About the Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (Cisco VCS)
What’s new in this version?
The new features introduced in this release of Cisco VCS software are described below.
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.
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:
n
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
n
limit the services available to unregistered or unauthenticated endpoints and devices
n
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 be configured to use external policy services to manage its registration and call
policies.
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 through the use of 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
The Cisco VCS has implemented support 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.
