Syntax Description
best-effort Indicates that Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) makes no bandwidth reservation. This is the default. controlled-load Indicates that RSVP guarantees a single level of preferential service, presumed to correlate to a delay boundary. The controlled load service uses admission (or capacity) control to ensure that preferential service is received even when the bandwidth is overloaded. guaranteed-delay Indicates that RSVP reserves bandwidth and guarantees a minimum bit rate and preferential queuing if the bandwidth reserved is not exceeded.
Defaults
best-effort
Command Modes
Dial-peer configuration
Command History
11.3(1)T This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command is only applicable to VoIP dial peers.
Use the acc-qos dial-peer configuration command to generate an SNMP event if the quality of service for specified dial peer drops below the specified level. When a dial peer is used, the Cisco IOS software reserves a certain amount of bandwidth so that the selected quality of service can be provided. Cisco IOS software uses RSVP to request quality of service guarantees from the network.
To select the most appropriate value for this command, you need to be familiar with the amount of traffic this connection supports and what kind of impact you are willing to have on it. The Cisco IOS software generates a trap message when the bandwidth required to provide the selected quality of service is not available.
Examples
The following example selects guaranteed-delay as the specified level below which an SNMP trap message will be generated:
dial-peer voice 10 voip acc-qos guaranteed-delay
Related Commands
req-qos Specifies the desired quality of service to be used in reaching a specified dial peer in Voice over IP.

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command is applicable to both Cisco 3600 series VoIP and POTS dial peers.
Use the answer-address command to identify the origin (or dial peer) of incoming calls from the IP network. Cisco IOS software identifies the dial peers of a call in one of two ways: either by identifying the interface through which the call is received or through the telephone number configured with the answer-address command. In the absence of a configured telephone number, the peer associated with the interface will be associated with the incoming call.
For calls coming in from a POTS interface, the answer-address command is not used to select an incoming dial peer. The incoming POTS dial peer is selected on the basis of the port configured for that dial peer.
There are certain areas in the world (for example, in certain European countries) where valid telephone numbers can vary in length. Use the optional control character t to indicate that a particular answer-address value is a variable-length dial-string. In this case, the system will not match the dialed numbers until the interdigit time-out value has expired.
![]() |
Note The Cisco IOS software does not check the validity of the E.164 telephone number; it accepts any series of digits as a valid number. |
Examples
The following example configures the E.164 telephone number, 555-9626, as the dial peer of an incoming call:
dial-peer voice 10 pots answer-address +5559626
Related Commands
destination-pattern Specifies either the prefix or the full E.164 telephone number (depending on your dial plan) to be used for a dial peer. port (dial peer) Enables an interface on a PA-4R-DTR port adapter to operate as a concentrator port. prefix Specifies the prefix of the dialed digits for this dial peer.

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
Use the arq reject-unknown-prefix command to configure the gatekeeper to reject any incoming ARQs for a destination E.164 address that does not match any of the configured zone prefixes.
When an endpoint or gateway initiates an H.323 call, it sends an ARQ to its gatekeeper. The gatekeeper uses the configured list of zone prefixes to determine where to direct the call. If the called address does not match any of the known zone prefixes, the gatekeeper attempts to hairpin the call out through a local gateway. If you do not want your gateway to do this, then use the arq reject-unknown-prefix command. (hairpin is a term used in telephony that means to send a call back in the direction that it came from. For example, if a call cannot be routed over IP to a gateway that is closer to the target phone, the call is typically sent back out the local zone, back the way it came from.)
This command is typically used to either restrict local gateway calls to a known set of prefixes or deliberately fail such calls so that an alternate choice on a gateway's rotary dial-peer is selected.
Examples
Consider a gatekeeper configured as follows:
zone local gk408 cisco.com zone remote gk415 cisco.com 172.21.139.91 zone prefix gk408 1408....... zone prefix gk415 1415.......
In this example configuration, the gatekeeper manages a zone containing gateways to the 408 area code, and it knows about a peer gatekeeper with gateways to the 415 area code. Using the zone prefix command, the gatekeeper is then configured with the appropriate prefixes so that calls to those area codes hop off in the optimal zone.
If the arq request-unknown-prefix command is not configured, the gatekeeper handles calls in the following way:
If the arq reject-unknown-prefix command is configured, the gatekeeper handles calls in the following way:
To specify the software compression mode on the Cisco MC3810, use the atm compression command in interface configuration mode. To remove the compression mode setting, use the no form of this command.

