Question: 2

Which two statements about the Peer Firmware Sharing option for IP phone firmware distribution are true? (Choose two.)

A. This option uses a parent-child hierarchy in which a firmware image is downloaded by a parent phone to up to three directly associated child phones.

B. This option must be enabled on Cisco Unified Communications Manager service parameters for Cisco TFTP.

C. This option mandates that the parent phone and child phones be identical, selected phone models.

D. This option allows firmware transfers between phones in different subnets, as long as the round-trip delay is less than 5 milliseconds.

E. This option uses a parent-child hierarchy that must be manually defined by the Cisco Unified Communications Manager administrator.

F. This option allows falling back to the TFTP server in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.

Answer: C, F

Explanation:

Peer Firmware Sharing works by setting up a parent-child hierarchy of the phones in which a firmware image is downloaded by the parent phone to a child phone. The advantage of using Peer Firmware Sharing is that instead of all phones individually retrieving a software image, they pass the image along from one phone to another phone on the same subnet.

Advantage of PFS:

Hierarchy is automatic

One download per phone model on a subnet

Uses TCP

Fails back to TFTP

Speeds up LAN upgrades

Reduces TFTP CPU load during upgrade

Configuration of adapters (such as Cisco VIC, 3rd-party CNA / NIC / HBA) is design-dependent and not included in TRC definition.

Design, installation and configuration of external hardware is not included in TRC definition, such as:

Network routing and switching (e.g. routers, gateways, MCUs, ethernet/FC/FCoE switches, Cisco Catalyst/Nexus/MDS, etc.)

QoS configuration of route/switch network devices

Cisco UCS B-Series chassis and switching components (e.g. Cisco UCS 6100/6200, Cisco UCS 2100/2200, Cisco UCS 5100)

Storage arrays (such as those from EMC, NetApp or other vendors)

Configuration settings, patch recommendations or step by step procedures for VMware software are not included in TRC definition.

Infrastructure solutions such as Vblock from Virtual Computing Environment may also be leveraged for configuration details not included in the TRC definition.

Question: 5

Which capability is support by LLDP-MED but not by Cisco Discovery Protocol?

A. LAN speed discovery

B. network policy discovery

C. location identification discovery

D. power discovery

E. trust extension

Answer: A

Explanation:

LLDP-MED supports both LAN speed and duplex discovery. Cisco Discovery Protocol supports duplex discovery only, but this limited support is not seen as a problem because if there is a speed mismatch, LLDP-MED and Cisco Discovery Protocol cannot be exchanged and thus cannot be used to detect the mismatch.

A. 3

B. 4

C. 5

D. 8

E. 16

Answer: D

Explanation:

There is no deployment difference between CUCM & CUCM session management Edition cluster. The only difference is that CUCM SME is designed to support a large number of trunk to trunk connections. Thus, 8 subscribers.

Question: 11

Which two SCCP call signaling messages are initiated by Cisco Unified Communications Manager to an IP phone? (Choose two.)

A. SoftKeyEvent

B. CloseReceiveChannelAck

C. CallState

D. KeypadButton

E. OpenReceiveChannel

F. Offhook

Answer: C, E

Explanation:

Upon receiving an OpenReceiveChannelmessage, the IP phone selects the UDP port number it wants to use to receive RTP packets and reports this information to call manager.

With the SCCP protocol architecture, the majority of the H.323 processing power resides in an H.323 proxy — the Cisco CallManager. The end stations (IP phones) run the Skinny client, which consumes less processing overhead. The client communicates with CallManager using connection-oriented (TCP/IP-based) communication to establish a call with another H.323-compliant end station. Once Cisco CallManager has established the call, the two H.323 end stations use connectionless (UDP/IP-based) communication for audio transmissions.

Question: 12

Which two SCCP call signaling messages are sent by an IP phone to Cisco Unified Communications Manager? (Choose two.)

A. SoftKeyEvent

B. OpenReceiveChannelAck

C. StartMediaTransmission

D. SelectSoftKeys

E. CloseReceiveChannel

F. StopTone

Answer: A, B

Explanation:

This message indicates which soft key was pressed. Upon receipt of this message, CallManager invokes the action associated with the pressed soft key. For example, if Hold was the pressed soft key, CallManager places the active call on user hold. In some trace files you might see a soft key number without the corresponding description. The following list defines each soft key number.

Question: 13

Company ABC is planning to migrate from MCS-hosted Cisco Unified Communications Manager applications to Cisco UC on UCS B-Series servers. Which statement about installation media support is true for this migration?

A. The install log can be written to a USB flash drive that is attached to the UCS server.

B. The answer file that is generated by the Answer File Generator (platformConfig.xml) can be read from a USB flash drive to perform an unattended installation on the UCS server.

