XMPP federation and Redundancy

[gabriel.caclin]

Hi There,

I am running:

- Cluster of 2 Expressway-C in v8.2.2.

- Cluster of 2 Expressway-E in v8.2.2

- Cluster of 3 CUCM in 10.5

- Cluster of 2 IM&P (active/standby) in 10.5

I would like to know is handled the XMPP federation when running a cluster of Expressway E?

I create SRV records for _xmpp-server and _xmpp-client with the same weigth and priority, it works very well, but when on Expressway fall down, no more federation.

For exemple:

User A from Company A and User B from Company B are chatting with Jabber using XMPP federation.

If I have one Expressway-E down in the cluster from Company A, User B (Company B) is no longer able to chat with user from Company A.

I would like to know if there are best practices or design as it looks not clearly stated in the documentation.

Thanks.

Gabriel did you find a solution to this? If you did can you please share it with us

Yep, I ask my SE about this and unfortunately this is not supported.

[Ayodeji Okanlawon]

Are you sayING HA is not supported for xmpp  federation? 

[gabriel.caclin]

Nope, not yet supported.

But after running expressway 8.5.2, I did an failover test and curiously, I kept the federation still available.
