CUCM, but DO NOT PUT A BANDWIDTH on the location -in the lower section of the locations page, select another location, use the reservation drop down box: - mandatory (video required) - not relevant for the lab, CUCM will try to setup audio and video and call will fail if not enough bw (then AAR will kick in if configured) - this *should* work the same as the next option since we're not using video phones, but I would suggest using the next option instead - mandatory (video desired) - use this option if you want out-of-bandwidth to reroute over PSTN (using AAR) - optional - use this option if you want the call to get remarked to a best-effort or CS1 and still go over the WAN - no reservation - this means RSVP is disabled -once the location is setup to use RSVP, you need to create an MTP for both sides of the RSVP call. For example, if using Site A to Site C, create an MTP for site A, add to MRG/MRGL and assign to site A phones, then create an MTP for Site C add to MRG/MRGL and assign to site C phones -now on to the routers, you will need to create an MTP on each router. go to the documentation site CUCM config examples and text notes ctrl+F to search for MTP and grab the IOS CLI from here. modify the sample CLI in notepad and make sure to add the rsvp command under the dspfarm profile # mtp. -finally, go to the serial sub-interface and assign the command ip rsvp bandwidth X. On this line the bw is 24*Number of calls + 16 (call setup for a single call -make sure the IOS MTP is registered in CUCM -when placing a call, use show ip rsvp reservation to watch the RSVP in progress. while ringing the output will show 40k, once connected it will show 24K.

I have a scenarios where I want to push most if not all of the called party transformations onto the gateway (HQ). When I configure a route pattern on BR1 for TEHO to HQ I see the call hit the HQ gw but the called party xforms are not taking place. HQ works fine. The called party css is applied on the GW so shouldn't that affect any call going out thae GW? The only difference with HQ is the RP is pointing to a standary local RL opposed to BR1 pointing to a newly created RL. I can make this work by adding the manipulations to the new RL but I am curios why this isn't working.

[OSL | CCIE_Voice] Self terminating PRI using VRF aware h323. Is it possible
Hello Group, I am working on getting a home lab setup to practice for the IE voice lab. I have almost enough equipment to setup all 3 sites with the exception of the 4 router to either run the PSTN or Branch site. I have plenty of DSPs and MFT voice cards but short 1 router. I am researching if it is possible to utilize VRFs to configure a router as Branch site and PSTN by self terminating a back-to-back PRI. Just wondering if anyone else has set this up or researched if it is possible.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] No Product, Full refund.. simple logic?? not really??
okay, first of all thanks for the replies. I got mail from TA saying that there was a form for refund request and i must fax it. I am doing it now. That was huge relief as i hadnt got any communication from ipexpert even after i mailed wayne telling about my issues. I have been quite helpful here wrt ccie studies. This is the first time i ever had to say something like this about ipexpert. It just freaked me a little.. i dont know about others... this is my own money..no sponsors for me. I still think ipexpert workbooks really stand out. I have had looks into other vendor's materials but i always prefered ipexpert for studying. With the new blueprint and immense expectations from candidates...I'm sure ipexpert is overworked here...May be as Wayne said its just a one off situation that i find myself in. The first time around when class was cancelled my TA said refunds would not be allowed. Thats why i was little upset now. But yeah i am sending the form now...so i guess i shouldnt have any complaints now. Sorry for posting in OSL.. i always looked to OSL for help on CCIE questions... I know how it feels to get unrellated questions on a technical forum. I even posted back at those cheat selling cciecert people asking to stay away from this forum. Sorry again to offend anyone, if at all i did. Joel.

Guys - I'll deal with this customer directly, but as of this morning there was not a refund request. We've never denied one and never will. I think it's obvious that we care about our clients and do a great job - therefore I'm not even going to take the time to defend or respond to these comments. We reserve the right to cancel classes per our registration form, and honestly - most of our online classes never took off or filled up - students prefer to be live with the instructor. I made the call to cancel these 2 classes and invest the instructor's time in product development due to the massive amounts of changes and work we had ahead of us. It's unfortunate that this student had a class cancelled twice, but if he would have invested in a live class - it would have been delivered (I don't think we've cancelled one live class this year). Also, we did notify this client in a timely manner as outlined on the registration form that he signed. This is a support list - so from now on please contact your Training Advisor if you have any unresolved issues - or contact me directly.

