Multiservice Route Processor Commands

Multiservice Route Processor Commands

This chapter describes the commands for configuring and monitoring the multiservice route processor (MRP) in alphabetical order.


Note   This chapter describes the use of IOS commands that have been created or changed for use with the MRP that supports IOS Release 12.1(4)T. The complete IOS Release 12.1 documentation is available through CCO by selecting Service and Support > Technical Documents > Documentation Home Page > Cisco IOS Software Configuration > Cisco IOS Release 12.1.

Restrictions for CLI Usage


Caution Cisco strongly recommends that you use only the Cisco ICS 7700 System Manager (also referred to as the System Manager) GUI interface to define and manipulate the MRP configurations that are supported by this interface. It is possible for a user with sufficient knowledge to change configurations by direct interaction with the system components through the command-line-interface (CLI). However, if there are problems due to CLI configuration, you will not be able to use the System Manager to recover.

It is also recommended that the following list of tasks should not be done through the CLI, because they are configured through the System Manager and might conflict with its configurations:

Accessing the MRP CLI

To configure the MRP through the CLI, you must access the MRP through the system alarm processor (SAP). For more information on how to get the CLI prompt on the MRP, refer to the chapter "Accessing the System" in the Cisco ICS 7750 Software Configuration Guide.

Saving Configuration Changes

To prevent the loss of the MRP configuration, save the running-config file to the startup-config file by following these steps:

Command Purpose

Step 1 

MRP> enable

Password: password

MRP# 

Enter enable mode.

Enter the password.

You have entered enable mode when the prompt changes to MRP#.

Step 2 

MRP# copy running-config startup-config

Save the configuration changes to the startup-config file so that they are not lost during resets, power cycles, or power outages.

acc-qos

To generate a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) event if the quality of service (QoS) for a dial peer drops below a specified level, use the acc-qos dial-peer configuration command. Use the no form of this command to use the default value for this feature.

acc-qos {best-effort | controlled-load | guaranteed-delay}

no acc-qos

Syntax Description

best-effort

Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) makes no bandwidth reservation.

controlled-load

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 assure that preferential service is received even when the bandwidth is overloaded.

guaranteed-delay

RSVP reserves bandwidth and guarantees a minimum bit rate and preferential queuing if the bandwidth reserved is not exceeded.

Defaults

best-effort. Using the no form of this command is the same as the default.

Command Modes

Dial-peer configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the acc-qos dial-peer command to generate an SNMP event if the QoS for a 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 QoS can be provided. The IOS software uses RSVP to request QoS 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 IOS software generates a trap message when the bandwidth required to provide the selected QoS is not available.

This command only applies to voice-over-IP (VoIP) peers.

Examples

The following example selects guaranteed-delay as the specified level below which an SNMP trap message is generated:

dial-peer voice 10 voip
 acc-qos guaranteed-delay

Related Commands
Command Description

req-qos

Specifies the desired quality of service to be used in reaching a specified dial peer in VoIP.

answer-address

To specify the full E.164 telephone number to be used to identify the dial peer of an incoming call, use the answer-address dial-peer configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable this feature.

answer-address [+] string

no answer-address

Syntax Description

+

(Optional) Character indicating an E.164 standard number.

string

Series of digits that specify the E.164 or private dialing plan telephone number:

  • Digits 0 through 9, letters A through D, pound sign (#), and asterisk (*), which represent specific digits that can be entered.

  • Plus sign (+), which is optionally used as the first digit to indicate an E.164 standard number.

  • Comma (,), which inserts a pause between digits.

  • Period (.), which is used as a wild-card character and matches any entered digit.

Defaults

Enabled with a null string.

Command Modes

Dial-peer configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

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 dial peer associated with the interface is associated with the incoming call.

For calls coming in from a basic telephone service, or plain old telephone service (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.

This command applies to both voice-over-IP (VoIP) and POTS dial peers.


Note   The 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 14085559626 as the dial peer of an incoming call:

dial-peer voice 10 pots
 answer-address 14085559626

Related Commands
Command Description

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

Associates a dial peer with a specific voice port.

prefix

Specifies the prefix of the dialed digits for this dial peer.

timeouts interdigit

Configures the interdigit timeout value for a specified voice port.

channel-group

Use the channel-group controller configuration command to define the timeslots that belong to each T1 data circuit. Use the no form of this command to clear the timeslots for the T1.

channel-group number timeslots range [speed 64]

no channel-group

Syntax Description

number

Channel group number. When configuring a T1 data line, channel group numbers can be values from 0 to 23.

timeslots range

One or more timeslots or ranges of timeslots belonging to the channel group. The first timeslot is numbered 1. For a T1 controller, the timeslot range is from 1 to 24. For an E1 controller, the timeslot range is from 1 to 31.

speed {64}

(Optional) Line speed (in kilobits per second) of the T1 link.

Defaults

64 kbps

Command Modes

Controller configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use this command in configurations where the MRP must communicate with a T1 fractional data line. The channel group number can be arbitrarily assigned and must be unique for the controller. The timeslot range must match the timeslots assigned to the channel group. The service provider defines the timeslots that comprise a channel group.

Examples

The following example defines three channel groups. Channel group 0 consists of a single timeslot, channel group 8 consists of 7 timeslots and runs at a speed of 64 kbps per timeslot, and channel group 12 consists of two timeslots.

channel-group 0 timeslots 1
channel-group 8 timeslots 5,7,12-15,20 speed 64
channel-group 12 timeslots 2

Related Commands
Command Description

framing

Specifies the type of framing used by the T1 channels.

linecode

Specifies the type of line coding used by the T1 channels.

ds0-group

Defines the timeslots that belong to each T1voice circuit.

codec

To specify the voice coder rate of speech for a dial peer, use the codec dial-peer configuration command. Use the no form of this command to reset the default value for this command.

codec {g711alaw | g711ulaw | g729r8}

no codec

Syntax Description

g711alaw

G.711 A-Law 64,000 bits per second (bps).

g711ulaw

G.711 U-Law 64,000 bps.

g729r8

G.729 8000 bps.

Defaults

g729r8 (G.729 8000 bps)

Command Modes

Dial-peer configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the codec command to define a specific voice coder rate of speech for a dial peer.

For toll quality, use g711alaw or g711ulaw. These values provide high-quality voice transmission but use a significant amount of bandwidth. For almost toll quality (and a significant savings in bandwidth), use the g729r8 value.

If codec-command values for the voice-over-IP (VoIP) peers of a connection do not match, the call fails.

This command only applies to VoIP peers.

Examples

The following example configures a voice coder rate that provides toll quality and uses a relatively high amount of bandwidth:

dial-peer voice 10 voip
 codec g711alaw

comfort-noise

To specify whether or not background noise should be generated, use the comfort-noise voice-port configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable this feature.

comfort-noise

no comfort-noise

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

Enabled.

Command Modes

Voice-port configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the comfort-noise command to generate background noise to fill silent gaps during calls if voice activity detection (VAD) is activated. If comfort noise is not enabled and VAD is enabled at the remote end of the connection, the user hears dead silence when the remote party is not speaking.

The configuration of comfort noise only affects the silence generated at the local interface; it does not affect the use of VAD on either end of the connection or the silence generated at the remote end of the connection.

Examples

The following example enables background noise:

voice port 0/0
 comfort-noise

Related Commands
Command Description

vad (dial-peer configuration)

Enables VAD for the calls using a particular dial peer.

vad (voice-port configuration)

Enables VAD for the calls using a particular voice port.

connection

To specify a connection mode for a specified voice port, use the connection voice-port configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable the selected connection mode.

connection {plar | trunk} string

no connection {plar | trunk} string

Syntax Description

plar

Private line auto ringdown (PLAR) connection. PLAR connection associates a dial peer directly with an interface; when an interface goes off-hook, the dial peer sets up the second call leg and creates a conference call without the caller having to dial any digits.

trunk

Straight tie-line connection to a private branch exchange (PBX).

string

Destination telephone number. Valid entries are any series of digits that specify the E.164 telephone number.

Defaults

No connection.

Command Modes

Voice-port configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.1(3)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the connection command to specify a connection mode for a specific interface. Use the connection plar command to specify a PLAR interface. The string you configure for this command is used as the called number for all calls coming in over this voice port. The destination dial peer is determined on the basis of this called number.

Use the connection trunk command to specify a straight tie-line connection to a PBX. This command can be used for E&M-to-E&M trunks, FXO-to-FXS trunks, and FXS-to-FXS trunks. Signaling is transported for E&M-to-E&M trunks and FXO-to-FXS trunks; signaling will not be transported for FXS-to-FXS trunks.

If the connection command is not configured, the standard session application creates a dial tone when the interface goes off-hook until enough digits are collected to match a dial peer and complete the call.

Examples

The following example selects plar as the connection mode and a destination telephone number of 14085559262:

voice port 0/0
 connection plar 14085559262

The following example selects trunk as the connection mode and a destination telephone number of 14085559262:

voice port 0/0
 connection trunk 14085559262

destination-pattern

To specify either the prefix or the full E.164 telephone number (depending on your dial plan) to be used for a dial peer, use the destination-pattern dial-peer configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable the configured prefix or telephone number.

destination-pattern [+]string[t]

no destination-pattern

Syntax Description

+

(Optional) Character indicating an E.164 standard number.

string

Series of digits that specify the E.164 or private dialing plan telephone number. Valid entries are the digits 0 through 9, the letters A through D, and the following special characters:

  • The asterisk (*) and pound sign (#) that appear on standard touch-tone dial pads. These characters cannot be used as leading characters in a string (for example, *650).

  • Comma (,), which inserts a pause between digits.

  • Period (.), which matches any entered digit (this character is used as a wildcard). The period cannot be used as a leading character in a string (for example, .650).

t

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to both voice-over-IP (VoIP) and basic telephone service, or plain old telephone service (POTS) dial peers on all platforms.

Use the destination-pattern command to define the E.164 telephone number for this dial peer.

This pattern is used to match dialed digits to a dial peer. The dial peer is then used to complete the call. When a router receives voice data, it compares the called number (the full E.164 telephone number) in the packet header with the number configured as the destination pattern for the voice-telephony peer. The router then strips out the left-justified numbers corresponding to the destination pattern. If you have configured a prefix, the prefix is added to the front of the remaining numbers, creating a dial string that the router then dials. If all numbers in the destination pattern are stripped out, the user receives a dial tone.

There are 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 destination-pattern value is a variable-length dial-string. In this case, the system does not match the dialed numbers until the interdigit timeout value has expired.


Note   The 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, 555-7922, for a dial peer:

dial-peer voice 10 pots
 destination-pattern +5557922

Related Commands
Command Description

Configures the interdigit timeout value for a specified voice port.

dial-control-mib

To specify attributes for the call history table, use the dial-control-mib global configuration command.

dial-control-mib {max-size number | retain-timer number}

Syntax Description

max-size number

Maximum size of the call history table. Valid entries are from 0 to 500 table entries. A value of 0 prevents any history from being retained.

retain-timer number

Number of minutes for retaining entries in the call history table. Valid entries are from 0 to 2147483647 minutes. A value of 0 prevents any history from being retained.

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the dial-type command to specify an out-dialing type for a foreign-exchange-office (FXO) or receive-and-transmit (E&M) voice port interface. This command is not applicable to foreign-exchange-station (FXS) voice ports, because they do not generate out-dialing. Voice ports can always detect dtmf and pulse signals. This command does not affect voice-port dialing detection.

The dial-type command affects out-dialing as configured for the dial peer.

Examples

The following example configures a voice port to support a touch-tone dialer:

voice-port 1/0/0
 dial-type dtmf
 

The following example configures a voice port to support a rotary (pulse tone) dialer:

voice-port 1/1

Syntax Description

number

Channel group number. When configuring a T1 voice line, channel group numbers can be values from 0 to 23.

timeslots range

One or more timeslots or ranges of timeslots belonging to the channel group. The first timeslot is numbered 1. The timeslot range is from 1 to 24.

type

Type of signaling for the voice port. Signaling types include e&m-immediate-start, e&m-delay-dial, e&m-wink-start, fxs-ground-start, fxs-loop-start, fxo-ground-start, and fxo-loop-start.

Defaults

No channel group number is assigned.

Command Modes

Controller configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use this command in configurations where the MRP must communicate with a T1 line. The channel group number may be arbitrarily assigned and must be unique for the controller. The timeslot range must match the timeslots assigned to the channel group. The service provider defines the timeslots that comprise a channel group.

Examples

The following example defines one channel group. Channel group 1 consists of 24 timeslots.

ds0-group 1 timeslots 1-24 type e&m-wink

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the echo-cancel coverage command to adjust the coverage size of the echo canceller. This command enables cancellation of voice that is sent out the interface and received back on the same interface within the configured amount of time. If the local loop (the distance from the analog interface to the connected equipment producing the echo) is longer, the configured value of this command should be extended.

If you configure a longer value for this command, it takes the echo canceller longer to converge. in This case, the user might hear a slight echo when the connection is initially set up. If the configured value for this command is too short, the user might hear an echo for the duration of the call, because the echo canceller is not cancelling the longer delay echoes.

There is no echo or echo cancellation on the network (non-basic telephone service) side of the connection.


Note   This command is valid only if the echo cancel feature has been enabled. For more information, see the echo-cancel enable command.

Examples

The following example adjusts the size of the echo canceller to 16 milliseconds:

voice-port 1/0
 echo-cancel enable

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The echo-cancel enable command enables cancellation of voice signals that is sent from the interface and is transmitted back to the same interface. Sound that is transmitted back in this manner is perceived by the listener as an echo. Disabling echo cancellation might cause the remote side of a connection to generate an echo. Because echo cancellation is an invasive process that can minimally degrade voice quality, this command should be disabled if it is not needed.

The echo-cancel enable command does not affect the echo heard by the user on the analog side of the connection.

There is no echo path for a four-wire receive-and-transmit (E&M) interface. The echo canceller should be disabled for that type of interface.


Note   This command is valid only if the echo-cancel coverage command has been configured. For more information, refer to the echo-cancel coverage command.

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the fax-rate command to specify the fax transmission rate to the specified dial peer.

The values for this command apply only to the fax transmission speed and do not affect the quality of the fax itself. The higher values provide a faster transmission speed but monopolize a significantly larger portion of the available bandwidth. Slower transmission speeds use less bandwidth.

If the fax-rate command is set above the CODEC rate in the same dial peer, the data sent over the network for fax transmission will be above the bandwidth reserved for Resource Reservation Protocol (RVSP). Because more network bandwidth will be monopolized by the fax transmission, we do not recommend setting the fax-rate value higher than the codec value. If the fax-rate value is set lower than the codec value, faxes will take longer to transmit but will use less bandwidth.

This command only applies to voice-over-IP (VoIP) peers.

Examples

The following example configures a transmission speed of 9600 bps for faxes sent to a dial peer:

dial-peer voice 10 voip
 fax-rate 9600

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the impedance command to specify the terminating impedance of a foreign-exchange-office (FXO) voice-port interface. The impedance value selected needs to match the specifications from the specific telephony system to which it is connected. Different countries often have different standards for impedance. Central office (CO) switches in the United States are predominantly 600r. Private branch exchanges (PBXs) in the United States are normally either 600r or 900c.

If the impedance is set incorrectly (if there is an impedance mismatch), there will be a significant amount of echo generated (which could be masked if the echo-cancel command has been enabled). In addition, gains might not work correctly if there is an impedance mismatch.

Configuring the impedance on a voice port will change the impedance on both voice ports. This voice port must be shut down and then opened for the new value to take effect.

This command applies to FXS, FXO, and receive-and-transmit (E&M) voice ports.

Examples

The following example configures an FXO voice port for a terminating impedance of 600 ohms:

voice-port 1/0
 impedance 600r
 

input gain

To configure a specific input gain value, use the input gain voice-port configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable the selected amount of inserted gain.

Defaults

0 dB

Command Modes

Voice-port configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

A system-wide loss plan must be implemented using both input gain and output attenuation commands. Other equipment (including private branch exchanges [PBXs]) in the system must be taken into account when creating a loss plan. This default value for this command assumes that a standard transmission loss plan is in effect, meaning that, normally, there must be -6dB attenuation between phones. Connections are implemented to provide -6dB of attenuation when the input gain and output attenuation commands are configured with the default value of 0.

You cannot increase the gain of a signal going out into the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), but you can decrease it. Therefore, if the voice level is too high, you can decrease the volume by either decreasing the input gain value or by increasing the output attenuation.

You can increase the gain of a signal coming in to the router. If the voice level is too low, you can increase the input gain.

Examples

The following example configures a 3-dB gain to be inserted at the receiver side of the interface:

port 1/0
 input gain 3

ip precedence

To set IP precedence (priority) for packets sent by the dial peer, use the ip precedence dial-peer configuration command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default value for this command.

ip precedence number

no ip precedence

Syntax Description

number

Integer specifying the IP precedence value. Valid entries are 0 to 7. A value of 0 means that no precedence (priority) has been set.

Defaults

No precedence (0).

Command Modes

Dial-peer configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the ip precedence command to configure the value set in the IP precedence field when voice data packets are sent over the IP network. This command should be used if the IP link utilization is high and the QoS for voice packets need to have a higher priority than other IP packets. The ip precedence command should also be used if Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) is not enabled and the user would like to give voice packets a higher priority over other IP data traffic.

This command only applies to voice-over-IP (VoIP) peers.

Examples

The following example sets the IP precedence at 5:

dial-peer voice 10 voip

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the music-threshold command to specify the decibel level of music played when calls are put on hold. This command tells the firmware to pass steady data above the specified level. It only affects the operation of voice activity detection (VAD) when receiving voice.

If the value for this command is set too high, VAD interprets music-on-hold as silence, and the remote end does not hear the music. If the value for this command is set too low, VAD compresses and passes silence when the background is noisy, creating unnecessary voice traffic.

Examples

The following example sets the dB threshold for the music played when calls are put on hold to -35:

voice-port 1/0
 music-threshold -35

Use the num-exp command to define how to expand a particular set of numbers (for example, an extension number) into a particular destination pattern. With this command, you can map specific extensions and expanded numbers together by explicitly defining each number, or you can define extensions and expanded numbers by using variables. You can also use this command to convert seven-digit numbers to numbers containing less than seven digits.

Use a period (.) as a variable or wild card representing a single number. Use a separate period for each number you want to represent with a wild card—if you want to replace four numbers in an extension with wild cards, enter four periods.

Examples

The following example expands the extension number 54001 to 14085554001:

Usage Guidelines

The operation command only affects voice traffic. Signaling is independent of two-wire versus four-wire settings. If the wrong cable scheme is specified, the user might get voice traffic in only one direction.

Configuring the operation command on a voice port changes the operation of both voice ports on a voice interface card (VIC). The voice port must be shut down and then opened again for the new value to take effect.

This command does not apply to foreign-exchange-station (FXS) or foreign-exchange-office (FXO) interfaces, because they are, by definition, two-wire interfaces.

Examples

The following example specifies that an E&M port uses a four-wire cabling scheme:

This default value for this command assumes that a standard transmission loss plan is in effect, meaning that normally there must be -6 dB attenuation between phones. Connections are implemented to provide -6 dB of attenuation when the input gain and output attenuation commands are configured with the default value of 0.

You cannot increase the gain of a signal going out into the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), but you can decrease it. Therefore, if the voice level is too high, you can decrease the volume by either decreasing the input gain value or by increasing the output attenuation.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ring number command to set the maximum number of rings to be detected before answering a call over an FXO voice port. Use the no form of this command to reset the default value, which is one ring.

Normally, this command should be set to the default so that incoming calls are answered quickly. If you have other equipment available on the line to answer incoming calls, you might want to set the value higher to give the equipment sufficient time to respond. In that case, the FXO interface would answer if the equipment on line did not answer the incoming call in the configured number of rings.

