Configuring RTP Media Loopback for SIP Calls

RTP packets are looped back toward the source device when the RTP Media Loopback for SIP Calls feature is configured on a dial peer. The SIP RTP media loopback can be used during Cisco UBE deployments to make test calls to verify the media path between the endpoints and Cisco UBE. In a voice loopback call, an echo is heard at the device originating the call. In a video loopback call, the locally captured video and the audio echo must be rendered at the source device.

Prerequisites for Configuring RTP Media Loopback for SIP Calls

Media packets must be enabled to pass through the gateway. Use the media flow-through command in dial peer voice or voice service configuration mode to enable the media packets.

Cisco Unified Border Element

•Cisco IOS Release 15.1(4)M or a later release must be installed and running on your Cisco Unified Border Element.

Cisco Unified Border Element (Enterprise)

•Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3S or a later release must be installed and running on your Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router.

Restrictions for Configuring RTP Media Loopback for SIP Calls

•SRTP, DTLS, and STUN are not supported in loopback mode.

•Fax (midcall transmit function change) is not supported.

•RSVP is not supported.

•Call transfer is not supported.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

4. destination-pattern string

5. session protocol sipv2

6. session target loopback:rtp

7. incoming called-number string

8. 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(config)# dial-peer voice 77 voip

Specifies that the dial peer is a VoIP peer and enters dial peer voice configuration mode.

Step 4

destination-pattern string
Example:

Router(config-dial-peer)# destination-pattern 77

Specifies the prefix or the full E.164 number for the dial peer.

Step 5

session protocol sipv2
Example:

Router(config-dial-peer)# session protocol sipv2

Specifies the session protocol for calls with the SIP option.

Step 6

session target loopback:rtp
Example:

Router(config-dial-peer)# session target loopback:rtp

Designates a network-specific address to receive calls from a VoIP dial peer and configures all voice data to loop back to the source.

Step 7

incoming called-number string
Example:

Router(config-dial-peer)# incoming called-number 77

Specifies a digit string that can be matched by an incoming call to associate the call with the dial peer.

Step 8

exit
Example:

Router(config-dial-peer)# exit

Exits dial peer voice configuration mode and enters global configuration mode.
