Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Can't dial from CME to CUCM
You should check dialed number analyzer (https://pub-ip/DNA) to check the cucm if it will route the call from the gateway to the dn. In dna use the 'gateway' option, pick the vgw, and enter a dn you're trying to call. If dna says it will route then you need to focus on the cme side, or if it doesn't roite then focus on cucm side. Without seeing more details about your config I will recommend two thing: 1. Run debugs on cme router to ensure you're matching the dial peer and sending to cucm. 2. Check the css that is applied to the vgw and ensure that css has the partition(s) that contain your DNs. -Justin (Sent from my phone, please excuse and/or laugh at any typos.)

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] MOH audio
You're close. The holder (phone that is initiating the hold) dictates the audio file and the holdee (phone being held) uses its configured Moh server. An example would be if user A is a help desk or other agent and has a recorded voice (special offers, website url, general tips, etc) as the moh audio file, but user B is a standard user with music file for MOH. If A places B on hold, then user B should hear the MOH file set on the A phone relevant to the help desk. For your scenarios it would look like this: A: b hears audio3 (network moh from A) streamed from server B (set on phone b) B: b hears audio2 (user moh from A) streamed from server B (set on b phone) C: a hears audio3 (user moh from b) streamed from server a (set on a phone) In another example, if user B pressed transfer when connected to A then user A would hear silence, not moh, before transfer is completed...hopefully you can see why based on the settings you listed. (Hint, take a look at which file A would be looking for from which server.) Hope this helps -Justin (Sent from my phone, please excuse and/or laugh at any typos.)

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] PSTN incoming /outgoing not working
Make sure the PRI is up on your router as well: Show isdn status L2 should say 'multiple frame established' and if it doesn't you have an issue. It would likely say 'tei assigned' when there's a problem. On an mgcp gw the L3 status should say 'cucm manager'. Troubleshooting guide here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wan/t1-e1-t3-e3/8131-T1-pri.html If the PRI is up and you still have issues then its likely call routing in cucm.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] FXO calls heard on multiple lines
Get two analog phones and plug them directly into the pots lines to test. (If you have more than two lines then you'll first need to identify which two lines cause the problem next time it occurs.) If you still hear the conversation between the two lines with the analog phones then your issue is with the physical wiring and/or provider side. It highly unlikely this is any problem on the voip side unless the fxo wic is bad. This problem was common back in the day when high numbers of analog trunks were common. This could be an issue on a punchblock that inadvertently crossed wires or a cut wire somewhere that these two lines are touching. -Justin (Sent from my phone, please excuse and/or laugh at any typos.)

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] 2nd LD call fails
As a test you can modify the mgcp setting in cucm to NOT send the outbound IE. This will confirm whether the Telco is rejecting the call due to invalid IE. I recently worked a similar issue where I saw an invalid IE error message (a rouge prefix on a rp caused the ani to be too long) but the calls were still routed by the telco and connected successfully. In this case the issue was cosmetic and the ani was easily corrected. -Justin (Sent from my phone, please excuse and/or laugh at any typos.)