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
Enable scrambling on E1 links only. On T1 links, the default B8ZS line encoding normally ensures sufficient reliability. Scrambling improves data reliability on E1 links by randomizing the ATM cell payload frames to avoid continuous nonvariable bit patterns and improve the efficiency of the ATM cell delineation algorithms.
The scrambling setting must match that of the far end.
Examples
On a Cisco MC3810, the following example shows how to set the ATM0 E1 link to scramble payload:
interface atm0 atm scramble-enable
To set the unique ATM end-station address (AESA) for an ATM video interface that is using switched virtual circuit (SVC) mode, use the atm video aesa command in ATM interface configuration mode. To remove any configured address for the interface, use the no form of this command.

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
When you place a voice port in busyout monitor state, the voice port monitors the specified interface and enters the busyout state when the interface is down. This forces rerouting of calls when an interface is down.
If you specify more than one monitored interface for a voice port, all the monitored interfaces must be down in order to trigger busyout on the voice port.
The command monitors only the up or down status of an interface---not end-to-end TCP/IP connectivity.
When an interface is operational, a busied-out voice port returns to its normal state.
This feature can monitor LAN, WAN, and virtual interfaces, as well as subinterfaces.
Examples
The following example configures the voice port to monitor two serial interfaces and an Ethernet interface. When all these interfaces are down, the voice port is busied out. When at least one interface is operating, the voice port is put back into a normal state.

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to make sure each downstream channel has a unique ID when there are multiple Cisco uBR7200 series routers acting as CMTSes at a headend facility.
Cisco IOS assigns the default ID number of each downstream channel in the order in which devices connected to the downstream channels appear to the CMTS. The downstream channel connected to the first device that appears to the CMTS is configured with a default ID of 1, the downstream channel connected to the second device that appears is configured with an ID of 2, and so on. By assigning default values in this manner, a single CMTS guarantees unique channel IDs. However, this scheme does not guarantee unique channel IDs when more than one CMTS exists on a network.
Examples
The following example configures the downstream channel on the cable modem card in slot 6 of a Cisco uBR7200 series router with a channel ID of 44:

Modification
Usage Guidelines
The downstream frequency of your RF output must be set to match the expected input frequency of your upconverter. To do this, you enter the fixed center frequency of the downstream channel for the downstream port. (You can also select a default which does not set a specific fixed value.) The valid range for a fixed center frequency is 54,000,000 to 1,020,000,000 Hz. The center frequency is also used to configure an IF-to-RF upconverter that must be installed in your downstream path.
The digital carrier frequency is specified to be the center of a 6.0 MHz channel. For example, EIA channel 95 spans 90.000 to 96.000 MHz. The center frequency is 93.000 MHz, which is the digital carrier frequency that should be configured as the downstream frequency. The typical range for current CATV headends is 88,000,000 to 860,000,000 Hz.

Usage Guidelines
Baseline privacy on an HFC network is configured with key encryption keys (KEKs) and traffic encryption keys (TEKs). The encryption is based on 40-bit or 56-bit data encryption standard (DES) encryption algorithms.
A KEK is assigned to a cable modem based on the cable modem service identifier (SID) and permits the cable modem to connect to the Cisco uBR7200 series when baseline privacy is activated. KEKs can be set to expire based on a grace-time or a life-time value.
The grace-time keyword is used to assign a temporary key to a cable modem to access the network. The life-time keyword is used to assign a more permanent key to a cable modem.
A cable modem that has a grace-time or life-time key assigned by the Cisco uBR7200 series will request a new key before the current one expires.

Upstream traffic may be affected by noise or other cable plant impairments. The spectrum manager monitors the upstream traffic. If station maintenance messages from cable modems are not received for approximately 2.5 minutes, the spectrum manager reassigns a different upstream frequency to the upstream channel.
Frequency agility is configured and activated using spectrum groups. A spectrum group is a table of frequencies that can be used by upstream ports to implement a frequency-hopping policy. There are two types of policies, blind and scheduled, with two corresponding types of spectrum groups.
![]() |
Note The cable interface will not operate until you either create and configure a spectrum group or set a fixed upstream frequency. From the interface configuration prompt, an interface is assigned membership in a spectrum group. From the interface point of view, the spectrum group also represents the set of upstreams connected to the same group of fiber nodes. This allows the spectrum manager to know if the upstream spectrum is shared. |
A maximum of 32 spectrum groups can be configured in the system.
Examples
The following example creates three types of spectrum groups and sets the periodic rate to 48000 seconds:
cable spectrum-group 1 blind cable spectrum-group 2 type scheduled daily cable spectrum-group 3 type scheduled periodic-sec 48000

