Where do we begin with this one? - Here is your ticket and before you go to the next section of this post, make sure you have a quick answer.
The Ticket/Challenge **Trying not to call it a problem! Your client needs to move from a Datacenter to a new location. You need to move the CUCM Publisher and be able to do it also by changing the IP address, with minimum service impact as possible
This is going to be my Feedback on the Breakout sessions, as expected Cisco was ready for the challenge and the questions.
I really don’t know if CLUS had the ability for you to join a Spark room simultaneously to the session, at least not in my previous CLUS over in 2014, when I guess it was called Project Squared. My experience was really good with this new feature and helped very much to be engaged in the conversation.
As you may know with he release of CUCM 11.5 there were lots of issues with the Attendant Console applications, one of the related to a bug defect CSCva24885. September 16 there was a new update and instructions on how to install the attendant Console with CUCM 11.x
This post looks at 2 different levels of issues, the actual technical issue and discrepancies on Documentation for the solution. Also the post is looking to point out the solutions that are provided, in hopes that you can finally solve the issues you are currently having with your install
Passing the CCIE Collaboration Lab was really hard and a very nice and entertaining experience, which I feel very happy to say that I completed the challenge!!
I will be very short on this post and will make it technical and a bit emotional for the people out there that may benefit from it at all
How many times is enough? Well I started this year thinking that it was going to take as many times as it needed to take… Financially this could be brutal and indeed it is. But the reality is that you need to make everything possible to make it happen. Just make sure you will get it, no matter what! and put every effort possible to achieve the goal.
I read this one the other day and posted it in my Facebook account. But I really wanted to dig deep into it and learn more about it.
Here are some highlights from Cisco’s latest publication on this one and on their Security program.
New Certification CCNA Cyber Ops Cisco introduces its new CCNA Cyber Security Ops certification, more information in the following link: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/training-events/training-certifications/certifications/associate/ccna-cyber-ops.html
A deeper look into requirements and the blue print of the exam(s) can be found on the Cisco’s training website, but I wanted to save you time and list the exam topics and the % on each one of the topics:
This one may seem a bit like a very involved configuration but in reality is not. The process is easy, if you know how to set up AnyConnect in an ASA, you will be able to crack it.
I have also included few links that show the process and the important things that you need to consider, as well as licensing requirements
Useful Links: ASA Sample Configuration: (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/security/8_5_1/secugd/sec-851-cm/secuvpn.html#wp1054676)
Configure AnyConnect VPN IP Phones with Certificate Authentication on an ASA (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/115785-anyconnect-vpn-00.html)
I don’t mess around too much with ATA devices, and I think never configured one that supports 2 DNs/FXS ports. I was surprised that when configuring Auto-Registration and connecting the ATA 2 devices came up with 2 devices, I was unsure so I looked around to get more information on this one.
I used Auto Registration to save me some time.

Hi there, Here is the link to the CUBE Third-Party Interoperability Fax Guidelines - http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice/t38/116280-configure-cube-00.html I decided to copy the Source code of the page just not mess around with the contents and images which help on understanding the Fax protocols with Cisco CUBE.
Also this makes it a nice link to keep in your toolbox.

While my experience on my first attempt was not the brightest one because I failed, I was able to open my mind and think on endless possibilities and maybe potential recommendations. I hope this helps other with their studies and strategies.
Studying and Muscle Memory: Do you studying… I think many instructors across the globe could not stress this one enough… but its right, going into the Lab with just few practice is not enough, muscle memory plays and interesting role on your experience. The need to know your IOS commands without Context Sensitive help is key (this one got me very bad).
I promise this will be a very short one. This week I purchased 3 9971 with the camera in order to get ready for my rack rentals for CCIE Collaboration, well when I got them I noticed that the phones belonged to someone else(Duhhh!!).
I needed to do a factory reset on those guys, or at least be able to remove the ITL files.
My problem was that I could not do any of these because the Admin Settings was locked by a password. Of course you can remove this password but if only if your phone is able to get the SEP config from your CME (off course if you are using CME) - TCLSH procedure here http://collabengineer.com/2014/11/15/cisco-sip-phones-admin-password-removal-cme-tclsh-operation/
