[OSL | CCIE_Voice] Fwd: LAN QoS Basics
Hi, I have been trying to do some QoS lab and seems that I am missing some basics here: ! class-map match-any Voice-Sig match ip dscp cs3 match ip dscp af31 class-map match-any Voice-RTP match ip dscp ef ! ! policy-map Voice-QoS class Voice-Sig set dscp cs3 class Voice-RTP set dscp ef ! interface FastEthernet1/0/1 switchport access vlan 12 switchport voice vlan 11 mls qos trust device cisco-phone mls qos trust dscp spanning-tree portfast ! interface FastEthernet1/0/2 switchport access vlan 12 switchport voice vlan 11 spanning-tree portfast However the moment I put the command service policy input Voice-QoS I get err messages as following: Switch(config)# Switch(config)# Switch(config)#int fa 1/0/1 Switch(config-if)#ser Switch(config-if)#service-policy in Switch(config-if)#service-policy input Voice-QoS Switch(config-if)# Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Aug 18 18:01:20.952: %QOSMGR-4-CLASS_NOT_SUPPORTED: Classification is not supported in classmap Voice-Sig Please advise, Regards ___ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com Are you a CCNP or CCIE and looking for a job?

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Multicast MoH.
Do you have the command ccm-manager music-on-hold applied? Even on h323 this command is required for pstn multicast moh On Aug 28, 2013 5:12 PM, Alex Mendoza aa.mend...@icloud.com wrote: Hi All. Is there a solution on this...

To solve this issue, I need to remove MTP required form H323 CUCM config. I see this is an expected behavior, see the note from cisco doc. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/admin/7_1_2/ccmfeat/fsmoh.html *Note *The following restriction exists for multicast music on hold (MOH) when a media termination point (MTP) is invoked. When an MTP resource gets invoked in a call leg at a site that is using multicast MOH, the caller receives silence instead o music on hold. To avoid this scenario, configure unicast MOH or Tone on Hold instead of multicast MOH. Is there a trick to get multicast on a PSTN call, when MTP required is active on H323 GW? Any thoughts?

hi Laksh, Thanks for your inputs here.This was a good discussion. It is always good for us to all know about things that happen outside . Talking about Telco OTTs we can already see few of the Telcos have come out with Webrtc solutions for enterprise and service providers . Check this video out too depicting their solution... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz-BQZMp3sk Most of these applications written on software are supposed to open source and left for the users to customize . No real networking staff expertise required just download the SDK/API and customize and no more complex network topologies in future. Also no licensing fee too . Hence a real killer of techology in the future most likely we will see a wide spread of this starting 2014 if all predictions are to be believed.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Is the CCIE voice worth anymore?
Drake I can tell you that there is a big push to put more services in the cloud at major SPs. UCS platforms has made it easier to host multiple customers in a multi-tenant environment and provide customers their own dedicated voice and video application customized to each customer. Video is definitely a growth area the high end video conferencing using dedicated rooms with equipment worth 200-300k is a niche market, growth is in the desktop, mobile areas.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Is the CCIE voice worth anymore?
Let me just say that I love this thread! @Laksh about Asterisk, from my experience you'll be hard pressed to find anything (non-proprietary) that Cisco UC can do that Asterisk cannot. Complex dial plans, feature rich VM, native call recording, mobility, etc - Asterisk can do it all straight out of the box. That being said I only use Asterisk to fill in gaps when there is something that Cisco UC can't do easily or without costing a small fortune, since Asterisk can do it for free. Being an open source platform, if the feature doesn't exist you can code it yourself. I've never deployed it as an overall solution but just as a tool to fix a problem. I know there are some large(ish) SP's using Asterisk like SIP-UA, so I believe it has the ability to scale although I can't attest to that myself. In comparing reliability, there have been some kludge versions of CUCM out there as well so depending on who you talk to about Asterisk, you might get mixed results. I have never had a problem with it's reliability, outside of problems I've caused myself :-) If you're interested in a nice introduction to Asterisk without having to use the somewhat cryptic config files, download Elastix and deploy as a VM. It runs on CentOS with a GUI and it's really straight forward to setup. Use 'Elastix without tears' as a guide, although it's a little dated 95% of the info is accurate. You can get a free SIP trunk to the cloud using SIP-UA. I think Asterisk and it's soft-switch cousin FreeSwitch are going to become more and more popular. I've personally spoken with 3 tech start-up companies that are providing web-based telephony services using FreeSwitch ( https://www.speek.com http://anymeeting.com http://www.voysee.com) and I'm sure there are many more out there on the rise. Just like moving from a CO where an operator was physically plugging in cables to connect calls all the way up to our current IP infrastructure, the industry continues to change and advance so it's up to us to stay relevant. That's the thing I like most about Telephony/VoIP/UC/Collaboration is that even though it continues to evolve and update, until humans start using ESP to communicate it's going to remain absolutely necessary, which means (hopefully) a job for us!

