The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This chapter describes how to configure the properties of the Unified Communications Manager node.
 Note |
All Unified Communications products such as Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unity Connections, and Cisco IM and Presence, and so on, have only one interface. Thus, you can assign only one IP address for each of these products. |
| Command or Action | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|
|
Step 1 |
Specify a name for the Unified Communications Manager node, and add a description. |
|
|
Step 2 |
Configure the following ports:

Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Ethernet Phone Port |
The system uses this TCP port to communicate with the Cisco Unified IP Phones (SCCP only) on the network.
|
|
MGCP Listen Port |
The system uses this TCP port to detect messages from its associated MGCP gateway.
|
|
MGCP Keep-alive Port |
The system uses this TCP port to exchange keepalive messages with its associated MGCP gateway.
|
|
SIP Phone Port |
This field specifies the port number that Unified Communications Manager uses to listen for SIP line registrations over TCP and UDP. |
|
SIP Phone Secure Port |
This field specifies the port number that the system uses to listen for SIP line registrations over TLS. |
The following table lists the locations where you can configure a host name for the Unified Communications Manager server, the allowed number of characters for the host name, and the recommended first and last characters for the host name. Be aware that, if you do not configure the host name correctly, some components in Unified Communications Manager, such as the operating system, database, installation, and so on, may not work as expected.

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Host Name/ IP Address field in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration |
You can add or change the host name for a server in the cluster. |
2-63 |
alphabetic |
alphanumeric |
|
Hostname field Cisco Unified Communications Manager installation wizard |
You can add the host name for a server in the cluster. |
1-63 |
alphabetic |
alphanumeric |
|
Hostname field in Cisco Unified Communications Operating System |
You can change, not add, the host name for a server in the cluster. |
1-63 |
alphabetic |
alphanumeric |
|
set network hostname hostname Command Line Interface |
You can change, not add, the host name for a server in the cluster. |
1-63 |
alphabetic |
alphanumeric |
 Tip |
The host name must follow the rules for ARPANET host names. Between the first and last character of the host name, you can enter alphanumeric characters and hyphens. |
Before you configure the host name in any location, review the following information:
After you install the Unified Communications Manager publisher node, the host name for the publisher automatically displays in this field. Before you install a Unified Communications Manager subscriber node, enter either the IP address or the host name for the subscriber node in this field on the Unified Communications Manager publisher node.
In this field, configure a host name only if Unified Communications Manager can access the DNS server to resolve host names to IP addresses; make sure that you configure the Cisco Unified Communications Manager name and address information on the DNS server.
Tip |
In addition to configuring Unified Communications Manager information on the DNS server, you enter DNS information during the Cisco Unified Communications Manager installation. |
During the installation of a Unified Communications Manager subscriber node, you enter the hostname and IP address of the Unified Communications Manager publisher node, so that Unified Communications Manager can verify network connectivity and publisher-subscriber validation. Additionally, you must enter the host name and the IP address for the subscriber node. When the Unified Communications Manager installation prompts you for the host name of the subscriber server, enter the value that displays in the Server Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration; that is, if you configured a host name for the subscriber server in the Host Name/IP Address field.
