Benefits

The new huntstop command provides more control over your dial-peer hunt groups, enabling you to disable the dial-peer hunting if the call fails.

Restrictions

None.

Supported Platforms

Cisco MC3810 series multiservice access concentrators

Supported Standards, MIBs, and RFCs

None.

Configuration Tasks

You can disable dial-peer hunting for hunt groups, and reenable dial-peer hunting as needed. In this release, this feature applies only to Voice over Frame Relay and Voice over ATM on the Cisco MC3810.

Command Reference

This section documents new or modified commands. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 command reference publications. This section includes information on the following modified command:

huntstop

In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(1)T or later releases, you can search and filter the output for show and more commands. This functionality is useful when you need to sort through large amounts of output, or if you want to exclude output that you do not need to see.

To use this functionality, enter a show or more command followed by the "pipe" character (|), one of the keywords begin, include, or exclude, and an expression that you want to search or filter on:

command | {begin | include | exclude} regular-expression

See the following example of the show atm vc command where you want the command output to begin with the first line where the expression "PeakRate" appears:

show atm vc | begin PeakRate

For more information on the search and filter functionality, refer to the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(1)T feature module titled CLI String Search.
