not that I enjoy the vCentre web client anyway, but if your unfortunate enough to have 6.5 and you really need to deploy a 2.7 or 2.8 CWMS cluster, what are the options? There must be some workaround surely? Moving to 3.0 isn't an option for me at the moment. ... View more

Hi, I have a number of 3702i AP's that are all capwap back to a 5760 controller. We have setup a new SSID for some equipment that needs to connect to other equipment on the same SSID, this SSID goes onto a dedicated vlan, there is no layer 3 interface as this is not required. The clients I have connect to the SSID, are configured with a static IP address and can ping each other when connected to the WLAN. The WLC and the Network switch see both clients in their mac-address tables. The issue is that the clients need to communicate with each other using a layer 2 broadcast, and it seems that this is not working. I've also put my laptop on the same SSID and running wireshark, and I also don't see any of the layer 2 broadcasts. How do I enable the WLC to allow this layer 2 traffic for this SSID. Really struggling here so any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advanced. ... View more

Hi, I have a need two change the dns name that my cucm and imp servers are in. So I am changing ALL servers in the 10.5(1) cluster from hostname.old_domain to hostname.new_domain I have read and followed the guide for performing the domain name change from CLI, however I am unclear as to when in the process I should update the Server name from CUCM Admin (System>Server) as at present this is the FQDN of the server using the old hostname.   I understand that after changing each server you need to reboot that server and then all other servers in the cluster sequentially, but where to change to CUCM server setting is unclear.   Do I.. Option A. 1. Change server DNS suffix from CLI 2. Update FQDN of Server in System>Server 3. Reboot all nodes Option B. 1. Change server DNS suffix from CLI 2. Reboot all nodes 3. Update FQDN of Server in System>Server Option C. Something else. I tried this on 1 node in the cluster (12 servers, 1 pub, 6 sub, 2 tftp, 3 imp) using the imp publisher last night using option B but it didn't feel right as I had to then reboot the imp publisher after updating it's FQDN in System>Server. Any advice much appreciated.   ... View more

Getting very stuck and frustrated with some testing of a new PSTN SIP trunk to replace a large estate of E1's. Hopefully someone far cleverer than me in all things MGR's related can help! I'am having real trouble getting the SIP trunks to invoke a transcoder and have some MOH issues also which may be related.   The setup for testing... SIP trunks to telco, have followed their CUCM config guide, early offer - mandatory (insert MTP if needed) and have adjusted some timers Some IP phones in different regions. Voice calls G729 and region for Faxing G711 MoH from a CUCM server Hardware universal transcoder on a 2951 router 3 x Software MTP's (1 for 711a, 711u and g729) on the same 2951 router Have the SIP trunk in a MRGL containing the 5 MRG's, one for each resource mentioned above For testing, have put the phones in the same MRGL as the SIP trunk.   What works... Can make calls out to PSTN from IP phones and the codec negotiates to G711 or G729 depending on your phone or fax region Inbound calls (from most) sources do the same. Telco offer 729 and 711a and 711u so we can do inbound faxing Can, in the main, place calls on hold, resume, transfer etc   The issues... 1. There is one upstream partner of the telco who only offer G711 codec, my telco then just pass that codec list. If from this provider I call my G711 test phone the call connects no problem. However I cannot get calls into anything on the G729 region. Wiresharking the SIP trunk to the telco I see the call offer (with only g711) and CUCM sends back a 503 message, telco then retries another trunk (we have multiple telco trunks to different cucm subs) and the same thing before the call fails. It is at this point that I should be invoking my transcoder, so the telco can offer the call in as G711 and I transcode it to become G729 for my phones to work. For some reason, perhaps my own blindness, I cannot get this working. If I offer the same transcoder to another internal resource it works OK so I know the transcoder itself is good. 2. Music on Hold. If for either an inbound or outbound call I place the call on hold I get no MoH at all from CUCM. Looking at the wireshark I see RTP media coming from my MoH server out towards the telco proxies.What makes matters worse, is that for an inbound call after the call is on hold for 15/20 seconds the telco send a bye and drop the call off. However for an outbound call I can place a call to the pstn and leave them on hold (in silence) for as long as needed. I have tried setting MOH service parameters for  G729 and G711u/a with no luck   Just to give an overview of the topology. I have a ASA firewall between my network and the telco, this is allowing all media ports from my endpoints so there is no SIP inspection happening. There is no cube, the telco provide me two proxies in their network that all my signalling and RTP media goes to/from No slow links, QoS trusted end to end, all routing OK MTP config (sccp groups excluded) dspfarm profile 4 transcode universal  description Hardware Transcoder  codec g729abr8  codec g729ar8  codec g711alaw  codec g711ulaw  codec pass-through  codec g729br8  codec g729r8  maximum sessions 51  associate application SCCP ! dspfarm profile 1 mtp  description Soft MTP - G.711ulaw  codec g711ulaw  codec pass-through  maximum sessions software 100  associate application SCCP ! dspfarm profile 2 mtp  description Soft MTP - G.711alaw  codec pass-through  codec g711alaw  maximum sessions software 100  associate application SCCP ! dspfarm profile 3 mtp  description Soft MTP - G.729a  codec g729ar8  maximum sessions software 200  associate application SCCP     Any help gratefully received.   Jon ...

Hi, I want to add a smtp host to my im&p server so I can get notifications of certificate expiry. When I try to do this on the publisher I get a message that this will effect the license mac. Given that I did not install any licences on the im&p server and the cucm publisher points to a standalone ELM server, can I make this change without any worry of re-issuing licences? Many Thanks Jon ... View more
