XMPP Federation Deployments
Figure 46-4 provides an example of an XMPP federated network between Cisco Unified Presence 
enterprise deployment and an IBM Sametime enterprise deployment. TLS is optional for XMPP 
federation. adaptive security appliance acts only as a firewall for XMPP federation; it does not provide 
TLS proxy functionality or PAT for XMPP federation.
Figure 46-4 Basic XMPP Federated Network between Cisco Unified Presence and IBM Sametime
There are two DNS servers within the internal Cisco Unified Presence enterprise deployment. One DNS 
server hosts the Cisco Unified Presence private address. The other DNS server hosts the Cisco Unified 
Presence public address and a DNS SRV records for SIP federation (_sipfederationtle), and XMPP 
federation (_xmpp-server) with Cisco Unified Presence. The DNS server that hosts the Cisco Unified 
Presence public address is located in the local DMZ.
