Basic Deployment
In a basic deployment, the Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy sits in-line with the Internet firewall
such that all Internet traffic traverses the adaptive security appliance. In this deployment, a single Cisco
UCM or a Cisco UCM cluster is centrally deployed within the enterprise, along with a Cisco
Intercompany Media Engine server (and perhaps a backup).
As shown in Figure 47-4, the adaptive security appliance sits on the edge of the enterprise and inspects
SIP signaling by creating dynamic SIP trunks between enterprises.
