[cisco-voip] SNMP management Call Manager server

[Erik Erasmus (E)]

Barry -- exactly what I was thinking 

The problem with the second nic -- I was under the impression that the
second nic - if not teamed with the first one has to be shut or am I
on the wrong track. Get the feeling Cisco does not like using the
second nic unless it is teamed with the first one and sourcing the
same IP address - main IP the call manager is using

Hi Erik

Your managed service partner shouldn't be requesting this kind of
change
to your network.  I would be asking some hard questions of them if
they
need you to change your IP's.

You could configure the second NIC as another IP but to be honest I
would just look for someone else to look after the kit!

Hi

 

Deployed a call manager solution for a customer. Used private
addressing
for the phones, voice gateways and Call Manager / Unity voicemail. The
customer now wants to outsource the management of the IPt elements of
the solution. One of the partners they contacted told them that they
will have to use public IP addressing on the Call Manager server and
voice gateways in order to allow the partner to manage the solution
from
a central noc at the partner. This should not cause a major problem
for
the voice gateways where one can add a loopback with a public IP to
allow reachability from the NOC without any NAT etc. However, I am not
too sure how this will be handled on Call Manager. The customer is not
keen to have Call Manager on a public IP and also not keen to
re-address
the Call Manager / Unity connection servers so that they can be
managed
from a noc based HP openview / similar platform via SNMP.

 

I know cisco has IP Telephony management products available that can
be
placed onsite at the customer to manage all devices (operations
manager,
service level 

manager etc.). 

 

QUESTION

=========

Without these solutions like onsite ops manger / service level manager
- what options are available to manage call manager via snmp from a
service provider NOC - if possible - without having to change away
from
the private address the customer is using already. I know that NAT and
SNMP causes problems - is this still the case with cisco's
implementation - or would it be possible to have static NATs on a
cisco
router at the customer premises to NAT the Call Manager and Unity
server
IPs to unique public IPs so that they can be managed by a remote noc.

 

Not a network management fundi - any advice will be appreciated.

 

 

 

 

 

Erik
