Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Proper Way to Build Your Dial Plan
David, Thanks for bringing up this topic, as I have been struggling with the same question while working through Vol1 Lab5. I have seen different posts or videos about using one route pattern which points to the Standard Local Route Group, and then using various translation patterns. Should the single E164 route pattern be \+.! and we strip the "+" and route only digits, or should we set the route pattern to be \+! and route the number with the prefixed "+"? Or does it really matter which way we do it? I went through the routing lab fairly well, and got most of the results even though I did things quite differently than in the Proctor Guide. I set up the single route group and did most of my manipulations using a combination of translation patterns, transformation patterns, or route lists. I'm just not sure that I'm setting things up in a way that is non-scalable in real-life networks or in way that is hazardous to passing the exam :) Maybe Vik or Otto can give us some guidance on what is the "best" way to organize the dialplan? ___ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com
[OSL | CCIE_Voice] Proper Way to Build Your Dial Plan
Hello List, What is the proper way to build a call route in cucm 7. As you all know there is many ways to accomplish this task. I fully understand SLRGs and they work great for basic calling but once you throw some redundancy and TEHO into the mix things get funky really quick. I think I have found the best way to use them is with a translation pattern to match the pattern and set the external phone number mask if needed along with plan and type. then prefix a + and send it along to a route pattern of \+.! which will route it out the SLRG, And this works. OK now for TEHO say you have a need to route All 212 calls from a Chicago Phone out the NY gate way. Translation + Route Pattern to get the number to a new Route list with 2 route groups 1st CHI-RG 2nd NY-RG. Is this ok or would you want to use 1sr NY 2nd SLRG. Both will work but with the slrg you will need to use CALLING / Called Transformations to get the numbering right.
