Hi Ananth,

Jonny English quoted Mark Snow from IPexpert as follows.

It was an email from Mark Snow from IPExpert.

Below is a copy of it. these are not my words, its a direct copy of the
email that I searched for in my gmail account and I'm just copying and
pasting the email Mark send Frog.

Hey Frog,

Knowing the UniverCD in the lab can help you immensely - as anyone who
has passed any CCIE lab can tell you.
I recommend taking a bit of time and studying it heavily in order that
you don't even need to think to use it in the lab - that it works for
you as a natural extension of your knowledge.

One great way to find anything on the UniverCD (before the lab) and
then remember where it is for when you sit the actual lab (since
search is blocked in the lab) - is to do this:

go to google.com and do a search such as this (to find TCP/UDP ports
for QoS classification along with the QoS SRND):

<google search>
site:www.cisco.com/univercd/ callmanager ports
</google search>

and it would return you results in which you could see that the 5th
google result is this document

<google result>
Cisco CallManager TCP and UDP Port Usage
Cisco Unified CallManager 5.0 TCP and UDP Port Usage (Revised
9/27/2006) 7 Cisco Unified CallManager 4.2 TCP and UDP Port Usage
(Revised 8/28/2006) ...
www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_callmg/sec_vir/udp_tcp/
Cached - Similar pages - Note this
</google result>

Now while this document 'seems' to be for UCM 5.0 - it takes to a page
containing port usage for 4.1 as well.
Once you have found the document you want on the DocCD - then at the
top of the web page click the "Contents" link to take you up 1 level
of hierarchy.
Now keep doing that until you get to the DocCD home page - and watch
the different colored links - then traverse back down the hierarchy -
and back and forth until you memorize the path to get there.

A few URL's you should know for creating XML IP Services are these:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_callmg/4_1/sys_ad/4_
1_3/ccmfeat/fsem.htm
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_callmg/4_1/sys_ad/4_
1_3/ccmfeat/fsipma.htm

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/sw_ap_to/apps_3_5/engl
ish/admn_app/index.htm
(click on the link for "Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide - Cisco
Desktop Product Suite 4.5(5) (PDF)")

Then in each of these documents hit CTRL-F to do a Find within the
document for:
http://

Some documents such as the IPMA doc may need multiple URLs for (one
for the Manager XML IP Service and one for installing the Assistant
application) - so bear that in mind.

Also bear in mind that since much of the content of the DocCD has been
migrated off onto CCO Documentation area - you WILL be able to access
a document over on CCO - AS LONG AS you see a redirect page like such:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_callmg/3_1/sys_ad/3_
1_2/ccmcfg/index.htm
and ALLOW it to redirect you - DO NOT hastily click on the new link -
this way the caching engine sees the HTTP GET with a Redirect from
within http://www.cisco.com/univercd/ - and not a direct GET call.

Then you can get to links like this:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/admin/3_1_2/ccmcfg/b09pd.

Dear all,
A while ago someone provided a neat strategy to find information on the Doc
CD. He started with a search on Google with site:www.cisco.com to find the
item in univercd. He then worked his way up the univercd tree to find the
Doc CD starting point for the search we could do during the lab.
Unfortunately, I have filed this message in a secret place and have not been
able to find it in the archives. Can anyone point me to this strategy
please?
