Lab 3 - RTP Header Compression
CCNA Voice Lab 3
RTP Header Compression
Lab Objective:
The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how implement Compressed RTP on
Cisco IOS H.323 gateways
Topic Description:
Compressed RTP (cRTP) reduces the RTP header to 2 or 4 bytes. It is used to save bandw idth on WAN
links in VoIP networks
Lab Difficulty:
This lab has a difficulty rating of 5/10
Readiness Assessment:
When ready for your exam, you should be able to complete this lab in no more than 10 minutes
Lab Topology:
Please use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:
Lab 3 Configuration Tasks
Task 1:
Configure the hostnames and IP addresses on R2 and R4 as illustrated in the diagram. Configure R4 to
provide clocking to R2. Configure the clock rate on R4 as 800Kbps
Task 2:
Configure POTS dial peers on R2 using the information in the diagram. You are permitted to use any dial
peer numbers that you want to use
Task 3:
Configure POTS dial peers on R4 using the information in the diagram. You are permitted to use any dial
peer numbers that you want to use
Task 4:
Configure a single VoIP dial peer on R2 to the R4 extension range. You are permitted to use any dial
peer numbers that you want to use. Use SIP as the signaling protocol for the dial peer
Task 5:
Configure a single VoIP dial peer on R4 to the R2 extension range. You are permitted to use any dial
peer numbers that you want to use. Use SIP as the signaling protocol for the dial peer
Task 6:
Configure cRTP on R2 so that it actively compresses all RTP packets
Task 7:
Configure cRTP on R4 so it compresses RTP packets only if it receives compressed packets
Task 8:
Verify your configuration using the appropriate Cisco IOS show commands
Lab 3 Configuration and Verification
Task 1:
R2(config)#hostname R2
R2(config)#interface Serial0/0
R2(config-if)#description .Connected To R4 Serial 0/1.
R2(config-if)#ip address 150.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
R4(config)#hostname R4
R4(config)#interface Serial0/1
R4(config-if)#description .Connected To R2 Serial 0/0
R4(config-if)#ip address 150.1.1.4 255.255.255.0
R4(config-if)#clock rate 800000
Verify connectivity by performing a simple ping betw een the two routers
R2#ping 150.1.1.4
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 150.1.1.4, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/4/4 ms
R4#ping 150.1.1.2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 150.1.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/4/8 ms

Task 8:
The first validation task is to place a call from a Site 1 extension to a Site 2 extension:
R2#show sip-ua calls

Next, verify that RTP traffic is being compressed. To generate RTP traffic, you must have physical access
to the phone and talk, etc, to send packets across the WAN. If you do not have physical access to the
phone, simply use this as a command verification exercise
