What is SIP PDF Print E-mail
Written by Paul Stryer

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is an IETF standard multimedia conferencing protocol, which includes voice, video, and data conferencing, for use over packet-switched networks.

 

SIP is an open standard replacement for the ITU's H.323.

SIP is described in RFC 3621 - SIP: Session Initiation Protocol.

SIP is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more participants. These sessions include Internet telephone calls, multimedia distribution, and multimedia conferences.

SIP invitations used to create sessions carry session descriptions that allow participants to agree on a set of compatible media types. SIP makes use of elements called proxy servers to help route requests to the user's current location, authenticate and authorize users for services, implement provider call-routing policies, and provide features to users. SIP also provides a registration function that allows users to upload their current locations for use by proxy servers. SIP runs on top of several different transport protocols.

Tuesday, 17 November 2009 13:32

There are many commands that are usable on Cisco routers that can not be found in the documentation, or with the ?. Here is a list of some of these commands

 

***********************[A]*************************
aaa accounting delay-start
[12.1] [hidden] global configuration command aaa accounting delay-start delays creation of the PPP Network start record until the peer IP address is known. 

aaa authorization address-authorization-exec
[12.1] [hidden] configuration command forces address authorzation for PPP when started from an exec. 

aaa group server {radius | tacacs+} server-group-name server (ip-address-1) [auth-port (port-number)] [acct-port (port-number)] server (ip-address-2) [auth-port (port-number)] [acct-port port-number] deadtime (minutes) pick-method [next | load-balanced | round-robin]
[hidden] Pick-method server-group configuration command used to specify an alternate method of selecting servers when one is not responding. As of 12.0(3)T the load-balanced and round-robin alternatives may be specified butmay not be implemented. The load-balanced keyword indicates that the initial host is selected load-balanced. The round-robin keyword indicates that the initial host is selected in a round-robin method with all servers being retried before starting from the beginning of the list of servers. The next keyword indicates that the list of servers is stepped through sequentially with each request always starting with the first server in the list. This last option is the default method of operation. 

aaa nas port description text
[hidden] global configuration command causes the specified text to appear in TACACS+ accounting records with the attribute nas-description and the value of the text specified in the command. This command is useful during debugging allowing one to specify information about the environment or configuration in which the accounting record was generated. 

access-list number remark (comment)
and
ip access-list extended name remark (comment)
[12.1] Option to add comments about the access list. This keyword is documented under Bug Id CSCdk14543

Hardening Cisco IP Phones – Part 1 PDF Print E-mail
Written by Paul Stryer   
Monday, 09 November 2009 00:45

Introduction

There is a significant increase in the number of companies choosing to deploy Cisco Unified Communications when phasing out their traditional time division multiplexed (TDM) based systems. Security is now one of the highest selection criteria for IT professionals, becoming as important as the features the system offers, when selecting the new system. Unified Communications is not dedicated to its own cable infrastructure as the traditional PBX systems were, but rather uses a shared IP based infrastructure. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) defines a way to carry voice calls over an IP network including the digitization and packetization of the voice streams. Voice traffic travels along with the data traffic over the same IP network. All of the same security technologies and policies deployed to protect the data network can be used to protect the voice service as well.

Configuring PLAR with CallManager v6.1 PDF Print E-mail
Written by Paul Stryer   
Friday, 06 November 2009 15:55

phonearticle

you remember the old television series Batman and Robin? Commissioner Gordon had a red telephone inside a glass cake dish on his desk. When a villain would try to take over the city, Commissioner Gordon would utilize the red phone even though it had no buttons on it to dial. Simply by picking up the hand set the phone would dial the bat cave. The red phone Commissioner Gordon was using was configured with Private Line Auto Ring Down (PLAR). The phone would automatically connect the call as soon as the hand set went off hook. No human intervention was required to dial the digits. Because of this particular and well known red phone, PLAR is sometimes referred to as “The Bat Phone”.

The Cisco Unified Communications Manager administrator can configure a specific phone number that the Cisco Unified IP Phone will dial as soon as the handset goes off hook. This feature can be useful for phones that are designated for calling emergency or "hotline" numbers.

This white paper will describe the steps for configuring PLAR on Cisco Unified Communications Manager v6.1.