C. The Cisco Music on Hold USB audio sound card can be mapped to a virtual USB port on a VMware virtual machine on the UCS server.

D. The answer file that is generated by the Answer File Generator (platformConfig.xml) can be read from an FLP image that is mounted in a virtual floppy drive.

E. The Cisco Music on Hold USB audio sound card can be mapped to a virtual serial port on a VMware virtual machine on the UCS server.

Answer: D

Explanation:

Using the AFG will allow you to get this license mac before even touching the server. It is provided after filling in the main form of the AFG but it can also be found by looking at the last few lines of your platformconfig.xml file.

Once you have the xml files, you will need to map those to the floppy drive of the VM (no usb support on the VM OVA). There are many ways to do this. I simply use a freeware virtual floppy app that I drop the platformconfig.xml file on and then copy the*.flp image out to the datastore. I’ll end up with a directory on my datastore called AFG that has the host named *.flp images that I will use during install. It also serves as archival of these files in the event the server needs to be re-imaged. This is important because the license mac will change if every parameter is not entered exactly as it was prior. If the license mac changes, you will have to go through the process of requesting new license files to be generated.

Question: 14

Which statement about the Cisco UC on UCS TRC and the third-party server specs-based virtualization support model is true?

A. Both the UC on UCS TRC and the third-party servers spec-based support models have rule-based approaches.

B. The UC on UCS TRC support model has a rule-based approach and the third-party servers spec-based support model has a configuration-based approach.

C. The UC on UCS TRC support model requires a high level of virtualization experience while the third-party server spec-based support model requires a low to medium level virtualization experience.

D. VMware vCenter is mandatory for the UC on UCS TRC support model but it is optional for the third-party server spec-based support model.

E. VMware vCenter is optional for the UC on UCS TRC support model but it is mandatory for the third-party server spec-based support model.

Answer: E

Explanation:

VMware vCenter is

optional when deploying on UC on UCS Tested Reference Configuration hardware

mandatory when deploying on UC on UCS Specs-based and Third-party Server Specs-based hardware.

vCenter Statistics Level 4 logging is mandatory so that Cisco TAC is able to provide effective support.

Click here for how to configure VMware vCenter to capture these logs. If not configured by default, Cisco TAC may request enabling these settings in order to provide effective support.

Also note that enablement of specific VMware vSphere management features may require vCenter and/or a higher feature Edition of vSphere ESXi.

Cisco Collaboration does not require its own dedicated vCenter.

Note that when VMware vCenter is not required and is not used, then VMware vSphere ESXi's default management interface is its free/included VMware vSphere Client (formerly branded VI Client).

Question: 16

Which capability is supported by Cisco Discovery Protocol but not by LLDP-MED?

A. LAN speed and duplex discovery

B. Network policy discovery

C. Location identification discovery

D. Power discovery

E. Trust extension

Answer: E

Explanation:

Cisco Discovery Protocol provides an additional capability not found in LLDP-MED that allows the switch to extend trust to the phone. In this case, the phone is now trusted to mark the packets received on the PC port accordingly. This feature can be used to off-load the switch because now it does not need to police the information being received from the phone.

Question: 17

Which two mechanisms does Cisco EnergyWise use for neighbor discovery? (Choose two.)

A. multicast

B. LLDP-MED

C. UDP broadcast

D. Cisco Discovery Protocol

E. TCP

Answer: C, D

Explanation:

Cisco EnergyWise Neighbor Discovery Process

The Cisco EnergyWise neighbor discovery process is the mechanism by which domain members discover each other and populate their Cisco EnergyWise neighbor tables. Cisco EnergyWise queries can subsequently be distributed to all domain members using the neighbor relationships to monitor and control the power usage of devices within a domain. Cisco EnergyWise domain members automatically discover their neighbors through one of two mechanisms:

Cisco EnergyWise UDP broadcast packet

Cisco EnergyWise CDP packets

UDP broadcast packets are automatically sent out switch ports which support Cisco EnergyWise, regardless of whether the interfaces are configured with the no energywise interface-level command. CDP packets are sent when CDP is configured for the switch ports.

Question: 20

Which statement describes a disadvantage of using the Cisco TFTP service to serve IP phone load files?

A. The Cisco TFTP services can run on only one Cisco Unified Communications Manager server in a cluster.

B. Because TFTP operates on top of UDP, there is a high risk of corrupted load file delivery at the completion of the TFTP process due to undetected data loss in the network.

C. If a response is not received in the timeout period, the TFTP server will not resend the data packet.

D. Packet loss can significantly increase the TFTP session completion time.

E. Because TFTP operates with an adaptive timeout period, the time to complete the file transfer is unpredictable.

Answer: D

Explanation:

Voice traffic cannot recapture lost packets. Rather than retransmitting a lost network connection, the phone resets and attempts to reconnect its network connection.