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] DTMF Issue with SIP TRUNK (CUCM and CUE)
I concur with Somphol's suggestion and that mtp shouldn't be required. You stated you can record the voicemail but I don't see the sdspfarm tag 1 BR2-IOS-XCODE command under telephony-service. Is your transcoder showing its registered with show sccp command? I'm guessing that it is registered else you wouldn't be getting to cue using g729 that is coming over the wan (maybe the tag command just got lost on the copy/paste of the config to the email?). (Also for the sccp config you're missing the same tag command for the cfb and the conference hardware command. You have the sccp ccm pointing to the cucm ip after cme, are you trying to register sccp resources to cucm?) You can run debug ccsip messages on cme to ensure you see the dtmf comes across the sip trunk from cucm. Dial peer 3600 for cue lists dtmf-relay sip-notify and just double check this is set the same inside cue. For an alternate test, when you place the same call can you leave a message ( 2 sec) and hang up without pressing pound? Does the mwi come on and can the cme phone retrieve the voicemail after entering the pin? If so use the same debug ccsip messages cmd to see the expected/normal debug output for the dtmf on this working scenario.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] CCIE Lab Prep via VMware
I have been using an older macbook pro with 16gb to run my vms on fusion. (I was running the officially supported 8gb max up until 2 months ago when I got a 16gb kit on amazon for $150) I use the physical ethernet port in bridged mode (ie no nat, vms have layer 2 access to the eth0 port) for all vms and have my physical switch (hq switch) directly connected. All routers are behind the access switch and when I practice lan qos I just use an unused switchport since my pc port is also my server port. On my mac I also have wifi enabled and that has a default route. The phys eth0 port has a static ip (same subnet as my vms) but NO default route. I use the mac os x terminal app (think cmd prompt on a pc) to add static routes to all vm/lab subnets to use the eth0 while general internet traffic uses wifi default route. In this setup I *could* access gui from mac (ffox, safari, chrome) to cucm but latley I have used an xp vm full screen on an external monitor for my mock labs...to avoid nuances in my mac os x (non-ie browsers and terminal) versus the win xp (ie and putty) when you sit the real lab. If you're willing to spend the cash I highly recommend using hard phones (I just use 7961) and your own switch and routers. The reason I used my laptop rather than a beefy server was because I can take the vms with me anywhere and practice the gui sections while at work or travelling. (I could also use softphones to practice using only my laptop, just like some of the ipexpert bls demo videos.) I think newer versions of fusion let you build a loopback interface for the mac but I actually built an rj45 loopback plug for my physical ethernet port (on a mac the static ip on the physical eth port is only up when it is connected to a switch...or my loopback plug). Regarding vm sizing, fusion (and the free vmware player for pc) does NOT allow you to oversubscribe you ram. If you have 6 vms with 2gb vram each you must have 6*2=12gb ram on the mac...right now I can run 6 vms all together: -pub 1.5gb -sub .75gb -cuc 1gb -ccx 2gb (it doesn't work right for me after change ram post install of app) -cups 1gb -win xp 2gb When I had 8gb previously I could run them all but it was near 100% ram usage on the mac and it slowed to a crawl so I would only run one of the apps (cuc, ccx, or cups) at a time or even shutdown the sub if needed. Bottom line is practice whatever way works for you within your budget. I needed to be mobile so I used my laptop. If I had a dedicated rack and phones at work I would have used a server there instead and just vpn/rdp while remote. On windows laptop vmware player would be very similar - 8gb is do-able, but 16gb is ideal. I think the paid version of vmware workstation (under 100 I think) may let you oversuvscribe ram. If using a random server with esxi (or esxi on a vm inside fusion or player), you can oversubscribe ram but I wouldn't recommend it. Either way you connect your esxi server or laptop to a physical switch. Someone else suggested using the 3750 poe for all phones and skipping the esw wic and nm modules-I agree those aren't anything fancy just use the 3750 and config site b and c as trunk ports instead if avvess ports.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] CCIE Lab Prep via VMware
No problem, i have a pretty elaborate setup at home and I only included the relevant lab stuff. I actually have gear in my basement so I'm not next to the noise and have multiple vlans on my home network to trunk lab traffic around. On other disclaimer - I have a lot of background deploying/supporting ESXi in a production environment so I'm very familiar with virtual hardware, software, networking, etc. For folks that do NOT have a similar professional background with virtualization my advice would be to keep it simple - use a spare laptop/desktop/server and run esxi and be done with it. My laptop setup took a while to get fine tuned and have only had it setup this way in the last 6 months of studying (the first 9 months i had gear in my office, some vms on mac, some on external ESXi, it was a mess and too loud). Fusion/player isn't too hard in itself and is simplified by not trying to connect multiple networks like I did with my home wifi and lab concurrently - if you can't get it working just turn off your wifi, hard wire into the switch and assidn a static IP (or build a dhcp scope on hq router or switch) - don't worry about internet while you're labbing. I actually just passed my lab this week! I will be migrating to the collab using the written and haven't given much thought about the new lab (aka voice v4 using CUCM 9 or 10 with some video). For those writing off the current voice blueprint (due to no more seats) I would recommend getting at least one ISR G2 with PVDM3 and 3 9971 phones. The major difference here is that the PVDM3 chips can actually be used as a video conference bridge, for example 3 9971 phones. Also get familiar with current IOS like 15.1M/T and 15.2M/T, although there are tons of new features I don't know how many are voice/video related (there's now a trust list for h323/sip dial-peers, by default no IPs are trusted). Video conf reference for ISR G2: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/gatecont/ps4952/qa_c67-649850.html The collab blueprint doesn't include the TelePresence products (VCS, TMS, etc) so I would expect that configure a SIP trunk to a cloud video controller (aka VCS) would be fair game. The good news is this is very similar to build a cloud SIP trunk right now on current blueprint - build the trunk and the router group/list/pattern and you're done. bandwidth and codecs are controlled thru locations/regions just like with audio. Time will tell but I would estimate the at least 75% of knowledge gained from studying voice v3 will translate to collab v1 - no one knows *exactly* what will be dropped (frame relay?) and what will be added (video phones). I'm not sure if IPexpert has materials for collab at the moment, but I thought I saw holiday sales on their training that said if you buy voice v3 then you will get collab v1 materials for no additional cost. I've been stuck in CUCM 7.0 for so long I have been avoiding CUCM 9, but now I'm looking forward to it. Do a google search for new features in cucm 9 and consider whether those would be potential new test questions. The big one I would expect is enhanced-locations-CAC and possibly native CUCM call queuing. I would expect CCX to stick around, but native call queuing could likely replace (or compliment) B-ACD. I have learned a lot from this study group and will keep an eye on it for a while to help everyone still pressing on towards CCIE Voice/Collab. It was a long journey for me and this study group definitely on several occaisions - I plan to pay it forward and I hope the rest of you that WILL PASS will do the same for future candidates.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] CUPC Voicemail MWI
You could try leaving the message for the phone w/ cupc, then on the phone dial the DN of the MWI-off (eg, 1999 in IPexpert labs). I'm not sure if dialing the MWI off/on number on the phones even touches the CUC server, but it's possible - if it does sync to CUC in this case then the CUPC MWI would go off and that wouldn't solve your question. This may not be the ideal solution, even if it works, as I would expect that if you powered off the whole system/rack and then back on that the phone/CUC would sync the MWI status (still unread on CUC) and both the phone and CUPC would then show the MWI light. I don't know whether the pod racks are power cycled before grading and I'm not going to hope that they don't power cycle as a strategy. Alternatively, if you need to show a message and it's not explicitly stated as a voicemail or a MWI then you may be able to meet the requirement by showing a new IM as a message from the IPPM phone service to the CUPC user.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] SIP Prove TCP is used and Early Offer:- Can any one help in this matter
All 3 of your options are technocally correct for both questions, however I don't know if the lab grading has a preference for which one if you have to indicate the line within the trace using arrows I would personally use the first line of the header for tcp (your option 1) and either the content type sdp (your option 2) if my explanation was vague saying sdp in invite shows eo or i would use the m line of the sdp itself if saying these codec (s) are offered in the invite showing eo. I would not use content length because the other two are more specific, just my opinion (hopefully this works out in my next lab). -Justin (Sent from my phone, please excuse and/or laugh at any typos.)

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] XML Services
First, make sure you restart (or even reset) your phone after making a change to directories. Seeing XML file from a browser is a good start, I'm assuming that's what you mean by can reach the XML file... The syntax looks OK offhand, but I always pull up the default enterprise parameters URL and point a browser there for the sample syntax. If you have a permissions issue then create a new XML file on CCX and save it DIRECTLY in the inetpub folder (ie, don't save on desktop and move to inetpub folder). I always remove the leading/trailing whitespaces in the XML (i see your lines are indented) but I don't believe that actually matters. Try doing that and creating a new file just to test. File name should end with .xml not .txt. There a few things to consider when using both for services provisioning. First, this means phones will use both Internal and External services as the name implies. Internal services are the built-in services when CUCM is installed (missed, received, placed, personal, corp, AND VOICEMAIL) and external are specified by URL. I believe the external services are listed first, then the internal are listed second (please test - it could be the other way around). Like most settings in enterprise/service parameters these apply to all devices, UNLESS a setting is applied at the phone level. If you have the enterprise services URL and also a URL on a phone, the one on the phone is used for external plus any/all of the internal services. In this case the enterprise params url is ignored. This could be useful if you want to maintain 'default' services for all phones but one you can set the URL on just one phone. If you want to change all phones you can set the ent param for all phones and then optionally override that with a different custom URL on one phone. I have seen different strategies on these directory questions. Personally I do not delete the default internal services, instead I just disable them if I don't want to want them there and need to use both For example one of the IPexpert practice labs says disable all services but voicemail on a 'lobby' phone and don't affect other phones. Voicemail can ONLY be an internal service. The solution here it to mimic the full set of default internal services by creating an XML on contact center and put this URL in ent params, setting the global services provisioning to 'both. All internal services except voicmail should be disabled, so all phones will get missed/placed/etc. from the URL and VM from internal. For the one lobby phone simply set the services provisioning to internal (it will ignore the ent param URL since that is external and the phone only looks for internal). The only internal service is voicemail and you have met the requirements for this question. Hope this helps... - Justin On Fri, Nov 8, 2013 at 6:14 AM, Nicolas MICHEL mcl.nico...@gmail.comwrote: Hey guys I m using this xml for my services, just to check the structure.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] H323 gateway doesn't send the plus on outgoing PRI calls
If you're adding the plus I cucm this is expected behavior that it will be lost at the ios gw. You're not missing anything on cucm, this is just how h323 works on ios routers...the only option is to add a plus in the ios gateway. IOS/h323 will (by design, unfortunately) discard a plus in dnis on the inbound call leg, so make sure you are adding it on the outbound dial or voice port. (You might be able to add plus on an inbound dial peer but I haven't tried and not sure if it would then get discarded.) For the lab I would recommend doing ALL h323 digit manipilation on the h323 gw. If you do it in cucm then later when you need to do srst you will need extra dialpeers and/or translations. For example, I use only 4 outbound pots dialpeers in h323 each with a translation profile that modifies ani (for each site, matching 2... 3... and 4...) and dnis (usually just type/plan). I send all the dialed digits from a phone to the h323 gw the let the gw make the ani and dnis match the pstn requirements for all call types including teho. The only time I modify digits in cucm is when no new rp is alowed for 911 at site b and that uses slrg - the ani is masked to 7digits in cucm, but the h323 still must set ani/dnis type and plan to unknown for dnis. Also, for teho from site a to site b pstn, I would strip the 91408 from the dialed digits and prefix 9 in the route list/rg for h323 so it matches my outbound local dialpeer. Hope this helps. -Justin On Nov 4, 2013 2:19 AM, Paul Onwude ponw...@gmail.com wrote: *Hi All. * *Need expert opinion on this.* *I have a H323 gateway and i have setup called party transformations on CUCM to send “+” to the gateway.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] AAR Configuration
The aar-group setting on device pool does NOT get pushed to all devices in the device pool, while the aar-css does. My strategy is to set aar-css at the dev pool and to manually set the aar-group on EVERY device (phone, gw, vm or cti port, etc) and EVERY line/dn. This take no thought while provisioning thing and when I get to an aar question the only thing to build is the rlist (maybe, if an existing doesnt match exactly) and route pattern. That said my strategy is slightly overprovisioned to save time. I did thorough testing and came up with the minimum config for aar: 1. The calling entity must have the AAR-CSS on the DEVICE (there is no aar css field on a dn, it only exists on a device/port/gw) 2. The calling entity must have the AAR-GROUP set on Either Device *OR* Line/DN 3. The called/target LINE/DN must have the AAR-GROUP. (this makes sense, as you call a dn and you don't care which device(s) have a line appearance for this dn.) if the called DN doesn't have the aar-group it will NOT work, regarless of whether the device where the dn is assigned has the aar-group In summary, my strategy pit the group every where and the css on devices and I don't have to memorize the minimum req in the lab - or more importantly I don't revisit config pahes just to setup aar.

