Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] call group of DN number to conference at a time
In CME it is called paging but it's one-way communication from the person who initiated the paging to the group of others who are paged. I guess you can join the paging-DN into the conference but I never tried this. I don't know a way to do it on CCM.

[OSL | CCIE_Voice] Lab attack order.
I'm curious how people have approached the order of completing a lab. What order do you use to ensure gathering the most points and build the lab correctly without doubling back to adjust things as you get further into the lab. I know Vik and Mark have their own opinions on this, but I wanted to throw it out to the more general audience for feedback.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Lab attack order.
I think everyone has their own way of doing it, but here's how I go about it: STEP ZERO - read the whole lab carefully. It's hard to do when you are nervous. Try and pay attention the the details and look for tricks. Then work things out like what partitions and css you'll need, how the gatekeeper will work. Do you need multicast. Try and get you head around the lab as much as possible. 1. Gather info This is where I log into everything and look at CDP to get the MAC addresses of the phones and of the 6608 devices. I put all of this info into notepad for easy cut and paste. I hardly use any paper in the lab everything goes into notepad for easy access and no retyping. 2. 6500 Next I set up the 6500. I do all the vlans, aux vlans, voice ports, muulticast, and any QoS 3. HQ Here I set up interfaces, NTP, timezone, DHCP if need be, multicast if needed, QoS and the basic Gatekeeper config. I like doing all the QoS at the beginning of the lab, and by doing it on HQ first it helps with time because you can just cut and paste what you do on HQ to BR1 and BR2. I set up the GK enough so that I know the CME and UCM will register in the correct zones. Also if I see I need VIA-GK I go ahead and set up IPIPGW, dial peers and transcoder (as needed) on HQ. I go back and tweak the GK config later after I have set up UCM and CME. 4. BR1 I paste in QoS config copied from HQ, create the vlans, create interfaces, set helper address and multicast if needed, set up switch ports, set up dhcp if needed, set up ntp and timezone, set isdn switchtype, configure PRI for MGCP or H323, tweak isdn settings on serial, set up mgcp if needed, set up translation rules, set up CoR if needed, configure dial peers if needed for H323 and/or SRST, config transcoder and conf bridge if needed, set up SRST. 5. BR2 I paste in QoS config copied from HQ, create interfaces, set helper address and multicast if needed, set up dhcp if needed, set up ntp and timezone, set isdn switchtype, configure PRI, tweak isdn settings on serial, set voice service to allow h323 to sip, set up translation rules, set up CoR if needed, configure dial peers (these can often be copied with minor tweaks from BR1), config transcoder and conf bridge if needed (another section copied fro BR1), run telephony service setup, paste mac address from step 1 to appropriate ephone, set up H323 gateway and confirm registered to HQ, set voip dial peers for HQ GK and CUE, add ephone-dns for MWI, set up BACD, add any hunt groups as needed. 6. CUE I normally do this step while doing something else at the same time like setting up the 3550. There's alot of waiting in this step while CUE just does its thing. Once CUE is up and ready to be configured, I normally do the basic setup with the GUI (this will set up mwi, and your sip triggers and applications) and then do user creation from the CUE CLI. 7. 3550 Here I do vlans and set up ports, and do any QoS. 8. CME Testing So at this point 90% of the CLI work is done and all the CME/CUE stuff is complete. So here I do some quick testing on CME dialing in / out to PSTN, CUE MWI, and BACD. 9. Callmanager Basic So here Im doing all the CM stuff I can think of except call routing and phones. I go into serviceability first and turn on whatever services I need. Then I go back to admin. I use the Top Left to Right method. So System menu first and usually touch everything except Device Defaults. Then in Route Plan I do AAR, Partitions, CSS, and I try to do any translation patterns that I think I'll need. Then I jump over to the Device menu. I do any custom soft keys or button templates. I set up EM profiles if I need them. I set up all my gateways and make sure they register, I set up the GK and trunk I set up any CTI route points I need. I DO NOT set up the phones yet however. Then I move to the Feature Menu. I setup my phone services, voice mail, and park or pickup if need be. Then I go to the services menu. I setup all the media resources, lists and groups and make sure everything is registered and in the right device pool. After the media stuff is done I go back to the device pools and assign the MRGL. I always do IPMA or AC later after the phones are set up. 10. Eat Lunch Yep all the stuff listed above needs to be done before lunch. 11. Callmanager routing and Phones So this part is all about the Route Groups, Route Lists, and Route Patterns. I plan most of this out in step zero or at lunch. Once thats all done I start setting up the phones and users. If I did everything right in step 9 and I can do everything I need to on every phones without going back and add partitions or what not. When this is done I do some quick basic testing with the PSTN. 12. Gatekeeper Now that everything is built on CCM and CME and everything is registered to the GK, I finish the GK config. This could mean adding zone prefixes, aliases, bandwidth commands etc. Then I test
