Cisco CIPT2 8.0: Centralized Call-Processing Redundancy Implementation

Overview/Description
The capability to use centralized call-processing devices that are located at remote sites depends on the availability of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) at the main site. To provide these devices with a backup, you can use Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) fallback and Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST). This course describes the mechanisms for providing call survivability and device failover in remote sites. It describes how to configure Cisco IOS routers as Cisco Unified SRST gateways and how to use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CUCME) in Cisco Unified SRST mode.

Target Audience
Anyone wishing to obtain the Cisco Certified Network Professional CCNP Voice designation that validates the skills and knowledge required in order to create a voice solution that is transparent, scalable, and manageable. Established IT professionals with a good understanding of networking and Cisco technology, the basics of digital interfaces, PSTN, and VoIP, fundamental knowledge of converged voice and data networks, and the ability to configure Cisco IOS gateways with traditional and VoIP call legs. Candidates who have completed the Cisco Certified Network Associate Voice (CCNA Voice) Certification which is obtained by completing the Introducing Cisco Voice and Unified Communications Administration 640-461 (ICOMM) v8.0 exam. Candidates who have completed the Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Part 1 (CIPT1) v8.0 (642-447) exam.
