Introduction

 

This document is intended to guide users to learn more about IPv6 deployment in Voice Over IP Network. This document covers the IPv6 functionality & features on Cisco UC Networks and deployment examples.

IPv6 Innovations in CUCM

 

With the system release of CUCM 7.1 Cisco systems has introduced IPv6 functionality to a range of UC products. Today Cisco Introduces, Voice Over IPv6 ( VoIPv6) feature includes IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack support on voice gateways and MTP, IPv6 support for SIP trunks, and Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP)-controlled analog gateways.The primary focus of this document is on new IPv6 functionality for Cisco UC networks.

 

Cisco Recommendations

 

  • Cisco recommend that IPv6 UC deployments be configured with a dual stack mode.
  • To maximize IPv6 traffic in the UC network, capable Phones, SIP Gateways and SIP should be configured to support IPv6 signaling and IPv6 media

 

IPv6 support in Cisco Unified Communication Devices

 

IPv6 Support in Cisco Unified Communications Devices

 

  • Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.1 and later Releases
    All Cisco Media Convergence Servers (MCS server) platforms

 

  • Cisco IP Phones
    3rd Generation Cisco IP Phones running SCCP only :
    Cisco 7906G, Cisco 7911G, Cisco 7931G, Cisco 7941G, Cisco 7941GE7971G-GE, Cisco 7975G

IPv6 - CUCM Addressing

 

CUCM can support :

• One Link Local Address
• One Unique Local Address or
• One Global Address
• ( and an IPv4 address )

4. IPv6 - UC & Security

RFC “mandates” privacy and encryption using IPSec

•For UC environments SRTP is used as SRTP is specifically crafted for UDP based RTP traffic and has a lower packet overhead.

•CUCM uses TLS and SRTP - No key exchange required as keys are distributed by CUCM

•IPv4 <-->IPv6 MTPs transparently pass SRTP streams

•Phones use built in MIC

5. IPv6 - CUCM Dual Stack Deployment

Figure shows the IPv4 & IPv6 supporting Applications on CUCM Dual stack deployment

 

IPv6-2.bmp

 

•For Dual Stack deployments MTPs are not required as CUCM will select the common addressing type for media i.e. IPv4

•Except for dual stack devices that are forced (via Common Device Configuration setting) to use IPv6 for Media – in which case an MTP is required

Thank you for providing detail IPv6 deployment information.

The following new components will also support dual stack for CUCM 8.6.x or higher:

     • IP phones SCCP: 6901/6911 /6921/6941/6945/6961

     • Cisco Unity Connection using SCCP or SIP trunk IPv6 Interface
