Preparing to Install the Video Integration with DMZ Configurations

A DMZ is an area on the corporate network that is outside the corporate firewall. In order to allow external participants to attend Cisco MeetingPlace conferences without compromising security, one or more Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing servers are deployed behind the firewall, and one or more web-conferencing servers are deployed in a DMZ. These configurations are called “segmented meeting access” (SMA) configurations; they are described fully in the Administrator’s Guide for

Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3.

Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration must be installed on one and only one server on which

Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is installed:

•If it is installed behind the firewall, only internal participants can attend video conferences.

•If it is installed in the DMZ, external participants can also attend.

Note	• If Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration is installed in the DMZ, meeting schedulers must allow
	Internet access for all conferences that will include video, even if only internal participants will
	attend. The web and video conferences will be held on the server in the DMZ.
	• If Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration is installed behind the firewall in a DMZ configuration,
	users cannot include video conferencing in a meeting that also includes web-conferencing
	participants who are outside the firewall.
	• Additional caveats apply. See Important Information About DMZ Configurations and Video
	Conferencing, page 4-12.
Step 1	Use the information in this section to decide whether you will install
	Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration behind the firewall or in the DMZ.
