This document describes the new features, system requirements, licensing information, and caveats for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0. Use this document in conjunction with the caveats listed in Caveats.
Cisco Unified SIP Proxy is a high-performance, highly available Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server for centralized routing and SIP signaling normalization. By forwarding requests to call-control domains, Cisco Unified SIP Proxy provides the means for routing sessions within enterprise and service provider networks. Cisco Unified SIP Proxy provides multiple features, including SIP trunk aggregation, name resolution, routing, load balancing, scalability, and high availability.
Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.0 is delivered as an Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) and can be installed as a virtual machine on Cisco UCS platform. For more information on virtual machine requirements to install Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0, see Virtual Machine Requirements for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.0. Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0 supports CISCO-USP-MIB through SNMP.
Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0 mainly addresses the open PSIRTs that were raised against the Operating System and the third-party components of the earlier versions of Virtual Unified SIP Proxy.
Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0 software is packaged as an OVA and requires VMware ESXi 5.1 and above. Table 1 provides the information on hardware recommendation for virtualized Cisco Unified SIP Proxy. For more information about deployment and configuration, refer Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.0 Installation Guide.
Note CPU speed is greater than or equal to 2.99 GHz

To determine the software version and the license used, perform the following steps.
Step 1 Enter the following command to display the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy software version:
Step 2 Enter the following command to display the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy software license:
Cisco Smart Software Licensing is a standardized licensing platform that facilitates you to deploy and manage Cisco software licenses easily and quickly. Cisco Smart Software Licensing establishes a pool of software licenses that can be used across your network in a flexible and automated manner. It also provides visibility to your purchased and deployed licenses in your network. Cisco Smart Software Licensing removes the need for Product Activation Keys (PAKs) and reduces your license activation and registration time.
For more information on configuring smart licensing using GUI and CLI refer to GUI Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0 and CLI Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0.

You can migrate from existing Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 8.x releases to Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0. However, the following are the limitations during the migration:
a. Ensure that you have console access to the VM of virtual Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.0, while you are restoring the configuration of 8.X on 10.0.
b. After the restore is completed, reload the module as per the instructions on the screen.
c. Immediately after the reboot is completed, access the console with your username and password.
d. Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway as follows:
e. After the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy is online, re-associate the users to groups with password reset and try to ssh.
Following are the steps to migrate from any of the existing Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Releases to Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0:
1. Take a backup of the existing Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 8.x configuration. For more information, see Cisco Unified SIP Proxy CLI Configuration Guide.
2. Deploy the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0 OVA on a virtual machine. For more information, see Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.0 Installation Guide.
3. Configure the Smart licenses. For more information, see GUI Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0 and CLI Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0.
4. Restore the configuration backup of Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 8.x in Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.0. For more information, see CLI Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0.
Note Smart licensing details are reset if smart licensing is configured before restore of configuration. It is always recommended to restore the configuration before enabling smart licensing.
Note After configuration restore, you must manually create a user with administrator privileges for accessing SSH.
Note When you migrate from Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 8.x to Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0, if there are no Sub-Interfaces or VLANs defined on the Virtual Machine, remove the VLAN 0 tag from packets at the ESXi switch side or network side. If not, packets with VLAN 0 tag are dropped.
You can upgrade from the existing Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 9.x releases to Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0. Following are the steps to migrate from any of the existing Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Releases to Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0:
1. Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.
2. Take a backup of the existing Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 9.x configuration. For more information, see Cisco Unified SIP Proxy CLI Configuration Guide.
3. Deploy the Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0 OVA on the virtual machine. For more information, see Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.0 Installation Guide for more information.
4. Configure the Smart licenses. For more information, see GUI Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0 and CLI Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0.
5. Restore the configuration backup of Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 9.x in Cisco Unified SIP Proxy 10.0. For more information, see CLI Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified SIP Proxy Release 10.0.