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Is the CCIE voice worth anymore?
Hello Martin, Thanks for your inputs. Food for thought - the UC vendors otherwise rivals when it comes to competition seem to team up against Open source projects in the World Wide Web Consortium ( W3C) and keep causing roadblocks in the standardization of Webrtc. Why? it seems like it threatens their own products . However open source communities such as Mozilla are fighting hard to push this through. The Future definitely has a lot in store for IP Telephony.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Is the CCIE voice worth anymore?
Hi Drake, That's an interesting point. I've definitely heard of Microsoft creating such road blocks and I know first hand that Internet Explorer loves to be different when it comes to web programming. Here's a funny take on MS (with a measure of truth): A thirty-two bit extension and graphical shell to a sixteen-bit patch to an eight-bit operating system originally coded for a four-bit microprocessor which was written by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition. I've spent some time in Cisco's Jabber CAXL library which is about 40k lines of Javascript and while it's not truly WebRTC, they're really pushing for developers to integrate voice/video/im into the browser. From what I know of Cisco, they seem to typically be in support of standardizations and often incubate technology and then release for standardization. I could be way off on that one so feel free to disagree. Browser support is a big issue too since only the modern browsers are supporting it, it's going to be a while before the desktop/laptop world is fully ready but since mobile devices are refreshed so often they're typically pretty up to date and should support it now and if not soon. The bottom line for me is that competition breeds innovation so any company that blocks legitimate advances to protect their own profits will ultimately fail. Karma has no menu, you get served what you deserve! Marty On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 12:21 PM, Drake J jdrake...@gmail.com wrote: Hello Martin, Thanks for your inputs. Food for thought - the UC vendors otherwise rivals when it comes to competition seem to team up against Open source projects in the World Wide Web Consortium ( W3C) and keep causing roadblocks in the standardization of Webrtc. Why? it seems like it threatens their own products . However open source communities such as Mozilla are fighting hard to push this through. The Future definitely has a lot in store for IP Telephony. On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 7:20 PM, Martin Sloan martinsloa...@gmail.comwrote: Let me just say that I love this thread! @Laksh about Asterisk, from my experience you'll be hard pressed to find anything (non-proprietary) that Cisco UC can do that Asterisk cannot. Complex dial plans, feature rich VM, native call recording, mobility, etc - Asterisk can do it all straight out of the box. That being said I only use Asterisk to fill in gaps when there is something that Cisco UC can't do easily or without costing a small fortune, since Asterisk can do it for free. Being an open source platform, if the feature doesn't exist you can code it yourself. I've never deployed it as an overall solution but just as a tool to fix a problem. I know there are some large(ish) SP's using Asterisk like SIP-UA, so I believe it has the ability to scale although I can't attest to that myself. In comparing reliability, there have been some kludge versions of CUCM out there as well so depending on who you talk to about Asterisk, you might get mixed results. I have never had a problem with it's reliability, outside of problems I've caused myself :-) If you're interested in a nice introduction to Asterisk without having to use the somewhat cryptic config files, download Elastix and deploy as a VM. It runs on CentOS with a GUI and it's really straight forward to setup. Use 'Elastix without tears' as a guide, although it's a little dated 95% of the info is accurate. You can get a free SIP trunk to the cloud using SIP-UA. I think Asterisk and it's soft-switch cousin FreeSwitch are going to become more and more popular. I've personally spoken with 3 tech start-up companies that are providing web-based telephony services using FreeSwitch ( https://www.speek.com http://anymeeting.com http://www.voysee.com) and I'm sure there are many more out there on the rise.

No matter what, there will ALWAYS been a need for large scale Enterprise voice systems. I am one of those people, and I am sure I am not alone, I will always want a physical phone. I am also one of these engineers who will always recommned a system that is directly under your own site's controll. Clouds are great, but they have their place.

+1, although large scale will be something like 20k+ phones. Many small and mid-size companies will move to cloud eventually, given the cost savings with infrastructure/IT. Office 365 is an example.

I definitely prefer a physical phone to a soft phone! Kind of a bit off topic, have you guys seen this: http://www.shoretel.com/about/newsroom/press_releases/New_ShoreTel_Dock_Transforms_iPad_and_iPhone_Into_Desk_Phone_.html I was just telling my buddy how Cisco had such a great idea with the Cius but missed out by trying to create their own tablet, and then I see an advertisement for this. If Cisco had only provided the dock for and already super competitive tablet/smartphone market, it would have been brilliant! I'm surprised Shoretel seems to be the only company that sees the opportunity here. Vendors can keep making money on hardware but provide a unified client experience across all platforms (Jabber). It's the best of both worlds! On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 4:17 PM, Michael Davis michaeldavis1...@yahoo.comwrote: No matter what, there will ALWAYS been a need for large scale Enterprise voice systems.
