CWVM Device Management
CWVM has a distributed architecture, allowing system changes to be shared among network elements within CWVM. For example, if a gateway, group, Cisco UBE gatekeeper, or Cisco UBE directory gatekeeper is added, modified, moved, or deleted, all associated clients logged into CWVM are notified.

Groups
You create groups in CWVM to manage gateways that are not managed by a Cisco UBE gatekeeper. A group is a logical partition that contains gateways that interact with each other in a network. Groups must be created to manage gateways in VoFR/VoATM networks, because these networks do not use Cisco UBE gatekeepers. Groups must also be created in VoIP networks that contain gateways that are not managed by a Cisco UBE gatekeeper. When you add a gateway to a group and make changes to the phone number on its voice port, CWVM automatically propagates dial plan information among all gateways in the group.

Cisco UBE Gatekeepers
Cisco UBE gatekeepers are used only in VoIP networks. When added to CWVM, they appear only in the VoIP view. When adding a Cisco UBE gatekeeper to CWVM, you must know its IP address or DNS name and its Enable and Telnet passwords. The Cisco UBE gatekeeper must also be running the appropriate Cisco IOS gatekeeper software.
CWVM can have different levels of Cisco UBE gatekeepers. Parent Cisco UBE gatekeepers can help expedite call resolution. These parent Cisco UBE gatekeepers are called Cisco UBE directory gatekeepers. Cisco UBE directory gatekeepers know only about the Cisco UBE gatekeepers that they manage or other associated Cisco UBE directory gatekeepers. Cisco UBE directory gatekeepers do not manage individual gateways.

Adding a Cisco UBE Gatekeeper or Cisco UBE Directory Gatekeeper
When you add a Cisco UBE gatekeeper to CWVM, you must know its IP address or DNS name and its Enable and Telnet passwords. CWVM searches the Cisco UBE gatekeeper for such configurations as zone, bandwidth, and technology prefix. CWVM saves this information in its database. You can propagate zone information between top level Cisco UBE gatekeepers and Cisco UBE directory gatekeepers.
Before you add a Cisco UBE gatekeeper under a Cisco UBE directory gatekeeper, you must configure the Cisco UBE directory gatekeeper's remote zone and zone prefixes to cover zone prefixes that its children will manage. If a Cisco UBE directory gatekeeper's remote zone prefixes do not cover the child Cisco UBE gatekeeper's zone prefix, CWVM does not allow you to add the child Cisco UBE gatekeeper. See Configuring a Cisco UBE Gatekeeper, for more information on how to configure a Cisco UBE gatekeeper.
CWVM also allows you to add backup Cisco UBE gatekeepers or backup Cisco UBE directory gatekeepers to the system. See the following procedure for details.
Note
You cannot add gateways to Cisco UBE directory gatekeepers.
Procedure
Step 1
Select the VoIP view.
Step 2
From the tree, right-click the network or CWVM server to which you want to add the new Cisco UBE gatekeeper. A popup menu appears.
Step 3

