Cisco 6248 Connectivity Limitations

Hello,
I am new to the UCS Fabric Interconnects and am wondering if there are limitations to connecting a Cisco 3925 Gen 2 ISR (desinated Voice Gateway) to a fabric interconnect, specifically a 6248 with the latest version of code. It appears that the FI's support 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation and trunking, which is typically configured in the cisco voice world for any downstream switchport interface to pass Voice, Data, Server VLAN's to the corresponding devices. It also appears that the FI's will support some forms of quality service, like Priority Queing. I have not seen where the FI's support LLQ or CBWFQ. So at the end of the day I would like to know if there are any limitations to connecting a Cisco 3925 Gen 2 ISR to which will be used as a Voice Gateway. I know that typically its best practice to connect to some other switch, but since the FI has the capabilitiy to running in "switched-mode" I didnt know if this would work. Thanks to all that review this as well as thanks in advance to anyone who lends any thoughts

SAN port-channels are not supported between UCS FI and Brocade SAN switches. You will need to use individual links.
Leave the UCS fibre channel in default end-host-mode. This will connect to Brocade in the Access Gateway mode (Cisco's NPIV)

Cisco VPN Connection Problems

Hello Everyone,
We're having a problem with the Cisco VPN connection capability in Snow Leopard.
The transaction complains that our shared secret is incorrect. What I believe is happening is that certain assumptions are made about the IKE proposals and encryption etc. There doesn't appear to be a place to tailor these in the connection profile. There may be at the system level (which I'm unaware of).
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
I believe the same problem applies to the iPhone's Cisco VPN connector.
Furthermore, Cisco is not providing Snow-Leopard IPSec home-to-network clients any longer; they are promoting the AnyConnect SSL VPN instead, for which they have a BETA build available specifically for Snow Leopard.
So this reduces our options (yes, I'm working on VPNTracker).
Thank you.

It is a known limitation that you are only able to establish a single VPN connection to the same VPN server through a router doing NAT like yours.
What client exactly do you use and what settings did you define there?

Updating e4200v2 to CIsco Cloud Connect

I know that Cisco Cloud Connect was released fairly recently. I also know that the e4200v2 was supposed to be a supported router from last generation for Cisco Cloud Connect. However, when I go to the upgrade firmware option on my router settings, it says that I have the most up to date firmware.
How do I get CIsco Cloud Connect setup on my e4200v2? Would I simply follow the manual install instructions for the ea4500 with the firmware for the ea4500?
I'm hoping that the updated firmware will fix an issue I'm having with getting a Seagate Expansion hard drive detected for the media server portion since I know a closely related hard drive was in the list of functioning external hard drives for the Cisco Connect Cloud firmware.
Thanks in advance. I really appreciate any help I can get.

directly update the EA4500 firmware 2.1.38
I have tried it, it works well
But I dont like the ccc, so i downgrade my E4200v2 back to 2.0.37
Me too. I'm going to wait for the CCC bugs to get ironed out and for it to become fully functional. It was not possible to do DHCP address reservation from CCC. The iPhone app presents a dumbed down version of the router interface and is extremely limited. The iPad version is a 2x magnifed version of the iPhone interface.

Cisco unity connection question

Hi all, I dont have subscriber in my test environment but want know what happens with this two scenarios.
Can we add a mailbox in sub when pub is up?
Can you add a mailboxin sub when pub is down?
I am sure that when pub is down we cannot add a mailbox, but want to make sure