Usage Guidelines
After you create a spectrum group, you need to configure a list of upstream frequencies and nominal power levels that each spectrum group can use when an upstream frequency change is necessary. Each spectrum group should have its own list of upstream frequencies. Valid frequencies are 5,000,000 to 42,000,000 Hz; valid power levels are -10 dBmV to 10 dBmV. The power level value should only be entered if you want to change only the power level as part of spectrum management. The standard power level is 0 dBmV.
Examples
The following example creates spectrum group frequencies:
cable spectrum-group 1 frequency 6500000 cable spectrum-group 1 frequency 7000000 cable spectrum-group 2 frequency 750000 -5 cable spectrum-group 3 time 02:00:00 frequency 9000000 cable spectrum-group 3 time 12:00:00 frequency 9500000 -5

Usage Guidelines
The Cisco uBR7200 series router polls each cable modem at a default rate of once every 10 seconds. When ingress noise causes the loss of keepalive messages for a specified period of time, a new frequency is selected from the allocation table and a UCD update is performed.
If the destination channel is expected to be impaired, the minimum period between frequency hops can be reduced to a small value such as 10 seconds. This allows the frequency hop to continue more rapidly until a clear channel is found. If excessive frequency hop is a concern, the minimum period between hops can be increased.
Examples
The following example reduces the minimum frequency-hop interval to 60 seconds:
cable spectrum-group hop period 60

The values are power-of-two values. For example, a value of 4 indicates a window between 0 and 15; a value of 10 indicates a window between 0 and 1023.
Cisco recommends that you use the automatic settings for data backoff.

The following example sets the automatic data backoff values for port 2:

Usage Guidelines
The Cisco uBR7200 series controls the output power levels of the cable modems to meet the desired upstream input power level. The nominal input power level for the upstream RF carrier is specified in decibels per millivolt (dBmV). The default setting of 0 dBmV is the optimal setting for the upstream power level.
The valid range for the input power level depends on the data rate. At 1.6 MHz, the valid range is -10 dBmV to 25 dBmV. Higher values cause the modems to increase their transmit power, achieving a greater carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR). If your power levels operate at greater than the maximum valid level, you must use an inline attenuator to bring the power level to within the valid range.
![]() |
Caution If you increase the input power level, the cable modems on your HFC network will increase their transmit power level. This might cause an increase in the carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) on the network. Be careful if you adjust this parameter. You might violate the upstream return laser design parameters. |
You should not adjust your input power level by more than 5 dB in a 30-second interval. If you increase the power level by more than 5 dB within 30 seconds, cable modem service on your network will be disrupted. If you decrease the power level by more than 5 dB within 30 seconds, cable modems on your network will be forced offline.
When you run cable upstream 0 power-level, Cisco recommends that the adjacent channel not have a large variation. The recommended maximum input power variance is 5 to 6 dBmV.
Examples
The following example sets the input power level for upstream port 0 to -5 dBmV:
interface cable 6/0 cable upstream 0 power-level -5

Usage Guidelines
Upstream rate limiting allows upstream bandwidth requests from rate-exceeding cable modems to be buffered without incurring TCP-related timeouts and retransmits. This enables the Cisco uBR7200 series to enforce the peak upstream rate for each cable modem without degrading overall TCP performance for the subscriber CPEs. Upstream grant shaping is per cable modem (SID).
When the token-bucket algorithm is configured, the Cisco uBR7200 series will automatically drop packets in violation of allowable upstream bandwidth.
Use of the default value (the upstream port's rate limit) enforces strict DOCSIS-compliant rate limiting.

The following example configures the token bucket filter algorithm with traffic shaping on upstream port 4:
interface cable 6/0 cable upstream 4 rate-limit token-bucket

Usage Guidelines
This command applies to the Cisco 2600 series and 3600 series routers only. It is ignored on the Cisco MC3810 and the Cisco 7200 series.
The called-number (dial-peer) command is used only when the dial peer type is VoFR and you are using the frf11-trunk (FRF.11) session protocol; it is ignored at all times on the Cisco MC3810, and on all other platforms when using the cisco-switched session protocol.
Because FRF.11 does not provide any end-to-end messaging to manage a trunk, the called-number (dial-peer) command is necessary to allow the router to establish an incoming trunk connection. The E.164 number is used to find a matching dial peer during call setup.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure a Cisco 2600 series or 3600 series router for a static FRF.11 trunk connection to a specific telephone number (555-2150), beginning in global configuration mode:
voice-port 1/0/0 connection trunk 5558000 exit dial-peer voice 100 pots destination pattern 5552150 exit dial-peer voice 200 vofr session protocol frf11-trunk called-number 5552150 destination pattern 5558000

When VCWare is unbundled, it automatically adds DSPWare to Flash memory, creates both the capability and default file lists, and populates these lists with the default files for that version of VCWare. The capability list defines the available voice codecs for H.323 capability negotiation. Use the cap-list vfc command to add the indicated voice codec overlay file (defined by filename) to the capability file list in Flash memory.
Examples
The following example adds the following codec to the list included in Flash memory:
