Voice Service Advertisement Framework Feature
First Published: June 16, 2010
Last Updated: June 6, 2011About the Voice Service Advertisement Framework Feature
Providing timely and reliable voice services play a prominent role in growing IP telephony deployments. As the network and related services grow, the complexity of device integration—where existing devices must be updated and capable of learning and utilizing new telephony services—becomes a significant challenge for network administrators.
The Voice Services Advertisement Framework (Voice SAF) feature is a mechanism by which various Cisco Unified Communications devices can dynamically learn and adapt to changes in a network topology, allowing these devices to discover the existence, location, and configuration of networked resources within networks.
As networks grow, the services offered on these networks also grow. Voice SAF provides timely and reliable awareness of these additional services by leveraging the dynamic properties of routing protocols and providing a dynamic, plug-and-play environment for services within a network. In the most simple terms, Voice SAF enables applications to advertise and discover services.

About SAF
Service Advertisement Framework (SAF) provides a dynamic, plug-and-play environment for services within a network, enabling applications to advertise and discover services. The elements that make up the framework include SAF Clients, SAF Forwarders, forwarder nodes, transit forwarder nodes, and transparent nodes.
This section describes the following topics:
•
SAF and Cisco IOS Service Advertisement Framework
SAF and Cisco IOS Service Advertisement Framework
Voice SAF is a subset of Cisco IOS Service Advertisement Framework. Before Voice service SAF is configured, it must first be enabled and configured as a Cisco IOS SAF service family to initiate the SAF service-discovery process. Additionally, interface-specific commands must be configured under service-family for Cisco SAF.
SAF Clients and Forwarders
The SAF network service is any information that an SAF Client application wants to advertise and can then be used by other SAF Client applications for routing services. The SAF Client learns and advertises the services. For applications that want to advertise to the network or request a service from the network, or both, use the SAF Client and SAF Forwarder.
This includes the source of the advertisement, the advertising SAF node, the type of service, and the means to contact the advertised service. An SAF Client that requires a service first must establish a relationship with the forwarder node and request the type of services it requires. The forwarder node then sends current advertisements (header and opaque data) to the clients that were previously learned from other forwarders.
Any node in the network that does not understand SAF is considered a transparent or non-SAF node. These nodes are referred to as "dark nets." Because messages are required to traverse ISP networks, SAF messages are IP-based and pass through such networks unaffected.
SAF Forwarder neighbors are established on a LAN using dynamic discovery, which occurs automatically on all configured and operational interfaces. Neighbors can also be statically configured to enable them to traverse through dark nets.
Figure 1 shows how the SAF Forwarder nodes create relationships between SAF Clients and the framework. The SAF Forwarder node receives the service advertisement and keeps a copy before forwarding the advertisement to its neighbor SAF Forwarder nodes. The SAF Client and SAF Forwarder node relationship is designed to maintain the advertisement and, if an SAF Client removes a service or disconnects from the forwarder node, this node informs the remainder of the framework of those services that are no longer available.
Figure 1 Neighbors and SAF Forwarders
The SAF Forwarder propagates service information to other forwarders as well, without producing or consuming any services. The SAF Forwarder interacts with client proxies, receiving services advertised by clients and making services available for client use. The SAF Forwarder also propagates service advertisements to other forwarders, across LANs, campus networks, and "dark nets," such as WANs, ISPs, and the Internet.
A transit forwarder node is a node without connected clients. It is generally found within the network and provides connectivity between the forwarder nodes. Transit forwarder nodes are optional in small deployments because all nodes can be forwarder nodes with simple peering arrangements. When a transit node receives advertisements from a SAF peer, the node forwards a copy to all other peers and then discards the opaque data, retaining a copy of the header information. So that advertisements can be updated or flushed during topology changes, the transit forwarder node requires the header information. By using this header information, the entire framework ensures the integrity and connectivity of the available services is correctly maintained during connectivity changes. This allows the framework to become segmented, operating autonomously with only the reachable services being advertised. As connectivity is reestablished with the services, they become reachable and are again advertised.
SAF Clients connect to the SAF network in one of two ways:
•
SAF Clients can reside on the same router as an SAF Forwarder using an internal client API, such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (Cisco Unified CME), to connect to the forwarder.
•
SAF Clients can be external to an SAF Forwarder and require a protocol interface.
A major service is advertised by a 16-bit service identifier (service ID) in the range of 1 to 65534, which is displayed as a decimal value. A minor service is advertised by a 16-bit subservice identifier (subservice ID) in the range of 1-65534, which is displayed as a decimal value.
The SAF advertisement provides sufficient information about the service, what is being offered by the service, and how to contact the service; it is not a method for sending or updating information between services.
Voice SAF Key Benefits
The following list describes salient features of Voice SAF:
•
Tighter integration with overlay technologies.
•
Reduction in configuration complexity as Voice SAF moves intelligence into the network as applications become network resources.
•
Increased services availability and self discovery. It is similar to propagating IP subnet reachability through routing protocols. In Voice SAF neighborhood relationships can be formed across multiple hops, accommodating a phased roll out. It does not employ periodic broadcast, which limits resource demands on the network.
•
Independent of call signaling protocols, such as H.323 voice and video conferencing and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
•
Improvement in network application resiliency. Distributed intelligence allows all features to work identically, even in the absence of network connectivity to a central site, or a routing element, such as a gatekeeper or proxy.
•
Scalability using Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
How Voice SAF Works
This section describes the following topics:
SAF Autonomous System
Voice SAF is an internal client that provides the connectivity to talk to the SAF network for products such as Cisco Unified CME, Cisco Unified SRST, TDM gateway and Cisco Unified Border Element. The scalability features inherent in the routing module are passed on to Voice SAF. One of these scalability features is the autonomous system feature module to route service advertisements in a hierarchical manner. An autonomous system (AS) is a collection of networks under a common administration that share a common routing strategy. An AS, sometimes called a domain, can be logically subdivided into multiple areas.
Use the router eigrp and network commands to create a routing process (see the Cisco IOS Service Advertisement Framework Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Service Advertisement Framework Command Reference for details). This command requires an AS number. All routers within an AS must use the same AS number to exchange routing information with each other.
To run Voice SAF, you do not need to run base routing. For example, multiple services can share the same characteristics that exist in the current EIGRP routing configuration topology. The EIGRP command-line interface (CLI) infrastructure has been restructured to group several service families under a single service description, where each service is associated with a particular service family. Each defined service family is used by the application as a service channel from which to advertise and subscribe. Use the service-family command to define a service family (see the Cisco IOS Service Advertisement Framework Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Service Advertisement Framework Command Reference for details).
Voice SAF Channel
In the context of Voice SAF, as shown in Figure 2, a channel is the conduit through which the service advertisements are sent (published) and received (subscribed). The configured channel (identified by its channel ID) is registered and associated with a specific virtual router identified by its unique name and a specific autonomous system identified by its autonomous system number (see "Configuring the Voice SAF Channel" section). The virtual router consists of a virtual router name and a set of associated IP addresses across a common LAN.
After the channel is configured, parameters must be set for the channel to play the role of either publisher or subscriber. The publish parameter is associated with a service identified by its service instance (see "Configuring to Publish a Service on an SAF Channel" section). The subscribe parameter can be configured to subscribe to all instances (in a wildcard fashion) or to a specific instance identified by its explicit service instance ID (see "Configuring to Subscribe for a Service on an SAF Channel" section).
Client Registration to the SAF Forwarder
A Voice SAF Forwarder receives services advertised by SAF Clients, distributes the services reliably throughout the network, and makes services available for Voice SAF Clients to learn and advertise the services. It propagates service advertisements to other SAF Forwarders and across a LAN, campus network, WAN, or ISP.
A basic SAF Forwarder establishes the relationship between SAF Clients and the SAF framework. A SAF Forwarder is normally located at the edges or boundaries of a network and receives service advertisements, storing a copy before forwarding the advertisement to its neighbor SAF Forwarder nodes. The client and forwarder relationship sustains the advertisement and notifies the rest of the framework if services are no longer available when the SAF Client disconnects from the SAF Forwarder node. When the forwarder node receives advertisements from other forwarder nodes, it keeps a copy of the entire advertisement and forwards it to other SAF peers.
To allow for dynamic discovery of services at the interfaces running on a LAN, configure the SAF Forwarder for automatic discovery. To block interfaces from discovering services, configure static interfaces to prevent auto discovery. To allow the dynamic discovery of services for the SAF Forwarder across a Non-SAF node, configure the SAF Forwarder for auto discovery.
Before starting any Voice SAF operation, the SAF Forwarder and every appropriate parameter must be configured at the router EIGRP level using the Cisco IOS Service Advertisement Framework. A Voice SAF channel maps to the service family configuration in named router mode of the router eigrp command. Each service family defines the following parameters:
•
Virtual instance name
•
VRF name
•
Address family (IPv4 or IPv6)
•
Autonomous system number
•
Topology base
For details about configuring the service family, see the Cisco IOS Service Advertisement Framework Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Service Advertisement Framework Command Reference.
EIGRP configuration example
The following EIGRP configuration example defines three service families under the virtual router name "vrouter1." Each SAF channel can only define the virtual router name and autonomous system. There is currently no ability to set the VRF instance, address family, and topology for the voice SAF client. The VRF instance is set to "default," the address family is set to "IPv4." and topology is set to "base." Appropriate configurations need to exist at the service family level. The following examples show the service family configurations for AS 4453, AS 6345, and AS 7892,
router eigrp vrouter1service-family ipv4 autonomous-system 4453sf-interface ethernet 0no shutdownauthentication key-chain treesauthentication mode md5topology baseexitservice-family ipv4 autonomous-system 6345sf-interface ethernet 1no shutdowntopology voice_topo_name2exitservice-family ipv4 autonomous-system 7892sf-interface serial 0no shutdowntopology baseexitRegistration creates the SAF Client and successful session for the Voice SAF service family profile (configured through the SAF channel) with the forwarder.
To register a Voice SAF Client, complete the following steps:
1.
Choose which SAF channels to register by specifying the EIGRP Voice SAF virtual router name and autonomous system parameters to identify a specific SAF channel (see channel).
The forwarder registration service creates an SAF Client channel and a Voice SAF connection with the SAF Forwarder layer. The SAF client channel remains inactive until registration is complete and populated with the SAF Client provided by the forwarder.
2.
The Voice SAF Forwarder returns the SAF Client upon successful registration.
3.
The Voice SAF Forwarder makes the SAF Client channel active and available for other operations and inserts it into the SAF Client channel table.
Note
If the Voice SAF channel is configured before the corresponding EIGRP service family is configured, the channel cannot be configured and an error is logged in the system log. You can also check the registration status using the appropriate show CLI commands.
