Cisco Media Gateway Controller Node Manager Installation Guide

OL-18332-04

Chapter 2      Installing Cisco MNM

Performing a New Installation of Cisco MNM

cd /cdrom/cdrom0

Step 3

Determine your current Cisco EMF version and patch level by entering this command:

./cemfinstall -show

Step 4

Proceed to Step 5 if Service Pack 7, 7.1, and 7.2 are not listed. Otherwise, you can skip this installation 
procedure for Cisco EMF service packs.

Step 5

Start the Cisco EMF installation script using the following command:

./cemfinstall

Step 6

Choose the package to install. 

Note

If you have a Cisco EMF Server installed, you can install only the server patch. If you have a 
Cisco EMF Client installed, you can install only the client patch. 

The installation begins. Wait until the installation is complete. 

This complete the installation procedure for Cisco EMF Service Packs 7, 7.1, and 7.2

Installing the Cisco EMF SSH Add-On Package

To enable SSH support on Cisco MNM running on Solaris 8 or 10, install the CEMF Crypto Add-on 
Package by following the steps in this section:

Note

We recommend installing SSH on Cisco MNM and Cisco VSPT before installing on 
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch so that you can use the element managers to monitor the installation 
process on the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch and other managed components. 

Step 1

Download the CEMF Crypto Add-on Package Software and the CEMF Crypto Add-on Package 
Installation Guide
 available from the network management download page at

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cemf-addon-3des

Step 2

Under the heading, “Cisco Element Management Systems,” click CEMF Strong Cryptographic 
Software

Note

Authorization is required for downloading the cryptographic software. If you do not have 
authorization, you are automatically redirected to an authorization request page.

Step 3

Follow the installation instructions in Chapter 1, “ Cisco EMF Crypto Package Installation and 
Uninstallation” of the CEMF Crytpo Add-on Package Installation Guide.

Note

Make sure the entry of SSH exists in the /etc/services file on the machine where Cisco MNM is 
installed.
