[cisco-voip] Cisco CUP to OCS federation/integration

[Mike Wilusz]

Lelio,

You have more options than CUPS and OCS, especially if you¹re looking at
extending this to your student populations.  Licensing OCS or CUPS for all
those users would be $$$$$!    You may be better off offering a
cheap/no-cost IM solution to the students that allows open federation to
other networks.  Students use this and it federates to whatever they needs
to talk to (AIM, Gtalk, MSN...), and with CUPS 8.0 you¹ll be able to
federate between the student IM server and the CUPS server for the teachers.
No sense using OCS or CUPS with all the tie-ins to the phone system for all
those students who don¹t operate IP phones.

I'm interested in hearing about the nightmare. We are considering CUPS vs
OCS as a future project, but from what I heard, CUPS can not federate with
MSN (yet). Since 99% of our first year students use MSN, I'm leaning towards
an OCS implementation with whatever integration we can do with CUCM (+CUPS).
We might have fewer features with OCS w/ CUCM than with CUPS w/ CUCM, but if
the strategic goal is to allow our students access to faculty/staff via IM,
then i'm not sure we have too much of an option.

Re: [cisco-voip] Cisco CUP to OCS federation/integration I did a CUPS to OCS
federation setup.  You definitely do not need to use an ASA.  Follow the
CUPS doc and you¹ll be fine from that side.  OCS is a nightmare but it will
work.  We ditched OCS and are going with a total CUPS implementation.

Has anyone done a CUP to OCS federation/integration?
 
I¹m looking for good documentation because Cisco¹s doc wiki just keeps
running me in circles?
 
 It says I need an ASA to do this and I can¹t believe I need an ASA to link
OCS to CUP in the same company.
