Enhanced authentication policy
Authentication policy can now be applied at the zone and subzone levels. It controls how the Cisco
VCS authenticates incoming messages from that zone or subzone and whether those messages are
rejected or are subsequently treated as authenticated or unauthenticated within the Cisco VCS. This
provides increased flexibility and allows system administrators to:

provides increased flexibility and allows system administrators to:
control registrations via subzones; this allows, if required, a combination of authenticated and
unauthenticated endpoints to register to the same Cisco VCS
unauthenticated endpoints to register to the same Cisco VCS
limit the services available to unregistered or unauthenticated endpoints and devices
cater for endpoints from third-party suppliers that do not support authentication within their
registration mechanism through a “treat as authenticated” setting

External policy services
The Cisco VCS can use external policy services to manage its registration and call policies.
This is particularly suitable for large-scale deployments where policy decisions can be managed
through an external, centralized service rather than by configuring policy rules on the Cisco VCS itself.

Secure communication between cluster peers
The Cisco VCS uses IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) to enable secure communication between

each cluster peer.
Authentication is carried out via a pre-shared access key (configured on the Clustering page).
View registrations and calls across a cluster
You can now view all of the registrations and calls across a cluster from any one of the peers in the
cluster. A Peer column on the registrations and calls status pages identifies the relevant peer.

Client-initiated connection management
Support has been implemented for RFC 5626 (known as “SIP Outbound”). This allows a UA to route
calls when a peer in a cluster has failed, and also allows a UA to close all listening ports ensuring all
calls can only be routed via their existing (authenticated, authorized) connection to the Cisco VCS.

Starter Pack enhancements
The Cisco VCS Starter Pack Express supports device provisioning for E20 and Ex series
endpoints. Multiway and TURN settings are provisioned to endpoints where supported.

Additional call license option keys can be added to extend the default limit of 5 concurrent calls.
You can restrict users from adding, deleting or modifying their own devices.
