	Command	Purpose

Step 1	hostname(config)# class-mapclass_map_name	Defines a class for the inbound Cisco Intercompany
	Examples:	Media Engine SIP traffic.
	hostname(config)# class-map ime-inbound-sip

Step 2	hostname(config-cmap)# match access-list	Identifies the SIP traffic to inspect.
	access_list_name	Where the access_list_name is the ACL you
	Examples:	Where the access_list_name is the ACL you
	hostname(config-cmap)# match access-list	created in Step 3, page 20-15of the task Creating
	ime-inbound-sip	ACLs for Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy.

Step 3	hostname(config-cmap)# exit	Exits from the class map configuration mode.

Step 4	hostname(config)# class-mapclass_map_name	Defines a class for the outbound SIP traffic from
	Examples:	Cisco Intercompany Media Engine.
	hostname(config)# class-map ime-outbound-sip

Step 5	hostname(config)# match access-listaccess_list_name	Identifies which outbound SIP traffic to inspect.
	Examples:	Where the access_list_name is the ACL you
	hostname(config-cmap)# match access-list	Where the access_list_name is the ACL you
	ime-outbound-sip	created in Step 4, page 20-15of the task Creating
		ACLs for Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy.

Step 6	hostname(config-cmap)# exit	Exits from the class map configuration mode.

Step 7	hostname(config)# policy-mapname	Defines the policy map to which to attach the actions
	Examples:	for the class of traffic.
	hostname(config)# policy-map ime-policy

Step 8	hostname(config-pmap)# class classmap_name	Assigns a class map to the policy map so that you
	Examples:	can assign actions to the class map traffic.
	hostname(config-pmap)# class ime-outbound-sip	Where classmap_name is the name of the SIP class
		Where classmap_name is the name of the SIP class
		map that you created in Step 1 in this task.

Step 9	hostname(config-pmap-c)# inspect sip [sip_map]	Enables the TLS proxy and Cisco Intercompany
	tls-proxyproxy_name uc-imeuc_ime_map	Media Engine Proxy for the specified SIP inspection
	Examples:	session.
	hostname(config-pmap-c)# inspect sip tls-proxy	session.
	hostname(config-pmap-c)# inspect sip tls-proxy
	local_to_remote-ent uc-ime local-ent-ime

Step 10	hostname(config-cmap-c)# exit	Exits from the policy map class configuration mode.

Step 11	hostname(config-pmap)# class class_map_name	Assigns a class map to the policy map so that you
	Examples:	can assign actions to the class map traffic.
	hostname(config-pmap)# class ime-inbound-sip	Where classmap_name is the name of the SIP class
		Where classmap_name is the name of the SIP class
		map that you created in Step 4 in this task.

Step 12	hostname(config-pmap-c)# inspect sip [sip_map]	Enables the TLS proxy and Cisco Intercompany
	tls-proxyproxy_name uc-imeuc_ime_map	Media Engine Proxy for the specified SIP inspection
	Examples:	session.
	hostname(config-pmap-c)# inspect sip tls-proxy	session.
	hostname(config-pmap-c)# inspect sip tls-proxy
	remote-to-local-ent uc-ime local-ent-ime

Step 13	hostname(config-pmap-c)# exit	Exits from the policy map class configuration mode.