Figure 2 Voice SAF Channel and Services
Call Control Service
Cisco Unified Communications Manager call control service decodes addressing information and routes telephone calls from one endpoint to another. It controls telephone and PBX functions and provides the signaling to establish, disconnect (tear down), and transfer the call.
The Voice SAF call control service is identified by a call control service tag, which defines the DN service by the DN service name, which can optionally be given a description. It is made up of the following optional parameters:
•
Unique site code number
•
Trunk route profile defined by its trunk route ID
•
One or more DN block IDs
Site codes are numbers administratively assigned to calling areas to create unique digits used for internal directory numbers. To manipulate the digits of the telephone numbers that come into and go out of the voice gateway, site codes might need to be removed for calls made within a site or add area codes and other digits to route calls through the PSTN (see Configuring the Call Control Services).
Call Pattern Prefix
The call pattern prefix specifies a prefix for a specific dial peer. It adds specific digits to the beginning of the dialed string before it is forwarded to the telephony interface by the dial peer. For outgoing calls sent to this dial peer, the prefix string value is first sent to the interface, before the telephone number, associated with the dial peer. To configure different prefixes for dialed numbers on the same interface, you need to configure different dial peers. Digit prefixing occurs after the outbound dial peer is matched and before any digits are sent out. The called number is manipulated using digit prefixing.
The call pattern prefix is configured as the default prefix pattern with either a global or local prefix string (see Configuring the Call Pattern Prefix for SAF)
SAF Client as a Publisher
A Voice SAF Client advertises (publishes) to the network or uses (subscribes) services from the network, or both. When a SAF Client sends a register message to a SAF Forwarder, it establishes a relationship with the SAF Forwarder. The SAF Forwarder uses this register message to obtain a unique identifier that distinctly identifies this SAF Client from others connected to it. Only after a Voice SAF Client registers, can it advertise (publish) to, or request (subscribe), services.
When advertising a service, an SAF Client publishes advertisements to the SAF Forwarder that contain information about the service it offers. The SAF Client can send multiple publish requests, each advertising a distinct service. The SAF Forwarder advertises all services published by the SAF Client.
The publisher service advertises the subservice profiles on the chosen SAF channel. The Voice SAF process can advertise the list of hosted DN patterns of endpoints that are local to the Cisco Unified CME as well as information needed to reach PSTN endpoints. The advertisements are sent as an XML document on the SAF framework. The publisher service builds data from a given subservice profile that is converted into an XML format and sent out to the SAF framework. Each subservice profile can result in two advertised SAF instances: one with trunk route advertising SIP signaling and another advertising H.323 signaling.
The patterns you configure are prepended with a site code before being advertised, creating an incoming dynamic dial peer with the translation rule to remove the site code from the dialed number.
For example:
site-code : 333voice translation-rule 2000000001rule 1 /^333\(...\)/ /\1/A block of dial-peer tags in the range of 1073741824-2147483647 are used by Voice SAF. The static dial-peer tag range is lowered to 1-1073741823. The dynamic incoming dial peers described in the previous example are created using a tag in the Voice SAF range.
Only one incoming dial peer is created for a trunk route advertising SIP and H.323 signaling. Similarly, translation rule tags in the range of 1073741824-2147483647 are used for Voice SAF.
SAF Client as a Subscriber
When requesting a service, the SAF Client sends a request notification of services using a subscribe request. The subscribe request contains a set of services in which the SAF Client is interested. The SAF Forwarder sends the current set of services that match the needs of the SAF Client, in a series of notify requests in response to this request. To provide flow control, multiple notify requests are sent. The Voice SAF Client must, in turn, respond to each notify request before the SAF Forwarder sends the next request. As with a publish request, the SAF Client can generate multiple subscribe requests. The SAF Client can also generate an unsubscribe request, which removes one of its existing subscriptions.
The subscriber service subscribes remote advertisements on given service and subservice identifiers. The SAF Client registers a callback with the Voice SAF forwarder for getting notifications regarding the availability of specific services.
The EIGRP Voice SAF provides the mechanism for Voice SAF Clients to subscribe to advertisements from a specific client instance. The instance ID in the SAF header has a 128-bit value and is unique across the entire network for a given service and subservice. The SAF Forwarder on the router defines a 32-bit router identifier (router ID) that is unique across the network. The router ID is part of the instance ID on top of identities associated with each profile instance.
Service Instances and Types of Services
Each service advertised on the Voice SAF network has a unique instance identifier (instance ID). The SAF Client can choose to be notified of all instances of a subservice or only of a particular instance by providing its unique service instance identifier.
The use of multiple service instances enhances the ability to separate the resources associated with a given instance both within a router and across the network. Multiple instances of a service can coexist on the same network and on the same physical router. Instance IDs must be unique within the same routing domain (autonomous system).
When a specific voice client instance subscribes and is interested in all the advertisements from all the clients in that Voice SAF channel, it uses a wildcard as the instance ID.
Subscribing to Fully Qualified Instance
To selectively listen from a particular instance of a client, the instance ID is fully qualified and indicates the explicit identity of the party of interest.
Subscribing to Hosted DN Services
When you subscribe to hosted Directory Name (DN) services, the subscriber service creates a local context of the channel to which you are being subscribed. Subscription can be for every call control service or for a fully qualified instance. You can explicitly subscribe to multiple fully qualified instances.
In response to the subscription request, the Voice SAF Forwarder returns the SAF subscription handle, which can be used later to unsubscribe from the service. The subscriber service updates the SAF Client channel with the SAF subscription handle and local subscription context.
