Question #: 94
Topic #: 13
[All 350-801 Questions]

A company deploys centralized cisco ucm architecture for a hub location and two remote sites.

*The company has only one ITSP connection at the hub connection, and ITSP supports only G.711 calls

*Remote site A has a 1-Gbps fiber connection to the hub connection and calls to and from remote side A use G.711 codec

*Remote site B has a 1 T1 connection to the hub location and calls to and from remote site B use G.729 codec

Based on the provided guidance, a Cisco voice engineer must design media resource management for the customer What is the method that needs to be followed?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Balanced mode provides user load balancing and user failover in the event of an outage. Active/standby mode provides an always on standby node in the event of an outage, but it does not provide load balancing.

Here is a more detailed explanation of the two modes:

Balanced mode:In balanced mode, the IM and Presence Service nodes are configured to work together to provide high availability. The nodes are configured in a redundancy group, and the system automatically balances the load of users across the nodes in the group. If one of the nodes fails, the system automatically fails over the users to the other nodes in the group.

Active/standby mode:In active/standby mode, one of the IM and Presence Service nodes is designated as the active node, and the other nodes are designated as standby nodes. The active node handles all of the user traffic, and the standby nodes are only used if the active node fails. If the active node fails, the system automatically fails over to one of the standby nodes.

I disagree, Site A should have the transcoder since it has more bandwidth.

The hub has only G.711, so transcoding is needed for Site B.

I’m leaning towards configuring the transcoder on the hub location, but I’m a bit confused about whether a hardware or software transcoder is more efficient in this scenario.

I feel like we practiced a similar question, and it was emphasized that having a centralized transcoder can help manage resources better.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think the hub location router would be the best place for the transcoder since it handles all the traffic between sites.

I remember we discussed that transcoding might be necessary for calls between different codecs, especially since Site B uses G.729.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Based on the information provided, the best approach is to configure the hardware transcoder on the site B router to handle the G.729 codec for that location.

I think the key here is to minimize the number of transcoders needed. Since remote site A uses G.711, we may be able to avoid needing a transcoder there. But remote site B will likely require a transcoder on its router.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Should we configure the transcoder on the hub router or one of the remote site routers? I'll need to review the details again to make the right call.

Okay, let me think this through. Since the hub location only has G.711 ITSP support, I'm guessing we'll need to use a transcoder to handle the G.729 codec for remote site B.

Hmm, this seems straightforward. Since the ITSP only supports G.711 and remote site B uses G.729, we'll need to use a transcoder to handle the codec conversion.