Hi Uday,
The Cluster in Unity Connection acts differently than a CUCM cluster, so the answers to your question are;
Yes & Yes
How a Cluster Works in Cisco Unity Connection
Revised May 2009
The Cisco Unity Connection cluster feature provides high availability voice messaging through two Connection servers that are configured in a cluster. Under normal conditions, the Connection servers are both active so that:
•The cluster can be assigned a DNS name that is shared by the Connection servers.
•Clients such as email applications and the web tools available through the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant (PCA) can connect to either Connection server.
•Phone systems can send calls to either Connection server.
•Incoming phone traffic load is balanced between the Connection servers by the phone system, PIMG/TIMG units, or other gateways that are required for the phone system integration.
Each server in the cluster is responsible for handling a share of the incoming calls for the cluster (answering phone calls and taking messages). The server with Primary status is responsible for the following functions:
•Homing and publishing the database and message store, which are both replicated to the other server.
•Sending message notifications and MWI requests (the Connection Notifier service is activated).
•Sending SMTP notifications and VPIM messages (the Connection Message Transfer Agent service is activated).
When one of the servers stops functioning (for example, when it is shut down for maintenance), the remaining server assumes responsibility for handling all incoming calls for the cluster. The remaining server also assumes responsibility for the database and message store, which are both replicated to the other server when the connection and its functionality are restored.
When the server that stopped functioning is able to resume its normal functions and is activated, it resumes responsibility for handling its share of incoming calls for the cluster.
To monitor the status of the servers, the Connection Server Role Manager service runs in Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability on both servers. This service performs the following functions:
•Starts the applicable services on each server, depending on server status.
•Determines whether critical processes (such as voice message processing, database replication, and message store replication) are functioning normally.
•Initiates changes to server status when the server with Primary status is not functioning or when critical services are not running.
Note the following limitations when the publisher server is not functioning:
•If the Connection cluster is integrated with an LDAP directory, directory synchronization does not occur, although authentication continues to work when only the subscriber server is functioning. When the publisher server is functioning again, directory synchronization resumes.
•If a Digital Network includes the Connection cluster, directory updates do not occur, although messages continue to be sent to and from the cluster when only the subscriber server is functioning. When the publisher server is functioning again, directory updates resume.
About the Publisher Server
The first Cisco Unity Connection server that is configured in the cluster is the publisher server. The Cluster Management page in Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability identifies the publisher server.
The publisher server assumes responsibility for publishing the database and message store when the cluster is functioning normally.
When the publisher server does not have Primary status (for example, when the administrator manually changes the status of the other server to Primary, which automatically changes the status of the publisher server to Secondary), the other server assumes responsibility for publishing the database and message store.
The publisher server cannot be removed from the cluster.

Cisco Webex Connect Jabber 7.2.2 History Missing

Running Cisco Webex Connect 7.2.2 on W7 x64.
Anyone run into chat history missing or only showing 1 day of chat when you know that you shoud have weeks and weeks with certain persons? Default is 9999 days. Had someone ask me to start CWC as administrator and set to some other value, like 9998 days. Worked for a while and resurfaced. Other peers having same issue, so I know it is not specific to my machine. Even got new machine recently with same OS and CWC and problem has surfaced on this new machine too.
I saw that the chat is stored in a db3 file. I do find a couple of those on my machine but not sure if the client is buggy or the file truely is missing the chats. Would need a dBase III browser to find out more.
Is there a more current release of CWC 7.2.2 that might have bug fixes in it that relate to chat history being toast?
Would love to hear from others in here including Cisco support.

Joe,
I normally do not monitor this side of the community, but I am active contributor of the Unified Computing Forum, but somehow I happen to come accross your post, so I wanted to take a minute and ask you if you have tried to open a case directly with the team that support Webex?

Cisco Unity Connection 8.6 not getting CLID information from CUCM 8.6

Hello,
Currently Running:
Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.6.2
Cisco Unity Connection 8.6.2
Problem:
when any outside caller leaves a voicemail, the caller number information is not being sent to unity.
example, I call with my cell phone, 817.555.1234 to my Cisco 7940 phone and it shows the CLID information that i am calling with. iDivert to voice mail, Leave a message. Playback message and just the default message information from Cisco Unity.
we currently upgraded from CUCM 6.1.3 and Unity 5. before i could press 9 and get the caller information.
I have viewed the "Playback Message Settings" and selected "After Playing Each Message, Play" and selected Sender's Information. and also selected "Include Extension and Sender's ANI"
upon playing the VoiceMail after the message i get the default message "From Cisco Unity Connection Messaging System"
I also have the message relaying to my E-mail and I get the same in the subject line.
"Message from Cisco Unity Connection Messaging System (Unknown extension)"
This tends to be a big deal with the Sales team as customers will call and say "Call me back"
But any Internal Calls show the correct information, proper greeting, extension information even on the relay to e-mail.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Tim

Found another post that referenced Cisco Bug ID CSCti37610.
CUC plays message is from Unity Connection Messaging system
Symptom:Before message playback, Unity Connection plays the message is from Unity Connection Messaging System instead sender's ANI
Conditions:Problem was observed on Unity Connection cluster and appropriate services are not rebooted after changing the SMTP domain name
Workaround:
Restart the Unity Connection servers
It should have been fixed in 8.5 but we did change the SMTP domain name on 8.6 and now see the problem. Will schedule a reboot and see if the issue goes away.

