How do I use the TURN server in the Cisco Expressway with the Meeting Server?


From X8.9, Cisco Expressway supports traversal of SIP traffic at the edge of the network, to and from the Cisco Meeting Server. 

If you plan to use the Cisco Expressway X8.9 or later,  in place of the TURN server within the Cisco Meeting Server, then take note of the following when configuring the Cisco Meeting Server:

  • ignore the TURN configuration section in the chapter on Configuring the MMP in the Meeting Server deployment guide. If you have already configured the TURN server on the Cisco Meeting Server, then disable it via the MMP command turn disable
  • either use the Web Admin interface or API of the Cisco Meeting Server.

      using the Web Admin, go to Configuration>General and type the Expressway IP address in the TURN Server address (server) field. The Cisco Meeting Server will use port 3478 to communicate with the Cisco Expressway.

       using the API, set the type parameter on the /turnServers node, set type=expressway