[OSL | CCIE_Voice] how-to: globalize/localize on missed call list vs display
Study group – below is a how-to/strategy response I sent to a friend earlier today who asked about the globalization/localization questions in the practice labs. I'm sharing here in case anyone else needs some pointers and has not yet asked the study list. I hope this helps someone…and if not that's fine, it already helped the person I wrote it for :-) *QUESTION*: CngPTP setup - globalize/localize on missed call list vs display. Should I globalize on the GW according to NPI/TON or do it manually using a CngPTP CSS? *ANSWER*: To solve those questions about modifying the display of a phone it helps me to break it into two steps/phases, at least conceptually. Once you practice it a few times you can configure it in one shot in a specific order, but don't try to do that until you nail the config down and do it a few times. *Phase 1*: IGNORE the phone display, focus on globalization - globalize the inbound call, make it show in the call list, and make it routable when you call outbound from the missed call list. 1. Look at the inbound q931 from the gw to see the PSTN's ANI, make note of the TON. Go to the gateway config in CUCM (either mgcp or h323), and set the prefix based on TON, for example if subscriber with 10 digits then set the sub prefix to +1 or whatever you need. Make this work first (i.e., make it show on the phone), then move on. 2. After you get a missed call with + in the call log (and for now + on the display), make it routable when redialing. Copy/create a RLIST (this is important for the display edits later, DON'T reuse an existing route list), and do your DDI/TON on the RLIST level to make the + call work – only worry about the specific source phone and destination number listed in the question. When this call works (ensuring the PSTN requirements are still met from the routing section), move on to the next phase. *Phase 2*: Now fix the localized display on the phone. 1. INBOUND – you have already modified inbound ANI on the gw (in CUCM) to be the +e164 number. Now create a new CngPTP (in a new PT or a placeholder xform-partition) to match this + number and manipulate to what the question states. The CSS that contains the PT for the CngPTP (either new CSS or a placeholder xform-css which contains form-partition) should now be applied at the target PHONE, remember to UNCHECK 'use dev pool CSS.' You should now have localized the inbound connected number and still have + in call log. 2. OUTBOUND – you should already be able to place the return call from call log, using RLIST for digit manip (part of Phase 1). The reason to do digit manip on RLIST is so that here you can ALSO do digit manip on the Route Pattern. The RP digit manip will be used for display on phone only because RLIST also does digit manip and RLIST will override the RP. (Side note, if you do DDI on RP and NOT on RLIST, then the DDI RP will take effect for the DNIS. In my labs I always do DDI RLIST except special situations like this or when I skip a RLIST and have the RP point directly to an ITSP trunk (and if the display number doesn't matter).) 1. Note – depending on which digits you are removing on the RLIST to make the call route (from Phase 1) the dot may be in the wrong place for your use pre dot strip here in the RP. In this case, move the dot to the right so you can use DDI for phone display to localize, but make sure to go edit the RLIST to prefix those extra digits that the gw needs to keep. 2. Example – you may have originally used +44.2077961234 and predot in RLIST to make the call route. Now for localization you may need to display 77961234 so you need +4420.77961234 in the RP and predot here. Since you moved the dot the DDI in the RLIST is broken, so now modify the RLIST based on the new dot position to prefix the 20. Now that it makes conceptual sense, practice a few times on different sites – make up your own questions/requirements once you get bored with the practice lab question. After a couple times, you'll see the 'big picture' when you read the question and you can go through the whole process and setup all the DDI on the first shot at the RL and RP (rather than doing the RL, then changing it after you realize the RP ddi needs to move the dot for phone display).

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] 4ESW modules QoS/Marking/trusting
The esw modules do not have any qos features. There's no need to use access lists because traffic entering the esw will not be remarked - the default (and only) l2 option is to trust the markings received from the switch ports. For lan qos focus on the 3750. On a slightly related note there are other things to mark on site b and c routers you can use ip qos dscp cs3 sig inside voip dial peers, prefix mgcp to that for mgcp signalling, and use sccp ip precedence 3 for sccp traffic. That should handle signaling markings from router-generated traffic (default for these is af31). Other option is to use acl/nbar to mark traffic.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Gatekeeper
In your HQ GK config you have not specified the IP address to which the GK will be bound, commented below in blue: gatekeeper zone local HQ cisco.com NO IP specified here, router will pick one (see below) no zone subnet HQ default enable zone subnet HQ 10.1.5.3/32 enable zone subnet HQ 10.1.5.2/32 enable zone subnet HQ 10.1.130.1/32 enable no shutdown ! If you do not specify an IP on the zone local command the router will pick a specific IP - I don't recall the exact rule offhand, but it may be the highest numbered loopback, and if none the highest physical interface. That default method doesn't matter since you can (ie, should) manually assign the specific IP you want to use and not worry about how the router will pick if you don't. *FIX - Assign an IP for the GK to listen on:* gatekeeper zone local HQ cisco.com *10.1.110.1 * specify the desired IP here after the domain - you can optionally specify a port after the IP, but if you don't it will default to1719 (and will be listed in show run with port 1719), which is fine unless the question tells you otherwise You should probably shut/no shut your gatekeeper after this change. It may even require you to remove the existing zone local HQ first. To speed up your BR2 gateway re-registering do a no gateway then gateway on that side. When I lab I always specific the GK IP even if not called out by the question. I typically use the loopback0 for GK and if using a CUBE I typically will use the voice vlan SVI - but it doesn't matter unless the question states what to use. For reference, the other related commands commented below: *! BR2 side* interface Vlan130 ip address 10.1.130.1 255.255.255.0 h323-gateway voip interface specifies to use this interface to source RAS h323-gateway voip id HQ ipaddr 10.1.5.1 1719register to zone HQ at gatekeeper with IP 10.1.5.1 on port 1719 h323-gateway voip h323-id BR2the local gateway's h323 identifier is BR2 h323-gateway voip tech-prefix 56tell the GK that my tech-prefix (to get to me, BR2) is 56 (on the GK you will see tech prefix 56*) ^make sure the above BR2 commands are applied on the interface you want BR2 to source, and the IP called out on the HQ side is listed on the zone local *!