Tks Manish, I just perform a restart on the both nodes on my CUC cluster and after that I did can install this upgrade patch.
Also is very important install the upgrade patch on all servers of the cluster before perform a switch-version on the publisher and then on the others nodes.
Best Regards,

Cisco Unity Connection 8.5.1 SU3 to 8.5.1 SU6 & Upgrade to 9.1.2

Two questions !
Firstly - I am upgrading to the latest patch level as I want to upgrade the systems to 9.1.X
I am installing UCSInstall_UCOS_8.5.1.16900-6.sgn.iso onto the inactive partition on the publisher then onto the inactive partition on the subscriber.
Then I plan to switch versions out of hours.
Question - will messages / data that has happened between the installation on the inactive partition and the switch version be preserved ??
So if I install onto the inactive partition at 1pm, then an important message is left at 2pm and I switch version at 3pm, does the iimportant message exist on the active partition at the end ??
Second question -
I have UCCX-8.5.1 SU4 (HA), CUC 8.5.1 SU6 (HA) and CUCM 8.5.1 SU6 (1 pub, 2 sub) - so 7 VM's in total.
If I want to migrate to -
UCSInstall_UCOS_9.1.2.12900-11.sgn.iso & UCSInstall_UCCX_9_0_2_UCOS_9.0.2.11002-27.sgn.iso
in which order should the installations take place ?? CUCM Publisher last ?? Publisher first ??
Thanks
James

Hi James,
+5 to my friend Aman for his good tips here
Messages are preserved during the "switch-version" so the messages left before the command is run will be preserved as they are stored in a "common" partition;
Switching to the Upgraded Version of Connection 8.x Software
If you chose not to automatically switch to the upgraded partition at the end of the upgrade, do the following procedure when you are ready to switch partitions.
To Switch to the Upgraded Version of Connection 8.x Software
Step 1 If you do not have a recent backup, back up the server by using the Disaster Recovery System. For more information, see the Disaster Recovery System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x athttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/drs_administration/guide/8xcucdrsag.html.
Step 2 Sign in to Cisco Unified Operating System Administration.
Step 3 From the Settings menu, select Version.
Step 4 On the Version Settings page, select Switch Versions, and the following occurs:
•Connection services are stopped.
•Data from the partition where the older version is installed is copied to the partition where the newer version is installed. If changes to the database schema require updates to the format of data, that occurs in this step. Note that messages are stored in a common partition, so they are not copied.
•The Connection server restarts and switches to the newer version.
Note You can check the status of the installation of the upgrade software by using the CLI command show cuc version. The upgrade is complete when the inactive partition has the upgraded software and the active partition has the old software.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/upgrade/guide/8xcucrugx/8xcucrug009.html#wp1056720
The upgrade order is shown here (above link) as well, which is Pub followed by Sub;

Cisco Any Connect: Works fine but can't download file

Hello! Here's my question:
I search for documents in a database over a remote vpn using Cisco Any Connect. Works fine. I receive a result, a list of documents that meet my criteria. I can either export to my PC or open. If I try to export, I get a prompt asking where I would like to place the file. I select the place (my desktop) and the window hangs after about 10% on the progress bar. If I try to open the document, a window opens but hangs.
Is there any way to resolve this, is the problem on my end of the remote vpn? Is this an Any Connect issue?
FYI: I am using IE8. I am using a Microsoft Windows Essentials firewall. (I was using Norton before this, same issue.) I have also tried “Display All Websites in Compability View” option in IE but no difference. The tool I am using is Documentum.
Thanks,
Mike

One thing you should do is get rid of that Westell modem from verizon. Its junk. I replaced it with a DLink DSL modem and internet is faster. Not that this suggestion solves your problem.

Connection limits questions.

Hi all.
i got a crahed 5520 this week and was showing
<163>Nov 28 2011 11:34:45: %ASA-3-201013: Per-client connection limit exceeded -125/100
What the negative number tells ? i usually see same numbers like 100/100 with means the connection limited has reached.
also the box was showing
<163>Nov 28 2011 19:51:17: %ASA-3-210007: LU allocate xlate failed
<161>Nov 28 2011 17:50:44: %ASA-1-105005: (Primary) Lost Failover communications with mate on interface OUTSIDE
from the last 2 log messages its showing that the box was out of resources correct ?
Thanks.

