Multiservice Applications Commands:
Si through Z

This book documents commands used to configure Voice over ATM, Voice over Frame Relay, Voice over HDLC, Voice over IP, video, head-end universal broadband features, and subscriber-end universal broadband features. Commands in this book are listed alphabetically. For information on how to configure Voice over ATM, Voice over Frame Relay, Voice over HDLC, Voice over IP, video, head-end universal broadband features, and subscriber-end universal broadband features, refer to the Cisco IOS Multiservice Applications Configuration Guide.

signal

To specify the type of signalling for a voice port, use the signal command in voice-port configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to restore the default value for this command.

For FXO and FXS voice ports:

signal {loop-start | ground-start}

no signal {loop-start | ground-start}

For E&M voice ports:

signal {wink-start | immediate | delay-dial}

no signal {wink-start | immediate | delay-dial}

Syntax Description

loop-start

Specifies loop start signalling. Used for FXO and FXS interfaces. With loop start signalling only one side of a connection can hang up. This is the default setting for FXO and FXS voice ports.

ground-start

Specifies ground start signalling. Used for FXO and FXS interfaces. Ground Start allows both sides of a connection to place a call and to hang up.

wink-start

Indicates that the calling side seizes the line by going off-hook on its E-lead then waits for a short off-hook "wink" indication on its M lead from the called side before sending address information as DTMF digits. Used for E&M tie trunk interfaces. This is the default setting for E&M voice ports.

immediate

Indicates that the calling side seizes the line by going off-hook on its E-lead and sends address information as DTMF digits. Used for E&M tie trunk interfaces.

delay-dial

Indicates that the calling side seizes the line by going off-hook on its E-lead. After a timing interval, the calling side looks at the supervision from the called side. If the supervision is on-hook, the calling side starts sending information as DTMF digits; otherwise, the calling side waits until the called side goes on-hook and then starts sending address information. Used for E&M tie trunk interfaces.

Defaults

loop-start for FXO and FXS interfaces; wink-start for E&M interfaces

Command Modes

Voice-port configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to analog voice ports only.

Configuring the signal command for an FXS or FXO voice port changes the signal value for both voice ports on a VPM card.


Note If you change the signal type for an FXO voice port on Cisco 3600 series routers, you need to move the appropriate jumper in the voice interface card of the voice network module. For more information about the physical characteristics of the voice network module, refer to the installation documentation, Voice Network Module and Voice Interface Card Configuration Note, that came with your voice network module.

Configuring this command for an E&M voice port changes only the signal value for the selected voice port. In either case, the voice port must be shut down and then activated before the configured values will take effect.

Some PBXs will miss initial digits if the E&M voice port is configured for Immediate signalling. If this occurs, use Delay-Dial signalling instead. Some non-Cisco devices have a limited number of DTMF receivers. This type of equipment must delay the calling side until a DTMF receiver is available.

Examples

The following example configures ground start signalling on the Cisco 3600 series, which means that both sides of a connection can place a call and hang up, as the signalling type for a voice port:

configure terminal
 voice-port 1/1/1
 signal ground-start

signal keepalive

To configure the keepalive signalling packet interval for Cisco trunks and FRF.11 trunks, use the signal keepalive command in voice-class configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to restore the default value.

signal keepalive number

no signal keepalive number

Syntax Description

number

Specifies the keepalive signalling packet interval in seconds. The valid range is from 1 to 65535 seconds.

Defaults

5 seconds

Command Modes

Command History
Release Modification

12.0(4)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Before configuring the keepalive signalling interval, you must use the voice class permanent command in global configuration mode to create a voice class for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk. The voice class must then be assigned to a dial peer.

Examples

The following example, beginning in global configuration mode, sets the keepalive signalling interval to 3 seconds for voice class 10.

voice class permanent 10
 signal keepalive 3
 exit
dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10

Related Commands
Command Description

dial-peer voice

Enters dial-peer configuration mode, defines the type of dial peer, and defines the tag number associated with a dial peer.

signal pattern

Configures the ABCD bit pattern for Cisco trunks and FRF.11 trunks.

signal timing idle suppress-voice

Configures the signal timing parameter for the idle state of the call.

voice class permanent

Assigns a previously configured voice class for a Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk to a dial peer.

signal pattern

To configure the ABCD bit pattern for Cisco trunks and FRF.11 trunks, use the signal pattern command in voice-class configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to remove the signal pattern setting from the voice class.

signal pattern {idle receive | idle transmit | oos receive | oos transmit} word

no signal pattern {idle receive | idle transmit | oos receive | oos transmit} word

Syntax Description

idle receive

Specifies that the signal pattern applies to the idle state of the call for receive bits. The receive direction is from the network to the PBX.

idle transmit

Specifies that the signal pattern applies to the idle state of the call for transmit bits. The transmit direction is from the PBX to the network.

oos receive

Specifies that the signal pattern applies to the out-of-service state of the call for receive bits.

oos transmit

Specifies that the signal pattern applies to the out-of-service state of the call for transmit bits.

word

12.0(4)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Before configuring the signalling pattern, you must use the voice class permanent command in global configuration mode to create a voice class for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk. The voice class must then be assigned to a dial peer.

