Configuring VoIP Peers

VoIP peers enable outgoing calls to be made from a particular telephony device. To configure a VoIP peer, you need to uniquely identify the peer (by assigning it a unique tag number), define its destination telephone number and destination IP address. As with POTS peers, under most circumstances, the default values for the remaining dial peer configuration commands will be adequate to establish connections.

To configure a VoIP peer, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:

Purpose

1

Router(config)# dial-peer

voice number voip

Enters the dial peer configuration mode to configure a

 

 

 

VoIP peer. The number value of the dial-peer voice voip

 

 

 

command is a tag that uniquely identifies the dial peer.

 

 

 

 

2

Router(config-dial-peer)#

destination-pattern string

Defines the destination telephone number associated with

 

 

 

this VoIP dial peer.

 

 

 

 

3

Router(config-dial-peer)#

tech-prefix number

Specifies that a particular technology prefix be prepended

 

 

 

to the destination patter of this dial peer.

 

 

 

 

4

Router(config-dial-peer)#

session-target

Specifies a destination IP address for this dial peer.

For additional VoIP dial peer configuration options, refer to the “Voice-Related Commands” section of the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 Voice, Video, and Home Applications Command Reference, the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)T Voice over IP for the Cisco AS5300 feature module, and the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)T Service Provider Features for Voice over IP feature module.

Verifying Dial Peer Configuration

•If you have relatively few dial peers configured, you can use the show dial-peer voice command to verify that the data configured is correct. Use this command to display a specific dial peer or to display all configured dial peers.

•Use the show dialplan number command to show the dial peer to which a particular number (destination pattern) resolves.

Troubleshooting Tips

•Ping the associated IP address to confirm connectivity. If you cannot successfully ping your destination, refer to the chapter, “Configuring IP,” in the Cisco IOS 11.3 Network Protocols Configuration Guide, Part 1.

•Use the show dial-peer voice command to verify that the operational status of the dial peer is up.

AS5800 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in the networking and telecommunications field, and its AS5800 series of routers exemplify this tradition. The AS5800, along with the AS5850, AS5350, AS5400, and AS5300, provides robust solutions for service providers and enterprise-level networking applications. Each of these models has distinct features and characteristics that cater to the evolving demands of internet traffic and data processing.

The Cisco AS5800 is designed for high-capacity routing and optimized for broadband services. It supports a wide range of services, including voice, data, and video applications, making it a versatile option for service providers looking to deliver integrated solutions. It is equipped with advanced quality of service (QoS) features that ensure bandwidth is allocated effectively, holding strong even under heavy traffic conditions.

In comparison, the AS5850 offers superior processing capabilities and is typically utilized in larger-scale implementations. This model supports high-density interfaces, allowing numerous connections without compromising performance. Its architecture includes enhanced MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support, enabling more efficient traffic management and better utilization of network resources.

The AS5350 is known for its scalability and energy efficiency, ideal for voice-over-IP (VoIP) and media gateway applications. It supports various telephony features, such as protocol interworking and transcoding, making it a preferred choice for organizations focusing on digital voice technologies. The AS5300, while slightly older, continues to be a valuable asset for less demanding networks, offering reliable performance with VoIP capabilities and basic data applications.

The AS5400 bridges the gap between high-performance routing and operational efficiency. It incorporates Cisco's proprietary technologies to ensure seamless connectivity and robust failover systems. This model is highly regarded for its security features, protecting network integrity and providing peace of mind for businesses relying on sensitive data transfer.

Overall, Cisco’s AS5800 series showcases a progressive evolution of routing capabilities with enhanced features tailored for resilience, scalability, and performance. These routers not only address the technical needs of modern networks but also strategically position organizations for future growth in an increasingly digital world. Each model, with its unique attributes, continues to support the varied demands of global communication infrastructures.