The negative numbers reading is caused by a bug. Please see "CSCtl23397 - ASA may log negative values for Per-client conn limit exceeded messg".
The 210007 message is indicating stateful failover is out of resources. See this explanation.
Overall it appears your boxes may be pushing the limit of their capabilities connection-wise. Some further investigation would be required to determine whether that was a one-time event or indicative of a need to upgrade (memory or device).

Issue on Cisco Unity Connection after performing 'utils ntp restart'

Hello everybody.
There's a client with Cisco Unity Connection 8.5.1.10000-206. After doing a 'utils ntp restart', the following message showed up:
Communication is not functioning correctly between the servers in the Cisco Unity Connection cluster. To review server status for the cluster, go to the Tools > Cluster Management page of Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability.
The client states that there was no service for 5 minutes and wants to know if performing this task shoud be disruptive or not and if there is any official document from Cisco stating this.
See SrvConnUnity_1.jpg sent by the client after performing the ntp restart.
Right now the service is normal (see SrvConnUnity_2.jpg attached). The client also sent a 'utils ntp
status':
admin:utils ntp status

Hello Patricio,
On the command line guide you won't see any downtime requirements for the Unity Connection server:
Command Line Interface Reference Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Solutions Release 8.5(1)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/cli_ref/8_5_1/cli_ref_851.html
Utils ntp restart
This command restarts the NTP service.
Command syntax
utils ntp restart
Parameters
None
Requirements
Command privilege level: 0
Allowed during upgrade: Yes
Also on the caveats i do not see any particular mention for this: (Caveats could be found applicable to CUC)
Release Notes for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.5(1)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/rel_notes/8_5_1/cucm-rel_notes-851.html
Breaking up the output of the "utils ntp status" there are are two considerations:
admin:utils ntp status
ntpd (pid 10899) is running...
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset jitter
==============================================================================
*127.127.1.0     LOCAL(0)        10 l   16   64 377    0.000    0.000   0.002
First, you are using the ip address 127.127.1.0 which is the referenced used for the local system clock, the asterisc means is the preferred option as there is no other IP available. This is not a good practice and not recommended.
Secondly the stratum is unreliable, meaning too high to reach or too low to be accepted by Unity Connection.
If you would happen to run 'utils diagnose test' you would have probably seen an output as the following example below:
admin:utils diagnose test
Log file: platform/log/diag1.log
Starting diagnostic test(s)
===========================
test - disk_space          : Passed (available: 25680 MB, used: 7849 MB)

test - ntp_stratum         : Failed
The reference NTP server is a stratum 11 clock.
NTP servers with stratum 5 or worse clocks are deemed unreliable.
Please consider using an NTP server with better stratum level.
Please use OS Admin GUI to add/delete NTP servers.
skip - sdl_fragmentation   : This module must be run directly and off hours
skip - sdi_fragmentation   : This module must be run directly and off hours
test - ipv6_networking     : Passed
And on the RTMT (Real Time Monitoring Tool) you would have seen a Critical event:
Condition:
The best external NTP server, , is stratum , which is unacceptably high. External NTP servers must be <= strata 8 and should be <= strata 5. NTP server strata can be verified using the CLI 'utils ntp status' command ('st' column). Try using different NTP servers.
Problem cause:
All specified external NTP server(s) have unacceptably high stratum values. Network issues exist or the designated servers have unreliable stratum values.
Information is self explanatory and therefore reassures the need of having a NTP different from the server itself.
By the snippet you sent we can know that it is the publisher server, as the Subscriber polls this information from the Publisher.
Installing the Operating System and Cisco Unity Connection 8.x
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/installation/guide/8xcucig020.html
"Cisco recommends that you use an external NTP server to ensure accurate system time on the publisher server. Ensure the external NTP server is stratum 9 or higher (meaning stratums 1-9). The subscriber server will get its time from the publisher server"
Documentation also reaffirms the need for that NTP to be accessible otherwise your system can be degraded. Some addtional information which would be interesting to know is:
- Why did they had to restart the NTP in the first place?
System Requirements for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/requirements/8xcucsysreqs.html
"A network time protocol (NTP) server must be accessible to the Connection server"
On the Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability> Tools> CLuster Management screen shot you sent i see that the ports were "Not Available" and that the customer stated "there was no service for 5 minutes".
By no service did they mean that over the phone they heard a disconnected tone or a failsafe message?
Additionaly after the servers resolved from SBR the Subscriber never recovered entirely as it did not start the Conversation Manager service.
Bottom line if they are able to reproduce it then it would be worth a while checking with TAC

