This integration enables IM and Presence Service users in one enterprise domain to exchange presence
information and Instant Messaging (IM) with users in external domains.
information and Instant Messaging (IM) with users in external domains.
Supported Systems
IM and Presence Service, Release 9.1.1 or later, supports XMPP federation with the following enterprises:
n
Cisco WebEx Messenger Release 7.x.
n
IBM Sametime Release 8.2 and 8.5.
n
Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.x.
n
IM and Presence Service Release 9.x or later.

Any other server that is XMPP-standards compliant.
Note: IM and Presence Service does not support XMPP federation between IM and Presence Service
Release 9.x enterprise and a Cisco Unified Presence Release 7.x enterprise.
Release 9.x enterprise and a Cisco Unified Presence Release 7.x enterprise.
Note: If you wish to enable XMPP federation with an external domain, ensure that the external domain was
not previously configured as a SIP federated domain on Cisco Unified Presence.
Example: A Cisco Unified Presence deployment with example.com was historically configured as a SIP-
based federation. But example.com has now added XMPP support, so the local administrator instead wishes
to enable an XMPP-based federation. To allow this, the local administrator must first delete example.com as
a SIP-federated domain on Cisco Unified Presence.

When IM and Presence Service is federating with WebEx Enterprise, it is not possible for WebEx Connect
client users to invite IM and Presence Service users to temporary or persistent chat rooms. This is due to a
design constraint on the WebEx Connect client.

To allow the IM and Presence Service to federate over XMPP, you must enable and configure XMPP
federation on IM and Presence Service, following the procedures described in this guide.

If you have multiple IM and Presence Service clusters, you must enable and configure XMPP federation on
at least one node per cluster. The XMPP federation configuration must be identical across clusters. The