He simply wants our opinion whether or not he is justified in his request for a refund for an undelivered product. To answer you Joel I say yes. If the vendor has the right to cancel the class why doesn't he have the right to cancel his order, especially if they can't give him a delivery timeframe? I'm sure we all realize that a boot camp/vclass is not a golden ticket/silver bullet. I personally have never taken one, but it must be an important enough aspect of preparation for people to pay $1499, and that's the discounted price. But also keep in mind that reserving a whole week for a class is not exactly an easy task in the life of an implementation engineer.

Michael, quite rightly i am dissapointed. I'm sure its not without reason. For one second just forget about my lab and my passing the lab etc.. ipexpert is a company...so if they dont give u the product..then there should be some measures to refund the customer..not to mention the problems it might have caused them... how about u order the vod and then u get it 1 year after?? how would you like that??.. what if u didnt have time to wait for one year..and had to hurry up things...?? what if that product would be worthless to you unless u get it within a time-frame? just clearing my doubts... i am not insane here... looks like u have r blindly supporting ipexpert... i posted it here so that this OSL list and fellow candidates will correct me if i am being too rude in asking for a refundi want to know what do others think...and also warn people who may be in my position later... joel.

Sounds like you were banking on the v-class being the golden chalice to your lab preparation and tight timelines. Walking a tightrope, you will eventually fall off. Sorry, the CCIE is not college. Go to class, study and you WILL graduate. There is no formula. Save the vclass for when you have time to study and you think you are prepared enough to take it and get the most out of it.

Ipexpert kept numb about this class even when i had less than one month away..that made me feel jittery and made me franatically mail them about it... they asked me to stay tuned for the final shipment details and vclass. less than a week away i still got nothing... then with a day or two left, i got a mail saying your vclass has been cancelled due to shortage of enrollment something like that... i was so stressed out... i got an offer from a leading company...and i took that up.. it will mean me staying away from ccie for a while...but i am planning to take the attempt on dec.. i asked wayne for a refund..but i am not sure he is listening...

Most people on this list are here because they're working through their IPexpert labs in preparation for the CCIE Voice lab. If they did, it seems like they were willing to invest in you even if they were small time. That's still a good situation to be in. Besides the fact that you should always look at the market to determine the long-term viability of your current training (personally, I think VoIP is a safe bet), you should also do it just because you enjoy it. If you find yourself working on phones at home in your free time, you should continue with it. People who enjoy what they do are better at their professions just because they spend so much time doing it. I know people who are in VoIP because they fell into it and aren't really that into it - they're good engineers but not great. Enjoying what you do will definitely help you justify those frustrating training sessions when you can't get CUBE to work or working through some bug in your lab that, despite being a bug, you still need to learn how to deal with it.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] cipc gets voice vlan through switchport voice vlan ??
Since ip cant be learnt through cdp(the above guide itself says so) the main reason of the cdp will be to give vlan id from switch... it only makes sense if voice vlan can be assigned by swicth port voice vlan and hence qos and security can be given specific to the cipc and not to the pc in general(even if some hacking software modifies the dscp codes of say torrent traffic ;P ) either it doesnt work the documented way..or i just dont know how to make them work...mostly the later..when was the last time cisco was wrong?? ;P joel.

