Secondary Site SRST over MPLS
My company has IPT in our HQ. We have a secondary mfg location in the next town that is connected via a point-2-point T1, and we run VoIP over it. We have a PRI for PSTN access at the HQ. The 2nd location had POTS access until someone canceled them feeling they were unnecessary (pros and cons for that) At both locations we have SRST on a 1760-V.
Our location in CA (HQ is in WI) currently has its own PBX which is dying. I wish to roll out VoIP to it over MPLS, which I would then replace the P2P T1 and put it in the MPLS cloud too. I plan NOT to add a voice gateway at the CA location and just put a switch out there and route all calls through WI (Leaving a POTS line for fax and 911).
Management only worry is if the phones go out at the HQ, CA will be stranded. I said SRST would kick in and maintain call processing, until the batteries ran out. Only THEN everything would be down. (The other scenario would be the HQ building is compromised somehow).
Is it possible if a DR plan is in place that if an extended power loss occurs, or the HQ building is destroyed, that call routing could be established through our secondary location; since everything is connected via MPLS? I know POTS lines would need to be reestablished, but could the second WI location run SRST for the CA site?
I am not asking how to do it, just if it is possible down the road some time. This could sell the plan to management if it is possible.

How to provied Redundancy for VRF MGMT with help of BGP over MPLS(MPBGP)
Hi,
Please find the Network Topology.
This is One Remote site and mamaged by Mgmt office.
All devices on remote site is accessed by MGMT Office. My organisation seek for Redundancy for Managing devices.
My administration is from MGW to R1. I am new to MPLS.
AS u can see in diagram, R1 have 3 VRF(Voice,Signal and MGMT).Currently i have primary link over whitch we are running MPBGP.
Traffic from these VRF goes to this primary link. Currently Secondary link is not connected.
Now my organisation proposed for the secondary link and they want that only traffic from VRF -- MGMT should go through MPLS RTR R2 (the secondary link ) , when the mgmt routes not learned from MPLS RTR R1 (Connected to the SP1 ).
Current R1 config
There is IBGP betweem R1 to both MPLS RTR.

on Which address-familiy nbr,should i apply, is it in VPNV4 or IPV4 or IPV4 VRF ?
if i want 10.36.128.0/26 prefix should go to Neigbhor MPLS R2, what should i use access-list or Prefix list?
please provide the reply with its config .
thanks in advance,

SCCM Console on Secondary Site 2012 R2
Hi all,
I just want to ask whether it is supported or not when install SCCM Console on Secondary Site Server in 2012 R2? I've searched over internet but does not find a conclusion about that.
From technet SCCM Console requirement and interoperability, there is no information that restrict install console from Secondary Site Server, but this link say it is not supported:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/7c31b2d6-130c-46d6-b24d-108110cb0b61/install-sccm-admin-console-on-secondary-site-servers-failed-on-one-of-two-server?forum=configmgradminconsole
Has anyone try this, because today i installed console from one of my secondary site server and successfully connected with the primary site. Hope that does not break anything because with the ability of RBAC in 2012 R2, i can assign the admin at branch
site permission he need to manage the clients in this secondary site.
Thanks,I've seen it working with multiple customer. Also, I can imagine that it wouldn't be a supported scenario, purely because it's not tested (both new installations as upgrades).
As, I'm not working for Microsoft and it's not documented, I can't give you any official statements.

SCCM 2012 Secondary site Client Communication for SUP
Hi,
We have an SCCM 2012 Setup and here is the design CAS-->Primary-->Secondary site servers.
SUP is configured for Secondary site too. Boundaries are defined with IP Address Range and is proper.
Some clients are comminicating to Secondary site for updates. Downloading successfully and installing the software.
But some of the clients are communicating to primary site for updates and retain with the status "Downloading update"
I have checked the locationservices.log and it is fluctuating between Primary and secondary MP.

my query is how some of the clients are communicating primary site server for updates even though the boundary details are properly configured and Secondary site is configured with sup. Also need to know (as per the log "DataTransferService.log")how
come the clients are communicating SSL port for updates. Plz help in resolving the issue.Hi Kent,
Thanks for the reply.
Primary and secondary sites are connected over WAN and we have around 2000 clients which are reporting to Secondary site.
Considering the WAN bandwidth utiliztaion and number of clients on secondary site we have configured the SUP role.
Not all the clients are with the above error message around 40%-50% of the clients are with above stated error message.
Plz let me know what is the error message indicates and do we need to reffer any other logs for indepth analysis.
Locationservices.log is with fluctuating connectivity

