Introduction

The Cisco Unified SIP Proxy is a high-performance, highly available Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server for centralized routing and SIP signaling normalization. By forwarding requests between call-control domains, the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy provides the means for routing sessions within enterprise and service provider networks. The application is delivered in a network module form factor on Cisco 2900, 3800, 3900, and 3900E Series Integrated Services Routers (Cisco ISRs). Cisco Unified SIP Proxy provides multiple features including SIP trunk aggregation, name resolution, routing, load balancing, scalability, and high availability.

If you order the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.5 software and licenses when you order the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy hardware modules and routers, the factory installs the software and licenses on the modules for you. No additional key or code is required to enable the license. However, if you order spare licenses after the original hardware purchase, you will get a product activation key (PAK) that can be used to generate a license from http://www/cisco.com/go/license.

Open Source Licensing

Some components of the software created for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.5 are provided through open source or commercial licensing. These components and the associated copyright statements can be found at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10475/products_licensing_information_listing.html.

New Features and Enhancements

•Release 8.5.1

•Release 8.5.2

•Release 8.5.3

Release 8.5.1

•Created an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) that can be used to configure, manage, monitor, and troubleshoot Cisco Unified SIP Proxy. Complete details about how to use the GUI can be found in the GUI Administration Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.5 or in the online help in the application.

•Added support for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy on the SM-SRE-700-K9 and the SM-SRE-900-K9 SRE modules. These service modules are supported only on the Cisco 2900 Series and Cisco 3900 Series routers. Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.5 continues to be supported on the NME-CUSP-522-K9 module.

•Added the ability to enable or disable Lite Mode. Lite Mode provides the ability to run Cisco Unified SIP Proxy at higher call rates than the licensed call rates by disabling record-route functionality.

•Added enforced licensing using Cisco Software Licensing (CSL). Beginning with Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.5, software licenses must be installed and activated prior to use.

•Updated the functionality of route tables. You can now have a route table that consists of both routes loaded from a file and routes configured on the system and you no longer need to keep the route table file in the upload location after you have uploaded the information. For more information, see the route table file CLI command description in the CLI Command Reference for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.5.

Release 8.5.2

•Added support for call admission control for server group elements. Call admission control enables the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy to limit the number of calls sent to each server group element.

•Added performance control support to restrict the total calls-per-second that the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy can process.

•Added a SIP message log that captures SIP messages sent and received by Cisco Unified SIP Proxy. The SIP message log has call search capabilities and can be accessed through the GUI.

•Added a failed call log that can capture the call record details for calls that do not terminate normally. The f ailed call log has call search capabilities and can be accessed through the GUI.

•Added support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP can be configured through the GUI.

Release 8.5.3

Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.5.3is a maintenance release. There are no new features.

Installation Notes

For information about installing Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.5, see the Installation Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.5.

Limitations and Restrictions

•Release 8.5.1

•Release 8.5.2

•Release 8.5.3

Release 8.5.1

The following are limitations in Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.5.1:

•CSCtj33506: Starting with Release 8.5, the route table configuration is not part of the standard Cisco Unified SIP Proxy configuration. Therefore, if you roll back the system configuration, the route table configuration is not affected. The route table configuration will continue to be the most recent configuration and not the configuration that was in place during the last commit. The workaround for this limitation is to use the backup and restore feature instead of rolling back the configuration.

•CSCtj23166: Monitor charts do not work with Internet Explorer for HTTPS connections. This issue is a browser compatibility problem with secure connections (HTTPS) and the Adobe Flash Player used for the monitor charts. It only occurs for Internet Explorer versions 7 and 8 using HTTPS connections. The system displays the charts normally with Firefox (for both secure and non-secure connections) and for Internet Explorer when using non-secure connections.

•CSCto14786: Sub-interface creation failed on CUSP SRE700/900 modules.

Release 8.5.2

There are no limitations in Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.5.2.

Release 8.5.3

There are no limitations in Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.5.3.

CSCts03213	Update Caffiene SIP stack to version 3.1.3.477.
CSCtr57276	SIP message trace can fill disk, resulting in instability/high CPU.
CSCtr49726	CUSP fails to boot if HTTPS access for web-based GUI is turned on.
CSCto91775	Route table lookup should select default route when lookup key is null.
CSCto84029	Ability to configure SIP TCP/TLS connection setup timeout.
CSCtc17438	Corrupted bzImage.
