A. B. C. D.

B.

The error message indicates that Jabber is unable to connect to the host %IP% on port 7400 due to a "Connection refused" error. This error message suggests that there is an issue with the connection between the Jabber client and the Expressway-C server.

In this scenario, the most likely cause of the issue is that Expressway-C is not able to establish a connection with Expressway-E, which is preventing Jabber from logging in via Mobile and Remote Access. The error message indicates that the issue may be related to the XCP_JABBERD service.

Given the answer options provided, we can eliminate option A (Rich Media Session licenses are not activated on Expressway) as the cause of the issue because the error message does not reference licensing.

Option B (Expressway-E is listening on the wrong IP interface) is also unlikely to be the cause of the issue because the error message specifically indicates that the issue is related to the XCP_JABBERD service, which is not affected by the IP interface configuration.

Option C (The destination port for Expressway-E is set to 7400 instead of 8443 on the Expressway) is a plausible cause of the issue because it suggests that the Expressway-E server may not be configured to listen on the correct port. However, this would result in a different error message (e.g., "connection timed out" or "connection refused on port 8443"), so we can also eliminate this option.

Therefore, the most likely cause of the issue is option D: The XCP Service is not activated on Expressway-C. This is because the error message specifically references the XCP_JABBERD service, which is responsible for handling Jabber traffic on Expressway-C. If this service is not activated, Jabber will be unable to connect to the server, which would result in the error message seen in the logs.