Adding Secondary Site SCCM2012
I have a Primary Site Setup with general roles and Distribution Point roles, Reporting services, Software Update point.
Now we have added an another site and need to set up one more site server at site-2.
I need to distribute the software updates of site-2 clients using the new sccm-2 server located in Site-2 by having an Distribution in site-2.
what all the additional roles needs to be setup in site-2.
do I need to install WSUS in site-2 sccm server to push software updates?
And prior installing the secondary Site, do I need to install an SQL server Instance at Sccm2 server?
or the default mssql express edition is enough at site-2 which will be taken care during addition of secondary site wizard?
Pls clarify
RajAssuming you actually want/need a secondary site:
- No there is no advantage of using a full SQL instance over SQL Express. Overhead of a full SQL instance would be a disadvantage as its simply not necessary.
- Correct, clients at the remote site would connect to the WSUS instance at the main location to download/access update metadata. The download of this metadata is (depending upon what you have selected in the catalog) generally around 10MB but after that
it's purely deltas which generally are 500KB per month (the catalog is only updated twice a month by Microsoft).
- You cannot install reporting services on a secondary site -- is there a specific reason you are wanting to?
Going back to my first statement above, without knowing the details we can't make a definite recommendation, but using a remote distribution point is the preferred method of handling remote locations in ConfigMgr 2012. The primary generator of traffic in
ConfigMgr is content transfer (accounting for at least 90% of traffic typically) thus the only traffic you truly need to worry about (once again typically, there are many factors that can potentially influence this) is content from DPs.

With Vignesh R. P.
Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation.This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about concept, configuration and troubleshooting Layer 2 MPLS VPN - Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) with Vignesh R. P.
Cisco Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) is a solution for transporting Layer 2 packets over an MPLS backbone. It enables Service Providers to supply connectivity between customer sites with existing data link layer (Layer 2) networks via a single, integrated, packet-based network infrastructure: a Cisco MPLS network. Instead of using separate networks with network management environments, service providers can deliver Layer 2 connections over an MPLS backbone. AToM provides a common framework to encapsulate and transport supported Layer 2 traffic types over an MPLS network core.
Vignesh R. P. is a customer support engineer in the Cisco High Touch Technical Support center in Bangalore, India, supporting Cisco's major service provider customers in routing and MPLS technologies. His areas of expertise include routing, switching, and MPLS. Previously at Cisco he worked as a network consulting engineer for enterprise customers. He has been in the networking industry for 8 years and holds CCIE certification in the Routing & Switching and Service Provider tracks.
Remember to use the rating system to let Vignesh know if you have received an adequate response.
Vignesh might not be able to answer each question due to the volume expected during this event. Remember that you can continue the conversation on the Service Provider sub-community discussion forum shortly after the event. This event lasts through through September 21, 2012. Visit this forum often to view responses to your questions and the questions of other community members.Hi Tenaro,
AToM stands for Any Transport over MPLS and it is Cisco's terminology used for Layer 2 MPLS VPN or Virtual Private Wire Service. It is basically a Layer 2 Point-to-Point Service. AToM basically supports various Layer 2 protocols like Ethernet, HDLC, PPP, ATM and Frame Relay.
The customer routers interconnect with the service provider routers at Layer 2. AToM eliminates the need for the legacy network from the service provider carrying these kinds of traffic and integrates this service into the MPLS network that already transports the MPLS VPN traffic.
AToM is an open standards-based architecture that uses the label switching architecture of MPLS and can be integrated into any network that is running MPLS. The advantage to the customer is that they do not need to change anything. Their routers that are connecting to the service provider routers can still use the same Layer 2 encapsulation type as before and do not need to run an IP routing protocol to the provider edge routers as in the MPLS VPN solution.
The service provider does not need to change anything on the provider (P) routers in the core of the MPLS network. The intelligence to support AToM sits entirely on the PE routers. The core label switching routers (LSRs) only switch labeled packets, whereas the edge LSRs impose and dispose of labels on the Layer 2 frames.
Whereas pseudowire is a connection between the PE routers and emulates a wire that is carrying Layer 2 frames. Pseudowires use tunneling. The Layer 2 frames are encapsulated into a labeled (MPLS) packet. The result is that the specific Layer 2 service—its operation and characteristics—is emulated across a Packet Switched Network.
Another technology that more or less achieves the result of AToM is L2TPV3. In the case of L2TPV3 Layer 2 frames are encapsulated into an IP packet instead of a labelled MPLS packet.
Hope the above explanation helps you. Kindly revert incase of further clarification required.
Thanks & Regards,

