[cisco-voip] network roaming and Jabber - does it work?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Darn. I was afraid of this.

I was hoping that it would be something similar to the "place a call on hold for ten seconds" that happens with SNR.

And yes, I was confused with the standalone SNR solution and Jabber ringing at the same time. I think it's handled fairly well with the mobility feature enabled on the dual mode phones. It only rings if the jabber client is not registered.

The worst part of that is the timers, but I think that changes with "user input" vs. "timer" control.

More tests to come....

It does not in my experience.

If you roam and change IP addresses Jabber dies or the call is lost. If you connect through a VPN client and that reconnects fast enough then it maybe works.

I believe that's one of the things that maybe comes in the future is some sort of call anchoring.

The documentation I think recommends mobility and handing the call to your mobile number when you plan to go off net. If you skip the complication of SNR, you will run into people perhaps who have it configured and are using Jabber mobile so it will ring twice and they won't get either call.

The "Transition" to dual mode is a delete and re-do from the self care portal. Not the smoothest, but serviceable.

One of the things we sort of expected to work was Jabber's ability to roam from wifi to cellular data and vice versa, whether it was going to/from on-prem to off-prem, or off-prem to off-prem.

It's something we still have to test and document accordingly for our clients, but I was hoping to get a running start with information from the group.

Of course, things are complicate when you insert SNR, but I'm going to leave that out for now.

Does this work? Or is this not a supported roaming feature?
