Lab Objective: This session is developed to enable the learner understand the configuration, implemention and verification of the Extension Mobility Cross Cluster feature now available with the release of Cisco Unified Communications Manager(UCM) v8.0. Instructors notes: The servers in the lab are hosted on remote equipments using VMware ESX 4.0. Some basic configurations are already done in the lab environment. The learner will follow through the basic setup and execute this lab guide step-by-step in order to complete and learn from actual feature configuration. The learner is encouraged to use different tools presented in this lab guide to verify and troubleshoot the features and the setup. Happy labbing! Remote Lab Connectivity Requirements: To access the remotelab, the following requirements must be meet:

1. The PC that the student is using must be connected to a high speed internet, speed of at least 512kbps. 2. The student PC must be installed with Firefox browser. There are known issues with IE. 3. Firefox must be configured to allow pop-ups. 4. Telnet client must ne installed. For Windows Vista and 7, telnet client must be allowed. 5. Any personal firewall must be disabled, the remotelab is using non-standard ports. 6. If the student is connected to a corporate network, the corporate firewall must allow the following IP address and ports IP 203.116.147.67, Ports 11700-11799, 80, 443.

Figure 1. Basic Lab Components and Topology

This is a set of lab for 2 pods, pod 1 which is located on the left of the diagram and pod 2 to the right. One pod consists of a corporate router, a UCM 8.0 server and a pod PC. The pod router is connected to the IP WAN via serial cables, and has connectivity also to the PSTN (which is simulated by using an Ethernet LAN segment). EIGRP routing has been preconfigured on the pod routers and shared equipments for universal IP connectivity. The IP phones for each pod and for the PSTN phones will be software-based: Cisco IP Communicator to simulate the PSTN phone and Phone 1 and Phone 2 on the clusters. For shared equipments, a CME router is used to simulate a PSTN switch between the 2 sites, and a per-pod PSTN phone is to be registered to this router to control their respective local PSTN phone access.

Note After an upgrade, these certificates are preserved. Users do not need to reimport or reconsolidate certificates. This step imports the consolidated PKCS12 file from the SFTP server into the local cluster. All clusters should re-import when any participating cluster makes an export. Perform import after a central administrator consolidates the certificates as explained in Task 8.