On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 8:52 PM, Art Sandborgh asandbo...@hotmail.comwrote: All, As promised here are the questions and my answers, and also since several list members asked about strategy I’ve added a couple sections on both study and lab. Finally I have included a lessons learned section. All of the following is based on my experiences preparing for, and sitting the exam and are in no way representative of what someone else should necessarily do. If they help you, great. If you have a better or alternative method, by all means please help the other list membership by posting it. This is what finally allowed me to pass the V3 lab and hopefully it will aid others in their efforts to do the same. QA I have rec’d and responded to: 1. q. How have the proctors adjusted to the V3 lab content? Are they familiar with it or has anyone encountered confusion or bewilderment on behalf of the proctor due to the new content in lab? a. I asked a few questions of one proctor – none were terribly technical that I can recall, but he was able to answer them immediately and clearly, which implied to me that he was quite familiar with what I was asking about. 2. q. Do you work with Voice more than any other area of Cisco technology? a. Yes I have worked voice - primarily Cisco voice products since 2000. In the last two years it has been exclusively voice. Working with it in the field helps develop troubleshooting techniques and a deeper understanding of the product set system wide, but you also develop habits that don't necessarily transport to the lab well. 3. q. Your history is much like mine, I've taken V1, V2 and now heading toward V3. Can you tell me what you changed in studying that allowed a pass this time? a. I will cover this below in the strategy section below 4. q. I do want to know how long you studied every day, my family is starting to get annoyed by my lack of just being there (lights on but nobody home) when I’m home labbing. How did you cope? Lots of coffee, monster drinks, redbull? a. This is a tough subject and I had it easy by comparison to many on this list. Since it spanned five years it went in spurts and starts – and yes my family did get annoyed at times, but luckily my employer was supportive through the entire gig and when I wasn’t billable I was able to study during the day. Towards the end they also took me off of availability and allowed me to prepare full time. Generally I would lab for about eight to ten hours starting at 6:00AM and then do another 2 to 3 hours of research and technology work after that – or until my brain shut down. Let's face it - what you ask about is time management - it's a big part of the lab preparations as well as the lab itself. I don’t consider myself an expert on this at all – perhaps other folks can contribute thoughts/strategies? 5. q. What is the equipment list of you home lab? a. Please see below – I have no home lab. Training Resources I used IPExpert/Proctorlabs and this list as my sole providers of certification materials and instruction other than materials on CCO. I signed up for their end-to-end program last year and sat two of their instructor led boot-camps (the second time free – per their guarantee). Both classes were very valuable in my overall preparation – not only for the technical information gathered but for the lab strategies and information/analysis of the CCIE Voice sections of Cisco Live. I attribute a good deal of my success in passing this round (V3) to the materials and instruction from IPExpert, as well as all of the V2 materials that are still applicable. I also would like to recognize Vik Malhi for helping me adapt my field deployment habits to effective lab execution routines. Equipment I utilized a mix of Proctorlabs racks and a shared company rack that had 2800s, 3800s, a 3745, UC500 and a 7845 with 8gig fully loaded disk and VMware ESX for the five servers needed for V3. For some exercises the proctorlabs racks were more appropriate. We are utilizing our old Unity 4 box from the V2 lab for the AD/LDAP integration for V3. I had no home lab since my V1 attempts. Preparation Strategy etc. 1. If you haven’t already, figure out your weak points. Mine are speed and stress related mistakes. I never conquered my speed issues but the new lab has some aspects that I will delve into that helped reduce the need for brute speed on the console – for those of us lacking that talent. I took other measures to mitigate my stress related problems, but they still plagued me. 2. When I came to the conclusion I

If I where any of the training companies out there right now I would stop having classes and focus on getting my content up to the new blue print and not just adding a few things to the old content. I have now spent $6000 on over price workbooks and rack rentals just to be completely blindsided on the test. I would expect to see a few things on the test that are necessarily on the workbooks but not to this extent. Now ever rack providers is saying they will not have CUCM capabilities for the CUE until mid to late September. How hard is it to put a ftp client and the software on the VM PC??? Anwser 25 mins on our VM Ware server here in the office, the systems guys say the could copy the updated VM to 30 ESX boxes by morning! Guys that are just starting should know what is lacking, where is this info when you order!?

This was my third time around, twice with v2 now once with V3. Yes it was very challenging but completely doable. The big thing was the items that none of the prep material out there covers in-depth, including Cisco own SRND (it makes a good start). Sort of got blindsided by those items. Some hints: Do not waste too much time or money with the prep material from anyone at this point, they still have not got it together. Read the SRND word for word several times!!! If a rack provider cannot get the CUE loaded with CUCM version of the software do not buy from them Find the advanced dial plan presentation from Networkers 2009 and study like it was your bible Keep in mind 60% of the material from IPexpert, CCbootcamb, and Internetwork Expert will help, but is not complete enough especially in the advanced dial plan area and CUE with CUCM. I came close but could have used more study material on the dial plan, did not see the Networkers presentation until the day after I came back from my test.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] silly doubt regarding lab2A
thanks bill, so i suppose only the SUB server needs to be configured for autoregisteration right?? or is there redundancy possible even in this department??(i know for sure that there an be only 1 cucm group in a cluster with autoreg enabled.. but within that cucm group can all servers have autoreg enabled(for redundancy)??) joel.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] v3.0 personal lab quest...
wel.., i am now pondering about the connector options... i need to buy one from online/local store... and fast... the objective is to connect a 3500xl with 3750.. using the fiber connectors... i have narrowed my choice into *Cisco LC To SC Multimode SX Fiber Cable, 10 M, CSS5-CABSX-LCSC http://www.cablesandkits.com/cisco-multimode-fiber-cable-css5cabsxlcsc-p-2634.html and Cisco LC-SC Singlemode Duplex Fiber Patch Cable, 5M* i donno the diff between them... but i think i must choose... the first one(its more expensive)... i really dont know joel.

