Syntax Description

Parameters Description
process

The new database replication . Ensure that the value is between 1 and 40.

Default value: 1

Command Modes

Administrator (admin:)

Usage Guidelines

utils dbreplication setrepltimeout

This command sets the timeout for database replication on large clusters.

utils dbreplication setrepltimeout timeout

Syntax Description

Parameters Description
timeout

The new database replication timeout, in seconds. Ensure that the value is between 300 and 3600.

Default value: 300 (5 minutes)

Command Modes

Administrator (admin:)

Usage Guidelines

After the first subscriber server requests replication with the publisher server, the system sets this timer. After the timer expires, the first subscriber server, plus all other subscriber servers that requested replication within that time period, begin data replication with the publisher server in a batch. If you have several subscriber servers, batch replication is more efficient than individual server replication. For large clusters, you can use the command to increase the default timeout value, so that more subscriber servers are included in the batch.


Tip
Cisco recommends that you restore this value back to the default of 300 (5 minutes) after you finish upgrading the entire cluster, and the subscriber servers have successfully set up replication.

Note
After you upgrade the publisher server and restart it on the upgraded partition, you should set this timer value before you switch the first subscriber server to the new release. After the first subscriber server requests replication, the publisher server sets the replication timer based on the new value.

enable

Enables a secure connection between the FileBeat client and the logstash server.

utils fips


Caution

FIPS mode is only supported on releases that have been through FIPS compliance. Be warned that FIPS mode should be disabled before you upgrade to a non-FIPS compliance version of Unified Communications Manager.

For information about which releases are FIPS compliant and to view their certifications, see the FIPS 140 document at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/industries/government/global-government-certifications/fips-140.html.

This command enables, disables, or displays the status of FIPS 140-2 mode. FIPS 140-2 mode is disabled by default; only an administrator can enable FIPS.

utils fips {enable | disable | status}

Syntax Description

Parameters Description
enable

Activates FIPS 140-2 mode.
disable

Deactivates FIPS 140-2 mode.
status

Displays the status of FIPS 140-2 mode.

Command Modes

Administrator (admin:)

Usage Guidelines

Before enabling FIPS mode, we recommend that you perform a system backup. If FIPS checks fail at start-up, the system halts and requires a recovery CD to be restored.

Consider the following information before you enable FIPS 140-2 mode:

  • When you switch from non-FIPS to FIPS mode, the MD5 and DES protocols will not be functional.

  • After FIPS mode is enabled on a server, please wait until the server reboots and the phones re-register successfully before enabling FIPS on the next server.

  • In FIPS mode, the IM and Presence service uses Red Hat Openswan (FIPS validated) in place of Racoon (non-FIPS validated). If the security policies in Racoon contain functions that are not FIPS approved, the CLI command asks you to redefine the security policies with FIPS approved functions and abort.


Note

Certificates and SSH key are regenerated automatically, in accordance with FIPS requirements.

Consider the following information before you disable FIPS 140-2 mode: In multiple server clusters, each server must be disabled separately; FIPS mode is not disabled cluster-wide but on a per server basis.

Consider the following information after you enable FIPS 140-2 mode: If you have a single server cluster and chose to apply "Prepare Cluster for Rolback to pre 8.0" enterprise parameter before enabling FIPS mode, disable this parameter after making sure that all the phones registered successfully with the server.

Consider the following information before you enable or disable FIPS 140-2 mode for IM and Presence Service: After you enable or disable FIPS 140-2 mode for IM and Presence Service, the Tomcat certificate is regenerated and the node reboots. The Intercluster Sync Agent syncs the new Tomcat certificate across the cluster; this can take up to 30 minutes. Until the new Tomcat certificate is synced across the cluster, an IM and Presence Servicee subscriber node cannot access information from the IM and Presence Service database publisher node. For example, a user who is logged into the Cisco Unified Serviceability GUI on a subscriber node will not be able to view services on theIM and Presence Service database publisher node. Users will see the following error message until the sync is complete: Connection to server cannot be established (certificate exception)

utils fips_common_criteria

Parameters Description
enable

Enables the Common Criteria mode in the system

disable

When Common Criteria mode is disabled, a prompt is displayed to set the minimum TLS version.

status

Displays the status of Common Criteria mode in the system

Command Modes

Administrator (admin:)

Usage Guidelines

Secure connections using TLS version 1.0 are not permitted after enabling the Common Criteria mode. FIPS mode will be enabled while enabling Common Criteria mode. Enabling or disabling  Common Criteria mode does not require certificates to be regenerated. However, enabling or disabling FIPS does require certificates to be regenerated.

utils ntp auth symmetric-key

utils ntp auth symmetric-key {enable | disable | status}

This command helps you enable or disable authentication of the selected NTP server. The authentication is based on symmetric keyID and key. The symmetric key is stored in the encrypted format in Unified Communications Manager.

utils ntp server delete

This command deletes NTP servers that are configured.

utils ntp server delete

Command Modes

Administrator (admin:)

Usage Guidelines

This command allows you to delete a configured Network Time Protocol (NTP) server or multiple NTP servers. When you choose the server to delete, you are prompted to indicate if you want to restart the NTP service. If you choose no, the NTP service does not get restarted after the server is deleted.


Note

It is required to have at least 1 NTP server configured. Therefore, you cannot delete an NTP server if only one is configured. If you select the option to delete all the NTP servers, the NTP servers are deleted in top down order and the last NTP server on the list does not get deleted. The process is similar to the top down order followed during utils ntp config or utils ntp status

Requirements

utils remotesyslog set protocol tls

This command configures the protocol for communication with remote syslog server as Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 on the system. TLS 1.2 enables Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service to establish a secure connection with syslog servers. This enables Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service to comply with Common Criteria guidelines.


Note

  • Ensure that the syslog server supports TLS 1.2 protocol as a secure connection will be established only if the syslog server supports TLS 1.2 protocol.

  • In Common Criteria Mode, strict host name verification is implemented. Hence, it is required to configure the server with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) which matches the certificate.

Restart the node for changes to take effect.
