CH 4 CME Administration REVIEW

Question 1

Managing CME using CLI

Answer 1

Most troubleshooting happens via CLI not GUI. To access the CLI of hte CME router, use one of these 3 methods:

1. Console port - cable router console port to PC console port using rollover cable.
2. Telnet Acces
3. SSH

Question 2

New Prompt( telephone-service)

Answer 2

• To support a majority of the VoIP config – Cisco developed a telephony-service configuration mode.
• You can access this mode from global config mode.
  
  • Router(config)#telephony-service
  • Router(config-telephony)#
• The dial-peer command – used outside the telephony-service config mode, is used for logical configuration to define dial plan information on a Cisco router.

Question 3

Managing CME using the GUI

Answer 3

Two primary tools are used today for the GUI management option:

1. CME GUI
2. CCP

Question 4

CME GUI

Answer 4

The integrated CME GUI is powered by HTML and JAR (Java) files loaded into the flash of the CME router.

• Typically, the CME router ships with these files preloaded by Cisco into the flash; however, you can also Download the appropriate cme-gui-x.x.x.tar file to a TFTP server, substituting the Cisco CME release you’re using for x.x.x. (verify #dir flash:)
• From the Cisco website, extract the files into the flash of the router. Enter the archive command to extract the contents of the .tar file to the router’s Flash memory.
  
  • router#archive tar /xtract tftp://ip-address/cme-gui-x.x.x.tar flash:
  • For example, to extract the contents of cme-gui-3.0.3.tar from the TFTP server at IP address 192.168.1.1 to the router’s Flash, enter the following command:

router#archive tar /xtract tftp://192.168.1.1/cme-gui-3.0.3.tar flash:
* It is functional, which enables you to handle most core functions of CME: adding/changing phone configurations, modifying the dial-plan, configuring hunt groups.

   router#archive tar /xtract tftp://ip-address/cme-gui-x.x.x.tar flash:

   For example, to extract the contents of cme-gui-3.0.3.tar from the TFTP server at IP address 192.168.1.1 to the      router's Flash, enter the following command:

router#archive tar /xtract tftp://192.168.1.1/cme-gui-3.0.3.tar flash

Question 5

CCP

Answer 5

Use the CCP to configure all major aspects of the CME router.

• It enables simple (and often wizard-based) configuration of the router, firewall, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Virtual Private Network (VPN), Unified Communications, and common WAN and LAN features and configurations.
• You can download the latest version of the CCP software from the Cisco website free of charge.
• After you install it on your local PC, you can manage any supported Cisco platform using the utility. (You do not need to install anything on the managed devices.)

Question 6

CCP Express

Answer 6

• Cisco created Cisco Configuration Professional Express (CCP Express) which is a similar GUI utility that is loaded into the flash of the router.
• CCP Express only focuses on configuration basic LAN/WAN connections, firewall, and NAT.
• It is not able to configure Unified Communications features.

Question 7

Navitgating CCP

Answer 7

Before you can add a device to the New Community, you must config it with these four things:

1. Reachable IP address – router int f0/1 is assigned 192.168.1.1
2. Level-15 Username and Password – use this admin account to manage the CME router.
   
   • Router(config)#username admin privilege 15 secret adminpass
3. Integrated HTTP services – enable http services so that CCP utility can discover the CME router.
   
   • Router(config)#ip http server
   • Router(config)#ip http secure-server
   • Router(config)#ip http authentication local
4. Local authentication for Telnet/SSH
   
   • Router(config)#enable secret cisco1234
   • Router(config)#line vty 0 4
   • Router(config-line)#login local
   • Router(config-line)#transport input telnet ssh
