MPLS traffic engineering requires a certain amount of bandwidth available in order for tunnels to be setup. Here we look at an example of what happens when there are too many tunnels and not enough bandwidth.

R2 is connected to R4, R5 and R6 via point-to-point frame relay interfaces. We will create MPLS TE tunnels from these 3 routers to R1.

OSPF, LDP and MPLS traffic-engineering for tunnels have already been enabled globally and on all interfaces.

Something new candidates may have to address during the CCIE Voice version 3 lab exam is the way in which the messages button, used to access voicemail, is provisioned.

The voicemail port wizard, voicemail pilot and voicemail profile are all necessary as has been the case in previous versions of Communications Manager. However, access to Intercom, Directories and Voicemail (through the Messages button) are now provisioned as XML services and not through Enterprise Parameters.

During installation there should be a set of services which are installed automatically. You can check which services have been installed on your UCM 7.x by browsing from the UCM web GUI to Device > Device Settings > Phone Services. You should see a list of services that include Missed/Received/Placed calls, Corporate/Personal Directory, Intercom and Voicemail. If for any reason you are missing any one of these services that should be installed by default you will have to go through the procedure of restoring that service.

The procedure to restore standard services is explained in the UCM 7.x Release Notes which can be found here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/rel_notes/7_0_2/cucm-rel_notes-702.html

Just to give you a example of what is required, to restore the VoiceMail service you will have to ssh into the Publisher UCM and run the following command:

run sql insert into telecasterservice (pkid,Name,NameASCII,Description,URLTemplate,tkPhoneService,EnterpriseSubscription,Priority) values('ca69f2e4-d088-47f8-acb2-ceea6722272e','Voicemail','Voicemail','Voicemail','Application:Cisco/Voicemail',2,'t',1)

Now in the lab exam you can either go about remembering this simple command or reference the Release Notes