When setting up a CUBE on the same router as the GK then this command will determine which IP the CUBE registers to the GK with even though they are the same router. Both addresses can even be the same, i believe. h323-gateway voip bind srcaddr 10.1.110.1use this interface to source h.225/h.245/rtp traffic. If your question states something like the phone's IP address should not be know by the cloud gatekeeper and should only see media from IP w.x.y.z then this command is used to pin media (along with media flow through on the voip dial peer) to the desired IP. Otherwise, this IP needs to match on the CUCM side if the gateway is using h323 to CUCM instead of mgcp. ^make sure the above HQ commands are applied on the interface you want the HQ router to source for CUBE, they are unnecessary (and don't do anything) for the GK process and are needed for cube (or if the gateway is h.323 then the voip bind src is needed to match the configured IP in CUCM) Hope this helps... -Justin On Mon, Oct 7, 2013 at 8:56 PM, Josh Petro josh.pe...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, I have a strange issue I ran into on a lab recently.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] TEI_ASSIGNED
Did you try the steps I outlined earlier? Does show ccm indicate your mgcp gw is regisyered to cucm? If not check your hostname and domain name (if set) on gw and double check the cucm config. If so it is registered you could take it a step further and remove the pri-group from the controller (and essentially all pri and mgcp config) reboot, then put it all back. Also, if this is your home lab (or if you have access) what does the pstn side of the pri config look like? Make both sides have the same isdn switch-type and the pstn side has isdn protocol-emulate network under serial interface. A reload of both routers wouldn't hurt either (before or after all the above).

The most common reason for not registering is a mismatch on hostname. The gateway will register as either hostname (if ip domain-name not set) or hostname.domain.com (if ip domain-name domain.com).

Use show inventory on the router and make sure cucm has the correct router model and nm/wic part numbers. If still no luck (just looking at cucm), then delete the gw in cucm and recreate it. On the gateway use ccm config server [pub ip] and ccm config to tell the gateway to download the config from cucm. After it registers you can the no ccm config and make the pri fractional. For some basics, can you ping cucm pub and sub from the gateway? Can you ping from cucm cli to the gw lo0 ip? Do you have any qos? If yes remove qos temporarily to make sure that isn't interfering. If, after all this it still doesn't work, you should take a look at router debugs and cucm traces to determine if its a config issue or a network path issue. If debugs/traces don't show any traffic you could also run a packet capture on both router and cucm to see if you are getting any traffic at all between gw and cucm.

These translations are based on the Unix Stream EDitor (SED) program and certain metacharaters need to be escaped to work properly, like the parentheses. They're called capture groups because whatever is included between the parentheses will be 'captured' to a buffer. You can then refer to it in the 'replace' string by referencing it's capture group number, which also has to be escaped with a backslash, like '\1'. In the *nix OS, you can create named capture groups so you can better identify the capture group and also insert new groups without having to update all others, but I don't believe this is possible in IOS.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] unity connection - transfer option for users.
What do you see on the voice gateway for ANI/DNIS of the two separate calls - inbound (PSTN to Phone (which is then CFNA to CUC)) and outbound (CUC to PSTN alt dest 9515)? Take a look your gateways settings for Redirecting Number IE Delivery (RDNIS) for both inbound/outbound. These checkboxes are adjacent to the Display IE Delivery (which is usually turned on). To test and understand the behavior of these settings I would recommend ticking these boxes on/off and retrying your inbound/outbound calls in this (and other) scenario. As a test try setting up a call such as PSTN SA phone CFA to a different PSTN number and look at the q931 debugs for ANI/DNIS/RDNIS. I haven't tested this recently and not sure if it applies in your stated scenario but try checking the box on SA gateway for the outbound RDNIS. This should allow CUC to send 3 IE out to the PSTN - the original ANI (PSTN caller), the redirecting number/RDNIS (would expect this to be either the DN of original called IP phone or possibly the vm port/pilot's DN/EPNM) and lastly the DNIS should be 9515. For a different scenario with SB in SRST - when a call to a SB phone does CFNA to vm you will send it out the PSTN to HQ vm pilot and on SA gw you need to allow (check) the inbound RDNIS. In this case the IE at SA router is ANI-original caller, DNIS-DID of vm pilot, RDNIS-the SB phone's DN. -Justin On Wed, Oct 2, 2013 at 10:56 AM, ramesh rameshdol...@rediffmail.com wrote: hi Martin, I have done that ( preserve original calling number ) in unity however it does not preserve the correct calling number for pstn callers .

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] unity connection - transfer option for users.
I wasn't sure RDNIS would matter here but figured I would throw it out there anyway (as it applies when redirecting TO CUC). It seems the unity service parameter mentioned earlier obviates the need to use RDNIS. With the option you proposed on creating a new RP/RL just for this requirement I would just set the digit manipulation/TON on the RL to whatever you see inbound from that specific PSTN ANI to HQ - unless the question told you what the expected outbound ANI/TON should be. Another option would be to compare the original PSTN number with the destination PSTN and set to local if same NPA, LD if different NPA, or international different country codes. If it comes in unknown/unknown then send it back out that way. On Wed, Oct 2, 2013 at 12:48 PM, Martin Sloan martinsloa...@gmail.comwrote: The RDNIS shouldn't be a factor here.

I recommend partitioning out a new pattern that matches the number you're trying to dial and handling the digit manipulation separately from the rest of the dial plan to keep it conceptually simple, but not necessarily 'cleaner'. Kind of along the lines of keeping AAR, CFUR, SNR separate. As for the calling party TON on this, your guess is as good as mine. If the task doesn't specifically ask to set the calling party TON and it says to use any line from the PSTN phone, what do you do?

