Additional Notes:

• All Gateways in the above table support inbound contact center calls and Call Progress Analysis (CPA) for Outbound Option with TDM Trunks.
• For Video Contact Center, IOS 15.3(3)M3 or later version in the same train is required.
• For IPv6-enabled deployments, the supported IOS versions for NAT64 translations are 15.4(2)T3 and later releases.
• Multi-VRF requires IOS XE 16.3.4 to support Hosted Collaboration Solution for Contact Center.

IOS Versioning Key, using 15.1(4)M3 and 15.1(4)T1 as examples:

• 15.1 is the version number.
• (4) is the release number.
• M3 and T1 are the train release numbers. M is the mainline train and T is the technology train.
• An increment in the release number after M or T refers to additional bug fixes.

Unified CVP supports the listed IOS release trains and their later M or T trains respectively. For example, gateways supporting 15.1(4)M3 will also support 15.1(4)M4 and 15.1(4)M7, but not 15.1(4)M1 and 15.1(4)M2.

• Cisco Virtualized Voice Browser as a product does not reside inside the PCCE-side A/B servers. However, you can deploy VVP in a branch office (for example, on UCS-E on ISR-4K) or in a separate server in a centralized deployment.
• Unified CVP supports SHA-256.
