Introduction

This document describes  extension mobility cross cluster feature which is being introduced in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 8.0 and higher releases.

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions

- CUCM 9.X and higher

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Background Information

EMCC Solution

EMCC addresses the problem of extension mobility cross clusters specifies cross-registration. Cross-registration implies these characteristics:

- User from home cluster logs in to a phone at visiting cluster.

- Login procedure conveys the device information into the home cluster database.

- Home cluster database builds a temporary device with user device profile.

- Home cluster TFTP server builds the phone configuration file.

- After login, visiting cluster directs the phone to home cluster TFTP server.

- Phone downloads its TFTP configuration from home cluster (HC) TFTP server and then cross-registers with home cluster Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Configure

1. Service Activation

Navigate to Cisco Unified Serviceability > Tools > Service Activation.

Choose a server, and activate these services by checking the check box next to each service:

- Cisco CallManager

- Cisco TFTP

- Cisco Extension Mobility

- Cisco Bulk Provisioning Service (can activate only on the publisher)
