Security, Management, and Troubleshooting

Domain 4, Security, Management, and Troubleshooting, tests whether you can harden the edge and then prove where a call broke. Questions mix configuration facts with a diagnostic scenario, so know the controls and the evidence each tool gives you.

Security controls

  • Signal with SIP TLS on 5061 and media with SRTP; both endpoints must trust the same CA chain.
  • On Expressway, keep E in the DMZ, restrict inbound to published ports, and let C initiate traversal outbound.
  • On CUBE, apply SIP ACLs, TLS, SRTP, and toll-fraud controls: block international and premium patterns in the CSS, restrict after-hours calling, and rate-limit.
  • Disable unused services and change default credentials on every edge node.

Management

  • Control Hub handles Webex Calling provisioning, licensing, and analytics.
  • RTMT and CDR/CMR analysis cover Unified CM and UCM Cloud call detail.
  • Expressway diagnostics, plus CUBE show commands and conditional debug ccsip messages, give signaling detail.
  • Certificate expiry and trunk registration are the two most common silent failures; monitor both.

Troubleshooting method

Work the layers in order: DNS resolution, certificate trust, TCP port, registration, dial-plan match, then media. Capture a SIP ladder on both sides of CUBE before changing anything.

Worked example

Calls from Webex Calling through a local gateway connect but have one-way audio. Signaling is healthy because the call rings and answers, so the fault is media. Check that the CUBE RTP range is open in both directions, that SRTP is offered consistently on both legs (a mismatch may need an MTP), and that the firewall is not timing out the UDP stream. The fix is usually a missing port range or a codec/SRTP policy mismatch, not a dial pattern.

Traps

  • Running heavy debugs on a production CUBE at peak; use conditional debugs instead.
  • Assuming a 200 OK proves media is flowing.
  • Overlooking expired certificates because the trunk still appears registered.
  • Treating a dial-plan failure as a network failure; check CSS and translation output first.
  • Forgetting that Control Hub analytics and RTMT show different halves of a hybrid call.
