COURSES INDEX
CallManager Basic Administration v4.1 (CMBA) - 5-day Hands-on Cisco Authorized Course


Course Description

Our enhanced 3-day course delivers the skills you need to add, move, change, and troubleshoot IP telephony devices. Learn the skills required to support IP phone users and identify network and server impact when administering changes. You will also configure the latest Cisco CallManager (CCM) version 4.1 on a Windows 2000 server platform with Cisco 7960 & 7961 IP phones, IP SoftPhones, and Catalyst® switches with in-line power.

All of our IP telephony courses provide a simulated PSTN.

  • Deploy Cisco CallManager 4.1
  • 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 PRI and FXO ports
  • The same simulated PSTN is accessible through all four clusters providing failover scenarios for bandwidth and connectivity problems
  • Different area codes are deployed at all sites (two per cluster)

Build and test a real CoS solution that allows:

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

The CMBA lab environment consists of up to 12 interconnected CallManager 4.1 clusters. Two students are responsible for configuring each cluster. A sophisticated telephony simulation is provided allowing you to configure a complete dial plan including Class of Service. This course focuses on CallManager configuration: routers are not configured in this course. A minimal understanding of IP is helpful.

Lab 1: Enhanced - Topology and Deployment

Wire the CMBA classroom network and image the CallManager servers for each cluster. The CallManager is preinstalled but not configured, while you become familiar extension mobility test profiles. This lab takes less than 60 minutes, and no additional wiring is required for any later labs.

Enhanced content: Extension mobility test profiles

Lab 2: DHCP

Configure two DHCP scopes and a helper-address to support IP Phone deployment.

Lab 3: CallManager Initial Setup

Preparing for later labs, activate CallManager services, enable auto registration, provide initial configuration of IP phones, and configure CDR and tracing.

Lab 4: BARS

Configure and test Cisco's CallManager Backup and Restore System.

Lab 5: IP Phone and IP Communicator Configuration

Further configure pod IP phones and deploy IP Communicator.

Lab 6: BAT

Use the BAT tool to add phones to the CallManager configuration.

Lab 7: Enhanced - Gateway Lab 1: ICT

Install and test intercluster trunks allowing dialing to all other student pods.

Enhanced content: Full mesh across all clusters

Configure and test a dial plan allowing routing to external numbers. The dial plan deployed can be used as the template for a real-world deployment. Even overlapping 7- and 10-digit dialing is investigated (the QQQ above represents a local area code), and you'll be able to completely test your dial plan using the equipment in your own pod.

Lab 9: Dial Plan 2: Hunt Lists and Call Coverage

Hunt lists and call coverage are configured to illustrate this aspect of CallManager configuration.
