This chapter contains commands to configure and maintain Cisco IOS voice applications. The commands are presented in alphabetical order. Some commands required for configuring voice may be found in other Cisco IOS command references. Use the command reference master index or search online to find these commands.

For detailed information on how to configure these applications and features, refer to the Cisco IOS Voice Configuration Guide.

vad (dial peer)

To enable voice activity detection (VAD) for the calls using a particular dial peer, use the vad command in dial peer configuration mode. To disable VAD, use the no form of this command.

vad [aggressive]

no vad [aggressive]

Syntax Description

aggressive

Reduces noise threshold from -78 to -62 dBm. Available only when session protocol multicast is configured.


Command Default

VAD is enabled

Aggressive VAD is enabled in multicast dial peers

Command Modes

Dial peer configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced on Cisco 3600 series.

12.0(4)T

This command was implemented as a dial-peer command on Cisco MC3810 (in prior releases, the vad command was available only as a voice-port command).

12.2(11)T

The aggressive keyword was added.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command to enable voice activity detection. With VAD, voice data packets fall into three categories: speech, silence, and unknown. Speech and unknown packets are sent over the network; silence packets are discarded. The sound quality is slightly degraded with VAD, but the connection monopolizes much less bandwidth. If you use the no form of this command, VAD is disabled and voice data is continuously sent to the IP backbone. When configuring voice gateways to handle fax calls, VAD should be disabled at both ends of the IP network because it can interfere with the successful reception of fax traffic.

When the aggressive keyword is used, the VAD noise threshold is reduced from -78 to -62 dBm. Noise that falls below the -62 dBm threshold is considered to be silence and is not sent over the network. Additionally, unknown packets are considered to be silence and are discarded.

Examples

The following example enables VAD for a Voice over IP (VoIP) dial peer, starting from global configuration mode:

dial-peer voice 200 voip
 vad

Related Commands

Command
Description

comfort-noise

dial-peer voice

Enters dial peer configuration mode, defines the type of dial peer, and defines the tag number associated with a dial peer.

vad (voice-port)

Enables VAD for the calls using a particular voice port.


vad (SPA-DSP)

To enable or disable voice activity detection (vad) settings configured locally irrespective of the external vad settings, use the vad command in config dspfarm profile mode.

vad {on | off} override

Syntax Description

on

Enables the local vad settings irrespective of the external vad settings.

off

Disables the local vad settins irrespective of the external vad settings.

override

Overrides the external vad settings with local vad configuration details.


Command Default

By default, VAD is enabled.

Command Modes

DSP Farm Profile Configuration Mode (config-dspfarm-profile)

Command History

Release
Modification

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command to enable voice activity detection locally irrespective of external VAD settings. With VAD, voice data packets fall into three categories: speech, silence, and unknown. Speech and unknown packets are sent over the network; silence packets are discarded. The sound quality is slightly degraded with VAD, but the connection monopolizes much less bandwidth. If you disable VAD, voice data is continuously sent to the IP backbone.

Examples

The following example enables VAD and overrides external vad settings with local vad settings:

Router(config)# dspfarm profile 1
Router(config-dspfarm-profile)# vad on override
Router(config-dspfarm-profile)# do show running-config
!!!
dspfarm profile 1 transcode

vbd-playout-delay

To configure the voice-band-detection playout-delay buffer on a Cisco router, use the vbd-playout-delay command in voice service session configuration mode. To disable the buffer, use the no form of this command.

vbd-playout-delay {maximum milliseconds | minimum milliseconds | mode {fixed [no-timestamps] | passthrough}| nominal milliseconds}

no vbd-playout-delay

Syntax Description

maximum

Sets the maximum playout buffer delay, in milliseconds (ms). Range: 40 to 1000. Default: 1000.

milliseconds

Delay time, in milliseconds (ms).

minimum

Sets the minimum playout buffer delay, in ms. Range: 10 to 40. Default: 40.

mode

Configures voice-band-detection playout buffer adaptation mode.

fixed

Sets the jitter buffer to a constant delay.

no-timestamps

(Optional) Fixes the jitter buffer at a constant delay without time stamps.

passthrough

Sets the jitter buffer passthrough mode for clock compensation.

nominal

Sets the nominal playout buffer delay, in ms. Range: 10 to 1000. Default: 60.


Defaults

The voice-band-detection playout-delay buffer is disabled.

Command Modes

Voice service session configuration (conf-voi-serv-sess)

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(8)T

This command was introduced.

12.4(24)T

This command was modified.

The minimum time range value was changed from 4 to 1700 ms to a range of 10  to 40 ms. The default value 4 was increased to 40 ms.

The maximum time value was decreased from 1700 to 1000 ms and the default of 200 was increased to 1000 ms.

The nominal time range value was changed from 0 to 1500 ms to a range of 10 to 1000 ms. The default value of 100 was decreased to 60 ms.

12.4(24)T6

This command was modified. The no-timestamps keyword was added and passthrough keyword usage guidelines were clarified.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command to set the playout jitter buffer. When a voice band is detected, the call uses the G.711 codec, and the playout delay values that you set are picked up. The original voice-call parameters are restored after the fax or modem call is completed. The no-timestamps keyword sets the jitter buffer at a constant delay without reading time stamps.


Note The passthough keyword is a special mode used to handle clock drifting properly. We recommend this keyword only when instructed by your Cisco representative.


Examples

The following example configures ATM adaptation layer 2 (AAL2) voice-band-detection playout-delay adaptation mode and sets the mode to fixed:

 voice service voatm
 session protocol aal2
  vbd-playout-delay mode fixed

The following example configures AAL2 voice-band-detection playout-delay adaptation mode and sets the mode at a constant delay without timestamps:

voice service voatm
 session protocol aal2
  vbd-playout-delay mode fixed no-timestamps

The following example sets the nominal AAL2 voice-band-detection playout-delay buffer to 12 ms:

voice service voatm 
 session protocol aal2
  vbd-playout-delay nominal 12

The following example sets the AAL2 voice-band-detection playout-buffer delay to a maximum of 55 ms:

voice service voatm 
 session protocol aal2
  vbd-playout-delay maximum 55

The following example sets the AAL2 voice-band-detection playout-buffer delay to a minimum of 22 ms:

voice service voatm 
 session protocol aal2
  vbd-playout-delay minimum 22

Modification

12.0

This command was introduced on Cisco MC3810.

12.1(5)XM

This command was implemented on Cisco 3600 series routers and modified to support Simple Gateway Control Protocol (SGCP) and Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP).

12.2(2)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)T.

12.2(11)T

This command was implemented on the Cisco AS5300 and Cisco AS5850.


Usage Guidelines

This command configures traffic shaping between voice and data PVCs. Traffic shaping is required so that the carrier does not discard calls. To configure voice and data traffic shaping, you must configure the peak, average, and burst options for voice traffic. Configure the burst value if the PVC will carry bursty traffic. Peak, average, and burst values are needed so that the PVC can effectively handle the bandwidth for the number of voice calls.

Calculate the minimum peak, average, and burst values for the number of voice calls as follows:

Peak Value

Peak value = (2 x the maximum number of calls) x 16K = _______________

Average Value

Calculate according to the maximum number of calls that the PVC will carry times the bandwidth per call. The following formulas give you the average rate in kbps:

For VoIP:

G.711 with 40- or 80-byte sample size:

Average value = max calls x 128K = _______________

G.726 with 40-byte sample size:

Average value = max calls x 85K = _______________

G.729a with 10-byte sample size:

Average value = max calls x 85K = _______________

For VoATM adaptation layer 2 (VoAAL2):

G.711 with 40-byte sample size:

Average value = max calls x 85K = _______________

G.726 with 40-byte sample size:

Average value = max calls x 43K = _______________

G.729a with 10-byte sample size:

Average value = max calls x 43K = _______________

If voice activity detection (VAD) is enabled, bandwidth usage is reduced by as much as 12 percent with the maximum number of calls in progress. With fewer calls in progress, bandwidth savings are less.

Burst Value

Set the burst size as large as possible, and never less than the minimum burst size. Guidelines are as follows:

Minimum burst size = 4 x number of voice calls = _______________

Maximum burst size = maximum allowed by the carrier = _______________

When you configure data PVCs that will be traffic shaped with voice PVCs, use aal5snap encapsulation and calculate the overhead as 1.13 times the voice rate.

Examples

The following example configures the traffic-shaping rate for ATM PVC 20. Peak, average, and burst rates are calculated based on a maximum of 20 calls on the PVC.

pvc 20
 encapsulation aal5mux voice
 vbr-rt 640 320 80

Command Default

10 seconds.

Command Modes

Global configuration.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.3(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Because the available circuit (AC) attribute of a destination is very dynamic, reporting of this attribute should be handled carefully. AC should be reported as frequently as possible so that the location server has better information about the resources. However, the location server should not be overwhelmed with too many updates.

All of the AC reporting, called the interesting point of AC, is performed when the specified event happens within the minimum interval between reporting (MIR) time since last reporting. This command sets the amount of time used for the interval to control the number of interesting points that are reported so not to overwhelm the location server with too many AC updates.

The seconds argument cannot be set higher than the time configured for the capacity update interval.

Examples

The following example shows the minimum interval between reporting for the carrier address family set to 25 seconds:

Router(config)# voice call carrier capacity mir 25

Related Commands

Command
Description

capacity update interval (dial peer)

Changes the capacity update for prefixes associated with a dial peer.

Usage Guidelines

Because the available circuit (AC) attribute of a destination is very dynamic, reporting of this attribute should be handled carefully. AC should be reported as frequently as possible so that the location server has better information about the resources. However, the location server should not be overwhelmed with too many updates.

A smoothing algorithm is applied to the quantity of AC being reported. This algorithm eliminates reporting of noise. The degree of smoothing can be configured with the voice call capacity stw command. This command sets the smoothing transition time for weight, which is the time it takes for current smoothed value of AC to come half way between the current smoothed value and the current instantaneous value of AC. Lower stw values speed the smoothed value of AC as it approaches the instantaneous value of AC. When stw is set to 0, the smoothed value is always equal to the instantaneous value of AC.

Examples

The following example shows the smoothing time for weight for the carrier address family set to 25 seconds:

Router(config)# voice call carrier capacity stw 25

12.2(15)T

The header-only argument was removed and the short-header argument was added.


Usage Guidelines

Despite its nontraditional syntax (trailing rather than preceding "debug"), this is a normal debug command.

You can control the contents of the standardized header. Display options for the header are as follows:

Short 6-byte GUID

Full 16-byte GUID

Short header which contains only the CallEntry ID

The format of the GUID headers is as follows:
//CallEntryID/GUID/Module-Dependent-List/Function-name:.

The format of the short header is as follows:
//CallEntryID/Function-name:.

When the voice call debug short-header command is entered, the header displays with no GUID or module-specific parameters. When the no voice call debug short-header command is entered, the header, the 6-byte GUID, and module-dependent parameter output displays. The default option is displaying the 6-byte GUID trace.


Note Using the no form of this command does not turn off debugging.

Modification

12.3(5)

This command was introduced.

12.3(7)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)T.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command if the gateway is connected to a switch that sends a release immediately after it receives a Disconnect with PI. To properly handle the call, the switch should open a backward voice path and keep the call active. Otherwise the rotary dial peer feature does not work because the incoming call leg is disconnected. Using this command enables the gateway to handle a disconnect with PI like a regular disconnect message so that you can use the rotary dial peer feature.

Examples

The following example enables the gateway to properly handle a disconnect with PI:

12.2(1)

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2.


Usage Guidelines

In Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3)XI and later, the terminating gateway sends a Progress message with a progress indicator (PI) after it receives a Setup message. Previously, the gateway responded with an Alert message after receiving a call. In some cases, if the terminating switch does not forward the progress message to the originating gateway, the originating gateway does not cut-through the voice path until a Connect is received and the caller does not hear a ringback tone. In these cases, you can use the voice call send-alert command to make the gateway backward compatible with releases earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3)XI. If you configure the voice call send-alert command, the terminating gateway sends an Alert message after it receives a Setup message from the originating gateway.

To complete calls from a PRI to an FXS interface, configure the voice call send-alert command on the FXS device.

Examples

The following example configures the gateway to send an Alert message:

The no form of this command was modified.


Usage Guidelines

Prior to Release 15.0(1)M, if a non-default percent value was configured, it could be disabled by entering the no voice call trap deviation percent command, even if the percent value was not the configured value. For example, if the voice call trap deviation 30 command was configured, the no voice call trap deviation 40 command disabled the initial command.

Beginning in Release 15.0(1)M, the percent value in the no form of the command must match the configured non-default value. For example, if the voice call trap deviation 30 command is configured, the only way to disable it is to enter the no voice call trap deviation 30 command. If the no voice call trap deviation 40 command is entered, the command-line interface displays this message: "Please enter correct deviation."

Usage Guidelines

Voice-card configuration mode is used for commands that configure the use of digital signal processing (DSP) resources, such as codec complexity and DSPs. DSP resources can be found in digital T1/E1 packet voice trunk network modules on Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 3600 series, and Cisco 3700 series.

Codec complexity is configured in voice-card configuration mode and has the following platform-specific usage guidelines:

On Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745, the slot argument corresponds to the physical chassis slot of the network module that has DSP resources to be configured.

DSP resource sharing is also configured in voice-card configuration mode. On the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745 under specific circumstances, configuration of the dspfarm command enters DSP resources on a network module or AIM into a DSP resource pool. Those DSP resources are then available to process voice traffic on a different network module or voice/WAN interface card (VWIC). See the dspfarm (voice-card) command reference for more information about DSP resource sharing.


Note When running high-complexity images, the system can only process up to 16 voice channels. Those 16 time slots need to be within a contiguous range (timeslot maximum (TSmax) minus timeslot minimum (TSmin) is less than or equal to 16, where TSmax and TSmin are the maximum DS0 and minimum DS0 configured for voice).


This command does not have a no form.

Modification

12.3(4)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command takes you to voice URI class configuration mode, where you configure the match characteristics for a URI. The commands that you enter in this mode define the set of rules by which the URI in a call is matched to a dial peer.

To reference this voice class for incoming calls, use the incoming uri command in the inbound dial peer. To reference this voice class for outgoing calls, use the destination uri command in the outbound dial peer.

Using the no voice class uri command removes the voice class from any dial peer where it is configured with the destination uri or incoming uri commands.

Examples

The following example defines a voice class for SIP URIs:

voice class uri r100 sip
 user-id abc123
 host server1
 phone context 408

The following example defines a voice class for TEL URIs:

voice class uri r101 tel
 phone number ^408
 phone context 408

voice-class sip anat

To enable Alternative Network Address Types (ANAT) on a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunk, use the voice-class sip anat command in SIP configuration or dial peer configuration mode. To disable ANAT on SIP trunks, use the no form of this command.

voice-class sip anat [system]

no voice-class sip anat [system]

Syntax Description

system

(Optional) Configures ANAT globally.


Command Default

ANAT is enabled on SIP trunks.

Command Modes

SIP configuration (conf-serv-sip)
Dial peer configuration (config-dial-peer)

Command History

Release
Modification

12.4(22)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Both the Cisco IOS SIP gateway and Cisco Unified Border Element are required to support the Session Description Protocol (SDP) ANAT semantics. The bind command allows the use of ANAT semantics in outbound SDP. SDP ANAT semantics are intended to address scenarios that involve different network address families (for example, different IPv4 versions). Media lines grouped using ANAT semantics provide alternative network addresses of different families for a single logical media stream. The entity creating a session description with an ANAT group must be ready to receive or send media over any of the grouped "m" lines.

By default, ANAT is enabled on SIP trunks. However, if the SIP gateway is configured in IPv4-only mode or IPv6-only mode, the gateway will not use ANAT semantics in its SDP offer.

The system keyword configures ANAT on all network dial peers, including the local dial peer. Using the voice-class sip anat command without the system keyword enables ANAT only for the local dial peer.

Examples

The following example globally enables ANAT on a SIP trunk:

Router(config-serv-sip)# voice-class sip anat system

The following example enables ANAT on a specified dial peer:

Router(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip anat

Usage Guidelines

The voice-class sip associate registered-number command takes precedence over the associate registered-number command in voice service VOIP SIP configuration mode. However, if the voice-class sip associate registered-number command is used with the system keyword, the gateway uses the settings configured globally by the associate registered-number command.

Examples

The following example shows how to associate a registered number on dial peer.

Router> enable 
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# dial-peer voice 2611 voip
Router(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip associate registered-number 20

Cisco IOS XE
Release 3.1S

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release IOS XE 3.1S


Usage Guidelines

For the Cisco UBE the SIP asymmetric payload-type is supported for audio/video codecs, DTMF, and NSE. Hence, dtmf and dynamic-codecs keywords are internally mapped to the full keyword to provide asymmetric payload-type support for audio/video codecs , DTMF, and NSE.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure dynamic SIP asymmetric payload support:

Router# configure terminal 
Router(config)# dial-peer voice 77 voip 
Router(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip asymmetric payload full

voice-class sip authenticate redirecting-number

To supersede global settings and enable a dial peer on a Cisco IOS voice gateway to authenticate and pass Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) credentials based on the redirecting number of forwarded calls, use the voice-class sip authenticate redirecting-number command in dial peer voice configuration mode. To supersede global settings and specify that a dial peer uses only the calling number of forwarded calls, use the no form of this command. To return a dial peer to the default setting so that the dial peer uses the global setting, use the default form of this command.

voice-class sip authenticate redirecting-number [system]

no voice-class sip authenticate redirecting-number

default voice-class sip authenticate redirecting-number

Syntax Description

system

(Optional) Specifies that the dial peer use whatever setting is configured at the global (voice service SIP) command level (default).


Command Default

The dial peer uses the global setting. If the global setting is not specifically configured, the dial peer uses only the calling number of a forwarded call for SIP credentials even when the redirecting number is available for that call.

Command Modes

Dial peer voice configuration (config-dial-peer)

Command History

Release
Modification

12.4(24)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When an INVITE message sent out by the gateway is challenged, it must respond with the appropriate SIP credentials before the call is established. The default global behavior for the gateway is to authenticate and pass SIP credentials based on the calling number and all dial peers on a gateway default to the global setting. However, for forwarded calls, it is sometimes more appropriate to use the redirecting number and this can be specified at either the global or dial peer level (configuring behavior for a specific dial peer supersedes the global setting).

Use the voice-class sip authenticate redirecting-number command in dial peer voice configuration mode to supersede global settings and enable a dial peer to authenticate and pass SIP credentials based on the redirecting number when available. Use the no form of this command to supersede global settings and force a dial peer to authenticate and pass SIP credentials based only on the calling number of forwarded calls. Use the default form of this command to configure the dial peer to use the global setting.

The redirecting number is present only in the headers of forwarded calls. When the voice-class sip authenticate redirecting-number command is disabled or the redirecting number is not available, the dial peer passes SIP credentials that are based on the calling number of the forwarded call. This is also the behavior on dial peers that are configured to use the global setting and the global setting is disabled (default). To enable the global setting (which is used as the default setting for all dial peers on the gateway), use the authenticate redirecting-number command in voice service SIP configuration mode.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable dial peer 2 to authenticate and pass SIP credentials based on the redirecting number (if available) of a forwarded call when a SIP INVITE message is challenged:

Router> enable 
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# dial-peer voice 2 voip 
Router(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip authenticate redirecting-number

The following example shows how to force dial peer 2 to authenticate and pass only the calling number of a call even when the global setting is enabled and a redirecting number is available for a call:

Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# dial-peer voice 2 voip
Router(config-dial-peer)# no voice-class sip authenticate redirecting-number

The following two examples show different ways of setting dial peer 2 to the default setting so that it authenticates and passes either the redirecting or calling number of a call based on the global (system) setting for the gateway:

Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# dial-peer voice 2 voip
Router(config-dial-peer)# default voice-class sip authenticate redirecting-number
Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# dial-peer voice 2 voip
Router(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip authenticate redirecting-number system

Related Commands

Command
Description

authenticate redirecting-number

Usage Guidelines

Use the voice-class sip block command in dial peer voice configuration mode to configure a specific dial peer on a Cisco IOS voice gateway or Cisco UBE to override global settings and drop specified SIP provisional response messages. Additionally, you can use the sdp keyword to further control when the specified SIP message is dropped based on either the absence or presence of SDP information.

You can also use the system keyword to configure a specific dial peer to use global configuration settings for dropping incoming SIP provisional response messages. To configure global settings on a Cisco IOS voice gateway or Cisco UBE, use the block command in voice service SIP configuration mode. To disable configurations for dropping specified incoming SIP messages on an individual dial peer, use the no voice-class sip block command in dial peer voice configuration mode.


Note This command is supported only on outbound dial peers—it is nonoperational if configured on inbound dial peers. You should configure this command on the outbound SIP leg that sends out the initial INVITE message. Additionally, this feature applies only to SIP-to-SIP calls and will have no effect on H.323-to-SIP calls.

voice-class sip call-route

To enable call routing based on the p-called-party-id and history-info header values, at the dial-peer configuration level, use the voice-class sip call-route command in dial peer voice configuration mode. To disable header-based routing, use the no form of this command.

voice-class sip call-route {p-called-party-id | history-info} [system]

no voice-class sip call-route {p-called-party-id | history-info}

Syntax Description

p-called-party-id

Enables call routing based on the p-called-party-id header.

history-info

Enables call routing based on the history-info header.

system

(Optional) Uses the global configuration settings to enable call routing based on the header values on this dial peer.


Command Default

Support for call routing based on the p-called-party-id and history-info headers at the dial peer level is disabled.