To apply Voice SAF to a larger scale deployment environment, a border protocol, such as Cisco UBE (see "About Cisco Unified Border Element Using Voice SAF" section) , must be defined. Cisco UBE enhances the existing EIGRP SAF functionality to add application DN aggregation and summarization capability.
Explicit Withdrawal of DN Services
After receiving a request to remove the publication of a service, the Voice SAF Publisher service deletes the locally stored information for that particular advertised service and initiates a request to the SAF Forwarder to withdraw that service. The SAF Forwarder then notifies every interested SAF Client that the service has been withdrawn.
Whenever there is a change to the advertised service because of events such as the modification or deletion of the profiles advertised, you must manually execute the publish command to initiate the generation of a new service advertisement.
Note
Only changes explicitly made using the SAF command-line interface commands are advertised when the publish command is executed.
Shutting down the IP interface does not result in sending a service withdrawal message. You must modify the trunk route profile to remove the corresponding interface (that is, the session protocol) configuration, and then execute the publish command to send out the advertisement.
When you want to remove the publication of a service, use the following CLI command under the particular SAF channel:
no publish callcontrol 2
Where the service tag "2" must match a previously defined service.
Upon getting such a notification from the SAF Forwarder, the remote client deletes the DNs learned from that service advertisement and removes the associated dial peer trunk route information.
The following actions result in the withdrawal of a service by the SAF Client:
•
For profiles related to patterns
–
Deletion of all DN blocks associated with a service
–
Deletion of all patterns from all the DN blocks associated with a service
•
For profiles related to trunk routes
–
Deletion of the trunk routes associated with the service
–
Removal of all session protocols defined under the trunk route (if only one session protocol was removed, then the service is only withdrawn for that particular instance)
•
For profiles related to call control
–
Deletion of the call control service (deleted using the no dn-service command)
–
Deletion of the call control profile (deleted using the no profile callcontrol command)
•
For control commands
–
Use of the no publish service configuration command
–
Issuing a shutdown command for the Voice SAF channel
–
Deletion of the Voice SAF channel
–
Shutdown of the voice SAF service (deleted using the no voice saf command)
Note
Only control commands result in automatic service withdrawal. All profile-related changes require an explicit EXEC level publish command to bring about the withdrawal, for example using the voice saf publish channel channel_id callcontrol service tag command.
In addition to a client initiated withdrawal, the SAF Forwarder can also send a service withdrawal advertisement on the channel when the corresponding service family configuration is deleted. In this case, the SAF Forwarder sends a "registration revoke" message to the SAF Client.
Discovering Call Control Agents
Voice SAF uses a general protocol framework for distributing service information using a mechanism similar to routing. The Voice SAF architecture supports various services and applications. With Voice SAF capability, Cisco Unified Communications products, such as Cisco Unified CME, Cisco Communications Manager (CCM), Customer Voice Portal (CVP), and Voice Gateway can easily discover and configure service routes in a distributed deployment environment. These service routes can also be maintained by Voice SAF without human intervention when network components and connections change. Additionally, no application layer effort is necessary for functions like keepalive transactions.
Services and applications are identified by major service identifiers (service IDs) and minor subservice identifiers (subservice IDs) within Voice SAF. For a specific service client, a unique 128-bit instance identifier (instance ID) is used to identify a particular client. These identifiers are carried within the Voice SAF header following the normal EIGRP header fields. Service-specific data is carried in opaque data following the Voice SAF header.
An SAF header has the following format:
•
SAF Header
–
Standard EIGRP header that includes metrics, protocol version, authentication, and so on
•
SAF Header Content
–
Service ID: 2 Bytes
–
Sub-Service ID: 2 Bytes
–
Port: 4 Bytes
–
Sequence Number: 4 Bytes
–
Priority: 1 byte
–
Flags: 2 Bytes
–
Reachability: IPV4/6 address of the client
–
Encoding: AFI/ address
Every Cisco Unified Communications application shares the same service ID of 1. The TDM gateway uses a subservice ID of 1, and hosted DNs use subservice ID of 2.
This section describes the following topics:

Cisco Unified CME Branch Deployments and Assignment of Site Codes
Cisco Unified CME Branch Deployments and Assignment of Site Codes
The supported Cisco Unified CME SAF topology is fully meshed. Figure 3 shows a typical Voice SAF deployment with small Cisco Unified CME clusters. Figure 4 shows a typical Hybrid Cisco Unified CME deployment with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.
Note
Each Cisco Unified Communications Manager site requires an external SAF forwarder attached to it (see "About Cisco Unified Border Element Using Voice SAF" section).
Extension length is a new parameter that can be specified in the call control profile. If a site code is specified, then extension length must be configured such that it corresponds to the extension length for the configured DNs. The system does not check to ensure conformance with the local extension DNs configured under the profile. For example, in the following command sequence, the extension length parameter must be configured:
Router(conf-voi-serv-saf-cc)# dn-serviceRouter(conf-voi-serv-saf-cc-dn)# site-code 333 ?extension-length Number of digits in the extension patternRouter(conf-voi-serv-saf-cc-dn)# site-code 333 extension-length ?<1-1532> Number of extension digits.
Note
Existing Cisco Unified CME extensions are fully qualified to E.164 format using the dialplan-pattern command. This command creates an outbound alias dial peer to every phone extension that registers to the Cisco Unified CME and the destination pattern in the E.164 format of the corresponding extension.

