Hi niterid3r ,   The method you proposed is working and one of the BEST way to validate the security password of the system. I just want to add some test results as an evidence. I have personally tested this on my lab and also in the customer Environment.   *****   This method is only for VALIDATING THE SECURITY PASSWORD. (i.e) The customer knows his security password but was unsure of whether it is correct or wrong   ******   CUCM Version : 10.5.2.12900-14   Publisher CLI  =================================== login as:   cucmadmin cucmadmin@10.106.102.70's password: Command Line Interface is starting up, please wait ...

Hi Fabian ,   This was really an excellent job. Kudos for your great work.   I had some doubt in HW-MTP configuration mentioned in this article. Wont HW-MTP Configuration starts like the below one ?   # dspfarm profile 4 mtp   In the above configuration , you have mentioned it as transcoder. And I ran the below commands to configure HW-MTP. Please review it and correct me if I'm wrong.   # dspfarm profile 4 mtp # codec pass-through # codec g711ulaw # maximum sessions hardware 2 # maximum sessions software 2 # associate application sccp # no shutdown   # sccp ccm group 1 # associate profile 4 register HW-MTP   #no sccp #sccp   And also please tell me why only two of the above mentioned codecs are allowed. When I try to add other codecs , I'm getting the following error.   " Codec is already configured for the profile, it is not compatible with codec being configured for MTP service"   Your assistance in the above topic is much required. And Thanks for this wonderful article.     ... View more

Hi Friend ,   The following command can be executed in CUCM CLI to know the " STATUS OF THE PORT " in our CUCM Server which is of importance.   # show open ports regexp <PORT NUMBER>  * PORT NUMBER = Replace it with the PORT NUMBER of your interest.   Example : I had a CUCM DB Replication issue.So as part of troubleshooting, I need to check whether the PORT 8500 ( Port for DB Replication ) is OPENED / CLOSED . So I ran the following command and got the appropriate output. ************************************************************************** admin:show open ports regexp 8500 Executing.. please wait. clm 22712 root 6u IPv4 662221 0t0 UDP *:8500 clm 22712 root 7u IPv4 662222 0t0 TCP *:8500 (LISTEN) clm 22712 root 10u IPv4 183481931 0t0 TCP 10.106.102.70:8500->10.106.102.71:40657 (ESTABLISHED) clm 22712 root 11u IPv4 183485707 0t0 TCP 10.106.102.70:8500->10.106.102.72:47472 (ESTABLISHED) *************************************************************************** Hope this might help.