This command must be entered twice. When you enter the command to specify the signalling pattern for the idle transmit state, you must reenter the command to specify the signalling pattern for the idle receive state.

The idle state of a call is normally based on both the transmit and receive idle patterns matching the signalling state in the signalling packets. If only one direction is configured (transmit or receive), the idle state will be detected based only on the direction that is configured. The out-of-service (OOS) transmit pattern is matched against the signalling state from the PBX (and transmitted to the network). This is used in conjunction with either the suppress-voice timing parameter or the suppress-all parameter.

The OOS receive pattern is the pattern sent to the PBX if the signal timing oos timeout timer expires during which no signalling packets are received from the network. The OOS receive pattern is not used for pattern matching against the signalling packets received from the network. The receive packets directly indicate an OOS condition by setting the AIS alarm indication bit in the packet.

To "busy out" a PBX if the network connection fails, set the OOS receive pattern to match the seized state (busy), then set the signal timing oos timeout value. When the timeout value expires and no signalling packets have been received, the router will send the OOS receive pattern to the PBX.

Use the busy seized pattern only if the PBX does not have a special pattern specifically intended to indicate an OOS state. If the PBX does have a specific OOS pattern, use that pattern instead.

Examples

The following example, beginning in global configuration mode, configures the signalling bit pattern for the idle receive and transmit states:

voice class permanent 10
 signal keepalive 3
 signal pattern idle receive 0101
 signal pattern idle transmit 0101
 exit dial-peer voice 100 vofr  voice-class permanent 10

The following example, beginning in global configuration mode, configures the signalling bit pattern for the out-of-service receive and transmit states:

voice class permanent 10
 signal keepalive 3
 signal pattern oos receive 0001
 signal pattern oos transmit 0001  exit dial-peer voice 100 vofr  voice-class permanent 10

12.0(4)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Before configuring the signal timing idle suppress-voice timer, you must use the voice class permanent command in global configuration mode to create a voice class for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk. The voice class must then be assigned to a dial peer.

This command is used when the signal-type command is set to transparent in the dial peer for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk connection. The Cisco MC3810 stops sending voice packets when the timer expires. Signalling packets are still sent.

Cisco 2600 series and 3600 series routers

signal-type {cas | ext-signal}

no signal-type {cas | ext-signal}

Cisco MC3810

signal-type {cas | cept | ext-signal | transparent}

no signal-type {cas | cept | ext-signal | transparent}

Syntax Description

cas

North American EIA-464 channel-associated signalling (robbed-bit signalling).

cept

Provides a basic E1 ABCD signalling protocol. Used primarily for E&M interfaces. When used with FXS/FXO interfaces, this protocol is equivalent to MELCAS.

ext-signal

External signalling. The digital signal processor (DSP) does not generate any signalling frames. Use this option when there is an external signalling channel (for example, CCS) or when you need to have a permanent "dumb" voice pipe.

transparent

Selecting this option produces different results depending on whether you are using a digital voice module (DVM) or an analog voice module (AVM).

For a DVM: The ABCD signalling bits are copied from or transported through the T1/E1 interface "transparently," without modification or interpretation. This enables the MC3810 to handle arbitrary or unknown signalling protocols.

For an AVM: It is not possible to provide "transparent" behavior because the Cisco MC3810 must interpret the signalling information in order to read/write the correct state to the analog hardware. This option is mapped to be equal to "cas."

Defaults

cas

12.0(4)T

This command was introduced.

12.0(4)T

Support was added for the Cisco 7200 series routers.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to VoFR, VoATM, and VoHDLC dial peers. It is used with permanent connections only (Cisco trunks and FRF.11 trunks), not with switched calls.

This command is used to inform the local telephony interface of the type of signalling it should expect to receive from the far-end dial peer. To turn signalling off at this dial peer, select the ext-signal option. If signalling is turned off and there are no external signalling channels, a "hot" line exists, enabling this dial peer to connect to anything at the far end.

On the Cisco 2600 series and 3600 series routers, there are only two possible settings for trunks (VoFR dial peers only):

When you connect an FXS to another FXS, or if you have anything other than an FXS/FXO or E&M/E&M pair, the appropriate signalling type on Cisco 2600 series and 3600 series routers is ext-signal (disabled).

On the Cisco MC3810, there are two additional signal-type settings:

If you have a digital E1 connection at the remote end that is running cept/MELCAS signalling and you then trunk that across to an analog port, you should make sure that you configure both ends for the cept signal-type.

If you have a T1 or E1 connection at both ends and the T1/E1 is running a signalling protocol that is neither EIA-464nor cept/MELCAS, you might want to configure the signal-type for the transparent option in order to pass through the signalling.

Examples

The following example shows how to disable signalling on a Cisco 2600 series or 3600 series router or on a Cisco MC3810 multiservice access concentrator for VoFR dial peer 200, starting from global configuration mode:

dial-peer voice 200 vofr
 signal-type ext-signal

supervisory disconnect

no supervisory disconnect

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

Enabled

Command Modes

Voice-port configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.3 MA

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command indicates whether or not supervisory disconnect signalling is available on the FXO port. Supervisory disconnect signalling is a power denial from the switch lasting at least 350 milliseconds. When this condition is detected, the system interprets this as a disconnect indication from the switch and clears the call.

You should configure no supervisory disconnect on the voice port if there is no supervisory disconnect available from the switch.


Note If there is no disconnect supervision on the voice port, the interface could be left active if the caller abandons the call before the far end answers. After the router collects the dialed digits but before the called party answers, the router starts a tone detector. Within this time window, the tone detector listens for signals (such as a fast busy signal) that occur if the originating caller hangs up. If this occurs, the router will interpret those tones as a disconnect indication and close the window.

Examples

The following example configures supervisory disconnect on a Cisco 3600 series voice port:

voice-port 2/1/0
 supervisory disconnect
 

The following example configures supervisory disconnect on a Cisco MC3810 voice-port:

voice-port 1/1
 supervisory disconnect

(Optional) (Valid only when the mode cas command is enabled.) Specifies the voice signalling type of the voice port. If configuring a TDM group for data traffic only, do not specify the type keyword.

Choose from one of the following options:

  • e&m---for E&M signalling

  • fxo---for Foreign Exchange Office signalling (optionally, you can also specify loop-start or ground-start)

  • fxs---for Foreign Exchange Station signalling (optionally, you can also specify loop-start or ground-start)

  • e&m-melcas---for E&M Mercury Exchange Limited Channel-Associated Signalling (MEL CAS)

  • fxs-melcas--- for Foreign Exchange Station MEL CAS

  • fxo-melcas---for Foreign Exchange Office MEL CAS

The melcas options apply only to E1 lines and are used primarily in the United Kingdom.

11.3 MA

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to Voice over Frame Relay, Voice over ATM, and Voice over HDLC on the Cisco MC3810.


Note Channel groups, CAS voice groups, and TDM groups all use group numbers. All group numbers configured for channel groups, CAS voice groups and TDM groups must be unique on the local Cisco MC3810 concentrator. For example, you cannot use the same group number for a channel group and for a TDM group.

To specify a particular technology prefix be prepended to the destination pattern of a specific dial peer, use the tech-prefix command in dial-peer configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to disable the defined technology prefix for this dial peer.

tech-prefix number

no tech-prefix number

Syntax Description

number

Defines the numbers used as the technology prefix. Each technology prefix can contain up to 11 characters. Although not strictly necessary, a pound (#) symbol is frequently used as the last digit in a technology prefix. Valid characters are 0 though 9, the pound (#) symbol, and the asterisk (*).

Defaults

No technology prefix is defined.

Command Modes

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(6)NA2

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Technology prefixes are used to distinguish between gateways having specific capabilities within a given zone. In the exchange between the gateway and the gatekeeper, the technology prefix is used to select a gateway after the zone has been selected. Use the tech-prefix command to define technology prefixes.

Technology prefixes can be used as a discriminator so that the gateway can tell the gatekeeper that a certain technology is associated with a particular call (for example, 15# could mean a fax transmission), or it can be used like an area code for more generic routing. No standard defines what the numbers in a technology prefix mean; by convention, technology prefixes are designated by a pound (#) symbol as the last character.

In most cases, there is a dynamic protocol exchange between the gateway and the gatekeeper that enables the gateway to inform the gatekeeper about technology prefixes and where to forward calls. If, for some reason, that dynamic registry feature is not in effect, you can statically configure the gatekeeper to query the gateway for this information by configuring the gw-type-prefix command on the gatekeeper. Use the show gatekeeper gw-type-prefix to display how the gatekeeper has mapped the technology prefixes to local gateways.


Note Cisco gatekeepers use the asterisk (*) as a reserved character. If you are using Cisco gatekeepers, do not use the asterisk as part of the technology prefix.

Examples

The following example defines a technology prefix of 14# for the specified dial peer. In this example, the technology prefix means that the H.323 gateway will ask the RAS gatekeeper to direct calls using the technology prefix of 14#.

dial-peer voice 10 voip
 destination-pattern 14...
 tech-prefix 14#

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to both the Cisco 3600 series and the Cisco MC3810.

Use the type command to specify the E&M interface for a particular voice port. With 1, the tie-line equipment generates the E-signal to the PBX type grounding the E-lead. The tie-line equipment detects the M-signal by detecting current flow to ground. If you select 1, a common ground must exist between the line equipment and the PBX.

With 2, the interface requires no common ground between the equipment, thereby avoiding ground loop noise problems. The E-signal is generated toward the PBX by connecting it to SG. The M-signal is indicated by the PBX connecting it to SB. While Type 2 interfaces do not require a common ground, they do have the tendency to inject noise into the audio paths because they are asymmetrical with respect to the current flow between devices.


Note E&M Type 4 is not a supported option. However, Type 4 operates similarly to Type 2 except for the M-lead operation. On Type 4, the M-lead states are open/ground, compared to Type 2, which is open/battery. Type 4 can interface with Type 2. To use Type 4 you can set the E&M voice port to Type 2 and perform the necessary M-lead rewiring.

With 3, the interface operates the same as Type 1 interfaces with respect to the E-signal. The M-signal, however, is indicated by the PBX connecting it to SB on assertion and alternately connecting it to SG during inactivity. If you select 3, a common ground must be shared between equipment.

With 5, the Type 5 line equipment indicates E-signal to the PBX by grounding the E-lead. The PBX indicates M-signal by grounding the M-lead. A Type 5 interface is quasi-symmetrical in that while the line is up, current flow is more or less equal between the PBX and the line equipment, but noise injection is a problem.

Examples

The following example selects Type 3 as the interface type for your voice port on the Cisco 3600 series:

voice-port 1/0/0
 type 3
 

The following example selects Type 3 as the interface type for your voice port on the Cisco MC3810:

unbundle vfc

To unbundle DSPWare from the VCWare and configure the default file and capability lists with default values, use the unbundle vfc command in privileged EXEC mode.

unbundle [high-complexity | medium-complexity] vfc slot-number

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(2)NA

This command was introduced.

12.0(2)XH

The high-complexity and medium-complexity keywords were added.

Usage Guidelines

VFCs come with a single bundled image, VCWare, stored in VFC Flash memory. Use the unbundle vfc command to unbundle this bundled image into separate files, which are then written to Flash memory. 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 default file list includes the files that will be used to boot up the system. The capability list defines the available voice codecs for H.323 capability negotiation. These files are used during initial card configuration and for subsequent firmware upgrades.

Before unbundling a VFC software image that you have just copied over to VFC flash, use the clear vfc command. Unbundling a DSP firmware set rewrites the default-file and capabilities lists. After unbundling, you must reload the router for any changes to take effect.

Examples

The following example unbundles the high-complexity firmware set into slot 2:

router# unbundle high-comp vfc 2

no use-proxy local-zone-name remote-zone remote-zone-name [{inbound-to | outbound-from}{gateway | terminal}]

Syntax Description

local-zone-name

The name or zone name of the gatekeeper, which is usually the fully domain-qualified host name of the gatekeeper. For example, if the domain name is cisco.com, the gatekeeper name might be gk1.cisco.com. However, if the gatekeeper is controlling multiple zones, the name of the gatekeeper for each zone should be a unique string that has a mnemonic value.

default

Defines the default proxy policy for all calls that are not defined by a use-proxy command with the remote-zone keyword.

remote-zone remote-zone-name

Defines a proxy policy for calls to or from a specific remote gatekeeper or zone.

inbound-to

Applies the proxy policy to calls that are inbound to the local zone from a remote zone. Each use-proxy command defines the policy for only one direction.

outbound-from

Applies the proxy policy to calls that are outbound from the local zone to a remote zone. Each use-proxy command defines the policy for only one direction.

gateway

Defines the type of local device to which the policy applies. The gateway option applies the policy only to local gateways.

terminal

Defines the type of local device to which the policy applies. The terminal option applies the policy only to local terminals.

Defaults

The local zone uses proxy for both inbound and outbound calls to and from the local H.323 terminals only. Proxy is not used for both inbound and outbound calls to and from local gateways.

Command Modes

Command History
Release Modification

12.0(5)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command replaces the zone access command used in the previous versions of the gatekeeper. When a previous version of gatekeeper is upgraded, any zone access commands are translated to use-proxy commands. You can use the show gatekeeper zone status command to see the gatekeeper proxy configuration.

