Setting up a Cisco Voice Lab Part 1 – CUCM and VMWare
Posted by: | CommentsI have recently passed the CCVP qualification and I think it would be useful to pass on some of the methods I used for setting up a home CCVP lab. The CCVP is one certification were just using books and study materials isn’t really an option. You really have to get some hands on experience. Not everyone will have the luxury of working in a Cisco VoIP/IPT environment or be able to go on the commercial CCVP courses. It is still possible to get some hands on experience by setting up a small home lab however. Read More→

Cisco CMM for Catalyst 6500
Posted by: | CommentsI had the chance earlier today to look at the Cisco Communication Media Module for a Cisco Catalyst 6500. The module is used as a gateway in a Call Manager 4 cluster. The module takes up one module slot in the Catalyst 6500 and, depending on the particular module you need, it can come with either 6 E1 or T1 ports.
It’s the first time I’ve used this particular module but setting it up as an MGCP gateway is no different from setting up any other MGCP gateway. First of all to access the CMM module you use the session command from enable mode.
6509#session slot 8 processor 0 The default escape character is Ctrl-^, then x. You can also type 'exit' at the remote prompt to end the session Trying 127.0.0.80 ... Open

The voice module is configured through IOS commands just the same as any other Cisco voice modules or cards. However, in this particular setup the endpoint configuration is controlled via Call Manager via MGCP.
To set up the CMM as an MGCP gateway to be controlled by Call Manager you need to issue the two following commands:
ccm-manager config server call_manager_ip_address ccm-manager config
You can now add this gateway into Call Manager and start configuring the endpoints (or E1 ports) on the device from there. It’s a fairly straightfoward excercise. Just make sure you use the same name in the Call Manager configuration as you have given your gateway. Read More→
