show archive log config provisioning– this actually parses the command into a config that can be copied and pasted in.

Here’s a link to a pretty daunting PDF that Cisco put out about their own IPT implementation. Reader beware, this is definately not for the faint of heart.

This is a set of instructions that someone had posted to install CallManager on hardware other than their “certified” equipment for testing.

Step 1: Download a Windows utility called FDIMAGE.EXE. You can find this on pretty much any UNIX/ Linux site.

Step 2: Insert the CallManager Hardware Detect CD-ROM into the system

Step 3: Insert a blank floppy disk

Step 4: Open up a DOS window and type fdimage d:\bootimg.bin a:. This will copy the boot image from the Hardware detect CD-ROM to the floppy.

Step 5: On the floppy, edit the autoexec.bat file and change the following:
locate sssksys.ini
add:set XIMAGE=x345
goto IBMx345

Step 6: Reboot and make sure the a: is setup as yoru boot drive. Also ensure the CD is still in there.

Step 7: Everything after this is business as usual.

Found this handy command within Cisco docs. It especially comes in handy on bloated 6500’s, however, it doesn’t matter if you don’t put descriptions on your interfaces and vlan’s.

show interface description
or
sh int desc
