Cisco Wireless VoIP Configuration

G. Polanski VOIP Project CNT-2722-01 Foundations of IP Telephony

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the use of a Cisco 7921G Wireless phone. The activity includes the following components.

• Cisco Call Manager Express
• Cisco Wireless Lan Controller and Cisco 1242 access point
• Cisco 7921G wireless phone
• Cisco 3560 Switch

Calls. Calls were established between the wireless phone, x7616, a VOIP phone, x7618, and an analog phone, x6007.

VLANS

Five VLANs are used to emulate a business environment. Two wired vlans support voice and data. Three wireless vlans support wireless data, wireless voice, and a guest wireless network. A sixth vlan is used to configure the Wireless LAN Controller. The vlans and address values are listed below.

• 100 Wireless Mgmt Vlan 172.16.100.0/24
• 110 Data VLAN 172.16.106.0/24
• 111 Voice VLAN 172.17.106.0/24
• 112 Wireless Data VLAN 172.16.116.0/24
• 113 Wireless Voice VLAN 172.17.116.0/24
• 114 Wireless Guest VLAN 172.16.126.0/24

Layer 3 Switch

The Cisco 3560 switch, TELSW1-DLS1, provides layer 3 routing to the wired vlans, and POE to the access point and to the Cisco IP Phones. The switch is connected to the router via a routed port. EIGRP is used as the routing protocol in the switch and the router. The router is the DHCP server, so the switch is configured with an IP helper address to forward the DHCP requests to the router.

Port Configuration

The following text summarizes the port configuration in the 3560 switch. The phrase, "mls qos", enables Cisco quality of service in the 3560 switch. The phrase, "quto qos voip cisco-phone", enables QoS on the access ports. These phrases correspond to Activity 7.7, IP Telephony QoS Considerations.

Router

The router provides several functions • Cisco Call Manager Express. The CME module controls both the wired phones and the wireless phone. • DHCP. The router is configured to provide DHCP addresses to the wired and wireless vlans. • NTP. The router is the NTP master. • Wireless LAN Controller. The WLAN controller is a module in the switch.

DHCP

The following configuration defines the DHCP services for the devices. • The lease parameters are Days, Hours, Minutes. The wired devices have a lease for one day. The wireless leases are only 6 hours. • Option 43 is applied to the wired data vlan because the Cisco access point is on this vlan. The value defines the address in the wireless lan controller that the access point uses to contact the controller. ip dhcp pool Data-Devices ! description 172.16.100.252 is hex f104ac1064gfc

NTP Master

The router clocks have a battery that keeps time even though the unit is turned off. The command, “set calendar” command sets this clock. The phrase “ntp master” in the configuration sets the router as the NTP server for the switch.

Wireless LAN Controller

The Cisco wireless lan controller is used to manage a Cisco 1242 access point as a lightweight AP. The access point tunnels all traffic back to the wireless controller. The three SSIDs follow. The gmp-voice gmp-data gmp-guest

Wireless Controller Configuration -- Trunked

Since the wireless networks support data, voice, and guest networks, the wireless controller connects to the router via a trunked connection. Each SSID in the wireless environment is a different vlan. The following configuration shows the trunking and the subinterfaces in the router.

Wireless Controller Configuration – GUI

Login. The wireless control has an interface for web management. The IP, 172.16.100.251, was assigned as the management address. The SSL connection provides the following interface.

The primary screen summarizes the access points that are connected and wireless clients. In the screen image,below, one access point is connected and one client is connected to the gmp-voice SSID. The IHCC production access points and clients are considered to be ‘rogue’ to the controller.

VLAN Interfaces. Each vlan is assigned an interface and an address. This is done through the “Controller  interfaces” page. In the example, below, the interfaces are named wiredata, wireguest, wirevoice and have addresses, 172.16.116.254, 172.16.126.254, and 172.17.116.254, respectively.

Wireless Profiles/SSIDs. Wireless profiles define the characteristics of the wireless SSID. The following image shows the creation page for a new SSID. The WLAN ID is a unique identifier within the controller. The profile name and SSID are text strings..

The following image shows the three profiles and SSIDs. Here the profile and the SSIDs have the same name.

Voice SSID. The image shows that the profile and SSID, gmp-voice, is associated with the wirevoice interface. Wirevoice is vlan 113 with address 172.17.116.0/24.

The following pages illustrate the Security, QOS, and Advanced configuration options.

Wireless Controller Configuration -- CLI

The initial setup of the controller begins with the command line interface. Since the controller is a service module, the following command sequence starts the connection,. TELRTR1#service-module wlan-controller 1/0 session Trying 172.16.100.254, 2066 ... Open C Warning! Authorized Access Only! User:admin Password:***** (Cisco Controller) >?

The sessions is disconnected via CTRL-Shift-6 and the disconnect command. (Cisco Controller) User:
