Configuring SIP 181 Call is Being Forwarded Message

Last Updated: December 20, 2011

You can configure support for SIP 181 Call is Being Forwarded messages either globally or on a specific dial-peer. Use the block command in voice service SIP configuration mode to globally configure Cisco IOS voice gateways and Cisco UBEs to drop specified SIP provisional response messages. To configure settings for an individual dial peer, use the voice-class sip block command in dial peer voice configuration mode. Both globally and at the dial peer level, you can also use the sdp keyword to further control when the specified SIP message is dropped based on either the absence or presence of SDP information.

Additionally, you can use commands introduced for this feature to configure a Cisco UBE, either globally or at the dial peer level, to map specific received SIP provisional response messages to a different SIP provisional response message on the outgoing SIP dial peer. To do so, use the map resp-code command in voice service SIP configuration mode for global configuration or, to configure a specific dial peer, use the voice-class sip map resp-code in dial peer voice configuration mode.