Take a look your gateways settings for Redirecting Number IE Delivery (RDNIS) for both inbound/outbound. These checkboxes are adjacent to the Display IE Delivery (which is usually turned on). To test and understand the behavior of these settings I would recommend ticking these boxes on/off and retrying your inbound/outbound calls in this (and other) scenario. As a test try setting up a call such as PSTN SA phone CFA to a different PSTN number and look at the q931 debugs for ANI/DNIS/RDNIS. I haven't tested this recently and not sure if it applies in your stated scenario but try checking the box on SA gateway for the outbound RDNIS. This should allow CUC to send 3 IE out to the PSTN - the original ANI (PSTN caller), the redirecting number/RDNIS (would expect this to be either the DN of original called IP phone or possibly the vm port/pilot's DN/EPNM) and lastly the DNIS should be 9515. For a different scenario with SB in SRST - when a call to a SB phone does CFNA to vm you will send it out the PSTN to HQ vm pilot and on SA gw you need to allow (check) the inbound RDNIS. In this case the IE at SA router is ANI-original caller, DNIS-DID of vm pilot, RDNIS-the SB phone's DN. -Justin On Wed, Oct 2, 2013 at 10:56 AM, ramesh rameshdol...@rediffmail.comwrote: hi Martin, I have done that ( preserve original calling number ) in unity however it does not preserve the correct calling number for pstn callers .

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] QOS WAN
A few comments inline below in RED... On Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 11:00 AM, virajith vir...@rediffmail.com wrote: Hi Justin, Thanks for your reply. After taking out and reapplying the config it appears that the HQ to SC issue for calls work. The calls between SB , HQ , SC also work. However when inbound calls come from pstn to the H323 gateway leading to the PSTN I notice that it gives a fast busy. Upon removing QOS the calls work fine. Justin: look at the response below for question 3 on LAN QoS...if I come up with something in particular I'll let you know. Take a close look at your singling path between the gateway/CUCM and the phone/CUCM in the example as both are crossing the WAN (unless this is your HQ site), while the media gateway/phone should be local (unless somehow you are using an MTP at a different site?). One-way cRTP over WAN will cause issues, but this *should* only apply to calling over WAN and not to a gateway talking to a local phone (ie, not crossing wan - unless you have a home lab where using HQ switch to power SB/SC phones across WAN). Questions: = 1) Would you recommend applying wan qos manually? is it the same procedure ? Also how is it different from the auto qos option? Justin: I always use auto qos when the question asks for MLP. It can be done manually but there are a lot of commands to build the virtual-template and I cannot do these faster than auto qos. For FRTS I sometimes use auto qos and sometimes don't (use SRDN) to be familiar with both. If the question asks for class based then I just use the SRND reference config and do it manually. 2) What would be a safe approach to take ? Justin: To avoid issues I save the running config just before and just after auto qos, then use show archive config diff flash:before flash:after to see what auto qos actually did. (I do this on the switch too.) After auto qos I edit as needed, and if it doesn't work after a few minutes of troubleshooting I reload the router and revert to the before config. After it comes back up you can either retry auto qos (faster if it works, but if it doesn't you'll lose more time to reload again) or apply it manually (because you already have the cli from the first time and your tweaks). 3) My LAN QOS has not been setup on the switch ? Do you think that this could cause an issue on the WAN? Justin: I don't think the lack of LAN QoS would affect much on the WAN, although without reviewing a specific scenario I don't want to suggest its not possible under a unique circumstance (I can't think of one at the moment). However, you need to consider the end-to-end QoS from phones/servers/gateways marking traffic and the switch and/or router re-marking/shaping/policing. For example, if your WAN QoS polices signaling at CS3 to 5% there are differences between the trusted and untrusted versions of auto-qos. The untrusted methods will build ACL/NBAR to mark your traffic, but the trusted method relies on a correct marking already. Phones and servers should mark signaling CS3, but this old version of IOS uses AF31. You will need to set your generated singling to CS3 for mgcp (mgcp ip qos dscp cs3 sig), dial-peers (under dial-peer voip: ip qos dscp cs3 sig), and sccp (sccp ip precedence 3). Router generated media usually defaults to EF.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] TEI_ASSIGNED
I'll start by assuming your config is correct. Then, the first thing I try is as follows: no mgcp mgcp bind media source lo0 or whatever interface you are using mgcp bind control source lo0 mgcp bind media source lo0 mgcp bind control source lo0 mgcp This *usually* clears it up, assuming the configuration is correct. If that doesn't work, take it one step further to reapply the L3 bind command no mgcp int s0/0/0:23 no isdn bind-l3 ccm mgcp bind media source lo0 or whatever interface you are using mgcp bind control source lo0 mgcp bind media source lo0 mgcp bind control source lo0 int s0/0/0:23 isdn bind-l3 ccm mgcp This should take care of it. (Note, I haven't had to use this more elaborate method in a while - if there's an error when trying to remove L3 bind from serial interface, you will need to shut the voice-port then the serial interface, run the commands above, then no shut the serial and then finally voice-port, lastly turning on mgcp). A few other notes - I typically use the ccm config method to build mgcp, then issue no ccm config after it is built from the CUCM download. I noticed recently in my home lab is that I was applying the command ccm-manager switchback immediate BEFORE letting CUCM build the full mgcp config - the issue here is that CUCM does not properly set the switchback method to immediate (even when set in the GUI, on these versions of sw/ios) and it reverts back to graceful switchback (as indicated using show ccm). To correct this I now apply this command (and all others extra ccm/mgcp command, such as ccm music) AFTER config download and no ccm config. For giggles I reapply the bind commands as well using the first set of commands at the top of this email. The last couple times I did this in practice I have not had any TEI_Assigned and now that this is my routine it takes very little extra time versus doing a minimal config and then troubleshooting mgcp later if needed. When in doubt, reset MGCP from the gui and from cli using no mgcp, mgcp. (The latter is required if you are NOT using ccm config or have removed it. Even when ccm config is left in for a full 23 channel PRI its a good idea to reset mgcp from cli.)

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] QOS WAN
At first glance those steps look ok. What do you see from show traffic and show frame-r pvc # on all three site routers? For odd audio issues I would look at LAN QoS (make sure you're not policing too low) and ensure you don't have one-way LFI or cRTP (which looks like you moved crtp to policy-map already). For SC phones not registering double check to ensure your frts is keeping that PVC at 2M and its not at the default 56k once frts was enabled on physical interface. Worst case you could back out the configuration, reload, and reapply the config either using auto qos or use your current config as a template and apply manually. You could also post you full cli configs for review. -Justin On Sun, Sep 22, 2013 at 10:30 AM, virajith vir...@rediffmail.com wrote: Hello All, Any update? I am still waiting for a reply.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] H323 call failed in OWLE load 3
Take a look at the q931 to verify the outbound digits you are sending (assuming 911) and also the plan/type. In most workbooks the requirement for 911 is unknown for type and plan...if what your sending is isdn/subscriber and it don't match the question's requirement it could be the pstn rejecting the call due to that mismatch by design. If you have a translation profile on the outbound 911 dial peer make sure there are no unintential typos. In my home lab I don't change the config of my pstn router so some of the type/plan don't line up with all labs. If I have a call fail that I'm sure is going out correctly i will look at the pstn config and debugs an determine if its on the pstn side due - if so I just move on.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] srst mode all -- remove mode all
The command srst mode auto-provision all tells the router that when you learn info from a phone in srst mode (via SNAP) keep that info in running config. If you desire to keep all that info in running config you also need to keep the command in when saving the config. Althought I haven't tested it, I would expect that removing this auto provision all (or dn) would also remove the dynamically learned info from the running config but any command you manually typed (such as a hunt list) would stay. If you let srst learn the ephone dn dynamically, then you manually add a description (as in your original question) I would not expect than ephone dn or description to show in running config after removing the auto provision all. The link below discusses the various srst options and gives many cli examples of features you can deploy with cme as srst and using auto provision all. I would suggest revieiwng these config samples to help prepare for the lab. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/admin/configuration/guide/cmesrst.html I have heard the same advice for srst in the lab from several people: configure srst, test it once and exit, then save and reload. Do not test srst again, trust your config if it worked the first time. The reason for this advice is that the older router code has some bugs and if you try to enter/exit srst multiple times the first will work but it may fail on subsequent tries.

