Step by Step Installation and Initial Configuration

The order of installation follows the plan below:

1. Install and configure the Cisco CNS IE2100 appliance with a subnet IP address.

2. On the CMNM host, install the Cisco MGC Node Manager application, including:

a. Voice Services Provisioning Tool.

b. CEMF 3.2.

c. CiscoView upgrade if necessary.

d. Cisco MGC Node Manager (server).

3. On the Cisco PTC/Cisco VRC host, install Cisco PTC, version 2.1.1, integrated with Cisco VRC,

version 1.1.

Once the applications are installed, they are started, and then checked for running processes on each

machine.

It is highly recommended that you obtain all of the Installation and User Guides referenced in the

“Related Documents” section, for Cisco CNS IE2100 Series, CMNM, and Cisco PTC/Cisco VRC.

Althoughlengthy, these guides provide a clear, organized way to approach preparing for, obtaining, and

installingthe various application software. There are many interdependencies that make the deployment

of this management software non-trivial. This chapter makes many references to the User and

Installation Guides, as well as the other collateral referenced in the “Related Documents” section.

You may wonder why the installation information is repeated in this chapter when it is available in the

other guides as well. In fact, the installation information in this chapter is mostly copied from the

individual User and Installation guides of the different applications adding little that is new or specific

to this chapter. The answer is that this chapter is detailing a solution that incorporates at least five

different applications and devices. So, instead of pointing you to the many guides, requiring that you

either read the guide electronically and activate the various links or much typing of URLs into web

browsers, we wish to create a guide that can be accessed either in soft or hard copy that is somewhat

complete in itself.

Somewhatcomplete means that the “official” User and Installation guides cover every situation that the

developers could envision, whereas this guide is specifically pointed at a certain solution and

deployment and can be less detailed than the guides that accompany the application.

TheCisco CNS Configuration Registrar refers to the application, while the Cisco CNS IE2100 appliance

is a specificdevice that makes use of the application software. The Cisco CNS Configuration Registrar

is a self contained, Linux based application, which runs on a one RU, rack mount, IBM host. In

preparationfor installation, the Cisco CNS IE2100 appliance should be rack mountedand connected to

the management network through its Ethernet port.
