This is a Cisco Collaboration Lab composed of the following main elements:
- 2 x Cisco CUCM Clusters (PUB, SUB, IMP, UC, AD) version 12.5
- 2 x Cisco PoE Switches (3560v2-PS)
- 2 x Cisco 7945 Phones (Color Screen)
- 2 x Cisco 7942 Phones
Each CUCM Cluster (Cisco Unified Communications Manager) includes 5 main components:
- CUCM Publisher (PUB)
- CUCM Subscriber (SUB)
- CUCM IM & Presence (IMP)
- CUC Unity Connection (UC)
- DNS Server (Windows 2019 VM)
As a Bonus we'll also include the UCCX Software , so that it can be added to each Cluster.
This Lab is already setup to allow Phone Calls between Clusters
Clusters can communicate with each other thanks to the implementation of a SIP Trunk.
Both Clusters are deployed inside a single Dell R620 Server
Server's main specs are: 128GB RAM, 1TB SSD Drive, 2 x Octa-Core CPU's (Xeon E5-2650)
Two Octa-Core CPU's means that there are 16 Cores total (or 32 vCPU's)
VMware ESXi 6.5 is the Operating System being used by the Server.
Kindly note that a Monitor is not provided.
To operate this Server, you will require a Monitor and a Keyboard.
As mentioned previously, we have installed 2 Sets or Clusters of CUCM 12.5 on this Dell Server.
Each CUCM Cluster includes 5 Virtual Machines: PUB, SUB, IMP, UC and Windows 2019 Server
The Windows 2019 Server can be used to configure a Domain Controller (DC) in order to provide Active Directory Domain Services for authentication purposes.
Please be aware that UCCX is not part of the package, but it is possible to add it for an extra fee.
As shown in the Network Diagram, each Cluster also includes:
- 2 x Cisco PoE Switches (3560v2-PS)
- 2 x Cisco 7945 Phones (Color Screen)
- 2 x Cisco 7942 Phones
All Phones could be upgraded at your request.
Clusters are interconnected through a Virtual Router (CSR1000v) and a SIP Trunk
Therefore, this Lab is already setup to allow Phone Calls between Clusters.
In other words, any Phone within this Lab can dial any other Phone, whether it's part of their own Cluster or the other Cluster.
Please note that we need 3-4 days to prepare this item.
