CME Exercise #1

I tried something like this earlier this year with STP.  It got rave reviews (from my mother), so I figured I try it again.  

Below is a list of requirements for configuring a router as a call processor.  In a lab or in your head, configure the router to support the features as listed.  This isn't a contest or anything like that.  If you get it right, a virtual thumbs up is all I can afford to give you.  There are some licensing issues for running this stuff in GNS3/dynamips, so I can't help you out on that.  I'll just hint that GNS3 and dynamips will bind to real networks and that copies of a compatible IP softphone are available.

Here we go.

• Telephony
  • Maximum of 10 DNs
  • Maximum of 5 ephones
  • DHCP server that provides the appropriate DHCP scope option for getting the phones online
• Phones
  • Phone 1
    • Sales Phone A
    • Button 1: extension 1001

    • Button 1: extension 1003
    • Button 2:  monitor button 1 on phone 1
    • Button 3: intercom to phone 1 labeled as "Boss" that answers unmuted
    • Pickup Group 3002
• Paging
  • Each department should have its own paging group.
  • All phones should be in a paging group for broadcasting emergencies to all employees.
• Call Parking
  • 2 call parking DNs
  • 1 CP DN should be dedicated to phone 2
• Music on Hold
  • MOH should play when a user is on hold or in a park slot
• After-hours
  • After hours should be Mon – Fri from 7pm to 7am
  • No one should be able to dial 1003 after hours
  • No one should be able to dial 1002 any day at any time

I'll get my own answer together and post the consensus result in a few days.  In the meantime, let me know how terribly I did.

Send any unlicensed CIPC phones questions my way.
