SwitchA# configure terminal

SwitchA(config)# vlan 10

SwitchA(config-vlan)# name VOICE

SwitchA(config-vlan)# exit

SwitchA(config)# vlan 50

SwitchA(config-vlan)# name DATA

Step 1.2. Assign Switchport to a VLAN

SwitchA# configure terminal

SwitchA(config)# interface fa0/10

SwitchA(config-if)# switchport mode access

SwitchA(config-if)# switchport access vlan 50

Step 1.3. Assign Voice and Data VLANs

SwitchA# configure terminal

SwitchA(config)#interfac range fa0/1 - 4

SwitchA(config-if-range)# switchport mode access

SwitchA(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 50

SwitchA(config-if-range)# switchport voice vlan 10

Step 1.4. Con gure a Trunk to the CME Router

SwitchA# configure terminal

SwitchA(config)# interface fa0/20

SwitchA(config-if)# description CONNECTION TO ROUTER-ON-A-STICK CME ROUTER

SwitchA(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

SwitchA(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

Step 2. Con gure Inter-VLAN Routing

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# interface fa0/0

Router(config-if)# no ip address

Router(config-if)#exit

Router(config)# interface fa0/0.10

Router(config-subif)# description ROUTER INTERFACE FOR VOICE VLAN

Router(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 10

Router(config-subif)# ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0

Router(config-subif)# ip helper-address 172.16.2.5

Router(config-subif)#exit

Router(config)# interface fa0/0.50

Router(config-subif)# description ROUTER INTERFACE FOR DATA VLAN

Router(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 50

Router(config-subif)# ip address 172.16.2.1 255.255.255.0

Step 3. Con gure a Router-Based DHCP Server

RTR# configure terminal

RTR(config)# ip dhcp excluded-address 172.16.1.1 172.16.1.9

RTR(config)# ip dhcp excluded-address 172.16.2.1 172.16.2.9

RTR(config)# ip dhcp pool DATA_SCOPE

RTR(dhcp-config)# network 172.16.2.0 255.255.255.0

RTR(dhcp-config)# default-router 172.16.2.1

RTR(dhcp-config)# dns-server 4.2.2.2

RTR(dhcp-config)# exit

1/6/2021 Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express - Cisco

RTR(config)# ip dhcp pool VOICE_SCOPE

RTR(dhcp-config)#netowrk 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0

RTR(dhcp-config)# default-router 172.16.1.1

RTR(dhcp-config)# option 150 ip 172.16.1.1

RTR(dhcp-config)# dns-server 4.2.2.2

Step 4. Set the Clock of a Cisco Device with NTP

RTR# configure terminal

RTR(config)# ntp server 64.209.210.20

RTR(config)# clock timezone Cairo +2

Step 5. Install CME Files into Flash Memory
