This finalizes the provisioning setup in Cisco TMS. The settings that were configured during this process will
now be replicated to the Cisco VCS or cluster of VCSs by the Cisco TMS Agent. Any future configuration
changes made in the Provisioning Directory UI in Cisco TMS will be replicated to the Cisco VCS or cluster of

The Cisco TMS Agent replicates through a multi-master replication process, meaning that no one database is
the master of all. The Cisco TMS Agents on the Cisco TMSs (if in a Cisco TMS redundant setup) and Cisco
VCSs (if in a cluster) continually check with one another for changes and differences between them. All
provisioning configuration changes must be made via the Cisco TMS Provisioning Directory UI.

The following is an example of a possible provisioning deployment using Jabber Video and E20.
