  1. Expressway-C
  2. Expressway-E
  3. Redundancy
  4. Mobile and remote access (MRA)

Expressway-C

  • core
  • manual endpoint config for SIP registration
  • bridge between SIP and H.323, between IPv4 and IPv6

Expressway-E

  • edge
  • SIP TURN implementation
  • multiplexes flows into single session
  • 2 ports on FW: RTP and RTCP

Redundancy

  • cluster, up to 6 nodes
  • RTT 30 ms

Mobile and remote access (MRA)

  • register on CUCM through Expressway – no VPN required
  • SIP only
  • DNS SRV: points to Expressway-E
    • _collab-edge._tls.<domain>
    • secure SIP: _sips._tcp.<domain>
  • _cisco-uds._tcp.<domain> is resolved ≡ internal network, point to CUCM
