Callmanager Express (CME) 4 on a GNS3 router
Hi,
Today I managed to get CME working on a GNS3/Dynamips router.
The steps that I followed:
- Create a new GNS3 Project
- Get the IOS version “c3725-adventerprisek9_ivs-mz.124-15.T6.bin”
- Get the CME files “cme-full-4.3.0.0.tar”
- Create a new 3700 router
- Edit the properties and change the PCMCI disk0 space to 99MB

- Create a cloud with a breakout to your real network with the Ethernet NIO interface

- When that is done connect 1 of the router interfaces to the NIO Cloud interface

- Start the Router
- Assign an IP address to the routers interface (the one that is connected to the NIO/LAN breakout interface) and if neccesary also put in a default gateway.
- Set up an TFTP server where you will put the “cme-full-4.3.0.0.tar” file on
- Make sure you can ping the TFTP server from the router (so that the TFTP server is accesable from the router)
- Do a “erase flash:” on the router
- Do a “format flash:” on the router in order to create a DOS filesystem
- Issue the follwing command
(X = TFTP server IP address or DNS name)
- From this moment on all files will be extractes into the routers flash.
- Before you can start you need to issue the following commands on the router
ip http authentication local
no ip http secure-server
ip http path flash:/gui
!
username cisco privilege 15 secret cisco
!
telephony-service
web admin system name cisco secret cisco
dn-webedit
time-webedit
!
When this is done you can access the CME trough the browser with http://router-ip/telephony-service.html
