Re: CME 8.0 / ISR2821 / Basic Configuration

RalphSmithIII · ‎03-16-2012

Hi everyone,

I have what I feel like is a basic issue that for some reason or another I can't solve today. I have an ISR 2821 router running CME 8.0 and what I'm trying to do is get one phone to register with it. The part I'm having an issue with is that yesterday I configured the router and the phone registered with no issues, using a bare/basic configuration. I'm talking no VLANs, isolated network type basic setup; one router, one switch, one IP phone and that's it. The phones I've tried registering (yesterday successfully) are 7940, 7960, 7970.

I'm sure or at least hoping I'm just having a brain fart and I'm missing something completely obvious. I didn't need to add any additional commands before (particulary any loads or tftp flash:/ commands) and everything was fine. I'm having this issue on this 2821 today because I erased my config that was working and started over due to having an identical set setup and not being able to get that phone to register to its CME either. I thought maybe there was an issue with a file missing in flash or something related.

I did turn on auto-reg-ephone instead of statically mapping the mac address, which also worked fine before. Any suggestions? I DO know that its trying to find the SEP<mac_address).cnf.xml file and it can't but I "assumed" it would default to the default XML.cnf file in flash, which based on the status messages on the phone and a quick debug tftp events command showed.

Configure SCCP to enable it like this:

sccp local GigabitEthernet2/0

sccp ccm 10.21.0.1 identifier 1 version 7.0

sccp

Also will be good if you will place firmware updates for phones:

tftp-server flash0:SCCP11.8-4-2S.loads

tftp-server flash0:SCCP31.8-4-2S.loads

tftp-server flash0:SCCP41.8-4-2S.loads

Thank you for the fast reply, and I will certaintly try your suggestion but I shouldn't need to use any of that configuration to get the phones to register, that registered yesterday. My only logical reason for that is because I didn't use any of your suggested commands and it registered fine. I feel like I'm missing something real obvious yet I can't nail it down.

AlykhovEV · ‎03-16-2012

You must have this commands in basic configuration (example):

interface GigabitEthernet0/0

ip address 10.21.0.1 255.255.128.0

h323-gateway voip interface

h323-gateway voip bind srcaddr 10.21.0.1

Again thanks for the reply but I'm not quite sure if you've even read my original post. What you are posting has nothing to do with my original post or situation. I am simply trying to get 1 Cisco IP phone to register with CME 8.0 running on a ISR 2821 router.

Only thing cabled together are:

ISR Gi0/0 to 3560 on FA0/1

Cisco IP Phone 7940 or 7960 to 3560 on FA0/2

That's it.

heathrw · ‎03-16-2012

Your config has a line config "ephone-dn" but you need he ephone command add the Mac address an the type (model) and add the button 1:x where x is the ephone-dn x in your config.

RalphSmithIII · ‎03-17-2012

I do not believe these commands are needed if I am using auto registration, however, I went ahead and turned off auto-reg-ephone and added the commands.

Here is my output:

VoiceR2#sh ephone

Hi Ralph,

The configuration posted did not reflect auto registration enabled or have an extension range, could have been chopped off.

From what I can see if you have the basic telephony service, dhcp, ephone and ephone-dn and your handsets are running SCCP you should get basic registration.

If you have physical access to your router, erase the config (or remove ALL the VOIP components) apply your IP addressing, routing etc (everything except voip) then run the 'telephony-service setup' command from global configuration this will run you through the voip setup wizard (and from memory will do the DHCP also) with auto registration enabled.

Also check out the Unified CM admin guide.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/admin/configuration/guide/cmeadm.html

RalphSmithIII · ‎03-18-2012

Thanks for the suggestion Heath. Unfortunatlely with the version of code I'm running the setup command is deprecated. I'm starting to wonder if theres an issue with the file location and how the flash memory is setup on these routers. I had to format one of the flash memory cards before, but I can't imagine it would change how CME locates the files it needs.

When I copied over the full CME file suite, I extracted the .tar file into flash, and I'm wondering if it needed to be extracted into system, if there's a difference. Regardless, I should be able to tell the router where to look for the files it needs via command-line by using the tftp-server:(location) command.

It's killing me because I've had both of these routers register the same phones before yet I can't get either one to work now. I'll take your advice and wipe them completely clean again, then start from scratch and see what happens. It's my understanding that auto registration is enabled by default, but I still issued the command under telephony-servce: auto-reg-ephone.

I've even hardcoded one of the phones via mac-address and still have nothing.

No, these commands are not needed.

RalphSmithIII · ‎03-17-2012

Interesting enough, I have issued the commands:

telephony-service

ip source-address

yet I am not seeing the SEPDEFAULT.cnf or XMLDefault.cnf.xml in flash.

Does anyone know why that is?

RalphSmithIII · ‎03-17-2012

And I answer that question. The SEP and XML Default files are located in /its/vrfi and not simply in flash:/

Could that be my issue as to why the phones won't register? Are these files needed for the registration process to happen?

paolo bevilacqua · ‎03-18-2012

They can be located in either place depending on configuration of "cnf-file location". Flash makes a faster star on router reaload, and other advantages.

They are needed and you can take "debug tftp events" with "term mon" to see phones pulling them.

RalphSmithIII · ‎03-20-2012

I'm not 100% sure what I added to get the phones to register, and I'll be going back over my config and slowly removing commands until I nail it down but this config works for now.

Remember, I was only having an issue with REGISTRATION, not dial-peers, routing, etc. I can now place calls from one network to the other. Before, I couldn't get a single IP phone to even register.

Basically, I added the:

voice register global

mode cme

load 7960-7940 P0S3-07-5-00

create profile sync 0001561428275555

and

auto assign 1 to 20