Hosted DN
The hosted DN service represents a VoIP trunk service that can be utilized to reach a collection of native IP endpoints hosted on a call agent. The hosted DN service is fundamentally a link between two pieces of information: the description of a VoIP trunk and the set of native endpoints reachable through that trunk.
DN Block
A DN block contains associated patterns, which represent regular expression patterns that comply with the grammar described for the dnGroup. The Voice SAF DN block allows the configuration of blocks of digits represented by digit patterns. The DN block is identified by a DN block identifier (DN block ID).
The DN pattern is the name of an element of the hosted DN service of the dnGroup type. The dnGroup type identifies a group of endpoints identifiable by phone numbers. SAF supports two types of numbers. One are global numbers, which are valid E.164 numbers, and the other are local numbers, which are not E.164 numbers, but are valid within the enterprise.
When learned at the remote endpoint, the DN block can be optionally configured to use alias digits or to strip all or a specific range of digits from a pattern of digits before any digits are sent out. An alias number is activated when a telephone registers that it has a phone number matching a configured alternate-number alias. Under that condition, an incoming call is rerouted to the alternate number. The alternate-number argument can be used in multiple alias commands, allowing you to reroute multiple different numbers to the same target number.
You can manipulate digits by adding or subtracting (stripping) digits from the original dialed number to conform to user dialing practices; digit manipulation involves adding, subtracting, and changing telephone numbers. The digit-strip subcommand, supported on plain old telephone service (POTS) dial peers only, is a dial peer command that strips off the matched digits in a destination pattern of a dial peer. You can configure the digit stripping to occur after the outbound dial peer is matched and before any digits are sent out. The called number is manipulated using digit stripping.
Voice SAF supports two types of patterns advertised by the call control service: extension patterns and global E.164 numbers. Local numbers, which are not E.164 numbers, but are still valid within the enterprise. Global numbers are valid E.164 numbers.
In a series of digit patterns, each pattern is identified by a pattern tag and can be either a global or extension type of pattern (see "Configuring DN Block" section).
Subscribing to Hosted DN Services
When you subscribe to hosted DN services, the subscriber service creates a local context in the scope of the channel to which you are being subscribed. The subscription can be for all call control services or for a fully qualified instance. You can explicitly subscribe to multiple fully qualified instances.
In response to the subscription request, the SAF Forwarder returns the SAF subscription handle. This SAF subscription handle can be used later to unsubscribe from the service.
Subscribing to Fully Qualified Instance
The EIGRP SAF provides the mechanism for SAF Clients to subscribe to advertisements from a specific client instance. The instance identifier (instance ID) in the SAF header has a 128-bit value and is unique across the entire network for a given service and subservice. The SAF Forwarder on the router defines a 32-bit router identifier (router ID) that is unique across the network. The router ID is part of the instance ID associated with each profile instance.
When a specific SAF Client instance subscribes to all the advertisements from all the clients in that channel, it uses a wildcard for the instance ID.
To selectively listen from a particular instance of a client, the instance ID is fully qualified and indicates the explicit identity of the party of interest.
Notification of Hosted DN Service
As notification updates are received from the SAF Forwarder for the subscribed service or subservice and related instances, the updates are given to the SAF Client in the scope of the registered subscription context.
The SAF DN database table is updated with the modified patterns. The DN pattern modification operation itself is basically to delete and add new entries. The new trunk route is associated to the added DN pattern entry.
If the XML advertisement is missing any required element or attribute, then that notification is dropped. The appropriate counters increment and this state is displayed after using the show voice service saf channel command.
Note
While parsing the XML advertisement, any unknown attribute or element is ignored. No error is generated for this case.
About Trunk Route
The trunk route profile describes the signaling interface by which a remote client can reach the service described in the advertisement. Trunk route profile information is common to both hosted directory number (DN) and TDM gateway services. Each trunk route conveys the signaling protocol, an optional IP address, port and transport protocol, security protocol, and signaling protocol specific to trunk access techniques.
A Voice SAF trunk route profile is identified by a route identifier (trunk route ID). To configure the trunk route profile, the session protocol (SIP or H.323), the interface (interface ID), and the transport type (TCP, UDP, or TLS-TCP) must be configured (see "Configuring Trunk Route" section).
Note
The Route element will not be advertised by Cisco Unified CME. However, if Cisco Unified Communications Manager publishes the route element, then it will include a route header containing this URI in the INVITE it sends to the CCM.
SAF Plug-in Dial Peer
SAF trunk route usage is transparent to the application modules. Existing operations and dial peer lookups during call routing and interfacing to the voice applications remain identical.
When the outbound dial peer match routines are called, the voice dial peer module matches all the static dial peers configured on the router, based on the destination pattern. To connect the querying the SAF module to available dynamic trunk routes, it is necessary to configure a special VoIP dial peer, called the SAF-Plug-in Dial-Peer, with the session target as keyword saf (see "Configuring SAF Plug-in Dial Peers" section).
For example:
SAF-Plugin Dial-Peer to query explicit dial pattern 333....!dial-peer voice 333 voippreference 1destination-pattern 333.... <<< SAF query initiation for explicit site-code - 333session target safSAF-Plugin Dial-Peer to query all dial patterns .T!dial-peer voice 7 voipdestination-pattern .T <<< SAF Query initiation for all dialed-numbers - .Tsession target saf!The first SAF Plug-in dial peer (tag 333) in the previous example indicates an explicit preference to return the dynamic SAF trunk routes on top of any statically configured trunk routes for a dial string to match 333. The second peer (tag 7) is a wildcard plug-in dial peer that must be configured in order for any dialed numbers to use SAF routes. Additionally, the SAF query is completed only one time if applicable on the call of dpMatchPeersXXXX().