[OSL | CCIE_Voice] MOH problem - but I managed to figure it out....but useful info
Running into a strange issue this evening on the rack. Streaming multicast MOH from HQ to BR1. Performace counters show the MOH source active on the server, but PSTN caller into BR1 doesn't get music. I've done the ip pim sparse-dense on the Loopback, Vlan, and on the virtual-template interface (this is MLPoFR) for BR1. On BR1, sh ip mroute returns the info you'd expect: (*, 239.2.1.1), 00:05:37/stopped, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: D Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0 Outgoing interface list: Virtual-Access3, Forward/Dense, 00:05:37/00:00:00 (10.21.201.1, 239.2.1.1), 00:05:36/00:00:24, flags: T Incoming interface: Vlan410, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0 Outgoing interface list: Virtual-Access3, Forward/Dense, 00:02:32/00:00:00 (172.21.101.1, 239.2.1.1), 00:05:37/00:00:32, flags: T Incoming interface: Loopback0, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0 Outgoing interface list: Virtual-Access3, Forward/Dense, 00:02:33/00:00:00 (*, 224.0.1.40), 01:19:01/00:02:24, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: DCL Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0 Outgoing interface list: Virtual-Access1, Forward/Dense, 01:19:01/00:00:00 Virtual-Access3, Forward/Dense, 01:19:12/00:00:00 So the router KNOWS about it. But when the call goes on hold, the stream isn't coming across. I'm really not seeing any packets across the WAN while the caller is on hold, so I don't think it's actually sending it across. But callers into HQ DO get multicast MOH, but of course, they are on the same VLAN so it's easy. So I start wonderingwhere the heck is it getting stuck? I've got the BR1 router set up with the no mgcp timer receive-rtcp ip pim-dense no ip igmp snooping I'm thinkingthis isn't the problem. So, I back up and start looking at HQ router. It also sees the PIM info...: Pod21-HQ-RTR#sh ip mroute IP Multicast Routing Table Flags: D - Dense, S - Sparse, B - Bidir Group, s - SSM Group, C - Connected, L - Local, P - Pruned, R - RP-bit set, F - Register flag, T - SPT-bit set, J - Join SPT, M - MSDP created entry, X - Proxy Join Timer Running, A - Candidate for MSDP Advertisement, U - URD, I - Received Source Specific Host Report, Z - Multicast Tunnel, z - MDT-data group sender, Y - Joined MDT-data group, y - Sending to MDT-data group Outgoing interface flags: H - Hardware switched, A - Assert winner Timers: Uptime/Expires Interface state: Interface, Next-Hop or VCD, State/Mode (*, 239.2.1.1), 00:04:33/00:01:26, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: D Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0 Outgoing interface list: Virtual-Access3, Forward/Dense, 00:04:33/00:00:00 (*, 239.2.1.3), 00:00:16/stopped, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: D Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0 Outgoing interface list: Virtual-Access3, Forward/Dense, 00:00:16/00:00:00 (162.21.101.2, 239.2.1.3), 00:00:17/00:02:42, flags: PT Incoming interface: Virtual-Access3, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0 Outgoing interface list: Null (*, 224.0.1.40), 05:50:11/00:02:45, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: DCL Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0 So...I wonderit couldn't be that simple I go in and apply the following command onto the fas 0/0.410 interface: ip pim dense Make a test calland we have audio.

I've got the BR1 router set up with the no mgcp timer receive-rtcp ip pim-dense no ip igmp snooping I'm thinkingthis isn't the problem. So, I back up and start looking at HQ router. It also sees the PIM info...: Pod21-HQ-RTR#sh ip mroute IP Multicast Routing Table Flags: D - Dense, S - Sparse, B - Bidir Group, s - SSM Group, C - Connected, L - Local, P - Pruned, R - RP-bit set, F - Register flag, T - SPT-bit set, J - Join SPT, M - MSDP created entry, X - Proxy Join Timer Running, A - Candidate for MSDP Advertisement, U - URD, I - Received Source Specific Host Report, Z - Multicast Tunnel, z - MDT-data group sender, Y - Joined MDT-data group, y - Sending to MDT-data group Outgoing interface flags: H - Hardware switched, A - Assert winner Timers: Uptime/Expires Interface state: Interface, Next-Hop or VCD, State/Mode (*, 239.2.1.1), 00:04:33/00:01:26, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: D Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0 Outgoing interface list: Virtual-Access3, Forward/Dense, 00:04:33/00:00:00 (*, 239.2.1.3), 00:00:16/stopped, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: D Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0 Outgoing interface list: Virtual-Access3, Forward/Dense, 00:00:16/00:00:00 (162.21.101.2, 239.2.1.3), 00:00:17/00:02:42, flags: PT Incoming interface: Virtual-Access3, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0 Outgoing interface list: Null (*, 224.0.1.40), 05:50:11/00:02:45, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: DCL Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0 So...I wonderit couldn't be that simple I go in and apply the following command onto the fas 0/0.410 interface: ip pim dense Make a test calland we have audio. While this allows it to flow correctly, I'm still not clear on how it could KNOW it was there but not flow...but at least I won't get killed by this situation again. Cliff
