Configuring the Engineering Group Siemens CEP Devices

If a Siemens phone is inserted into a port enabled for Siemens CEP, the firmware detects communication on UDP/TCP port 4060. Use policy manager to configure a policy with a VLAN, CoS, and rate limit appropriate to VoIP. See Quality of Service (QoS) Configuration for a QoS VoIP policy configuration example. Once an existing policy is configured, the set cep policy command can be used to apply the policy

The following CLI input:

  • Enables CEP globally on the switch.
  • Sets CEP policy to a previously configured policy named siemens with an index of 9.
  • Sets ports ge.1.16-18 to only accept default Siemens type phones and applies the Siemens policy to the specified ports.
  • Enable the quarantine and auto-tracking agents on ports ge.1.16 through ge.1.18
    System(rw)->set cep enable
    System(rw)->set cep policy siemens 9
    System(rw)->set cep port ge.1.16-18 siemens enable
    System(rw)->set quarantine-agent port enable ge.1.16-18
    System(rw)->set auto-tracking port enable ge.1.16-18

This completes the Siemens CEP end-user stations configuration.