Note
By design, the Cisco UBE gatekeeper configuration window is populated with the information listed in a device's running configuration (obtained by entering the sh run command). As a result, if the default values for any of the available options are not provided in the running configuration, these values will not appear in the Cisco UBE gatekeeper configuration window.
Procedure
Step 1
Select the VoIP view.
Step 2
From the tree, right-click the Cisco UBE gatekeeper for which you want to configure options. A popup menu appears.
Step 3
Select Configure.... The Configuration for Cisco UBE Gatekeeper window appears with the General tab active.
Step 4
Perform the desired action.
Field
|
Description
|
Action
|
ARQ Reject Unknown Prefix
|
Default is disabled. When a zone prefix match is not found, the default behavior is to attempt to use a local zone for the hop off (instead of failing the call). If enabled, an admission reject (ARJ) message is returned to the originating gateway and the call is routed through an alternate dial peer.
|
Select Enable or Disable.
|
ARQ Reject Resource Low
|
Default is disabled. If this is enabled, an ARJ message is returned to the originating gateway when destination resources are low.
|
Select Enable or Disable.
|
ARQ Hopoff Zone
|
Forces the access Cisco UBE gatekeeper to send LRQ messages to remote zones or clusters to resolve the called number, even though the routing information for the called number is already known.
|
Enter valid remote zones or clusters. Use the semicolon (;) as a delimiter when entering multiple values. The following are examples of valid values:
• zone1
• zone1;zone2;zone3
Caution  The values specified in this field are saved only after the previous values are deleted using the no arq hopoff command. Make sure you enter valid remote zones/clusters. Otherwise, the values previously set for this field will be discarded.
|
LRQ Reject Unknown Prefix
|
Default is disabled. When a hop off zone is not found (that is, when a zone prefix is not matched), the default behavior is to attempt to service the request using a local zone. If enabled, a location reject (LRJ) is returned to the originating gateway.
|
Select Enable or Disable.
|
LRQ Reject Resource Low
|
Default is disabled. If this is enabled, a Cisco UBE gatekeeper notifies a sending Cisco UBE gatekeeper on receipt of an LRQ message that indicates no terminating endpoints are available.
|
Select Enable or Disable.
|
LRQ Reject Unknown Circuit
|
Default is disabled. If this is enabled, a Cisco UBE gatekeeper rejects an LRQ message that contains an unknown destination circuit.
|
Select Enable or Disable.
|
LRQ LRJ Immediate-Advance
|
Default is disabled. If this is enabled, a Cisco UBE gatekeeper sends a sequential LRQ message to the next zone immediately after it receives an LRJ message from a Cisco UBE gatekeeper in the current zone.
|
Select Enable or Disable.
|
LRQ Add Time-to-live
|
Default is disabled. If this is enabled, a Cisco UBE directory gatekeeper forwards LRQs to other Cisco UBE gatekeepers and returns the highest priority and lowest cost gateway information to the requesting endpoint.
|
Select Enable or Disable.
|
LRQ Hop Count
|
Specifies the maximum number of hops for LRQ forwarding among Cisco UBE directory gatekeepers in the Cisco UBE gatekeeper group.
|
Enter a valid maximum hop count (from 1 to 10).
|
BandWidth Management
|
Determines amount of bandwidth allocated for total, interzone, per session, and remote maximum bandwidth usage for Cisco UBE gatekeeper.
|
Enter bandwidth values.
To enable a destination zone bandwidth check before responding to an ARQ message, select the Check Bandwidth check box.
Note To allocate different values for individual local zones, see Adding a Local Zone.
|
Extra Commands
|
Runs Cisco UBE gatekeeper commands that are not available through CWVM. Also lists Cisco UBE gatekeeper commands that are not supported by CWVM.
|
Enter the CLI command. For example:
zone subnet gkName 172.20.118.1
255.255.255.0 enable
Note CWVM does not validate these commands.
|
Step 5
Click Finish.

Interpreting Cisco UBE Gatekeeper Configuration Options
When you reconfigure a Cisco UBE gatekeeper or Cisco UBE directory gatekeeper, CWVM displays the following:
•
A list of devices that will be unregistered—Select Yes or No to proceed with the operation.
•
An option of whether or not you want to propagate any zone information changes—Select Yes or No. If you select Yes, the information is propagated only to other top level Cisco UBE gatekeepers.
•
An option to schedule the operation—Select Schedule to have the operation perform at a later time, or select Do NOW to perform the operation immediately.
Note
When zones and zone prefixes are deleted, the Unregistered Devices window appears. This window shows a list of Cisco UBE gatekeepers or gateways (depending on whether a Cisco UBE directory gatekeeper or a Cisco UBE gatekeeper was configured) followed by a list of zones or zone prefixes that were deleted. Upon clicking Yes, you are given the option to propagate the zone information to top level Cisco UBE gatekeepers at a later scheduled time.
Managing Local Zones
Local zones are logical groups of gateways that are registered locally to a Cisco UBE gatekeeper.
See the following to configure a local zone:
•
Adding a Local Zone
•
Modifying a Local Zone
•
Deleting a Local Zone
Tip
If you want to manage zones using only Cisco UBE gatekeepers (without using Cisco UBE directory gatekeepers), you can establish remote zones between Cisco UBE gatekeepers. All local zones for one Cisco UBE gatekeeper are represented by one remote zone in a remote Cisco UBE gatekeeper. All zone prefixes assigned to a Cisco UBE gatekeeper, regardless of what local zone they are in, are created under the same remote zone in a remote Cisco UBE gatekeeper. For example, if GatekeeperAA has two local zones (localZone1 and localZone2), then remote GatekeeperB creates remoteZoneAA that contains all zone prefixes belonging to localZone1 and localZone2.

