Which three statements describe fails in the high availability of Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management central controller? (Choose three.)

The correct answer is A. If ICM Logger side A fails, router side B cannot send historical info to ICM Logger side A and is C. If ICM Logger side A fails, the impact of call processing is limited to ICM call router side A. D. If one ICM call router of a duplex pair of Cisco Unified ICM call routers fails, the surviving ICM call.

Which three statements describe fails in the high availability of Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management central controller? (Choose three.)

Options

  • AIf ICM Logger side A fails, router side B cannot send historical info to ICM Logger side A and is
  • BIf the private LAN fails, the Peripheral Gateways are used to help determine the active call router
  • CIf ICM Logger side A fails, the impact of call processing is limited to ICM call router side A.
  • DIf one ICM call router of a duplex pair of Cisco Unified ICM call routers fails, the surviving ICM call
  • EThere is no impact on call processing during a Cisco Unified ICM Logger failure.
  • FDuring Cisco Unified ICM call router failover processing, calls in progress in Cisco Unified

Explanation

A, C, and D correctly describe failure behaviors in Cisco Unified ICM's duplex (redundant) central controller architecture. A is correct because an ICM Logger failure breaks the historical data path between its paired router side and that logger - Router side A loses its ability to send historical data to Logger side A. C is correct because Logger side A failing is contained: it impacts only its paired side (side A), leaving side B fully operational, so call processing degradation is isolated. D is correct because this is the core HA premise - when one router in a duplex pair fails, the surviving router inherits call routing responsibilities and processing continues.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • B is wrong because Peripheral Gateways play no role in determining which call router is active - the routers themselves handle that determination via their private LAN link and internal mechanisms.
  • E is wrong because a Logger failure does cause impact, specifically to historical data collection and reporting, even though real-time call routing is unaffected; "no impact" is too absolute.
  • F (though truncated) is wrong because calls already in progress are generally maintained through failover by the surviving router - in-progress calls are not simply dropped.

Memory tip: Think "Logger = history, Router = routing." Logger failure hurts reporting on that side only (A, C). Router failure triggers failover to the survivor (D). PGs route calls - they never vote on who's the active controller (B is a trap).
