Chapter 21 Configuring Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy

Configuring Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy

Note You cannot change any of the configuration settings for the Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy described in this procedure when the proxy is enabled for SIP inspection. Remove the Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy from SIP inspection before changing any of the settings described in this procedure.

 

Command

 

Purpose

 

 

 

 

Step 1

hostname(config)# uc-imeuc_ime_name

 

Configures the Cisco Intercompany Media Engine

 

Example:

 

Proxy.

 

hostname(config)# uc-ime local-ent-ime

 

Where uc_ime_name is the name of the Cisco

 

 

 

 

 

 

Intercompany Media Engine Proxy. The name is

 

 

 

limited to 64 characters.

 

 

 

Only one Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy

 

 

 

can be configured on the ASA.

 

 

 

 

Step 2

hostname(config-uc-ime)# media-termination

 

Specifies the media termination instance used by the

 

mta_instance_name

 

Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy.

 

Example:

 

Note You must create the media termination

 

hostname(config-uc-ime)# media-termination

 

 

ime-media-term

 

instance before you specify it in the Cisco

 

 

 

Intercompany Media Engine Proxy.

 

 

 

Where mta_instance_name is the instance_name

 

 

 

that you created in Step 1 of Creating the Media

 

 

 

Termination Instance.

 

 

 

See Creating the Media Termination Instance,

 

 

 

page 21-17for the steps to create the media

 

 

 

termination instance.

 

 

 

 

Step 3

hostname(config-uc-ime)# ucm address ip_address

 

Specifies the Cisco UCM server in the enterprise.

 

trunk-security-mode [nonsecure secure]

 

You must specify the real IP address of the Cisco

 

Example:

 

UCM server. Do not specify a mapped IP address for

 

hostname(config-uc-ime)# ucm address 192.168.10.30

 

 

 

the server.

 

trunk-security-mode non-secure

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note You must include an entry for each Cisco

 

 

 

UCM in the cluster with Cisco Intercompany

 

 

 

Media Engine that has a SIP trunk enabled.

 

 

 

Where the nonsecure and secure options specify the

 

 

 

security mode of the Cisco UCM or cluster of Cisco

 

 

 

UCMs.

 

 

 

Note Specifying secure for Cisco UCM or Cisco

 

 

 

UCM cluster indicates that Cisco UCM or

 

 

 

Cisco UCM cluster is initiating TLS;

 

 

 

therefore, you must configure TLS for

 

 

 

components. See (Optional) Configuring

 

 

 

TLS within the Local Enterprise,

 

 

 

page 21-27.

 

 

 

You can specify the secure option in this task or you

 

 

 

can update it later while configuring TLS for the

 

 

 

enterprise. See Step 11 in (Optional) Configuring

 

 

 

TLS within the Local Enterprise, page 21-27.
