Cisco Exam 300-810 Topic 4 Question 106 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-810 exam

Question #: 106
Topic #: 4

An organization wants to run on-premises instant messaging (IM), and resilience is important because this is a business-critical application for them. The organization has three locations with Cisco UCM clusters in each location. Which additional configuration is needed to meet these requirements?

AExpand the Cisco UCM cluster with Cisco IM and Presence nodes in each location

BConfigure IMP functionality in Cisco UCM with failover. Cisco IM and Presence servers are not needed from systems release 14 X and newer.

CDeploy a central Cisco IM and Presence server at one central location because users will log in to Cisco UCM in case of a failover

DDeploy a minimum of two Cisco IMP servers per location, with one publisher and one subscriber connected to the existing local cluster.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The logs don't directly address this question, but based on best practices for on-premises IM and Presence with Cisco UCM:

Disaster recovery and failover are crucial for business-critical applications like IM.

Deploying two Cisco IMP servers (one publisher, one subscriber) per location provides redundancy within each location's Cisco UCM cluster.

While Cisco UCM can potentially handle some IM functionality without a separate IM and Presence server in newer versions, Cisco IMP offers a more robust solution with features like disaster recovery.

I'd go with D. Redundancy is the name of the game, and you can't spell 'resilience' without 'IM and Presence'.

Option D, because two is better than one. Gotta have that backup, am I right?

Option D is the way to go. Redundancy is key, and having a minimum of two IMP servers per location is the best way to achieve that.

Having a publisher and subscriber connected to the existing local cluster ensures that the IM service remains available even if one server goes down.

I'm leaning towards A. Expanding the Cisco UCM cluster with Cisco IM and Presence nodes in each location seems the most straightforward approach to ensure resilience.

B seems the easiest solution, but I'm not sure if Cisco UCM 14.X and newer really don't need the Cisco IM and Presence servers. Better double-check that.
