It goes without saying that GNS3 has eased things alot. In this tutorial, i will show step-by-step how you can setup your Call Manager Express (CME) router’s Graphical Interface (GUI) using GNS3 and use it for router’s configuration.CME GUI will give you similar look and feel like SDM.Both are web based management tools with different functionalities.
CME GUI extends well into Cisco Unity Express(CUE) management if you have physical router with CUE-module in it. Unfortunately, CUE cannot be simulated here .Once you setup basic parameters using CLI, web interface will help you in long run.
BASIC IOS CONFIGURATIONS:
- –>ip http server
- –>ip http path flash:
- –>telephony-service
- –>web admin system name admin password cisco
- –>dn-webedit
- –>time-webedit
CME GUI URL :

I can get up and running with your instructions, however my flash is erased every time I stop the router. My startup-config is saved, but flash doesn’t. Any ideas?