Technology prefixes determine the type of services a gateway can provide. These services include voice mail gateways, gateway priority assignment, and hop off options. For example, voice gateways may register with technology prefix "1xx," H.320 gateways with "2xx," voice mail gateways with "3xx," and so on.

Gateways
CWVM manages gateways enabled for combinations of VoIP and VoFR/VoATM networks. Groups must always be created to manage gateways in VoFR/VoATM networks because these networks do not use Cisco UBE gatekeepers. Groups must also be created in VoIP networks that contain gateways that are not managed by a Cisco UBE gatekeeper.
See the following topics for more information about working with gateways:

Preparing a Gateway for CWVM
Before you can add a gateway to CWVM, Telnet and SNMP must be enabled on the router. Because Telnet is used to communicate with the gateway, Session Timeout must be configured to a nonzero value for all vty lines.
To enable SNMP:
Router(config)# snmp-server community public RW
To configure Enable or Secret Password:
Router(config)# enable password lab
Line password in the line configuration set to enable Telnet:
Router(config)# line vty 0 4
Router(config)# password lab
To configure Session Timeout for all vty lines:
Router(config)# line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)# session-timeout 10
When adding a gateway to CWVM, you must know the IP address or DNS name and any passwords the gateway has. CWVM searches the gateway, automatically detects the type of voice interfaces enabled on it, and places it in the appropriate views and in the All Gateways view.
Note
Because CWVM supports a wide variety of Cisco routers, only basic information about gateways is provided in this document. For detailed information about routers, refer to the documentation provided with your Cisco router.

Adding a Gateway to a Cisco UBE Gatekeeper
Adding a Gateway to a Cisco UBE Gatekeeper
Before adding a gateway to a Cisco UBE gatekeeper (or moving a gateway to a new Cisco UBE gatekeeper) using CWVM, you must configure both devices through the CLI.
Caution 
When you configure a gateway to be moved to a new Cisco UBE gatekeeper using the CLI, you must also move the gateway to the new Cisco UBE gatekeeper in CWVM (see
Moving a Gateway). If you do not move the gateway to the new Cisco UBE gatekeeper within CWVM, any associated gateways in the originating Cisco UBE gatekeeper will propagate incorrect dial peer information to this gateway as well as receive incorrect dial peer information from the gateway. This might cause calls to be routed incorrectly.
In this example, the following parameters are assigned.
Parameter
|
Assignment
|
Gateway IP Address
|
172.20.118.12
|
Gateway Alias
|
gw12-sj
|
Cisco UBE Gatekeeper IP Address
|
172.20.118.7 1718
|
Cisco UBE Gatekeeper Port Number
|
1718
|
Cisco UBE Gatekeeper Alias
|
gk7-sj
|
The following is an example of how you would configure this gateway:
! IP address of the gateway
ip address 172.20.118.12 255.255.255.192
! Identifies that this is a VoIP gateway
h323-gateway voip interface
! Defines name and location of Cisco UBE Gatekeeper
h323-gateway voip id gk7-sj ipaddr 172.20.118.7 1718
! Defines name and location of gateway
h323-gateway voip h323-id gw12-sj
! Enabling the gateway command
The following is an example of how you would configure the Cisco UBE gatekeeper for the previous gateway:
! Create local zone - has gateway alias and domain name
zone local gk7-sj cisco.com
! Add prefix to Cisco UBE gatekeeper zone list and set priority to 10
zone prefix gk7-sj 408* gw-priority 10 gw12-sj
show gatekeeper zone status

Procedure
Step 1
From the tree view, right-click the gateway that you want to monitor. A popup menu appears.
Step 2
Select Monitor > Resource Info.... Gateway status information appears in the Router Statistics window.
Step 3
Click Finish.
Deleting a Gateway
You can delete a gateway from CWVM at any time, in any view. You can delete a gateway from a specific view only while viewing it in the VoIP or VoFR/ATM views. You cannot delete a gateway from the All Gateways view without also deleting it from CWVM. To delete a gateway, you can use either of the following procedures.
Procedure A: All Gateways View
Step 1
In the All Gateway view, right-click the gateway that you want to delete. A popup menu appears.
Step 2
Select Delete. The Select an Option window appears, asking you to confirm that you want to delete the gateway from the VoIP view and from CWVM.
Step 3
Make your selection.
Step 4
Click OK to confirm that you want to delete the gateway from VoIP view or CWVM.
Procedure B: VoIP and VoFR/ATM Views
Step 1
In the VoIP or VoFR/ATM views, right-click the gateway that you want to delete. A popup menu appears.
Step 2
Select Delete. The Delete Router window appears.
Step 3
Click Delete only from this view or Delete from the system.
If the gateway you are deleting was displayed in the All subtab under the VoIP view, the Delete Router window displays the options Delete only from VoIP view or Delete from the system. Clicking Delete only from VoIP view will delete the gateway from all subtabs in the VoIP view.
Step 4
Click OK to confirm the deletion of the Gateway from the view or from CWVM.
Moving a Gateway
You can drag and drop gateways between networks under a single CWVM server. Gateways are updated only in the selected network view. For example, if you are in the VoIP view, and you move a gateway to another network, the VoATM/FR view does not show the gateway under the new network. You should later select the VoATM/FR view and then move the same gateway to the new network, so that the same information is displayed in both network views.
Caution 
When you use the CLI to configure a gateway to be moved to a new Cisco UBE gatekeeper, you must also move the gateway to the new Cisco UBE gatekeeper in CWVM. If you do not move the gateway to the new Cisco UBE gatekeeper within CWVM, any associated gateways in the originating Cisco UBE gatekeeper will propagate incorrect dial peer information to this gateway as well as receive incorrect dial peer information from the gateway. This could cause calls to be routed incorrectly.
The behavior of moving gateways is as follows:
•
Between groups—Dial-peer information from the gateway you are moving is not automatically propagated to the other gateways in the new group. Also, dial-peer information for gateways in the old group is not deleted from the gateway.
•
From a group to a Cisco UBE gatekeeper—The zone on the gateway being moved must be valid for the new Cisco UBE gatekeeper. If the zone is not valid, you must create the zone on the new Cisco UBE gatekeeper before moving the gateway. Also, if the telephone numbers on a gateway are not within the prefix range for the zone, then the gateway cannot register those phone numbers with the Cisco UBE gatekeeper, and the phone numbers can be accessed only by explicit dial peers on other gateways.
•
From one Cisco UBE gatekeeper to another Cisco UBE gatekeeper—Before moving a gateway to another Cisco UBE gatekeeper within CWVM, you must configure the gateway to be registered with the new Cisco UBE gatekeeper (see Adding a Gateway to a Cisco UBE Gatekeeper, for instructions on how to do this). Also, make sure the zone prefix range in the new Cisco UBE gatekeeper covers the gateway's telephone numbers. If the zone prefix does not cover the gateway's telephone numbers, the gateway cannot register those phone numbers with the Cisco UBE gatekeeper, and the phone numbers can be accessed only by explicit dial peers on other gateways.
Note
CWVM does not prevent you from moving the gateway to the new Cisco UBE gatekeeper even if the gateway's phone numbers are not fully covered in the new Cisco UBE gatekeeper. See Configuring a Cisco UBE Gatekeeper, for information on how to add new zones and zone prefixes after the move.
•
From a Cisco UBE gatekeeper to a group—Dial-peer information on the gateway is not automatically propagated to the other gateways in the group.
Saving a Running Configuration to NVRAM
You can use CWVM to save the running configuration of a device to its NVRAM (startup configuration).
Note

Preparing a CME for CWVM
Before you can add a voice router with CME capabilities, you must ensure that CME mode is active and configured. To use the CME setup tool and enable CME on the router:
Router(config)# telephony-service setup
Because Telnet is used to communicate with the router, Session Timeout must be configured to a nonzero value for all vty lines. To configure the router Enable or Enable Secret password:
Router(config)# enable password lab
Use the line password in the line configuration set to enable Telnet:
Router(config)# line vty 0 4
Router(config)# password lab
To configure Session Timeout for all vty lines:
Router(config)# line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)# session-timeout 10
When adding a CME device to CWVM, you must know the IP address or DNS name and any passwords the CME has. CWVM searches the CME, automatically detects the type of interfaces enabled on it, and places it in the appropriate view.

