Some components of the software created for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2.x are provided through open source or commercial licensing. These components and the associated copyright statements can be found at:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/legal/open-source-documentation-responsive.html.
· Release 10.2
The following features and enhancements are introduced in Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2.x:
· Patch Upgrade—You can install a patch file on an existing major release version of Cisco Unified SIP Proxy starting with Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2.x. This helps you upgrade to a newer patch version of the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy within the same major release version without any modifications to your existing virtual machine. For example, you can upgrade from Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2.x to Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2.1_v1 or Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2.1_v1 to Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2.1_v2.
For detailed information on patch upgrade, see Installation Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2. For details on installing patch using CLI, see CLI Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2. For details on installing patch using GUI, see GUI Administration Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2.
· Updates to minimum password length and password policy—Passwords should be at least 8 to 64 alphanumeric characters in length. However, there is no limit on the maximum length of the password. The administrator has the privileges to provision a user with password length that is higher than the minimum length. For example, a user can have password of length 65 alphanumeric characters.
· SFTP File Transfer— The Cisco Unified SIP Proxy now uses Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) for transferring device configuration and templates to and from external networks. Functions such as patch upgrade, back up and restore, upload and copy of system configuration files and logs between CUSP server and external servers are performed only through secured FTP. Please note that FTP is deprecated from release 10.2.x.
· GUI SIP Logging - As a general guideline enabling the SIP message logging feature can have a significant performance impact on your system. Cisco advises not to enable it for extended periods and recommends using SIP CLI logging instead.
Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2.3 onwards, while enabling GUI SIP logging, a prompt will appear stating Enabling SIP Logging will impact performance of CUSP Do you want to continue?- If all system resources are in good condition(CPU, Disk Space & Memory), GUI SIP logging can be enabled.
However, if any of the system resources are insufficient, a warning prompt will appear stating System Resources are not at good state to proceed this action!!. The same is applicable for Failed Calls Log as well.
Note:
· Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2.3 onwards, to facilitate GUI SIP logging, the application performs validations to assess system resources (CPU, Disk space, Memory Utilizations) and If any one of these metrics goes beyond the threshold value, GUI SIP Logging cannot be enabled.
· If GUI sip logging enabling fails because of high memory utilization metric, it could also be a false alarm attributed by Linux Operating System Memory management design which allows buffer and cache component to grow until total utilization reaches 97-98%. it may indirectly cause Total Memory Utilization metric to spike and may prevent a user to leverage GUI SIP Logging. Total Memory utilization metric here also includes memory used by Buffer & Cache, which is under Operating System purview and not CUSP application.
· In such cases, it is recommended to continue using SIP logging via CLI. Additionally, Admin is advised to monitor CUSP application-specific Active Memory (via “show memory” command in EXEC mode) instead to ensure it doesn't keep growing and exceeds a certain threshold. Active Memory provides a more accurate CUSP centric memory utilization metric to monitor.
· If an Admin has a strong dependency over GUI SIP Logging, or the CUSP centric Active Memory metric continues to grow beyond a certain threshold (seen via “show memory” command in EXEC mode), it is advised to work with Cisco Support to evaluate and vet CUSP’s system health and overall resource utilizations.

· show sip peg-count log <number of lines>
Ex: show sip peg-count log 40.
clear tomcat-log
To remove rotated tomcat log files (catalina.out-timestamp), use the clear tomcat-log command in Cisco Unified SIP Proxy configuration EXEC mode.
clear tomcat-log
Syntax Description
This command has only keywords and no arguments.
Command Modes
Module EXEC
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to remove rotated tomcat log files (catalina.out-timestamp) when the disk utilization is greater than 80%, in order to keep the system disk utilization under control. If disk utilization is less than 80%, rotated tomcat log files cannot be removed from the system.
The following examples show the clearing of rotated tomcat log files.
Scenario 1: Below example is applicable if disk utilization is greater than 80%.
se-10-0-0-0# clear tomcat-log
!!!WARNING!!!:Before clearing the log files , it is recommended to take back up of rotated tomcat log files from SFTP Server if not taken!!
Those log files are necessary for troubleshooting!!!
Are you sure you want to clear rotated tomcat log files?[confirm]y
Successfully removed rotated tomcat log files
Scenario 2: Below example is applicable if the disk utilization is less than 80% and rotated tomcat log files can’t be removed in this scenario from the system.
se-10-0-0-0# clear tomcat-log
Disk Utilization is 5%
Rotated Tomcat log files can not be removed if disk utilization is less than 80%
show sip peg-count log
To display SIP peg-counting log, use the show sip peg-count log command in module CUSP mode
show sip peg-count log
Syntax Description
This command has only keywords and no arguments.

Migration to Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.2.x
Note: Data and configuration from an earlier release must be restored from an SFTP server using the absolute path to the backup files. For more details on how to configure the backup server, see Backup and Restore Data section of the CLI Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2
Migration from Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 8.x
You can migrate from an existing Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 8.x releases to Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2. However, the following are the limitations during the migration:
· Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2 cannot be installed on SRE Module. You require VMWare ESXi platform to install Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2.x.
· Existing Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 8.x SWIFT licenses cannot be migrated to Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.2.x. Contact your Cisco partner or reseller to enquire about the purchase of current licensing.
· The backup configuration files from Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 8.x release do not have the network-related configuration as the Cisco SRE module gets the relevant information through RBCP protocol from the host router when it powers up. Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.2.x does not support RBCP communication. So, if a backup configuration from Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 8.5.x release is restored in Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.2.x, you must manually enter and configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway details during the reload as follows:
o Ensure that you have console access to the VM of virtual Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.2.x, while you are restoring the configuration of 8.x on 10.2.x.
o After the restore is completed, reload the module as per the instructions on the screen.
o Immediately after the reboot is completed, access the console with your username and password.
o Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway as follows:
cusp#configure terminal
Enter configuration command, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
cusp(config)#interface FastEthernet 0
cusp(config-interface)#ip address 10.65.125.187 255.255.255.128
cusp(config)#ip default-gateway 10.65.125.129
SYSTEM ONLINE
cusp(config)#exit
cusp#wr mem
· After the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy is online, re-associate the users to groups with password reset and test remote access using SSH.
cusp#configure terminal
cusp#username cisco group Administrators
cusp#username cisco password cisco
cusp#wr mem
· Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 8.x release configuration has multiple sub-interfaces. The sub-interface format in Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2.x is different from that in Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.x. You must configure these interfaces manually after the reload is complete.
· Listen points are not restored as it requires the IP address of the virtual Cisco Unified SIP Proxy. So, you must manually configure the listen points after restoring the back up from the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 8.x release.
· SIP Ping configuration is not restored as it requires the IP address of the virtual Cisco Unified SIP Proxy. So, you must manually configure SIP Ping configuration on Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.2.x release after restoring the backup from the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 8.x release.
Following are the steps to migrate from any of the existing Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Releases to Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.2.x:
