Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP

Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP Restrictions

With traditional VoIP usages of connection trunk, the call is mapped to a remote router/gateway, and all the H.323 signaling is handled dynamically when the trunk is established. With hoot and holler over IP, the connection trunk is associated with the IP address of the IP multicast group that maps to the hoot group.

In addition, all negotiation of UDP ports for the audio stream is manually configured. The following example shows an E&M voice port connection trunk set up for Cisco hoot and holler over IP:

voice-port 1/0/0 connection trunk 111 music-threshold -30 operation 4-wire

!

dial-peer voice 1 voip destination-pattern 111 voice-class permanent 1 session protocol multicast

session target ipv4:237.111.0.0:22222 ip precedence 5

In this example, the digits in the connection trunk 111 string match the destination pattern of the VoIP dial peer. Also, the session protocol is set to multicast and the session target is pointing to the IPmc group number, with the UDP port (22222) predefined.
