I documented my strategy in my blog if interested. Part 2 in the series focuses on building various tables and the read-through portion of the exam:
http://ucguerrilla.com/2013/04/ccie-voice-lab-strategy-part-2-read.html Looking back at my notes, I have the following Ent / Service params that I updated by default: Enterprise Parameters: Auto Registration Protocol: SCCP BLF for Call Lists: Enabled Advertise G722 Codec: Disabled URL Authentication: set IP instead of name URL Directories: set IP instead of name URL information: set IP instead of name URL Services: set IP instead of name Connection Monitor Duration: 60 (or do this at a device pool level) Service Parameters BRQ Enabled: True T302 timer: 5000 H225 T302 timer: 5000 G722 codec enabled: Disabled iLBC codec enabled: Disabled Intraregion Audio codec default: G729 Inter-region Audio codec default: G729 Automated Alternate Routing: True Enable Mobile Voice Access: True Inbound Calling Search Space for Remote Destination: Remote Destination Profile + Line Calling Search Space System Remote Access Block Numbers: <update as needed> Transfer on-hook enabled: True Display Original Calling Number on Transfer from Unity: True Max Forward unregistered hops to DN: 1 Allow peer to preserve h323 calls: True /*need to add appropriate configuration on h323*/ Another service parameter I have seen people modify is the "stop routing on unallocated number" parameter. People mod this to allow calls to hunt around a H323 gateway that has a PRI which is down. I didn't use this method because I think it is the wrong approach to fixing that problem. I leveraged the IOS config command: "no dial-peer out status pots" HTH. -Bill -- William Bell, CCIE #38914 blog: http://ucguerrilla.com twitter: @ucguerrilla On Oct 17, 2013, at 1:39 PM, Bill Hatcher wrote: > My test is just a couple of weeks away, and I've been reading different blogs > on how to maximize your time.
