Important Notes

This section includes important notes related to the testing of Cisco Collaboration Systems Release 10.5(1) and includes the following issues:

- SIP Best Effort Early Offer Feature Setting Changes

- Failure to Add Unified CM Cluster for Collaboration Edge with TLS Verify Enabled If Unified CM Shares Certificate

- Inbound SIP IPv6 Calls From CUBE Over UDP Transport

- Secure SIP Trunk Security Profile Considerations

- Call Preservation Not Supported on Cisco VCS in Mobile and Remote Access Deployment

- Cisco TelePresence TC Software Does Not Attempt Re-provision When Clustered Cisco VCS-E Fails

- Show Connection Status Not Updated After Unified Communications Manager Failover for Jabber in Mobile and Remote Access Deployment

- Endpoint Registration Fails When Cisco VCS Control Becomes OOS

SIP Best Effort Early Offer Feature Setting Changes

To create a SIP trunk that supports early offer, the Early Offer support for voice and video calls field was changed from a check box to drop down option having three values:

- Disabled (Default value)

- Best Effort (no Media Transfer Point (MTP) inserted)

- Mandatory (insert MTP if needed)

For more details see Release Notes for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 10.5(1).

Failure to Add Unified CM Cluster for Collaboration Edge with TLS Verify Enabled If Unified CM Shares Certificate

If a Unified Communications Manager cluster is deployed using a multiserver Tomcat certificate, you cannot add the cluster for mobile remote access to a Cisco TelePresence VCS-C/Expressway-C with the TLS verify mode enabled. To add a cluster to the Cisco TelePresence VCS-C/Expressway-C with TLS verify enabled, specify the first node that is mentioned in the Subject Alternative Name (SAN), or change the order of the SAN items making the Unified Communications Manager the first publisher on the SAN list. However, the issue still remains for the IM and Presence Service cluster, and this cluster must be added with TLS verify mode disabled.

Alternatively, you can disable TLS verify mode for both the Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service clusters. This issue is resolved with the release of Cisco TelePresence VCS-C/Expressway-C X8.2.

For details about how to add a Unified Communications Manager cluster to a Cisco TelePresence VCS, see your Cisco TelePresence VCS product documentation.

Inbound SIP IPv6 Calls From CUBE Over UDP Transport

In certain conditions, inbound SIP IPv6 calls from CUBE/SIP Gateway over UDP transport exhibit failures. A workaround for this issue is to change the transport from UDP to TCP in outbound dial-peer of IOS gateway.

For more information, see CsCuo71306.

Secure SIP Trunk Security Profile Considerations

For a Cisco Extension Mobility Cross Cluster (EMCC) solution, a Secure SIP Trunk profile cannot be configured on the special EMCC SIP Trunk. This means that Transport Layer Security (TLS) will not be used to encrypt signaling for any calls that are initiated by the Home cluster to a Visiting cluster Local Route Group or PSTN gateway. For more information, see CSCtw76154.

Call Preservation Not Supported on Cisco VCS in Mobile and Remote Access Deployment

Call preservation does not work when endpoints are registered through the Cisco VCS in a mobile and remote access deployment. If the endpoint loses connectivity to Unified Communications Manager during an active call, the endpoint may not "be aware" that its connection to Unified Communications Manager has gone down, and it does not correctly display that it has entered call preservation mode. For more information, see CSCul67670.

Cisco TelePresence TC Software Does Not Attempt Re-provision When Clustered Cisco VCS-E Fails

Cisco TelePresence TC phones registered using mobile and remote access do not attempt to re-provision when a Cisco VCS-e node in the cluster becomes unreachable. This occurs with the following DNS configuration:

- _collab-edge._tls.domain.com SRV record resolves to another hostname -- for example, "vcs-e.domain.com"

- "vcs-e.domain.com" has multiple A records which resolve to different IP addresses

To avoid this, each _collab-edge SRV record should point to one unique server. For more information, see CSCui25299.

Show Connection Status Not Updated After Unified Communications Manager Failover for Jabber in Mobile and Remote Access Deployment

When Jabber is registered using mobile and remote access, the "Connection status" window shows connected address as the primary Unified Communications Manager, even after a Unified Communications Manager fail-over has happened and the client is actually registered to the secondary Unified Communications Manager. For more information, see CSCuo89949.

Endpoint Registration Fails When Cisco VCS Control Becomes OOS

A remote endpoint registered to Unified Communications Manager via Mobile and Remote Access may fail to register if a Cisco VCS Control in the cluster is out of service (OOS) (shutdown, or otherwise unreachable). Restart the endpoint, which will cause it to obtain updated information about the available Cisco VCS Control servers, which will not include the one that is out of service. For more information, see CsCup46518.