After the SAF module is called, it returns one or more SAF Peers based on the query result of the SAF DN Database.
Note
The SAF Plug-in dial peer is treated like any other statically configured dial peer. All policies and configurations of the plug-in dial peer are inherited by the SAF peers. The plug-in dial peer tag value must be below 2048.
Automatic Alternate Routing
The Automatic Alternate Route (AAR) feature provides the functionality necessary to reach an extension hosted by the Cisco Unified CME by using an alternate PSTN number. When an IP router is unavailable, the AAR uses an alternate PSTN number. The publishing Cisco Unified CME can advertise alternate numbers for the DNs hosted in addition to the IP trunk routes. When the subscribing Cisco Unified CME routes a call, it dynamically learns the globally routable alias number. Figure 5 shows AAR routing within Voice SAF networks.
Figure 5 Automatic Alternative Routing Using Voice SAF
SAF Publisher
The SAF Publisher must be configured to provide the alternate or alias number. The alternate number can be specified at the DN block level (see "profile dn-block" section), which contains all the patterns that can use the same alternate number. When the patterns cannot use the same alternate number, then you can create the patterns under a different DN block.
In addition to the alternate number, you can also specify the strip field. This strip field determines the number of digits from the set of leading digits of the pattern that can be replaced by the alternate number. There can be two types of patterns advertised by the call control service: extension patterns and global E.164 numbers.
When a voice call is received, it chooses an outbound POTS dial peer by comparing the called number (the full E.164 telephone number) in the call information with the number configured as the destination pattern in the POTS dial peer. The router then strips off the left-justified digits that match the destination pattern. If you have configured a prefix, the prefix is added to the front of the remaining digits, creating a dial string, which the router then dials. If all numbers in the destination pattern are stripped out, the user receives a dial tone.
When the router matches a dial string to an outbound POTS dial peer, by default the router strips off the left-justified digits that explicitly match the destination pattern. Any remaining digits, called excess digits, are forwarded to the telephony interface, such as a PBX or the PSTN.
To advertise extension patterns, the site code is prepended to the pattern in the advertisement. When specifying the alternate number prefix and strip fields, be sure to take into consideration the number of digits used for the site code.
For example, if the DN patterns 3000, 3001, 3002 to 3099 have site code 444, then the advertised extension pattern in this case is 44430xx.
In another example, if these extension patterns have the same DID block prefix number 140855580xx, then you must configure the strip field to remove the four leading digits from the pattern and replace them with the alternate number prefix as follows:
//dn-block profile id : 4 , strip 4 digits from extension pattern //(prepended with site-code) and replace with 14085558dn-block 4 alias 14085558 strip length 4pattern 20 extension 30xxSAF Subscriber
When the notification handler service receives a notification that contains an alias for a particular pattern, it updates the Directory Number (DN) database with both the DN pattern and the alternate number.
If a withdrawal notification is received, all the patterns advertised by that instance that do not contain alias numbers are removed from the DN database. The corresponding IP trunk route is also removed. Only those advertised DNs that have the corresponding alias number are stored in the DN database. The advertised DNs are stored in the DN database because the queries are based on the advertised DN pattern. The instance age-out counter increments each time the AAR timer increments. (The AAR timer is set internally to five minutes.) After the age-out counter for an instance reaches its configured timeout value, all remaining DNs and alias numbers for that instance are removed. If the remote entity republishes the service with the same instance ID, then the age-out counter for that instance is reset, and the database is refreshed. The default timeout value is one day (1440 minutes).
When the call control application queries for an outbound dial peer match, it reaches the SAF plug-in dial-peer by using the normal dial-peer lookup procedure. If a match is found in the DN database, it returns a list of IP peers and peers that contain the alias PSTN number. The peers containing the alias numbers are ordered such that they appear at the bottom of the peer list before returning the results to the dial peer module. The alternate number is then tried at the end after attempts to reach the destination from the IP side fail.
The alias number found in the DN database can be prefixed with a steering digit specified using the pattern prefix default subcommand under the call command. If the alias DN steering prefix is configured, the alias number is prepended with prefix digits before querying for a dial peer match of the alias number. This helps to steer the alias numbers to a specific VoIP or POTS dial peer.
The dial-plan pattern specifies a global prefix for the expansion of abbreviated extension numbers into fully qualified E.164 public switched telephone network (PSTN) numbers.
Translation rules allow the manipulation of called numbers, calling numbers, and number types. It can also be attached in such a way that it translates calls in only one direction, either incoming or outgoing.
The syntax for translation rules can be cryptic if you are unfamiliar with regular expressions, but these rules can provide a powerful facility to manipulate digits. Translation rules are not tied to Cisco Unified CME, so you can use it on any Cisco IOS voice-enabled router.
Here are some considerations when using the Cisco IOS voice translation rules feature:
•
These rules make for a very powerful overall feature that can do almost any translation of digits required, but using these rules can be complicated and, therefore, prone to errors for inexperienced implementers.
•
Being a generic Cisco IOS feature, the feature's rules apply to all calls that traverse the router. It can be applied at a global level, dial peers, and ephone-dns (Cisco Unified CME IP phones).
•
The digits are manipulated before dial peer matching and call termination.