thats right... mostly a codec/regions problemm but just as an additional measure.. just check if u have connectivity between the 2 ip phones... i mean that the iphone in one site must be able to connect with other site ipphone using direct ip addresses u have a separate reachable link..or a default gateway configured on the ip phones(dhcp) right?? when a problem associated with this happens u usually get dead air...;) joel.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] silly GK registration failures..
well thanks for the help, Now i am a clumsy, slow learner.. so may be a little more reads would make it clearer for me... but i thought i'll just shoot it here with what i got from my first reading hope thats ok... step1) So the Tech-prefix will get absolute priority over anyother, if it happens to be the configured hopoff. step2) Otherwise, the target zone is selected based on the zone prefix..(practically a.k.a E.164 DNIS portion). stripped off tech-prefix is still kept in memory for worstcase senario. step3) Otherwise, if there does not exist a matching zone prefix, and a arj-reject-unkown-prefix is not set, then the source zone is made the target zone. else ARJ is sent step4) If The target zone(chosen by step 2 or 3)has the registered E.164 address endpoint, the call will be routed to that GW. But if there is no matching registered E.164 endpoint, then tech-prefix that was stored in memory will be taken and a GW based on the tech prefix will be chosen. step5) If there was no matching Tech-prefix, then a default tech prefix is looked, if it exists then that GW is selected. else ARJ is sent. step6) IF there is any problem with anything..(GK parameters like admission control..etc)the ARJ is sent other wise ACF with the selected GW ip is sent back to the source GW. Now just one thing remains to be clarified How does the source zone/ ARQ contain the tech-prefix?? .. eg, for tech-prefix 1# : we should prefix 1# in ras dial-peer?? thanks Mark for taking ur valuable time off, for this silly GK thread.. ;) joel.

To: Joel Jose joeljose...@gmail.com Cc: ccie_voice@onlinestudylist.com Date: Monday, March 2, 2009, 9:59 PM Hey Joel, Neither Zone Prefix nor Tech Prefix has any sort of priority over one another - they are simply evaluated at different points in the flowchart of decision making for Address Resolution for an ARQ (Admission Request). Attached is flowchart (found on pg 510 of the latest UCM 7 SRND) and you can see here that the first thing to occur is to see if any of the digits in the DNIS starting from the left and moving toward the right happen to match any set of digits found registered to the GK as a Tech Prefix. It makes now difference to the GK what the Tech Prefix is, nor how long it is, nor if it has a # separator or not. Once that Tech Prefix is matched, it is stripped (not ultimately - the TGW will still receive it - but insomuch that the rest of the flowchart and analysis engine can correctly process the remainder of the DNIS). So the remainder of the DNIS (minus the Tech Prefix) is then evaluated to see if it matches a Zone Prefix - then a decision is made as to what the Destination Zone should be matched (based on the Zone Prefix) to then attempt to find a GW in that outbound Zone based on everything else that is found (such as possibly, but not necessarily: Tech Prefix; Alias (H323-ID and/or E164 Num)). The main job of the Zone Prefix is to see if a match can be made to determine the Destination Zone (a.k.a Outbound Zone or Target Zone) to find a TGW in to ultimately go back and tell the OGW to send the call to. Once it determines what the Destination Zone should be, and then the the rest of the flowchart determines which set of TGWs are eligible to take the call, it then also pulls double duty to determine of the possible TGWs available - WHICH one should be used in what priority fashion.

