Installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing for a Segmented Meeting Access Configuration

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing supports two segmented meeting access configurations that allow you to provide external access to your users while maintaining network security. Though you can provide external access to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web conferences by simply opening ports in your firewall, we do not recommend this option because it lacks security.

About Segmented Meeting Access

While external participation is possible by controlling port access through a firewall, we highly recommend that you consider a segmented meeting access (SMA) configuration instead. SMA configurations isolate some meetings on the private corporate network while exposing others, designated as external, to the Internet. Users designate their meetings as internal or external during the scheduling process by setting the Allow Internet Access parameter on the New Meeting scheduling page.

Typically, a Cisco MCS is placed in the demilitarized zone, or DMZ, a network segment created between the private corporate network and the Internet to host meetings for external access.