I have tried restarting the services and rebooting the server altogether and still hangs here. Any ideas before I wipe it and start over?
Thanks!So the site just changed from Pending to Active in the admin console. Might be my OCD not waiting long enough. :-| I will continue to monitor and see if it completes the process. If all goes through, taking significantly longer that the
other 9 site installs.. -
So I found a TechNet article on installing a secondary site, and got it going as far as any logs says it's going but now what?
Where and how do I manage it? I tried googling and only found articles on installing a secondary site but no continuation on - Now that you have your secondary site installed go here to manage it.
Why a secondary site? It's in a different domain, part of the same forest, with very few clients and I didn't really want to associate it with the Stand Alone Primary site as they have a slow network.
I figured, open the Management Console, put in its name much like connecting to a Primary site and bam, you're done. Ick, a few errors.
Okay, then I thought, just connect to the primary site. Okay, add domain user to local administrator group and go...sort of, but finally I can connect to the Primary site. Yay!
But again, now what?Hey Jason,
As always, it's a pleasure to get a nugget from you.
Yes, I have some learning to do. At the moment I'm slogging through Microsoft's Virtual Academy for SCCM, but before having done that I was poking along with just the imaging aspect of things and branched out to adding DPs and a few days ago wanting
to get the Windows Updates wrangled in which at the moment for one domain (A) it works groovy. For the Domain B, I haven't integrated their WUS in to the mix.
On a client in Domain A, I go in to the wuahandler.log and see the lines...
Its a WSUS Update Source type ({22DDB6A6-E5A4-4493-8F90-EAD9875024B6}), adding it. WUAHandler 6/28/2014 2:00:01 AM 3836 (0x0EFC)
Enabling WUA Managed server policy to use server:

YAY it works...
I go to a client in Domain B, which points to their own WUS and don't quite see the same thing.

So I figure, I need to some how get SCCM to be aware of the other domain's WUS (I know, it's WSUS, just seems redundant to have that first 'S') Sooo, I added the role to it. I don't recall the outcome of that, but perhaps I should revisit it to get a feel
for the deal of it. Anyway, I'm blathering at this point.
Anyway, perhaps I'm hoping to find an honest-to-goodness blog that walks through Enterprise level dealings with SCCM in a non-CAS environment, and multiple WSUS servers, DPs, MPs, and cool stuff like that for each of the domains in the enterprise.
That shows you how it's working, how to verify it is doing what it is suppose to do and stuff like that. Gone one?
As for books, do you have any recommendations? Got my Kindle all fired up and ready to go...but then tech books seems to lack on e-devices...Ick. Poor formatting and such.
And one other thing, about DPs that's got me baffled, and this is lack of understanding. I had a co-working IT guy call me some time ago and tell me that Firefox was failing to install. I looked at the log and scratched my head and saw that it was a boundary
issue of sorts. His laptop belongs to Domain A, but was connected to the network in Domain C which may or may not have been part of the Forest. Sooo, I looked at that and scratched my head, and then said OK let's just add his network information
to my boundary...Yay it worked. So I got to recognize boundary issues (And how to correctly spell boundary too). You are probably cringing at this point, if not already. But I'm guessing I over did it? I really have to figure out how boundaries work
so that matter where a Domain A computer is at it can get content (Which was the issue, it couldn't find the content) from hopefully the closest content source. Meanwhile maintaining that Domain B computers are suppose to do the same thing.
Ok, I'll go read now. Again. :(
Look forward to hearing back from you. -
Clients on secondary site cannot find the right site to connect
Hi, I have a primary site of SCCM 2012 R2, and a secondary site.
The Site code for the primary site is 'LPZ' and for the secondary site is 'SCZ', when I trying to install an SCCM client at the secondary site (in windows client or server) it is assigned only to the primary Site, and if you try to change the site
manually to correct the site assignment we receive this error message "Failed to update site assignment".
We have updated the AD and both the primary and secondary site are published into my AD, and the SCCM servers has the proper rights over the container.
Reviewing the installation logs I cant find any clue to help me to resolve this behaviour.
RaulitoResident site is where the Client physically exists and this is determined by the boundary groups.
Assigned site is the Site to which client is assigned and this is LPZ in your case for all machines as you have just one Primary.
Following TechNet link explains this in detail:

Replacing Secondary Site server with a new oneA
I have Secondary site running on Windows 2008 R2, but the server has some issue and i need to install a new secondary server.
The location is remote and Bandwidth a concern so i do not want all the packages to go over to the new Secondary Site /DP
Since the current Secondary site server is still alive , i want to take as much as from it .
Anyone has some suggestion on how i could accomplish this.There's no built in way to do this in 2007; however, you should be able to use the preload package tool:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2009/05/07/configmgr-2007-the-preload-package-tool-preloadpkgonsite-exe-explained.aspx . Using this tool, you can copy the pick files from the existing secondary to the new secondary site server.

Cell-relay over MPLS using MGX 8850
we have existing ATM network using TDM links between MGX 8850 & have PVCs for voice & data traffic. We are planning to migrate the same over MPLS network
following is the setup.
MGX1----> PE1 ------>MPLS Cloud ------> PE2 ---->MGX2
As per this plan we will terminate existing TDM trunks to PE routers at both the end & map VPI/VCI values at PE routers for virtual ATM pvcs over MPLS cloud.We are using cell-relay over MPLS with VC mode. My query is, can we enable MPLS L3 & L2 on the same last mile in this scenario? We want to have one IP over ATM interface on same ATM interface at PE router & make that part of VRF & enable L3 MPLS VPN between all the sites for any to any data transfer. For data we don't want to use L2 MPLS as its any to any & it will end up with too many ATM PVCs.
In this setup PE router & MGX will be configured in NNI-NNI at both end. If we want to create one sub-interface at same ATM interface at PE router end, then that port need to be in UNI. Is it possible to use same ATM trunk port as NNI & UNI?
In MGX 8850 we have RPM,AXSM & VISM modules.the following document should give you some idea,

Source hierarchy AAA is at 2012 R2 CU3 and contains a primary site and 14 secondary sites (A01 through A14). The 14 secondary site servers hold the following roles:
Site system
Management Point
State migration point
Site server
Site database server
Component server
Distribution Point
Target hierarchy BBB is also at 2012 R2 CU3 and contains only a primary site. The goal is to "downgrade" the severs at source secondary sites A01 through A14 to distribution points.
AAA was added as a source site. Data gathering was done. A migration job was created an run, and distribution points from the source hierarchy were shared to allow a phased migration of the clients.
We have reach the point where we are ready to reassign distribution points in sites A01 through A14 from AAA to BBB, but none of the shared distribution points are eligible for reassignment. We surmise that since the DP role is not the only role on
these servers (as you can see from the bullet list above), they are ineligible for reassignment. We are unable to remove most of the roles. In fact, the only 2 roles that can be removed are the DP role itself, and the State Migration
Point. If we delete the secondary site, it removes ALL roles...not leaving any behind...including the one we need...DP.
My question is 2-part:
Is our assumption correct? Must a DP role be the only one on the server for a DP to be eligible for reassignment?
Is there any way we can reassign these DPs instead of deleting everything and building them from scratch?
These secondary site servers are in branch offices and host a lot of distributed packages. It would be very inconvenient to have to rebuild the DPs from scratch and redistribute all those packages over the WAN.Full Disclosure: I have never used this tool myself. I intend to, however the opportunity or time to do so has not yet arisen.
You could use the techniques outlined in CloneDP (https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/CloneDP-for-SCCM-2012-SP1-825ce5b1) to create prestage media on each DP and rebuild. That at least would prevent redistributing over the WAN

Folks,
i have a client that have One primary site and 20 Secondary sites and other branches,
so i am trying to implement ZTI solution to cover all these sites,
so what is the implementation process that will cover all these sites?
Samer F. Mustafa Microsoft Technical Team Leader. [email protected]PXE is a separate issue that really is unrelated to secondary sites.
Yes, clients must be able to locate a PXE server if you are using PXE -- OSD does not require PXE though. The best method for PXE server location is IPHelpers though and you should always use and prefer these over DHCP scope for multiple reasons.

