Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs
The Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs on Each Leg of a SIP-to-SIP Call on the Cisco Unified Border Element feature supports negotiation of an audio codec using the Voice Class Codec and Codec Transparent infrastructure on the Cisco Unified Border Element (Cisco UBE).

Benefits
Following are the benefits of the Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs on Each Leg of a SIP-to-SIP Call on the Cisco Unified Border Element feature:
- You can configure dissimilar Voice Class Codec configurations on the incoming and outgoing dial peers.
- Both normal transcoding and high-density transcoding are supported with the Voice Class Codec configuration.
- Mid-call codec changes for supplementary services are supported with the Voice Class Codec configuration. Transcoder resources are dynamically inserted or deleted when required.
- Reinvite-based supplementary services invoked from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), like call hold, call resume, music on hold (MOH), call transfer, and call forward are supported with the Voice Class Codec configuration.
- T.38 fax and fax passthrough switchover with Voice Class Codec configuration are supported.
- Reinvite-based call hold and call resume for Secure Real-Time Transfer protocol (SRTP) and Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) interworking on Cisco UBE are supported with the Voice Class Codec configuration.
- High availability support for calls that use Voice Class Codec, but calls that require transcoder to be invoked are not checkpointed. During mid-call renegotiation, if the call releases the transcoder, then the call is checkpointed.
Prerequisites for Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs
To the configure Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs on Each Leg of a SIP-to-SIP Call on the Cisco Unified Border Element feature you must know the following:
- Transcoding configuration on the Cisco UBE.
- The digital signal processor (DSP) requirements to support the transcoding feature on the Cisco UBE.
- The existing Voice Class Codec configuration on the dial peers.

Cisco Unified Border Element (Enterprise)
Restrictions for Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs
The Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs on Each Leg of a SIP-to-SIP Call on the Cisco Unified Border Element feature has the following limitations:
Disabling Codec Filtering
Cisco UBE is configured to filter common codecs for the subsets, by default. The filtered codecs are sent in the outgoing offer. You can configure the Cisco UBE to offer all the codecs configured on an outbound leg instead of offering only the filtered codecs.
Note |
This configuration is applicable only for early offer calls from the Cisco UBE. For delayed offer calls, by default all codecs are offered irrespective of this configuration. |
Perform this task to disable codec filtering and allow all the codecs configured on an outbound leg.
1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. dial-peer voice tag voip
4. voice-class codec tag [offer-all]
5. end
DETAILED STEPS
Troubleshooting Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs
Use the following commands to debug any errors that you may encounter when you configure the Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs on Each Leg of a SIP-to-SIP Call on the Cisco Unified Border Element feature:
For DSP-related debugs, use the following commands:
Verifying Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs
Perform this task to display information to verify Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs on Each Leg of a SIP-to-SIP Call on the Cisco Unified Border Element configuration. These show commands need not be entered in any specific order.
1. enable
2. show call active voice brief
3. show voip rtp connections
4. show sccp connections
5. show dspfarm dsp active