•
Calling and/or called numbers can be manipulated on every call based on what is configured.
•
The rules can be applied to incoming or outgoing calls (or both directions).
When applying translation rules to ephone-dns, there is a side effect that if no rule is matched, an extra post-dial delay is incurred. As a workaround, create a dummy translation rule that acts as a pass-through. For example, if no rule is applied to extension-to-extension calls, and the extensions all start with 5, add a rule that "translates" 5 to 5, just to make sure that a rule is always matched, and the delay is not incurred.
For more information about voice translation rules, see the Voice Translation Rules (Doc ID: 16083) presented on Cisco.com.
You can use an E.164 PSTN phone number to route calls over VoIP between Cisco Unified CME sites. In this case, intersite callers use the PSTN area code and local prefix to route calls between Cisco Unified CME systems.
About Voice SAF, Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and Cisco Unified CME
Cisco Unified Communications Manager serves as the software-based call-processing component of the Cisco Unified Communications family of products. A wide range of Cisco Media Convergence Servers provides high-availability server platforms for Cisco Unified Communications Manager call processing, services, and applications. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager system extends enterprise telephony features and functions to packet telephony network devices such as IP Phones, media processing devices, voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateways, and multimedia applications.
Cisco Unified CME is a feature-rich entry-level IP telephony solution that is integrated directly into Cisco IOS software. Cisco Unified CME allows small business customers and autonomous small enterprise branch offices to deploy voice, data, and IP telephony on a single platform for small offices, thereby streamlining operations and lowering network costs. A Cisco Unified CME system is extremely flexible because it is modular. A Cisco Unified CME system consists of a router that serves as a gateway and one or more VLANs that connect IP phones and phone devices to the router.
Cisco devices such as Cisco Unified CME, Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Customer Voice Portal (CVP), and IOS-Gateway can easily discover and configure service routes in a distributed deployment environment. These service routes can also be maintained by Voice SAF without human intervention when network components and connectivity change. All services and applications are identified by a service or subservice identifier within Voice SAF. A unique 128-bit instance identifier is used to identify this particular client. These identifiers are carried within Voice SAF header after the standard EIGRP header fields. Service specific data is carried in opaque data following the Voice SAF header. Figure 6 shows an example of the Voice SAF call control topology of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unified CME, and the PSTN gateway.
To avoid certain problems, a dial plan pattern with the site code must be created for SIP and SCCP IP phones if configured using voice register global and telephony service commands on the publisher Cisco Unified CME when the call control profile is advertised. This dial plan pattern creates dial peers such that the destination patterns are qualified using the site code.
For example, if the SIP phones contain seven-digit extensions with an advertised site code of 567, then the following dial plan pattern must be created using the voice register global command.

Figure 6 Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unified CME, and PSTN TDM Gateway Topology Using Voice SAF
Collocated Cisco Unified CME and Gateway
If the Cisco Unified CME and the Gateway are collocated on the same router, then the alias number can be routed to the PSTN network using an outgoing POTS dial peer. The alias-dn-steering prefix command can be configured to steer all the alias numbers to use a particular POTS dial peer.
Cisco Unified CME Gateway using Static VoIP Dial Peer
If the Gateway is not collocated with the Cisco Unified CME, then there could be a static VoIP dial peer on the Cisco Unified CME pointing to the Gateway. The alias-dn-steering prefix command can be configured to steer all the alias numbers to use a particular VoIP dial peer to reach the PSTN gateway.
Router in Gateway Mode
With the router in gateway mode, the IP Phones are registered with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The routers are in standby gateway mode. The Voice SAF DN database is populated with the patterns advertised by the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Cisco Unified CME Mode/Gateway Mode with SIP or H.323
Auto Discovery of TDM Gateways
TDM gateways convert time-division multiplexing (TDM) voice to packet voice. Discovery of Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster elements and associated Unified Communications applications, phones, and gateways is automatic.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically discovers the network and updates its knowledge base by identifying the role of every device and application in the Unified Communications network. It monitors the discovered network elements to detect faults using its built-in intelligence to immediately alert network managers through alerts and events. From alerts and event displays, network administrators can launch context-sensitive tools for each alert and event to troubleshoot the fault. The IP Phone status display, for example, can provide information about a phone's switch, switch port, serial number, application load, and so on, allowing administrators to locate the phone and further troubleshoot the problems.
The auto discovery feature determines which devices have already been added to the system so that the auto discovery feature does not attempt to discover the same device multiple times. All IP devices are grouped under their parent network (that is, it groups monitored objects in a network layout). This view provides a logical view of the network structure. For example, devices on the same subnet would be grouped together.
SAF Routing in Toll Bypass TDM Gateway Networks
Figure 7 illustrates setting up and connecting the TDM gateway call over the PSTN while still originating the transmission from a voice gateway router is known as toll bypass. The dial peer must be configured to automatically route an outgoing voice call over the PSTN in the event of a temporary IP network outage, The following configuration example shows how to configure a toll bypass.
As shown in Figure 7, you can create a toll bypass TDM gateway network by configuring the first gateway as a subscriber and second gateway as a publisher. Configure H.323 as trunk route and publish the DN service from the second gateway. The two TDM gateways should dynamically discover each other, allowing successful voice calls from the first PSTN gateway area 408 to be routed to the second PSTN gateway area 416 using SAF call routing. Use the show voice saf dnDb all command to verify that the DN service is learned by the subscriber gateway.
