the Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy.

 

port] uc-ime-interfaceuc-ime-interface_name

Specifies the interface and listening port for the

 

Example:

 

hostname(config-uc-ime)# mapping-service

ASA mapping service.

 

listening-interface inside listening-port 8060

You can only configure one mapping server for the

 

uc-ime-interface outside

 

 

Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy.

 

 

Where interface_name is the name of the interface

 

 

on which the ASA listens for the mapping requests.

 

 

Where port is the TCP port on which the ASA listens

 

 

for the mapping requests. The port number must be

 

 

between 1024 and 65535 to avoid conflicts with

 

 

other services on the device, such as Telnet or SSH.

 

 

By default, the port number is TCP 8060.

 

 

Where uc-ime-interface_nameis the name of the

 

 

interface that connects to the remote Cisco UCM.

Configuring the Cisco UC-IMC Proxy by using the UC-IME Proxy Pane

Use the Configure Cisco Intercompany Media Engine (UC-IME) proxy pane to add or edit a Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy instance.

Note The Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy does not appear as an option under the Unified Communications section of the navigation pane unless the license required for this proxy is installed on the ASA.

Use this pane to create the proxy instance; however, for the UC-IME proxy to be fully functionally, you must complete additional tasks, such as create the required NAT statements, ACLs, and MTA, set up the certificates, create the TLS Proxy, and enable SIP inspection.

Depending on whether the UC-IME proxy is deployed off path or in-line of Internet traffic, you must create the appropriate network objects with embedded NAT/PAT statements for the Cisco UCMs.

This pane is available from the Configuration > Firewall > Unified Communications > UC-IME Proxy.

Step 1 Open the Configuration > Firewall > Unified Communications > UC-IME Proxy pane.