Command Modes

Dial-peer voice configuration (config-dial-peer)

Command History

Release
Modification

12.4(22)YB

This command was introduced.

15.0(1)M

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M.

15.1(2)T

This command was modified. The history-info keyword was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use the voice-class sip call-route command on the inbound dial peer, to enable the gateway to route calls based on the received header in a received INVITE message.

The voice-class sip call-route command takes precedence over the call-route command in voice service VoIP SIP configuration mode. However, if the voice-class sip call-route command is used with the system keyword, the gateway uses the settings configured globally by the call-route command.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable call routing based on the p-called-party-id and history-info header values, at the dial-peer configuration level:

Router> enable 
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# dial-peer voice 2611 voip 
Router(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip call-route p-called-party-id
Router(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip call-route history-info

voice-class sip e911

To enable SIP E911 system services on a dial peer, use the voice-class sip e911 command in VoIP dialpeer configuration mode. To disable SIP E911 services, use the no form of this command.

voice-class sip e911

no voice-class sip e911

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

The dial peer uses the global setting.

Command Modes

VoIP dialpeer configuration mode.

Command History

Release

Modification

12.4(9)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The no form of this command sets the dial peer configuration to disable, which indicates that E911 will not be used for this peer. Because the no version of the command causes non default behavior, it can been seen in the show running-config output. See also the voice service voip sip e911 and debug csm neat commands.

Examples

The following examples enable and disable E911 services on a VoIP dial peer:

Router(config)# dial-peer voice 2
Router(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip e911

voice-class sip encap clear-channel

To enable RFC 4040-based clear-channel codec negotiation for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) calls on an individual dial peer, overriding the global setting on a Cisco IOS voice gateway or Cisco Unified Border Element (Cisco UBE), use the voice-class sip encap clear-channel command in dial peer voice configuration mode. To disable RFC 4040-based clear-channel codec negotiation on an individual dial peer for SIP calls on a Cisco IOS voice gateway or Cisco UBE, use the no form of this command.

voice-class sip encap clear-channel [standard | system]

no voice-class sip encap clear-channel standard

Syntax Description

standard

(Optional) Specifies standard RFC 4040 encapsulation.

system

(Optional) Configures the dial peer to use global configuration settings for clear-channel codec negotiation.


Command Default

The dial peer uses the system configuration. (If the global encap clear-channel standard command is not enabled, then legacy encapsulation [X-CCD/8000] is used for clear-channel codec negotiation.)

Command Modes

Dial peer voice configuration (config-dial-peer)

Command History

Release
Modification

15.0(1)XA

This command was introduced.

15.1(1)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)T.


Usage Guidelines

Use the voice-class sip encap clear-channel standard command in dial peer voice configuration mode to override global settings for clear-channel codec negotiation on a Cisco IOS voice gateway or Cisco UBE and enable RFC 4040-based clear-channel codec negotiation [CLEARMODE/8000] for SIP calls on a specific dial peer. RFC 4040-based clear-channel codec negotiation allows dial peers on Cisco IOS voice gateways and Cisco UBEs to successfully interoperate with third-party SIP gateways that do not support legacy Cisco IOS clear-channel codec encapsulation [X-CCD/8000].

When the voice-class sip encap clear-channel standard command is enabled on a specific dial peer on a Cisco IOS voice gateway or Cisco UBE, SIP calls on that dial peer that use the Cisco IOS clear channel codec are translated into calls that use [CLEARMODE/8000] regardless of the global configuration so that the calls do not get rejected when they reach third-party SIP gateways.

You can also use the voice-class sip encap clear-channel system command to configure a specific dial peer to use global configuration settings for clear-channel codec negotiation. To enable RFC 4040 clear-channel codec negotiation for SIP calls globally on a Cisco IOS voice gateway or Cisco UBE, use the encap clear-channel standard command in voice service SIP configuration mode. To override global settings and disable RFC 4040-based clear-channel codec negotiation on a specific dial peer, use the no voice-class sip encap clear-channel standard command in dial peer voice configuration mode.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure dial peer 1 to override any global configurations and enable RFC 4040-based clear-channel codec negotiation for SIP calls:

Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# dial-peer voice 1 voip
Router(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip encap clear-channel standard

The following example shows how to configure dial peer 1 to use the global configuration for clear-channel codec negotiation for SIP calls:

Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# dial-peer voice 1 voip
Router(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip encap clear-channel system
