Introduction to UCSInstall_CUP_UNRST_11.5.1.23900-3.sha512.iso

This ISO package contains the Unrestricted Security Version of Cisco Unified Presence Server (CUP) 11.5.1 Maintenance Release, specifically designed for organizations requiring FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography modules. Released on April 15, 2025, this build (23900-3) addresses critical vulnerabilities in XMPP federation services while maintaining backward compatibility with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 11.5(1) SU3+ deployments.

The “UNRST” designation indicates support for non-FIPS operational modes, allowing transitional security configurations during hybrid cloud migrations. Administrators can manage up to 50,000 concurrent Jabber/XMPP endpoints through this release’s enhanced monitoring dashboard.