Manual Client Push from Secondary Site
Setup: SCCM2012R2
One Primary Site > AD System Discovery Enabled
One Secondary Site > no discovery methods configured
IP boundaries are specified so that remote workstation(s) will use the Secondary as their MP. Auto-install client option disabled for both primary and secondary sites. Client install settings are set up identical for both site servers. (same
user account and same sitecode)
Issue: When attempting to manually push the client install, it will not use the "specified" site server.
Example: Workstation was discovered using AD Discovery by primary site (since AD Discovery is not supported by a secondary site, or so it would appear). The workstation IP is part of a boundary defined to belong to the secondary site.
Settings selected in the manual client push:
[X] Always install the client software
[X] Install the client software from a specified site:
Select -> "Secondary Site"
The workstation never receives the ccm-install package. Nothing appears in the ccm.log file on the Secondary Site server indicating install initialization.
If I run the manual client push again, but this time I leave the box un-checked for "install client software from a specified site," the install runs from the primary site. CCM.log file on the Primary site confirms installation, and the ccmsetup
folder appears on the workstation immediately.
It was my understanding, that a boundary would 'point' the workstation to the Secondary site for deployments, etc.. And even if that isn't true, I have specifically told it to install it from the Secondary Site.
Other notes - the workstation receiving the client resides in the same remote office as the secondary site server. Ideally, we want to limit WAN traffic. I would like to avoid pushing the client across the WAN for several hundred clients.
What am I missing here? Why won't clients install from the secondary site, even when specifically set to do so?Very good information. Thank you for clarifying the reason they were listed with the secondary site code in the console. It confused me - as it didn't line up with what I had read.
At this time, I have about 40 'resources' with no site code. These don't fall in a boundary, but that will be fixed when I create/configure the proper boundaries. The rest have a site code - most primary and others secondary, depending on their
install status and boundary.
I gave the blog post a quick read, but I'll need to go back and read it again to soak in everything that was discussed. Thank you for sharing that. Believe it or not, I had stumbled upon your blog once before for something else (it looked familiar).
It is now bookmarked.
And as I was typing this looking over everything, I found something new....
I'm embarrassed to say that I found the Secondary site replication link was in an error state. Both sites were up - they just weren't talking. The error was a couple days ago - when I started down this path. Sadly, alert notification has
not yet been configured. I'm happy I found it - but I'm angry I wasted your efforts for a simple replication error.
A quick reboot of the secondary server seems to have done the trick. All of those queued up client pushes show up in the CCM.log now. They began flooding in after the reboot.
Thank you again for your patience and helpful responses. -
Secondary Site Distribution Points content flow
We are implementing an environment that contains over 750 locations with distribution points. With the limitation of 250 DPs per site, we are going to have to put DPs under secondary sites.
In preparation for this configuration we would like to have a better understanding of how the content will flow to the lower level DPs (under secondary sites). We are aware that content
being sent to a dp on a secondary site server is compressed at the primary, sent to the secondary and uncompressed. Here are our questions:
1. Will the content for lower level DPs, under the secondary Site, receive its content directly from the primary site DP, or the Secondary Site DP?
2. Will the content for the lower level DPs be compressed, sent and uncompressed (from the primary or secondary)?
This information will help determine the network configuration we use to limit our WAN traffic.
I appreciate any insight into these questions you can provide.
Thanks.Sorry, but can someone explain #1 more detail?
I have Secondary Site with multiple DPs.
If I distribute the content to only 1 DP at Secondary site (not pull DPs), will the content distribute to the Secondary Site server first, then to the DP? Does the content also available at the SS Server?
Does the data flow like: Primary Site -> Secondary Site -> DP ?
