CIPT2 v6.x/7.x - Implementing Cisco Unified Communications IP Telephony Part 2

Duration: 5 days

Cisco Course v6.0 | Cisco Unified Communications Manager Software v7.0 | Prepares you for Cisco Exam 642-456 CIPT2 v6.0.

Prepare to configure a Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) solution in a multisite environment in this course. You'll focus on CUCM Release 6.x/7.x, the call routing and signaling component for the Cisco Unified Communications solution. Learn to implement H.323 and Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), use a Cisco Unified Border Element, and configure Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST), mobility features, and voice security.

In lab activities, you will apply a dial plan for a multisite environment, configure survivability for remote sites during WAN failure, and implement solutions to reduce bandwidth requirements in the IP WAN. You will enable call admission control (CAC) and automated alternate routing (AAR), a feature that allows rerouting of calls over the public switched telephone network (PSTN) if no bandwidth is available. You'll also work through labs for implementing CUCM Device Mobility, CUCM Extension Mobility, Cisco Unified Mobility, and voice security.

Our investment in enhanced and exclusive labs means you get the experience you need using current software and hardware. No other training company offers a unique, real-world lab solution like ours.

In our lab descriptions, an enhanced lab contains a significant addition to the standard labs and may or may not be offered by other providers, while an exclusive lab contains material that is not offered by any other provider.

Our CIPT2 lab environment consists of 12 interconnected Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 7.0 clusters. Two students are responsible for configuring each cluster. Each cluster contains one 2811 Integrated Services Routers running IOS 12.4(15)T, representing a HQ deployment. A sophisticated telephony simulation is provided allowing you to configure SIP trunks and PRI and FXO ports connecting to the PSTN, T1-CAS DS0-Groups connecting to a channel bank connected to two PBXs, and FXS ports connected to analog phones. Each 2811 router is provisioned with a PVDM2-32 providing DSP resources and a serial card for WAN connectivity.

The labs included in this course provide you with a template for the configuration of a multisite centralized CUCM deployment model.

We offer a unique, real-world CIPT2 lab environment that teaches you how to build and test a sophisticated IP telephony network that you can use as a template for a real deployment. We have set ourselves apart from other Cisco training providers by enhancing our CIPT2 hands-on labs to include a real dial plan and Class of Service (CoS) for calling out to the PSTN, branch offices, and PBXs. No other training company offers a unique, real-world lab solution like ours.

Our voice network labs use the latest hardware and software.

• Train on Cisco's new Unified IP Phone 7965G
• Troubleshoot Cisco's new ISR routers: 2811s are used throughout the network
• Gain experience with IOS voice software: 12.4.15T
• Configure CUCM 7.0
• Explore router DSP configuration: PVDM2-32 cards in every 2811 router
• Every router has 2xFXS, 2xFXO, and 2xT1 ports (PRI and T1-CAS) as well as serial ports for WAN connectivity

All of our IP telephony courses provide a simulated PSTN.

• Every pod has internal and external phones
• Build and test a real dial plan including:
  • 911
  • 3-digit service codes: 411, 511, etc.
  • 7-digit local numbers: 681-1901
  • 10-digit local numbers: 416-681-1901
  • 11-digit long distance numbers: 1-733-802-1901
  • International numbers: 011441902

And just like in a real network:

• The same simulated PSTN is accessible through both SIP trunks and PRI and FXO ports
• The same simulated PSTN is accessible through all clusters providing failover scenarios for bandwidth and connectivity problems
• Different area codes are deployed at all sites

Build and test a real CoS solution that allows:

• Internal dialing
• 911 and service code dialing
• Local dialing
• Long distance dialing
• International dialing
