It used to be that DNS was an afterthought for most CUCM deployments, many engineers advocated at one point or another just using an IP address rather than dealing with the system team who could either be extremely cooperative or extremely slow.
Those days are GONE, my friends.
Every bit of UC software you use should be properly configured with DNS.
Infact, anywhere you CAN use DNS, you should be using it.
The main driver for this is definitely Jabber, I can't count the number of things that can go wrong with Jabber if you do not have your DNS configured correctly.
If you absolutely must get a system up very rapidly and the sysadmin team have been very slow to get there side finished, you can use a router as a temporary DNS server:
The config for this is shown below:
conf t
ip domain-name
ip dns server
ip name-server 8.8.8.8 4.4.2.2
ip host _cisco-uds._tcp.ccierants.com srv 0 10 8443 cucm01.ccierants.com
ip host cucm01 192.168.1.10
ip host unity 192.168.1.20
ip host imp 192.168.1.30
ip host _cuplogin._tcp.ccierants.com srv 0 10 8443 imp.ccierants.com
As you can see from the example above, you can use the host command to specify manual DNS entries, you can even do SRV records etc, the only records i can't seem to see are CNAME records, but for our purposes this does not matter.
You can then point your UC servers to this router as there DNS server as a temporary workaround while you wait for the system administration team.
Just bear in mind that changing your DNS settings will change your licensing MAC.

DeleteHi Peter,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog while trying to troubleshoot an issue with a new user and their EM Home-cluster problems on a single-cluster site. I jsut want to say thanks for that post! I'm doing my first build of a CUCM, CUC and IMP cluster and was wondering why you find it best to keep the DNS entries? What are the benefits here over going straight IP? My colleague who has done these for many years stated specifically to alter the DNS entries for the various enterprise services on CUCM so I'm very interested in your methodology here.
Thanks very much again,
Dan

Hi Peter
ReplyDeleteI wrote a longer post, but seems to have been lost...
On a recent deployment, I was fortunate to have an extended engagement with the Cisco BU dial plan team when completing a mult-cluster design. Even in 11.x, CUCM does not support DNS caching. So for SIP Trunking in CUCM, multiple dotted IP Addresses are probably still the way to go! Only time this changes will obviously be with a secure connection where certificates come into play.
That being said, I pretty much use DNS SRVs on all CUBE dial-peers, IM and Presence etc as far as I can. Don't think I've deployed a cluster without DNS for ages.
CNAMEs also are great, and as best practice with CVD. Great for end users with a simple "www" address pointing to the pub.
Thanks for the excellent article Peter. Just to clarify are you saying in CUCM under System/Cisco Unified CM the best practice is to leave that as a hostname and not change it to the IP address? What about the URLs in the Enterprise Parameters? Also leave that as hostnames? I have always configured DNS on CUCM (DNS name and DNS server IP) but I remove the reliance on DNS from the Cisco Unified CM and the Enterprise Parameters. Will this cause an issue with Jabber?
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Kevin

When attempting for a tough certification like 1Z0-987 exam, the quality of the study material can never be compromised.
ReplyDeleteI downloaded 1Z0-987 real exam dumps after a satisfied study and investigation about the reliability of this stuff.
Now after getting passed in my Oracle Cost Management Cloud 2017 Implementation Essentials 1Z0-987 I have come to know the actual value of 1Z0-987 braindumps. I suggest the same for all IT candidates of all type of IT certifications exams preparation material.
