Collaboration Preferred Architecture (CPA)
What products to use to enable users for Unified
Communications for simple deployments.

Prescriptive Concise Tested best


recommendations Documents practices

• Preferred Architecture provides prescriptive design guidance that simplifies and drives design
consistency for Cisco Collaboration deployments
• Preferred Architecture can be used as a design base for any customer using modular and
scalable approach
• Preferred Architecture team provides feedback on solution level gaps to product teams
• Preferred Architecture will help you scale!

Preferred Architecture Strategy
• Collaboration Preferred Architecture is broken into five sub-systems which
• Makes the overall architecture easier to understand
• Allows products to be categorized based on function
• Within each sub-system create prescriptive architecture of recommended products and design
best practices

Sub-Systems:

Call Control
Network Conferencing Edge Applications
IM&P

Summary
• Combine QoS tools, media resilience and dynamic adaptation to build a self-regulating
system that makes optimal use of available network resources
• Leverage rate adaptation and media resilience mechanisms in managed network to deploy
pervasive video. Prioritized video for room system and hard endpoints, opportunistic video for
Jabber endpoints.
• Use CAC when and where needed
• When managing bandwidth with Media Resilience and Rate Adaptation techniques is not an option
(i.e. extreme contention on WAN bandwidth)

Call Control
Design Objectives

• Call control is centralized at a single location that serves multiple remote sites
• Multiple call control systems as iterations of the centralized call control model

• Management and administration are centralized


• Common telephony features are available across voice, video endpoints and Jabber clients

• Single call control and a unified dial plan are provided for voice, video endpoints and Jabber
clients
• Critical business applications are highly available and redundant

Deployment Considerations: Numeric Dial Plan

• Use +E.164 as DN addressing


• Benefit: ensure uniform phone number formatting across all enterprise contacts
• Use XXXX abbreviated intra-site dialing
• Benefit: allow abbreviated dialing for intra-site calls
• Use sitecode based abbreviated inter-site dialing
• e.g.: 8+<site code>+<extension>
• Benefit: use a normalized approach for inter-site calls
• Non-DID addresses in line with sitecode based abbreviated inter-site dialing
• Unique addresses
• Addtl. sitecodes per site or non-overlapping extensions

SIP Trunking Design

© 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 20

20
SIP Trunking Recommendations
• Minimize number of SIP profiles
• Consider default profiles first
• avoid per-trunk SIP profiles
• provision SIP profile per group of equivalent trunks

• Recommended SIP profile settings:


• “Use Fully Qualified Domain Name in SIP Requests” set on all trunks and for video enabled
endpoints; prevents IP address of Unified CM to show up in host portion of URIs in calling identity
headers
• Enable SIP OPTION ping for real-time status monitoring
• SIP trunk redundancy achieved by provisioning
multiple peer user agents per trunk (Unity Connection,
Conductor, Expressway-C)

Multi Cluster scenario
Cisco Unified CM Dial Plan

• Intercluster Lookup Service (ILS) was introduced in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Release 9
• Provides an overlay network between UCM clusters to facilitate information exchange
• SIP URI replication was the first application for ILS
• Addresses issue of same domain multicluster URI routing
• UC Release 10 adds support for exchange of numeric call routing information
• Simplifies configuration in large deployments based on dynamic exchange of numeric call routing
information

Expressway-C Firewall Expressway-E Firewall
Signaling
Media
1. Expressway-E is the traversal server installed in DMZ. Expressway-C is the traversal client installed inside the
enterprise network.

2. Expressway-C initiates traversal connections outbound through the firewall to specific ports on Expressway-E with
secure login credentials.

3. Once the connection has been established, Expressway-C sends keep-alive packets to Expressway-E to maintain the
connection

4. When Expressway-E receives an incoming call, it issues an incoming call request to Expressway-C.

5. Expressway-C then routes the call to Unified CM to reach the called user or endpoint

6. The call is established and media traverses the firewall securely over an existing traversal