If not, you need to fix that first, start with the commands below and allow cucm to build the rest of the cli: Ccm config server (ip address) Ccm config (If you have ip domain-name... set on router cli make sure cucm is configured with fqdn such as routerhostname.domainname.com or it won't register) Beyond gw registration, there is more config on the cli not shown on your email - do you have dial peers? (Show dial-peer voice summary). If not, you'll need something similar to this: Dial-peer voice 1 pots Application MGCPAPP Port 0/1/0 Dial-peer voice 2 pots Application MGCPAPP Port 0/1/1 The link below shows a sample config of setting up an fxs/fxo port on an ios gw.

More things to check and provide info to the group so we can help: Gw registered? Any other pri on gw working? Cucm conf good - gw, route pattern, etc and DNA says it will route the call outbound?

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Not able to register Softphone on BR2-CME
A few things to try are listed below...at first this sounds like a routing issue but if not that should be quick to rule out. (This is assuming the hard phones are in a different subnet than your pc/softphone.) -can you successfully ping from pc to a different ip on br2? -can you successfully ping from hq router to loopback, and a different ip on br2? (Use extended ping and specify a source ip/interface that is the default gw of the subnet where your pc is configured) - (from hq and br2) show ip route - (from hq and br2) show ip ospf nei - (from pc command prompt) ipconfig /all - (from pc command prompt) route print In general, there a a few quick steps when using ping from a pc to narrow down the issue, working from your pc out. 1. Ping 127.0.0.1 (loopback) 2. Ping ip assigned to nic itself 3. Ping the default gateway (if this fails check your nic settings and then the layer 2 path to router, and router itself) 4. Ping a remote host (if this fails try a different, known working, remote host. Also check your subnet mask) If any of the above fail you should have a clue where to investigate. If all the above work successfully the issue is probably not your pc. (The probably means it could still be something on your pc like Windows firewall, or an antivirus or hids sw, especially if using a corporate pc.)

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Fwd: RSVP Max Sessions
My apologies for guessing about two sessions. I found through testing what Marcelo confirmed, sessions 1 will allow a single call. However, FOR THE LAB the number of software sessions per call is irrelevant - configure it way higher than you think you'll need (10, 100, 500), UNLESS the question tells you not to do that. If the question states don't configured DSPs that are not needed this does not apply to software MTP, as it doesn't use DSP resources. If you want to use a hardware MTP then yes you should be worried about DSPs (I would recommend using a separate transcoder and sticking with software MTP). I wanted to also confirm my prior statement about codec pass-through and understand when/why you should use it, so I did some further testing and research today. The short answer is that FOR THE LAB it does not appear to matter if you use codec pass-through, I got the same result for both with and without pass-through. (Please note, I did yet not test complicated scenarios such as a remote site phone calling to CCX which would use an MTP for RSVP then a transcoder to g711 to talk to CCX.) Either way, the CUCM region (g729) and location (bw unlimited, rsvp mandatory (with or without video desired)) must still be set properly. Personally, I don't use pass-through because it is one more variable if I need to troubleshoot and it does not help me in the lab. For the real world there are many compelling reasons to use codec pass-through (for example cisco tells you to) including fax/modem calls and sRTP, however those are not likely in the lab (I haven't seen them in any IPExpert workbooks). I expanded testing to see what effect codec pass through had on some other setups (beyond what we expect to see in a lab). For example (test 4 below), if CUCM is set to use G711 and IOS MTP has g729r8 and codec pass-through the call will setup using 96K and connect using 80K (sho ip rsvp res). Thus, codec passthrough effectively IGNORES the codec setting you have on the IOS MTP when the CUCM endpoints negotiate a codec. If the CUCM endpoints do not negotiate, then the ios mtp codec setting will kick in.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] RSVP Max Sessions
I believe each session is a call leg, but it doesnt really matter because the software sessions don't use any dsp resources so you don't need to be frugal. Many people use max sessions software 500 because that is the highest supported number and it doesn't cost any dsp. When verifying rsvp with show ip rsvp reservation command you will see two rows of info (one for each call leg). With g729 this command will show you 40k if you run the command while ringing or 24k if you run the command once the call is connected. Also, you should take out codec pass-through as that allows endpoints to negotiate codec and you want the mtp locked at g729r8 as listed. Hope this helps... -Justin On Aug 15, 2013 11:09 PM, Josh Petro josh.pe...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, Can anyone explain the Maximum Sessions command to me, please?

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] MGCP TroubleShooting
Every (normal) teardown in MGCP begins with MDCX (and M: recvonly) and then teardown is complete with DLCX. There is a slight difference in debug order if you are debugging both Q931 and MGCP packets but in normal cases you should see MDCX then DLCX in all teardowns (except temp failure or other anomalies). IF PSTN side ends call (from GW perspective): 1. *trigger* PSTN side ends call 2. *Q931 RX disconnect *(PSTN to CUCM via GW) 3. *MGCP MDCX* (CUCM to GW) 4. MGCP 200 OK (GW to CUCM) 5. *MGCP DLCX *(CUCM to GW) 6. MGCP 250 OK (GW to CUCM) 7. *Q931 TX release* (CUCM via GW to PSTN) 8. *Q931 RX release complete* (PSTN to CUCM via GW) IF CUCM side ends call (from GW perspective): 1. *trigger* IP phone ends call (SCCP or SIP to CUCM) 2. *MGCP MDCX* (CUCM to GW) 3. MGCP 200 OK (GW to CUCM) 4. *Q931 TX disconnect*(CUCM via GW to PSTN) 5. *Q931 RX release *(PSTN to CUCM via GW) 6. *MGCP DLCX* (CUCM to GW) 7. MGCP 250 OK (GW to CUCM) 8. *Q931 TX release complete* (CUCM via GW to PSTN) To replicate these logs above you need to turn on only two debugs: debug mgcp packets debug isdn q931 In other words, in MGCP you always have MDCX/200 OK then DLCX/250 OK. For ISDN you always have DISCONNECT (side that hung up), RELEASE (side that didn't hang up), and RELEASE_COMPLETE (side that hung up. The side that hangs up dictates how the MGCP and Q931 messages are interleaved. Does this help? I know the real question you're asking is which answer is the lab looking for - I cannot answer that but it depends on the question's wording. I haven't passed yet but I believe I got an MGCP debug question correct based on my score report. If the question states show the MGCP/Q931 debug where the call *begins to teardown* I would personally use MDCX/DISCONNECT. If the question states ...where call *teardown is complete* then I would use the DLCX/RELEASE COMPLETE. If the question is not worded clearly then talk to the proctor - if you explain that you understand the FULL teardown process (similar to above) but you are not sure which to use, they will understand that you know what you are doing and not just fishing for an answer. Still, you may get the common use your best judgement response...because they cannot answer confirming questions. Worst case, if after all this you still weren't sure, you could include BOTH debugs in the notepad file and put comments in there explaining the start/end of the teardown. -Justin On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 2:22 PM, IE Target myfrnd...@gmail.com wrote: The message which indicates that an MGCP call is tearing down is MDCX or DLCX.??