Made no configuration changesand got exactly the same thing you were describing. I set up a couple of debugs on the gateway. I used debug h225 asn1 and debug ras. This allowed me to see the reject message coming back from the gatekeeper. I was getting this: value RasMessage ::= registrationReject : { requestSeqNum 2994 protocolIdentifier { 0 0 8 2250 0 3 } rejectReason invalidAlias : NULL gatekeeperIdentifier {UCME} } I scratched my head on this because it was defined correctly (it worked last night). So, I went over to my gatekeeper, shut it down, and removed all configuration. I added back ONLY the zone local for the UCME router. Went back to UCME did a no gateway followed by a gateway, and it immediately registered up. Odd. I went back and changed my h323-id to include the @ symbol to retest what I thought I had figured out. Shutdown both gatekeeper and gateway, brought them back upand it had no issue with the @. Guess that was a bad call on my part. At this point, my gatekeeper config looked like this: gatekeeper zone local UCME ccm.lab 10.50.1.1 no shutdown I then took and added back in my zone prefix for UCM. So now the gatekeeper looks like this: gatekeeper zone local UCME ccm.lab 10.50.1.1 zone local UCM ccm.lab zone prefix UCM 1* no shutdown The gateway stays registered. I let it run for a while. But when I unregister and then reregister, it FAILS. So, I'm wondering what the heck is going on. In doing some additional research, I find that the invalidAlias response can be a coupld of things, but usually has something to do with a duplicate ID value. When I looked on the gatekeeper to see the endpoints, I see this: GK(config-gk)#do sh gateke end GATEKEEPER ENDPOINT REGISTRATION CallSignalAddr Port RASSignalAddr Port Zone Name Type Flags --- - --- - - - 10.50.1.2 1720 10.50.1.2 49668 UCME H323-GW H323-ID: b...@ccm.lab E164-ID: 3001 E164-ID: 3002 E164-ID: 3003 E164-ID: 3010 E164-ID: 1234 === Check this one out E164-ID: 3210 Voice Capacity Max.= Avail.= Current.= 0 Total number of active registrations = 1 Now remember, the only thing I'd changed since the last rinse and repeat was that I added a zone prefix for the other zone of 1*. Now, the 1234 E164 ID is left over from something else, but I'm thinkingokaymaybe... So, the specific DN involved looks like this: ephone-dn 20 dual-line number 1234 call-forward all 2345 Let's set it not to register. So, I reconfigure the DN like this: ephone-dn 20 dual-line number 1234 no-reg call-forward all 2345 BANG! Gateway registered up. Boy did I learn some things from this exercise. Moral of this story for me is (1) check the gateway to see why it's rejecting. (2) look for overlapping E164 numbers against your zone prefixes and (3) reassembling the gatekeeper one step at a time is helpful. Interestingly, if you leave the debugs running when you add in the zone prefix for CCM, they do change. Not particularly user friendly, but it seems to tell you that if it shuts down, it won't

Actually if you use tech prefixes and give your various locations different zone names, it will make your dial plan (and the gatekeeper maintenance) a lot simpler. yeah i know gatekeepers help(no one else can) in distributed multisite configurations.. i just wanted clarity on the manner in which tech prefix works. Ive heard that E.164 zone prefix has more priority than tech prefix. I assume that default tech prefix means just like a default gateway.. to match if no other specified tech prefixes match.

I am sure my knowledge abt this may be flawed.. as i havent labbed it yet(how to lab tech-prefix??). i havent understood how the tech prefix really gets associated with an incoming call(ARQ) as far as the GK is concerned. Calls coming with tech prefix or from a gateway having a certain tech prefix will be matched against the corresponding tech prefix zone as configured in the GK ?? . Users will dial it along with the number or gateway will prefix it(from dial-peer config)??... Also will read up the srnds... as for ipexpert bls... i will purchase it only after my written(within 2 week hopefully).

If you'll pull the CCM 4.1 SRND, there is a flowchart on page 10-40 that shows how call processing works within a gatekeeper. Actually if you use tech prefixes and give your various locations different zone names, it will make your dial plan (and the gatekeeper maintenance) a lot simpler. As far as situations where you might use thissure. I know of a company that has 6 locations around the country. Each site has around 500 people at it. They *could* just build inter cluster trunks between all of themand for a while they did that. But they were getting clobbered on the WAN because they didn't have any way of tracking how much bandwidth was in use. A gatekeeper can fix this. It also simplifies things because you don't have to set up routing to all the other sites.just to the gatekeeper. And as long as you have a well designed dial plan, you're managing the inter site routing from a single location. Mark Snow did a video lecture on this subject as part of the package IPExpert put together (and that's where I got it). But they have some lectures posted to the web also where anyone can access them. Go here: http://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/a/p/vlectures There is a lecture on H323 gatekeeper basics.