This command does not apply to foreign-exchange-station (FXS) or receive-and-transmit (E&M) interfaces because they do not receive ringing to receive a call.

Command Description

session target

Specifies a network-specific address for a specified dial peer.

session target

To specify a network-specific address for a specified dial peer, use the session target dial-peer configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable this feature.

session target {ipv4:destination-address | dns:[$s$. | $d$. | $e$. | $u$.] host-name | loopback:rtp | loopback:compressed | loopback:uncompressed}

no session target

Syntax Description

ipv4:destination-address

IP address of the dial peer.

dns:host-name

Domain name server will be used to resolve the name of the IP address. Valid entries for this parameter are characters representing the name of the host device.

(Optional) You can use one of the following three wild cards with this keyword when defining the session target for VoIP peers:

  • $s$.—Source destination pattern will be used as part of the domain name.

  • $d$.—Destination number will be used as part of the domain name.

  • $e$.—Digits in the called number will be reversed, periods will be added in-between each digit of the called number, and this string will be used as part of the domain name.

  • $u$.—Unmatched portion of the destination pattern (such as a defined extension number) will be used as part of the domain name.

loopback:rtp

All voice data will be looped back to the originating source. This only applies to VoIP peers.

loopback:compressed

All voice data will be looped back in compressed mode to the originating source. This only applies to basic telephone service, or plain old telephone service (POTS) peers.

loopback:uncompressed

All voice data will be looped-back in uncompressed mode to the originating source. This only applies to POTS peers.

Defaults

Enabled with no IP address or domain name defined.

Command Modes

Dial-peer configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the session target command to specify a network-specific address or domain name for a dial peer. Whether you select a network-specific address or a domain name depends on the session protocol you select.

The session target loopback command is used for testing the voice transmission path of a call. The loopback point will depend on the call origination and the loopback type selected.

The session target dns command can be used with or without the specified wild cards. Using the optional wild cards can reduce the number of voice-over-IP (VoIP) dial peer session targets that you need to configure if you have groups of numbers associated with a particular router.

Examples

The following example configures a session target using dns for a host, voice_router, in the domain cisco.com:

dial-peer voice 10 voip
 session target dns:voice_router.cisco.com
 

The following example configures a session target using dns with the optional $u$. wild card. In this example, the destination pattern has been configured to allow for any 4-digit extension, beginning with the numbers 1310222. The optional wildcard $u$. means that the router will use the unmatched portion of the dialed number—in this case, the 4-digit extension—to identify the dial peer. As in the previous example, the domain is cisco.com.

dial-peer voice 10 voip
 destination-pattern 1310222....
 session target dns:$u$.cisco.com
 

The following example configures a session target using dns with the optional $d$. wild card. In this example, the destination pattern has been configured for 13102221111. The optional wild card $d$. means that the router will use the destination pattern to identify the dial peer in the cisco.com domain.

dial-peer voice 10 voip
 destination-pattern 13102221111
 session target dns:$d$.cisco.com

Related Commands
Command Description

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.

session protocol

Establishes a session protocol for calls between the local and remote routers through the packet network in Voice over IP.

show call active voice

To show the active call table, use the show call active voice privileged EXEC command.

show call active voice

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the show call active voice command to display the contents of the active call table, which shows all of the calls currently connected through the router.

For each call, there are two call legs, usually a basic telephone service, or plain old telephone service (POTS) call leg and a voice-over-IP (VoIP) call leg. A call leg is a discrete segment of a call connection that lies between two points in the connection. Each dial peer creates a call leg, as shown in Figure 3-1.


Figure 3-1: Call Legs Example


These two call legs are associated by the connection ID. The connection ID is global across the voice network, so you can associate two call legs on one router with two call legs on another router, thereby providing an end-to-end view of a call.

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

When a dial peer is shut down, you cannot initiate calls to that peer. This command applies to both voice-over-IP (VoIP) and basic telephone service, or plain old telephone service (POTS) peers.

Examples

The following example changes the administrative state of voice telephony dial peer 10 to down:

configure terminal
 dial-peer voice 10 pots
 shutdown

shutdown (voice-port configuration)

To take the voice ports for a specific voice interface card offline, use the shutdown voice-port configuration command. Use the no form of this command to put the ports back in service.

