Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

SIP—Configurable Hostname in Locally Generated SIP Headers

This feature allows you to configure the hostname for use in locally generated SIP headers in either of two configuration modes.

Prerequisites

Cisco Unified Border Element

•Cisco IOS Release 12.4(2)T or a later release must be installed and running on your Cisco Unified Border Element.

Cisco Unified Border Element (Enterprise)

•Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5 or a later release must be installed and running on your Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router.

Restrictions

•Dial-peer-specific configuration takes precedence over more general gateway-wide configuration.

How to Configure the Hostname in Locally Generated SIP Headers

To configure the Hostname in Locally Generated SIP Headers, perform the following tasks:

•Configuring Hostname in Locally Generated SIP Headers at the Global Level

•Configuring Hostname in Locally Generated SIP Headers at the Dial-Peer-Specific Level

Configuring Hostname in Locally Generated SIP Headers at the Global Level

To configure the local hostname in global configuration mode for use in locally generated URLs, complete the task in this section.

Note Dial-peer-specific configuration takes precedence over more general gateway-wide configuration.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. voice service voip

4. sip

5. localhost dns:local-host-name-string

6. exit

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

voice service voip

Example:

Router(config)# voice service voip

(Required) Enters the voice-service VoIP configuration mode

Step 4

sip

Example:

Router(config-voi-serv)# sip

(Required) Enters the SIP configuration mode.

Step 5

localhost dns:local-host-name-string

Example:

Router(conf-serv-sip)# localhost dns:host_one

(Optional) Globally configures the gateway to substitute a DNS hostname or domain as the localhost name in place of the physical IP address in the From, Call-ID, and Remote-Party-ID headers in outgoing messages:

•dns:local-host-name-string—Alphanumeric value representing the DNS domain (consisting of the domain name with or without a specific hostname) in place of the physical IP address that is used in the host portion of the From, Call-ID, and Remote-Party-ID headers in outgoing messages.

•This value can be the hostname and the domain separated by a period (dns:hostname.domain) or just the domain name (dns:domain). In both case, the dns: delimiter must be included as the first four characters.

Step 6

exit

Example:

Router(conf-serv-sip)# exit

Exits the current configuration mode.

Configuring Hostname in Locally Generated SIP Headers at the Dial-Peer-Specific Level

To configure the local hostname in dial-peer-specific configuration mode for use in locally generated URLs, complete the task in this section.

Note This configuration takes precedence over global configuration.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. dial-peer voice tag voip

4. voice-class sip localhost dns:[hostname.]domain [preferred]

5. exit

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

dial-peer voice tag voip

Example:

Router# dial-peer voice 100 voip

(Required) Enters dial-peer configuration mode for the specified dial peer.

Step 4

voice-class sip localhost dns:[hostname.]domain [preferred]

Example:

Router(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip localhost dns:example.com

(Optional) Configures individual dial peers to override global settings on the gateway and substitute a DNS hostname or domain as the localhost name in place of the physical IP address in the From, Call-ID, and Remote-Party-ID headers in outgoing messages:

•dns:local-host-name-string—Alphanumeric value representing the DNS domain (consisting of the domain name with or without a specific hostname) in place of the physical IP address that is used in the host portion of the From, Call-ID, and Remote-Party-ID headers in outgoing messages.

•This value can be the hostname and the domain separated by a period (dns:hostname.domain) or just the domain name (dns:domain). In both case, the dns: delimiter must be included as the first four characters.

Step 5

exit

Example:

Router(config-dial-peer)# exit

Exits the current configuration mode.

Verifying the Hostname in Locally Generated SIP Headers

To verify the hostname in locally generated SIP headers for global or dial-peer-specific configuration, use the following show commands:

•show call active voice

•show call history voice

Step 1 Use the show call active voice command to display output when the local hostname is enabled:
