AXP Lab Guide – Sagem (XMedius)

Exercise I: Getting familiar with remote lab, AXP and XMedius application
This activity will familiarize you with the remote lab that will be used to perform AXP hands-on training. The
following activities require you to have a personal computer with a web browser and internet connectivity.

After familiarizing yourself with remote lab you will configure ISR and AXP module and validate connectivity to
other devices on the network. After validating this connectivity you will start with installing Sagem’s XMedius
Fax over IP solution, configuring it and running a simple test to validate the functionality.

NOTE: You should have obtained credentials for this remote lab from your instructor, if you don’t have
credential please speak with your instructor to obtain one.

Task II (Optional)
The objective of this task is to get you familiarized with the configurations required to get AXP module working
within ISR. After completing this task you will be able to meet with the following objectives:

 Successfully configure AXP’s IP address and default gateway

 Successfully configure NTP on ISR and AXP module
 Successfully configure routing table on ISR
 Successful in pinging FTP server from AXP module

Step 1: View / configure ISR and provide AXP an IP address.

Currently in our lab AXP module is pre-configure and you should take a look at the configuration. This
configuration is required to get AXP module up and running. You can erase the current configuration
and reconfigure it with the same information as before however this step is optional.

Router> enable

Router# conf t
Router(config)# interface Integrated-Service-Engine 1/0

Router(config-if)# ip unnumbered FastEthernet0/0

Router(config-if)# service-module ip address 10.10.N.11 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)# service-module ip default-gateway 10.10.N.10
Router(config-if)# end

Note: N is an integer and should be same as the number before the hyphen within the username you entered
while logging in for the first time to labgear.net e.g. if you username starts with P08 then N would be 8,
hence service-module IP address will be 10.10.8.11.

Step 2: View / configure route within ISR for AXP module

Router# conf t
Router(config)# ip route 10.10.N.11 255.255.255.255 Integrated-Service-Engine1/0
Router(config-if)# end

Step 3: View / configure ISR to be NTP master

Router# conf t
Router(config)# ntp master
Router(config)# end

Step 4: Validate previous steps by invoking a session to the AXP module and ping FTP server (10.10.100.100)

Router# service-module Integrated-Service-Engine 1/0 session

Trying 10.10.N.11, 2066 … Open
SE-10.10.N.11> ping 10.10.100.100

Step 5: View / configure clock on AXP

SE-10-10-N-11> conf t
SE-10-10-N-11(config)> ntp server 10.10.N.10 prefer
SE-10-10-N-11> end
SE-10-10-N-11> wr

Task III
The objective of this task is to get you familiarized with the process of installing and configuring Sagem’s
XMedius Fax solution on AXP. After completing this task you will be able to meet with the following objectives:

 Successfully install XMedius software package

 Successfully configure XMedius application

Note: You are required to download and extract VPN client version 4.8.02 from
http://developer.cisco.com/web/axp/docs or http://www-tac.cisco.com/~mdaftary/SEVT-FALL-2009/ to
complete this activity incase your VPN client version isn’t the same. Refer to page 13 of this guide which explains
setup / configuration of a VPN client.

Step 1: Installing XMedius software package

Incase you don’t have an active session to AXP blade do the following. Open a telnet / console session to
the ISR and session into AXP blade and issue the following command shown below. Proceed to the next
step rather than waiting for the blade to reboot.

SE-10-10-N-11> software install add url ftp://10.10.100.100/sagem/training/XMediusFAX-5.6.4.5.pkg

username anonymous password password

Step 2: Configuring XMedius application

Open a browser and enter http://10.10.N.11/faxadmin and login with following username

Step 13: Click on , it appears on the right side of the screen and enter the following information as
shown below and click on Submit.

NOTE: It doesn’t matter what number you enter since we don’t have an actual fax machine hooked on the
network and we are using loopback configuration. Also this fax will get sent to your Outlook inbox since
we can configured a default rule stating that any undelivered fax should be sent to your email address
i.e. Step 12.

Step 14: You should now see a Fax submitted message. Click on Return to Fax status and you should see an
outgoing message in your Outgoing Queue.

Step 15: Wait for a minute and click on Inbound History and Outbound History and you should see the fax
message details. Technically you should receive an email but Cisco Exchange Server’s security blocks
emails from our remote lab hence the mails will get filter and dropped. However this will work in an
actual Enterprise.

Step 16: Similarly you can go back to your faxadmin URL i.e. http://10.10.N.11/faxadmin and click on Sites -> My
Organization -> Inbound History or Outbound History and see the details of the fax.