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

When you enter the shutdown command, all ports on the voice interface card are disabled. When you enter the no shutdown command, all ports on the voice interface card are enabled. A telephone connected to an interface is silent when a port is shut down.

Examples

The following example takes voice port 1/0 offline:

configure terminal 
 voice-port 1/0
 shutdown

Note   The preceding configuration example shuts down both voice ports 1/0 and 1/1.

signal

To specify the type of signaling for a voice port, use the signal voice-port configuration command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default value for this command. This command applies to analog voice ports only.

For FXO and FXS:

signal {loop-start | ground-start}

no signal

For E&M and T1:

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

no signal

Syntax Description

loop-start

Loop start signaling. Used for foreign-exchange-office (FXO) and foreign-exchange-station (FXS) interfaces. With loop start signaling only one side of a connection can hang up. This is the default setting for FXO and FXS voice ports.

ground-start

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

wink-start

Calling side seizes the line by going off-hook on its E lead, and then waits for a short off-hook wink indication on its M lead from the called side before sending address information as dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) digits. Used for receive-and-transmit (E&M) tie trunk interfaces. This is the default setting for E&M voice ports.

immediate

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

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

Configuring the signal command for an FXS or FXO voice port changes the signal value for both voice ports on a voice interface card (VIC).


Note   If you change the signal type for an FXO voice port, you need to move the appropriate jumper in the VIC.

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 private branch exchanges (PBXs) will miss initial digits if the E&M voice port is configured for Immediate signaling. If this occurs, use Delay-Dial signaling 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 signaling, which means that both sides of a connection can place a call and hang up, as the signaling type for a voice port:

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

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command only applies to VoIP peers.

Use the snmp enable peer-trap poor qov command to generate poor quality of voice notifications for applicable calls associated with this dial peer. If you have a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) manager that will use SNMP messages when voice quality drops, you might want to enable this command. Otherwise, you should disable this command to reduce unnecessary network traffic.

Examples

The following example enables poor quality of voice notifications for calls associated with VoIP dial peer 10:

dial-peer voice 10 voip
 snmp enable peer-trap poor-qov

Related Commands
Command Description

snmp-server enable traps

Enables a router to send SNMP traps and informs.

snmp trap link-status

Enables SNMP trap messages to be generated when a specific port is brought up or down.

snmp-server enable traps

To enable the router to send SNMP traps, use the snmp-server enable traps global configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable SNMP traps.

snmp-server enable traps [trap-type] [trap-option]

no snmp-server enable traps [trap-type] [trap-option]

Syntax Description

trap-type

(Optional) Type of trap to enable. If no type is specified, all traps are sent (including the envmon and repeater traps). The trap type can be one of the following keywords:

trap-option

(Optional) When the envmon keyword is used, you can enable a specific environmental trap type or accept all trap types from the environmental monitor system. If no option is specified, all environmental types are enabled. The option can be one or more of the following keywords: voltage, shutdown, supply, fan, and temperature.

When the isdn keyword is used, you can specify the call-information keyword to enable an SNMP ISDN call information trap for the ISDN MIB subsystem, or you can specify the isdnu-interface keyword to enable an SNMP ISDN U interface trap for the ISDN U interface MIB subsystem.

When the repeater keyword is used, you can specify the repeater option. If no option is specified, all repeater types are enabled. The option can be one or both of the following keywords:

When the snmp keyword is used, you can specify the authentication option to enable SNMP Authentication Failure traps. (The snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication command replaces the snmp-server trap-authentication command.) If no option is specified, all SNMP traps are enabled.

When the voice keyword is used, you can enable SNMP poor-quality-of-voice traps by using the qov option.

Defaults

No traps are enabled.

Some trap types cannot be controlled with this command. These traps are either always enabled or enabled by some other means. For example, the linkUpDown messages are disabled by the no snmp trap link-status command.

If you enter this command with no keywords, the default is to enable all trap types.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command is useful for disabling traps that are generating a large amount of uninteresting or useless noise.