Examples

In the following example, the local zone sj.xyz.com is configured to use a proxy for inbound calls from remote zones tokyo.xyz.com and milan.xyz.com to gateways in its local zone. The sj.xyz.com zone is also configured to use a proxy for outbound calls from gateways in its local zone to remote zones tokyo.xyz.com and milan.xyz.com:

use-proxy sj.xyz.com remote-zone tokyo.xyz.com inbound-to gateway
use-proxy sj.xyz.com remote-zone tokyo.xyz.com outbound-from gateway
use-proxy sj.xyz.com remote-zone milan.xyz.com inbound-to gateway
use-proxy sj.xyz.com remote-zone milan.xyz.com outbound-from gateway
 

Because the default mode disables proxy communications for all gateway calls, only the gateway call scenarios listed above can use the proxy.

In the following example, the local zone sj.xyz.com uses a proxy for only those calls that are outbound from H.323 terminals in its local zone to the specified remote zone germany.xyz.com:

no use-proxy sj.xyz.com default outbound-from terminal
use-proxy sj.xyz.com remote-zone germany.xyz.com outbound-from terminal
 

Note that any calls inbound to H.323 terminals in the local zone sj.xyz.com from the remote zone germany.xyz.com use the proxy because the default applies.

The following example shows how to remove one or more proxy statements for the remote zone germany.xyz.com from the proxy configuration list:

no use-proxy sj.xyz.com remote-zone germany.xyz.com
 

The command above removes all special proxy configurations for the remote zone germany.xyz.com. After you enter a command like this, all calls between the local zone (sj.xyz.com) and germany.xyz.com are processed according to the defaults defined by any use-proxy commands that use the default option.

To prohibit proxy use for inbound calls to H.323 terminals in a local zone from a specified remote zone, enter a command similar to the following command:

no use-proxy sj.xyz.com remote-zone germany.xyz.com inbound-to terminal
 

This command overrides the default and disables proxy use for inbound calls from remote zone germany.xyz.com to all H.323 terminals in the local zone sj.xyz.com.

12.0(4)T

First supported as a dial-peer command on the Cisco MC3810 (in prior releases vad was only available as a voice-port command).

Usage Guidelines

Use the vad command to enable voice activity detection. With VAD, silence is not sent over the network, only audible speech. If you enable VAD, the sound quality is slightly degraded, but the connection monopolizes much less bandwidth. If you use the no form of this command, VAD is disabled and voice data is continuously sent to the IP backbone.

On the Cisco MC3810, VAD can also be assigned to the voice port using the vad voice-port configuration command. On the Cisco MC3810, if you enable VAD on the dial peer for Voice over Frame Relay switched calls or permanent calls, the dial peer setting overrides the VAD setting on the voice port.

vofr

To enable Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) on a specific DLCI and to configure specific subchannels on that DLCI, use the vofr command in Frame Relay DLCI configuration mode. Use the no form of the command to disable VoFR on a specific DLCI.

vofr [[cisco] | [[data cid] [call-control [cid]]]]

no vofr [[cisco] | [[data cid] [call-control [cid]]]]

Syntax Description

cisco

(Optional) Cisco proprietary voice encapsulation for VoFR with data carried on CID 4 and call-control on CID 5. This option is required on the Cisco MC3810 for applications using switched calls or Cisco trunks.

data

(Optional) Used to select a subchannel (CID) for data other than the default subchannel, which is 4.

cid

(Optional) Specifies the subchannel to be used for data. Valid values are from 4 to 255; the default is 4. If data is specified, a valid CID must be entered.

call-control

(Optional) Used to specify that a subchannel will be reserved for call-control signalling. This option is not supported on the Cisco MC3810.

cid

(Optional) Specifies the subchannel to be used for call-control signalling. Valid values are from 4 to 255; the default is 5. If call-control is specified and a CID is not entered, the default CID will be used.

Defaults

12.0(4)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

For switched-vofr calls, use the vofr cisco or vofr call-control command on the Cisco 2600 series, 3600 series, and 7200 series routers. Switched-vofr calls cannot be made using the vofr command by itself, or the vofr data cid command.

When the vofr command is used without the cisco keyword, all subchannels on the DLCI are configured for FRF.11 encapsulation. If the vofr command is entered without any keywords or arguments, the data subchannel will be CID 4 and there will be no call-control subchannel.

Table 69 describes special conditions and restrictions for the use of the vofr command on the Cisco MC3810.


Table 69: Using the vofr Command with the Cisco MC3810
Type of Call Conditions and Restrictions

FRF.11 trunks

  • Do NOT use cisco option or call-control option.

  • Use vofr or vofr data cid.

Cisco trunks

Must use vofr cisco.

switched-vofr

Must use vofr cisco.


Note On the Cisco MC3810 only, the vofr cisco command performs the same function as the frame-relay interface-dlci voice-encap interface configuration command. Either command is required to enable Voice over Frame Relay. The vofr cisco command and the frame-relay interface-dlci voice-encap command are mutually exclusive, so you must choose which command to use. The vofr cisco command uses weighted fair queueing, which reduces the throughput but provides greater control over the queueing function. The frame-relay interface-dlci voice-encap option does not support queueing, which provides greater throughput.

If the data keyword is selected, a numeric value must be entered to complete the command. If the call-control keyword is selected, you need not enter a numeric value if you wish to accept the default call-control subchannel. See the examples below for clarification.

When the vofr command is used on a Cisco MC3810 without the cisco keyword, switched calls are not permitted. Only permanent FRF.11-trunk calls can be made.


Note It is not possible to configure the call-control keyword on a Cisco MC3810. If this option is configured, the setting is ignored.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable VoFR on Serial 1/1, DLCI 100 on a Cisco 2600 series, 3600 series, or 7200 series router or on an MC3810 concentrator, starting from global configuration mode:

interface serial 1/1
 frame-relay interface-dlci 100
  vofr
 

The above example configures CID 4 for data; no call-control CID is defined.

The following example configures CID 4 for data, CID 5 for call-control (both defaults):

vofr call-control
 

The following example configures CID10 for data, CID 15 for call-control:

vofr data 10 call-control 15
 

The following example configures CID 4 for data, CID 15 for call-control:

vofr call-control 15
 

The following example configures CID 10 for data, CID 5 for call-control:

vofr data 10 call-control
 

To configure CID 10 for data with no call-control, enter the following command:

vofr data 10

12.0(5)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies only to routers acting as tandem nodes in a Voice over Frame Relay environment.

This command is used for a configuration in which a tandem router is configured with multiple dial peer entries that route a call to the same destination number, but on different destination routers. In this configuration, after all routes to the first router entry in the dial-peer list are active, a new call will not "roll over" to the next router in the dial-peer list.

This failure to route to the second destination router happens when the bandwidth on the Voice over Frame Relay interface is greater than the maximum capacity of the first destination router. This condition allows the tandem router to attempt to place a new call to the first router because it has indications from the first router that there is more capacity based on the bandwidth setting. When the first destination router receives the call, if all of the ports are in use, the destination router returns a "user-busy" disconnect reason code to the tandem router. The tandem router interprets the disconnect reason code as meaning there is no available destination for the call, causing it to return a busy tone to the initiating caller

The tandem router fails to try other routers in the dial-peer list after receiving a "user disconnect" reason code, and so it terminates the call attempt. Using this command, you can perform dial-peer hunting on multiple destination routers even if the tandem router receives a "user-busy" disconnect reason code from one of the destination routers.

Examples

The following example configures the tandem router to continue dial-peer hunting if it receives a "user-busy" disconnect code from a destination router:

Usage Guidelines

By default, a gatekeeper will offer a local proxy IP address when queried by a remote gatekeeper about a target local endpoint. This is considered proxied access. By using the zone access command, you can configure the local gatekeeper to offer the local endpoint address instead of the local proxy address. This is considered direct access.


Note The zone access command, configured on your local gatekeeper, only affects the use of proxies for incoming calls (that is, it does not affect the use of local proxies for outbound calls). When originating a call, a gatekeeper will use a proxy only if the remote gatekeeper offers a proxy at the remote end. A call between two endpoints in the same zone will always be a direct (nonproxied) call.

You can define the accessibility behavior of a local zone relative to certain remote zones using the remote-zone remote-zone-name keyword and argument combination with the direct or proxied keyword. You can define the default behavior of a local zone relative to all other remote zones using the default keyword with the direct or proxied keywords. To remove an explicitly named remote zone so that it is governed by the default-behavior rule, use the no zone access command.

Examples

The following example allows direct access to the local zone eng.xyz.com from remote zones within xyz corporation. All other remote locations will have proxied access to eng.xzy.com.

zone local eng.xyz.com xyz.com
zone access eng.xyz.com remote-zone mfg.xyz.com direct
zone access eng.xyz.com remote-zone mktg.xyz.com direct
zone access eng.xyz.com remote-zone sales.xyz.com direct
zone access eng.xyz.com default proxied
 

The following example supposes that only local gatekeepers within xyz.com have direct access to each other because your corporation has firewalls or you do not advertise your gatekeepers externally. You have excellent QoS within your corporate network, except for a couple of foreign offices. In this case, use proxies with the foreign offices (in Milan and Tokyo) and nowhere else.

zone local sanjose.xyz.com xyz.com
zone access sanjose.xyz.com default direct
zone access sanjose.xyz.com remote-zone milan.xyz.com proxied
zone access sanjose.xyz.com remote-zone tokyo.xyz.com proxied

zone local gatekeeper-name domain-name [rasIPaddress]

no zone local gatekeeper-name domain-name

Syntax Description

gatekeeper-name

The gatekeeper's name or zone name. This is usually the fully domain-qualified host name of the gatekeeper. For example, if the domain-name is cisco.com, the gatekeeper-name might be gk1.cisco.com. However, if the gatekeeper is controlling multiple zones, the gatekeeper-name for each zone should be some unique string that has a mnemonic value.

domain-name

The domain name served by this gatekeeper.

rasIPaddress

(Optional) The IP address of one of the interfaces on the gatekeeper. When the gatekeeper responds to gatekeeper discovery messages, it signals the endpoint or gateway to use this address in future communications.


Note Setting this address for one local zone makes it the address used for all local zones.

Defaults

No local zone is defined.


Note The gatekeeper cannot operate without at least one local zone definition. Without local zones, the gatekeeper goes to an inactive state when the no shutdown command is issued.

Usage Guidelines

Multiple local zones can be defined. The gatekeeper manages all configured local zones. Intra-zone and inter-zone behavior remains the same (zones are controlled by the same or different gatekeepers).

Only one rasIPaddress argument can be defined for all local zones. You cannot configure each zone to use a different RAS IP address. If you define this in the first zone definition, you can omit it for all subsequent zones, which automatically pick up this address. If you set it in a subsequent zone local command, it changes the RAS address of all previously configured local zones as well. Once defined, you can change it by re-issuing any zone local command with a different rasIPaddress argument.

If the rasIPaddress argument is an HSRP virtual address, it automatically puts the gatekeeper into HSRP mode. In this mode, the gatekeeper assumes STANDBY or ACTIVE status according to whether the HSRP interface is on STANDBY or ACTIVE status.

You cannot remove a local zone if there are endpoints or gateways registered in it. To remove the local zone, shut down the gatekeeper first, which forces unregistration.

Multiple zones are controlled by multiple logical gatekeepers on the same Cisco IOS platform.

The maximum number of local zones defined in a gatekeeper should not exceed 100.

This command can also be used to change the IP address used by the gatekeeper.

Examples

The following example creates a zone controlled by a gatekeeper in the domain called cisco.com:

zone local gk1.cisco.com cisco.com

zone prefix

To add a prefix to the gatekeeper zone list, use the zone prefix command in gatekeeper configuration mode. To remove knowledge of a zone prefix, use the no form of this command with the gatekeeper name and prefix. To remove the priority assignment for a specific gateway, use the no form of this command with the gw-priority option.

zone prefix gatekeeper-name e164-prefix [gw-priority pri-0-to-10 gw-alias [gw-alias, ...]]

no zone prefix gatekeeper-name e164-prefix [gw-priority pri-0-to-10 gw-alias [gw-alias, ...]]

Syntax Description

gatekeeper-name

The name of a local or remote gatekeeper, which must have been defined by using the zone local or zone remote command.

e164-prefix

An E.164 prefix in standard form followed by dots (.). Each dot represent a number in the E.164 address. For example, 212....... is matched by 212 and any seven numbers.

Note Although a dot representing each digit in an E.164 address is the preferred configuration method, you can also enter an asterisk (*) to match any number of digits.

gw-priority pri-0-to-10 gw-alias

(Optional) Use the gw-priority option to define how the gatekeeper selects gateways in its local zone for calls to numbers beginning with prefix e164-prefix. Do not use this option to set priority levels for a prefix assigned to a remote gatekeeper.

Use values from 0 to 10. A 0 value prevents the gatekeeper from using the gateway gw-alias for that prefix. Value 10 places the highest priority on gateway gw-alias. If you do not specify a priority value for a gateway, the value 5 is assigned.

To assign the same priority value for one prefix to multiple gateways, list all the gateway names after the pri-0-to-10 value.

The gw-alias name is the H.323 ID of a gateway that is registered or will register with the gatekeeper. This name is set on the gateway with the h323-gateway voip h.323-id command.

Defaults

No knowledge of its own prefix or the prefix of any other zone is defined.

Usage Guidelines

A gatekeeper can handle more than one zone prefix, but a zone prefix cannot be shared by more than one gatekeeper. If you have defined a zone prefix as being handled by a gatekeeper and now define it as being handled by a second gatekeeper, the second assignment cancels the first.

If you need a gatekeeper to handle more than one prefix, but for cost reasons you want to be able to group its gateways by prefix usage, there are two ways to do it.

The first method is simpler, has less overhead, and is recommended if your gateways can be divided into distinct groups, where each group is to be used for a different set of prefixes. For instance, if a group of gateways is used for calling area codes 408 and 650, and another group is used for calling area code 415, you can use this method. In this case, you define a local zone for each set of prefixes, and have the group of gateways to be used for that set of prefixes register with that specific local zone. Do not define any gateway priorities. All gateways in each local zone are treated equally in the selection process.

However, if your gateways cannot be cleanly divided into nonintersecting groups (for instance if one gateway is used for calls to 408 and 415 and another gateway is used for calls to 415 and 650, and so on), you can put all these gateways in the same local zone and use the gw-priority option to define which gateways will be used for which prefixes.

When choosing a gateway, the gatekeeper first looks for the longest zone prefix match; then it uses the priority and the gateway status to select from the gateways. If all gateways are available, the gatekeeper chooses the highest priority gateway. If all the highest priority gateways are busy (see the gateway resource threshold command), a lower priority gateway is selected.


Note The zone prefix command matches a prefix to a gateway. It does not register the gateway. The gateway must register with the gatekeeper before calls can be completed through that gateway.

Examples

The following example shows how you can define multiple local zones for separating your gateways:

zone local gk408or650 xyz.com
zone local gk415 xyz.com
zone prefix gk408or650 408.......
zone prefix gk408or650 650.......
zone prefix gk415 415.......
 

Now you need to configure all the gateways to be used for area codes 408 or 650 to register with gk408or650 and all gateways to be used for area code 415 to register with gk415. On Cisco voice gateways, you configure the gateways to register with the appropriate gatekeepers by using the h323 voip id command.

The following example shows how you can put all your gateways in the same zone but use the gw-priority keyword to determine which gateways will be used for calling different area codes:

zone local localgk xyz.com
zone prefix localgk 408.......
zone prefix localgk 415....... gw-pri 10 gw1 gw2
zone prefix localgk 650....... gw-pri 0 gw1
 

The commands shown accomplish the following tasks:

A priority 0 is assigned to gateway gw1 to exclude it from the gateway pool for prefix 650........ When gateway gw2 registers with gatekeeper localgk, it is added to the gateway pool for each prefix as follows:

The following example changes gateway gw2 from priority 10 for zone 415....... to the default priority 5:

no zone prefix localgk 415....... gw-pri 10 gw2
 

The following example changes both gateways gw1 and gw2 from priority 10 for zone 415....... to the default priority 5:

no zone prefix localgk 415....... gw-pri 10 gw1 gw2
 

In the preceding example, the prefix 415....... remains assigned to gatekeeper localgk. All gateways that do not specify a priority level for this prefix are assigned a default priority of 5. The following example removes the prefix and all associated gateways and priorities from this gatekeeper:

no zone prefix localgk 415.......

11.3(2)NA and 12.0(3)T

Usage Guidelines

All gatekeepers do not have to be in DNS. For those that are not, use the zone remote command so that the local gatekeeper knows how to access them. In addition, you may wish to improve call response time slightly for frequently accessed zones. If the zone remote command is configured for a particular zone, you do not need to make a DNS lookup transaction.

The maximum number of zones defined on a gatekeeper varies depending on the mode or the call model or both. For example, a directory gatekeeper may be in the mode of being responsible for forwarding LRQs and not handling any local registrations and calls; The call model might be E.164 addressed calls instead of H.323-ID addressed calls.

For a directory gatekeeper that does not handle local registrations and calls, the maximum remote zones defined should not exceed 10,000; An additional 4 MB of memory is required to store this maximum number of remote zones.

For a gatekeeper that handles local registrations and only E.164 addressed calls, the number of remote zones defined should not exceed 2000.

For a gatekeeper that handles H.323-ID calls, the number of remote zones defined should not exceed 200.

Examples

The following example configures the local gatekeeper to reach targets of the form xxx.cisco.com by sending queries to the gatekeeper named sj3.cisco.com at IP address 1.2.3.4:

zone remote sj3.cisco.com cisco.com 1.2.3.4

Usage Guidelines

You can use the zone subnet command more than once to create a list of subnets controlled by a gatekeeper. The subnet masks do not have to match actual subnets in use at your site. For example, to specify a particular endpoint, you can supply its address with a 32-bit netmask.

Examples

The following example starts by disabling the gatekeeper, gk1.cisco.com, from accepting discovery and registration messages from all subnets. Next, gk1.cisco.com is configured to accept discovery and registration messages from all H.323 nodes on the subnet 172.21.127.0. In addition, gk1.cisco.com is configured to accept discovery and registration messages from a particular endpoint with the IP address 172.21.128.56.

no zone subnet gk1.cisco.com default enable
zone subnet gk1.cisco.com 172.21.127.0/24 enable