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] CME - GK - UCM bandwidth
The workaround is to change the service parameter for default intra-region codec to g729. You will then obviously need to update your regions for site a b c to use g711 rather than 'default' which is now g729. This bug mentioned above is where a gk send a call to cucm and it doesn't look at the region's setting (where you define a gk region and set to g729 for intra region) but instead only looks at the service parameter.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] CME - GK - UCM bandwidth
The brq parameter does does apply here (ie, won't fix the issue) since a brq is sent after a call is already connected and is requesting a *change* in bandwidth. The initial call setup is done with an arq that contains the initial bandwidth request. If you debug this issue end to end, you will see site 3 router send arq with bandwidth 16 (shown as 160), and gk will send acf to site 3 with be 16. The issue is from the go to cucm, I don't recall if the go arq is asking cucm for 16 or 128, but I know the acf from cucm to go is 128. No where in this call setup is a brq used, and the call is setup at 128k and uses g711. If you have time on your hands, it would certainly be a good exercise to try both service params and debug each...or just save yourself the trouble and use the intra region SVC param :-) On Apr 8, 2013 12:26 PM, Suresh Bhandari bring...@gmail.com wrote: I confirm that I was hitting the bug!

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] CME - GK - UCM bandwidth
...looks like I didn't read you email correctly the first time and you already tried both methods :-) My recommendation (may or may not be the way the lab is graded) is that you should use intra region param. Reason is the grading script might not connect the call or it will only look at debugs for arq. In this case you lose points in the brq method. On the other hand, if a call is setup and the codec is check from the phones, then either method works. I can't think of a reason where you would want to have a diff bw when setting up the call than when connected, and why take the chance of losing points using brq? That said, it wouldn't hurt to use both params, as another question may require you to turn on brq. I would just recommend against *only* enabling brq to answer this question.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] MVA partial match issue
You can have the rd with 7 digits only and without the 9 for pstn access - use either application dial rules (match 7 digits, prefix 9) or a translation pattern to modify the rd to match your existing local route pattern. I'm not sure if there's an MVA bug in this version of cucm, but its pretty easy to configure it so that you always have a full match since you will likely have only one rd. This is what I do for the lab. A real world (for nanp) example of MVA partial match would be using e164 address for all rd (+1 npa-nxx-) and set partial match to 10 or 7 depending on whether all sites receive inbound ani as 10d for local calls or if any sites receives only 7d. This would also work for lab, but takes extra steps if you aren't already required to use + dialing For partial match to work, the rd must be longer than the inbound ani (ani 7d and rd +11d). You cannot use partial match with an ani longer than the rd (ani 10d and rd 7d), in this case your options would be to apply inbound transformation on the gateway to make rd ani shorter (ie match the rd) or make your rd longer and manipulate outbound dnis to make it route.

If seeing 7 digits inbound change your Remote Destination Number to 525, without the 9. If you are seeing 10 digits inbound the NPA, NXX, TNTN change your remote destination number to XXX525, in other words match what you're seeing in the isdn debug for calling party and make that you're Remote Destination Number.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Outgoing Calls via T1 failed
Your debug output has a few clues...but I can't recall offhand if channel 16 in that debug starts at 1 (meaning this is the 16th channel) or 0 (meaning this is the 17th channel). Do inbound calls from pstn work? If yes, its more likely the second option. In the first case, it would appear your issue is on the pstn side. Run show ISDN status and layer 2 should show multiple frame established and layer 3 should show ccm-manager (or similar). If however layer 2 shows tei assigned try the following: Mgcp bind media source lo0 Mgcp bind control source lo0 (Paste those commands twice) Int s0/0/0 No ISDN bind-l3 ccm ISDN bind-l3 ccm No mgcp Mgcp Show ISDN status (Ensure you see multi frame established) Also type show ccm and ensure the gw is registered to your cucm. If not, make sure that your hostname on the router matches what you have in cucm. If you have IP domain-name ipexpert.com in your config then you need to use the fqdn in cucm, such as r3.ipexpert.com. however if you don't have a domain name on the router then you should just have the routers hostname w/o domain such as r3. Now, for the other situation if channel 16 in the debug is really channel 17, that could be caused by using the ccm config command. With this, every time in cucm you reset the mgcp gw it will apply a no mgcp then mgcp and download the config from cucm to the router (and configure a FULL PRI). Ccm config command doesn't work with a fractional PRI, but you could use it to download all the commands, then no ccm config and change the controller commands to use timeslots 1-16 rather than 1-24. (Need to shut voice port, shut int s0/0/0 and no ISDN bind-l3 ccm, shut controller and remove timeslots command, then apply commands in reverse order using fractional timeslots). Not a solution, but just for reference, the default channel order for mgcp PRI is bottom up. If your issue is the latter (ccm config downloaded a full PRI config) and you were set to use ascending channels you would not have seen this issue until the 17th call came from pstn...in real lab you would lose points for having a full PRI I stead of fractional, even if calls did work. The point here is make sure you remove ccm config if you have a fractional PRI. Hope this helps... Justin On Mar 22, 2013 7:36 PM, Bill whl...@gmail.com wrote: Is your gateway registered in CUCM?

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] CCIE Voice Vol1 Task 5.7
A few points to clarify, although it seems the question has already been answered... Route selection uses longest match, however the urgent priority flag allows you to route a call as soon as there is a match on that pattern, and the system will not look for a longer match. (In production use sparingly, typically just used for 911.) Partition order - this ONLY matters when you have two identical matches in two or more partitions. If your LD pattern is in a pt higher in the CSS than the block 900, the urgent priority would still force the match to the block pattern. If you had a route LD and a block LD (with the exact same string) then which ever pt is first will be used. In the event you have both a line CSS and device CSS (ie, in the real world) the pt in the line are listed before the device CSS. In this case you typically would put block pt on the line CSS and your local gw pt on the phone CSS. The exception to this is CTI route point, where device CSS is first and line CSS is second. Two good methods to troubleshoot dial plan: 1. Use dialed number analyzer (DNA) Http://pub IP/DNA 2. Dial from a phone using two methods, overlap and en bloc. Overlap is picking up handset (or speaker button) hearing dial tone and dialing one digit at a time. In this method cucm evaluates digit matches one at a time as you dial. En bloc means all at once and is when you dial the full string of digits while on hook, the you either go off hook or press the dial soft key. With this method cucm is forced to evaluate the entire digit string at once. When troubleshooting a string that should route but doesn't, go off hook and dial slowly, listening for the error tone. The position in the string where you get the error will help you find the issue.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] DHCP WITH ONE POOL USING STATIC MAPPING.
I have used both methods and prefer the TCL shell cli as it saves a few minutes (of clicking through CUCM gui to upload the file). If you don't want to remember that CLI you can reference the origin file directly on the TFTP server (origin file tftp://[pub or sub ip address]/origin.txt) rather than copying down to the router's flash, but this may only save you a few seconds. Just another option to consider. One important note, make sure there is a SPACE in the CIDR notation between the IP and the /24 because it will not work without a space. Between the other elements I use tabs (haven't tried with spaces but that may work) and make sure you keep the header/footer and comment lines in the file.

[OSL | CCIE_Voice] DHCP snooping test results
After playing with DHCP snooping for a while (i.e. pulling my hair out) , I have come up with an additional command that seems to be needed (on the router) if the scenario dictates that snooping needs to remain enabled on the switch. In my case I am using a 3560, not a 3750, and according to a lot of documentation i found the ip dhcp snooping command syntax and functionality varies a bit by switch platform. These results from my 3560 may or may not be identical to the 3750's behavior... If you have had issues of CUCM not assigning DHCP to Site A phones (or assigning to Site B but not Site A), you probably had DHCP snooping enabled on the Site A switch. After successfully breaking Site A DHCP via CUCM I setup the Site A router with local IOS DHCP, and this was broken by snooping as well. So, if CUCM DHCP doesn't work but IOS DHCP does, your issue is more likely to be with the CUCM server (possibly run utils csa disable if you've already verified the config and restarted the DHCP service.) If some sites get CUCM DHCP and others don't, or a site doesn't get any DHCP from CUCM or IOS, it's probably snooping. I would suggest using show commands to quickly see if snooping is enabled (sho run | i snoop), and if you're allowed to disable it that's the easy way - if not, practice reading through these debugs when snooping is interfering and again once you've worked around it. I found references in the solutions for OWLE labs 1 (p17) and 3 (p17) that state you can simply apply ip dhcp snoop trust on the switch ports facing the server (CUCM) and the router (a trunk). In the solutions for lab 3 there was also a test performed with an interface VLAN on the router, but when the DHCP request originates from the phone the behavior is slightly different – it seems that a switch with dhcp snooping enabled will set the giaddr to 0 in the option 82 header, and routers will typically ignore packets with the giaddr set to 0. Applying this command on the router tells it not to drop those packets with giaddr set to 0 as was done by my 3560 (I have not yet tested on a 3750 as I don't have immediate access to one): *Router# ip dhcp relay information trust-all* The following debugs helped identify these issues: *Switch3560# debug ip dhcp snooping packet* *Router# debug ip dhcp snooping packet * Attached is a text file showing relevant configs and commented debugs. I didn't want to put all that text in the email body because no one would want to read that email :-) Does anyone with a 3750 feel like testing this to see if it's relevant on that switch platform as well? Even if it's not required for a 3750 environment, I don't see how applying the command ip dhcp relay information trust-all on the router would break anything, and I'm going to add it to my routine script for Site A CLI.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] [OSL | Automated Alternative Routing]
Yes, AAR is triggered on CAC reporting out of bandwidth. (Side note - the phone will display Network Congestion. Rerouting and this is a service parameter that can be customized, in case that is part of the question requirement.) You are also correct that both phones must be registered to the same CUCM cluster. I don't understand if your last sentence is a question - for some reason that call fails to call by extension - if there is a CSS/PT issue where phone A can't see the DN of phone B, AAR will not kick in. Under normal conditions phone A must be able to call phone B, then when there is no more bandwidth (per CAC) AAR will reroute via PSTN. If the phone B were in SRST mode and the WAN was down, not congested, this would instead use CFUR to reroute. I'll answer question 2 first. A common way to achieve AAR is to use a separate CSS/PT just for AAR, along with an AAR Group assigned to both lines (you can assign AAR group to phones for other reasons, but you *must* put the AAR group on the line/DN). When AAR is triggered (CAC), the called phone B's external number mask will be the new DNIS which should be in E.164 format already, and the calling phone A's AAR-CSS will be used to lookup a route for that DNIS. Simply put a \+.! route pattern in your AAR-PT that routes to the LRG, and the AAR-CSS should contain this AAR-PT. This gets the call to the gateway. If the gateway is MGCP, you may need to manipulate the plan/type to match what the PSTN expects (You may also/instead need to have a \+1.! pattern in AAR-PT in the event your MGCP router's PRI expect a 10 digit DNIS.) For H323 don't do any digit manipulation here, used the gateway to perform all manipulations. Question 1, dial peers needed. If using the strategy above, you might not need any new dial peers. For the MGCP sites there are no dial peers on the router so you are done after CUCM routes the call to the gateway in the proper format. For the H323 sites that need to route the AAR call, the DNIS will be the E.164 number when the call gets to the inbound voip dial peer. If you have an existing outbound pots dial peer that will match this E164 number there is nothing extra to do, your AAR call should be working. (make sure you have the appropriate number of digits and type/plan sent to the PSTN for both ANI and DNIS). If your existing dial peers do not match, you have a few options: 1. you could *use a translation-profile on the inbound voip dial peer *to manipulate the DNIS into something that matches an existing outbound POTS dial peer 1. for example if your DNIS is +1 408 555 1234, you would change the +1 to 91 and you would match the existing long distance outbound dial peer 2. you could *add a new outbound dial peer that will match this DNIS*(optionally putting a translation-profile on this dial peer if you need a specific plan/type) 1. for example if your DNIS is +1 408 555 1234, you can copy your existing long distance dial peer (9+11 digits) and just remove the 9 (leaving 11 digits) 3. A third option (I would recommend you do NOT use this option) would be to use number expansion to manipulate the DNIS between the inbound voip dial peer match and the outbound voip dial peer match - the reason I don't recommend this is because number expansion ALWAYS takes place between the inbound and outbound dial peers even if you don't want it to. This means if you're not careful it could break something else that was already working correctly. For question 3, TEHO - if you use the method above, your TEHO patterns will be not be visible to the AAR-CSS and there will be no conflict between TEHO patterns and the new AAR pattern. If you didn't have an isolated AAR CCS and PT, then it would be problematic if your AAR number in E164 format was matching a TEHO pattern that would send the call over the congested WAN link that trigger AAR in the first place - this obviously would not work. Hope this helps...if it doesn't I'm probably too tired to make sense and I'll edit my response tomorrow :-) -Justin On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 10:04 PM, ie ravindra ieravin...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Mates, As per my understanding AAR is triggering when if CAC enabled and if for some reason that call cannot be completed.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] [OSL | Automated Alternative Routing]
I noticed a typo in that last email (sorry, I clicked send too soon) - in the 3 options for H323 digit manipulation, I said num-exp will be between the inbound voip dial peer and outbound *VOIP *dial peer...*the outbound dial peer is POTS* in this case, not voip.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] [OSL | CCIE_VOICE] Location Based Call Admission Control
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.

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.

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.
