Chapter 2 Provisioning

Configuration and Provisioning Solution Components

The gateways and gatekeepers that comprise the H.323 voice network send fault and performance data directly to the fault and performance processing applications (Cisco CNS Notification Engine, Cisco Info Center, and Cisco CNS Performance Engine). Protocols for transporting this data include SNMP, Syslog, and RADIUS.

CMNM is a self-contained fault, configuration, performance, and security (FCPS) Element Management System (EMS) for the PGW 2200. It can stand on its own or operate in conjunction with the fault and performance components of the Cisco VoIP: Infrastructure Manager Solution. CMNM can send performance data to the Cisco CNS Performance Engine through periodic FTP uploads and can transmit fault data directly to the Cisco Info Center using the CEMF probe described in detail in Chapter 4, “Fault Management.” Cisco PTC sends provisioning commands to the PGW 2200 elements through the Voice CORBA interface in CMNM provided by CEMF.

Cisco Packet Telephony Center

The Cisco Packet Telephony Center provides a Management Solution for large-scale H.323 networks. Cisco PTC provides network management layer functionality and manages the network through Element Management Systems (EMSs), or through the network element's management interface (for example, SNMP or Command Line Interface (CLI)). Cisco PTC maintains a repository of the data, consisting of customer and services information, for the managed network. This repository is used to configure the network, provision new services, and to detect network layer configuration inconsistencies.

Refer to the Cisco Packet Telephony Center User Guide for an overview of the Cisco PTC domain manager as well as other useful information about the product.

For a Cisco H.323 VoIP network composed of VoIP gateways and gatekeepers, Cisco PTC is integrated with Cisco VRC.