Batch Add Files
You can use batch add files to add multiple groups, Cisco UBE gatekeepers, and devices at one time. For more information on using batch add files, see the following topics:
•
Creating a Batch Add File
•
Importing a Batch Add File
Creating a Batch Add File
You can use a batch file to add multiple groups, Cisco UBE gatekeepers, and devices, to CWVM at one time. To do so, create a text file containing a text entry line for each group, Cisco UBE gatekeeper, or device you want to add. Each line must appear under one of the block labels shown in Example 3-1, as appropriate for the item you are adding, and must be formatted using the corresponding line format. Thus, for each:
•
Group, you must create a line under the [group] block.
•
Cisco UBE directory gatekeeper, you must create a line under the [directorygatekeeper] block.
•
Cisco UBE gatekeeper, you must create a line under the [gatekeeper] block.
•
Device of any other type, such as a VoIP (including all voice gateways and CME- or SRST-enabled routers), VoFR, or VoATM device, you must create a line under the [router] block.
Note
To ensure that CWVM can import the batch file, create the file with the correct permissions:
•
On Solaris—root permission or casuser permission
•
On Windows—full permission or casuser permission
Example 3-1 Batch Add Blocks and Line Formats
GroupName, NetworkName, Description (optional)
DeviceAddress, NetworkName, DirectoryGatekeeper (At least one of NetworkName or
DirectoryGatekeeper is mandatory), SNMPReadCommunity, SNMPWriteCommunity (optional),
LoginUser (optional), Password (optional), EnablePassword (optional),
IPAddressOfHSRPBackup (optional), TechPrefixes (optional, multiple colon separated)
DeviceAddress, NetworkName, DirectoryGateKeeper (At least one of NetworkName or
DirectoryGatekeeper is mandatory), SNMPReadCommunity, SNMPWriteCommunity (optional),
LoginUser (optional), Password (optional), EnablePassword (optional),
IPAddressOfHSRPBackup (optional)
DeviceAddress, GroupName, GatekeeperDeviceAddress (At least one of GroupName or
GatekeeperDeviceAddress is mandatory), SNMPReadCommunity, SNMPWriteCommunity (optional),
LoginUser (optional), Password (optional), EnablePassword (optional), TrapFlag (optional,
y|any), PollFlag (optional, y|any)
To skip optional parameters, replace them with commas. For example dgk1, net1,,public,,user,passwd,,,1#:2# would be a correctly formatted Cisco UBE directory gatekeeper entry line with the optional DirectoryGatekeeper, SNMPReadCommunity, EnablePassword, and IPAddressOfHSRPBackup parameters skipped.
Example 3-2 shows a properly formatted batch add text file. Note that the block labels can appear in any order. For readability, create only one label of each type in the file, and put lines for all items of that type under that block label.
Example 3-2 A Typical Batch Add File
172.20.118.4,Group1,,public,private,CWVM,cisco,cisco,y,n
172.19.50.70,Group1,,public,private,CWVM,cisco,cisco,n,y

Synchronizing Devices
The sync device command updates device information in CWVM to reflect changes you make to the voice port or dial plan on a device through the CLI. You can synchronize gateways, Cisco UBE gatekeepers, and CME or SRST devices.
When you manually change a gateway or Cisco UBE gatekeeper, you must synchronize the gateway or Cisco UBE gatekeeper to update CWVM. You can also manually synchronize devices if you do not want to wait for the next scheduled synchronization.
Procedure
Step 1
From the tree, right-click a gateway or Cisco UBE gatekeeper. A popup menu appears.
Step 2
Select Sync with Device.
Step 3
Click Yes. The device is updated in CWVM, and the CWVM status window displays messages about the synchronization.
Whenever CWVM discovers new, unmanaged VoIP capabilities on a device, or discovers that a previously enabled capability has been removed, it displays information about these new or removed capabilities along with synchronization messages in the CWVM status window.