If you do not enter an snmp-server enable traps command, no traps controlled by this command are sent. To configure the router to send these SNMP traps, you must enter at least one snmp-server enable traps command. If you enter the command with no keywords, all trap types are enabled. If you enter the command with a keyword, only the trap type related to that keyword is enabled. To enable multiple types of traps, you must issue a separate snmp-server enable traps command for each trap type and option.

The snmp-server enable traps command is used with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP traps. To send traps, you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

For a host to receive a trap controlled by this command, both the snmp-server enable traps command and the snmp-server host command for that host must be enabled. If the trap type is not controlled by this command, just the appropriate snmp-server host command must be enabled.

All trap types used in this command have an associated MIB object that allows them to be globally enabled or disabled. Not all of the trap types available in the snmp-server host command have notificationEnable MIB objects, so some of these cannot be controlled by using the snmp-server enable traps command.

Examples

The following example enables the router to send SNMP poor-quality-of-voice traps:

configure terminal 
 snmp-server enable trap voice poor-qov

The following example enables the router to send all traps to the host myhost.cisco.com using the community string public:

snmp-server enable traps
snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com public
 

The following example enables the router to send Frame Relay and environmental monitor traps to the host myhost.cisco.com using the community string public:

snmp-server enable traps frame-relay
snmp-server enable traps envmon temperature
snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com public
 

The following example does not send traps to any host. The BGP traps are enabled for all hosts, but the only traps enabled to be sent to a host are ISDN traps.

snmp-server enable traps bgp
snmp-server host bob public isdn

Related Commands
Command Description

snmp enable peer-trap peer-qov

Generates poor-quality-of-voice notification for applicable calls associated with VoIP dial peers.

snmp trap link-status

Enables SNMP trap messages to be generated when a specific port is brought up or down.

snmp trap link-status

To enable SNMP trap messages to be generated when this voice port is brought up or down, use the snmp trap link-status voice-port configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable this feature.

snmp trap link-status

no snmp trap link-status

Syntax Description

This command contains no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

Usage Guidelines

Use the snmp trap link-status command to enable SNMP trap messages (linkup and linkdown) to be generated whenever this voice port is brought online or offline.

If you are managing the equipment with an SNMP manager (such as Maestro), enable this command. Enabling link-status messages allows the SNMP manager to learn of a status change without polling the equipment. If you are not using an SNMP manager, disable this command to avoid unnecessary network traffic.

Examples

The following example enables SNMP trap messages for voice port 1/0:

voice port 1/0
 snmp trap link-status

internal

Onboard clock provides the clock.

Defaults

Depends on the voice interface card (VIC) inserted.

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Usage Guidelines

Digital T1 ports require not only that you set timing, but that you consider the source of the timers. You must configure the time division multiplexing (TDM) clock to specify the clock source. You can specify up to two external clock sources for each MRP, which means that only two of the T1 ports can use line as the clock source.

Examples

The following example specifies the clock source on slot 0, port 0 of the T1 interface:

configure terminal
tdm clock t1 0/0

Related Commands
Command Description

Command History
Release Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the timeouts interdigit command to specify the number of seconds the system waits (after the caller has enter the initial digit) for the caller to dial a subsequent digit. The timeouts interdigit timer is activated when the caller enters a digit and restarted each time the caller enters another digit until the destination address is identified. If the configured timeout value is exceeded before the destination address is identified, the caller is notified through the appropriate tone, and the call is terminated.

To disable the timeouts interdigit timer, set the seconds value to 0.

Examples

The following example sets the interdigit timeout value for 10 seconds:

voice-port 1/0/0
 timeouts interdigit 10

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

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 by 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 private branch exchange (PBX).

With 2, the interface requires no common ground between the equipment, thereby avoiding ground loop noise problems. The tie-line equipment generates the E-signal to the PBX by connecting it to SG. The M-signal is detected by the PBX connecting it to SB. Although 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.

With 3, the interface operates the same as type 1 interfaces with respect to the E signal. However, the M-signal is detected 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 generates the E signal to the PBX by grounding the E lead. The PBX detects 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 the voice port:

voice port 0/0