Cisco Unity Connection not relaying voicemails outside the organization

Hi all, we are running Cisco Unity Connection version: 8.6.2ES25.21900-25. It has been set up to accept voicemails for Exchange 2010 users (in other words email messages with WAV attachments) and deliver these to their inboxes; this works with no problem.
I have two users who would like to receive these emails at their outside account, however the messages are never sent. I have tried the following:
Changed the users corporate email addresses from "[email protected]" to "[email protected]"
Unchecked the option to "Generate SMTP Proxy Address From Corporate Email Address."
On the "Message Actions" page for their account I have configured voicemail and email to "Relay the message" and entered their external SMTP addresses.
Confirmed the smart host setup is OK (points to our Exchange 2010 CAS which has firewall rules in place to permit it to send mail outside the organization.
Confirmed the Exchange 2010 CAS will accept SMTP messages from the subnet the Unity Connection server resides in.
If I switch the user SMTP settings BACK to their original internal SMTP addresses for my company the messages are then immediately delivered properly to these addresses. This signifies to me that Unity is periodically trying to send these items but they just aren't going out. No sign of the messages in any user report I ran in Unity nor message tracking in Exchange.
I also tried setting up an Outlook rule to forward these voicemail messages to the recipients external addresses but this did not work and after doing some research I see that the way in which Unity delivers the messages to these recipients internally (via EWS) is the reason why. I wonder if this is the same reason these are not going out to their external SMTP addresses.
Thanks for any assistance provided!

Look at the transfer options for that particular user and make sure it's set to ring the phone, that configuration is PER user.

What hardware is required to activate application like Cisco Unity Connection ?

Please I need your help,
What hardware is required to activate application like Cisco Unity® Connection ?
Thank you

In addition to great reply (+5), basically this is similar to CUCM which you need to have in order to run Unity Connection (or you could have CME). So, if you have CUCM running it will be very similar concept. If this is new install you want to definitely go the virtual path.

Bluetooth Serial and Cisco Console connections?

This may be the wrong forum for this, but network management was the closest fit i could find...
(First off, I agree that console connections are not preferred, SSH, HTTPS, SNMP all have their advantages, but when something goes down or stops responding to normal methods the amount of time and frustration that can be saved by not having to search for "that one laptop that has a serial port" or "my specific laptop that has the USB-Serial driver installed" is invaluable.)
With the proliferation of tablet devices (ipad, cius, samsung's proposed, etc.), add to it a serious lack of serial ports on most laptops/netbooks/etc being released. It's getting harder and harder to connect to console ports on cisco devices. USB to serial adapters fit the bill for now, provided you had the right drivers to run the adapter on your device (read: doesn't address tablets and smartphones).
I understand that the cisco console connection is considered "legacy" and that USB connections are becoming more popular with newer Cisco devices, but in the meantime it would be nice to manage my slice of the millions of "legacy" devices out there.
Bluetooth serial seems to hold promise, though the serial features of bluetooth aren't typically incorporated into most devices right now. What i guess I'm looking for is a way to manage my router and switch console ports from a smart phone or tablet device.
Has anyone seen anything like this out there right now?
I would think that Cisco would be interested in marketing such a feature with their new Cius, or an iPod or Android app. Even if it cost a couple of bucks for the adapter or the software, it would be well worth it to be able manage these devices in a pinch.
Thanks to anyone that can help!

I agree, it wold be handy to have.
One thing some of us use is iSSH on the iPhone or iPad. Straight across the in-house wi-fi LAN if there's a working one in house or via the VPN tunnel if not. The use cases of no w-fi, no VPN or an unresponsive box are still not addressed by that solution though.

Setting connection limits

Sorry, but can't seem to locate how to do the following on FMS 3.5.
I have multiple applications, and need to set different connection limits for each of them - e.g., 10, 35, etc.
I'm only concerned with limiting RTMP connections, and not using Apache or http streaming.
Could somebody please shed some light?

Assuming you're using FMIS.... In your main.asc:
application.maxConnections = 35;
application.onConnect = function(client){
if(application.clients.length >= application.maxConnections){
application.rejectConnection(client);
I have no idea how to limit connections on FMSS... I don't know if you can do it at the application level.