Figure 7 Toll Bypass Network Topology
About Cisco Unified SRST Using Voice SAF
Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony (Cisco Unified SRST) provides basic IP telephony backup services. IP Phones can fall back to the router in local branch offices when they lose their keepalives messages to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Cisco Unified SRST routers can use the Voice SAF auto-discovery mechanism to learn PSTN prefixes along with the extensions they manage (in SRST mode) in routing interbranch office calls. The Cisco Unified SRST router currently performs IP telephony call processing for IP Phones, emergency 911 calls can be made through the PSTN, and data is dialed backup. Cisco IP Phones Models 7960 and 7940 displays indicate whenever there is fallback (CallManager Fallback Operating).
For calls to be routed between Directory Numbers (DNs) across two different branch offices in fallback SRST mode, the originating branch router must learn and configure appropriate translation rules and number expansion. The number expansion (num-exp) command is a global command that applies to all calls and initiates a match-and-replace operation to expand or deflate numbers. This command is typically used for short dials and site codes. Number expansion occurs prior to matching a dial peer. The called number is manipulated using number expansion.
In most corporate environments, the telephone network is configured so that you can reach a destination by dialing only a portion (an extension number) of the full E.164 telephone number. You can define an extension number as the destination pattern for a dial peer. The router can be configured to recognize the extension number and expand it into its full E.164 dialed number when the num-exp global configuration command is used with the destination-pattern dial-peer voice configuration command. This helps to convert speed-dials and extensions to fully qualified E.164 numbers to enable calls that can be routed over the PSTN. When a new branch office is added, it becomes necessary for all other branch office routers to be updated with the appropriate number expansion translation rules. For networks comprised of a very limited small number of branch offices, it does not pose a major challenge.
However, the challenge is for a large enterprise network made up of 100 to 1000 branch offices, where it becomes cumbersome and error-prone to configure new updates each branch office with the number expansion rules.
If Cisco Unified SRST routers auto-discover each other's PSTN prefixes along with the extensions they handle (in SRST mode) and the auto-discovered PSTN prefixes can be used while routing interbranch office calls. This makes the task easier and more resilient to topographic changes.
You can perform one-time configurations related to gateway in SRST mode, and leave the rest for the routers to learn how to reach each other.
As part of Voice SAF call control discovery service, the concept of automatic-alternate routing (AAR) is implemented. AAR enables advertising the primary DNs along with its globally routable E.164 prefixes. The same concept can be used while Cisco Unified Communications Manager advertises the CCD service.
When the user-dialed primary DN is unreachable through the IP network, its corresponding alternate number is tried in an attempt to reach the endpoint off-net over the PSTN.
Figure 8 shows a typical Cisco Unified SRST topology over SIP for both an SAF-enabled and a non-SAF scenario.

About Cisco Unified Border Element Using Voice SAF
The Cisco Unified Border Element (Cisco UBE) is a session border controller, or IP-to-IP gateway, designed to provide easy and cost-effective connectivity between independent Cisco Unified Communications (including voice-over-IP and video-over-IP) networks. The Cisco UBE provides interconnection between incompatible applications within the enterprise network, between different enterprises for business-to-business applications, for enterprise connectivity to service provider SIP trunks, as well as between multiple independent service provider networks (peering).
The Cisco UBE provides session management capabilities, H.323 and SIP interworking functions, and network-to-network interface security and demarcation features. It performs most of the same functions of a public switched telephone network (PSTN)-to-IP gateway but joins two VoIP call legs. Media packets can either flow through (thus hiding the networks from each other) or flow around the Cisco UBE platform.
Cisco UBE allows SAF and non-SAF call control between Cisco Unified CME, Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unified SRST, and TDM gateway networks. Figure 9 shows typical Cisco UBE deployments:
SAF-Enabled Cisco CME (Cisco Unified Communications Manager) Branch to Non-SAF Cisco CME Branch Using Cisco UBE
Figure 9 shows Cisco UBE connecting SAF and non-SAF networks, where SIP calls from SAF-enabled Cisco Unified CME (or Cisco Unified Communications Manager) branch are successfully made to non-SAF Cisco Unified CME branch using Cisco UBE.
Cisco UBE publishes DN database patterns on behalf of non-SAF Cisco Unified CME branch to the SAF-enabled Cisco Unified CME branch, which subscribes to Cisco UBE.
SAF-Enabled Cisco CME (Cisco Unified Communications Manager) Branch to Non-SAF Cisco Unified SRST Branch Using Cisco UBE
Figure 9 also shows Cisco UBE connecting SAF and non-SAF networks, where calls from SAF-enabled Cisco Unified CME (or Cisco Unified Communications Manager) branch are successfully made to non-SAF Cisco Unified SRST branch using Cisco UBE.
Cisco UBE publishes DN database patterns on behalf of non-SAF Cisco Unified SRST branch to the SAF-enabled Cisco Unified CME (Cisco Communications Manager) branch, which subscribes to Cisco UBE.
SAF-Enabled Cisco CME (Cisco Unified Communications Manager) Branch to Non-SAF TDM Gateway Branch Using Cisco UBE
Additionally, Figure 9 also shows Cisco UBE connecting SAF and non-SAF networks, where calls from SAF-enabled Cisco Unified CME (or Cisco Unified Communications Manager) branch are successfully made to non-SAF TDM gateway branch using Cisco UBE.
Cisco UBE publishes DN database patterns on behalf of non-SAF TDM gateway branch to the SAF-enabled Cisco Unified CME (Cisco Communications Manager) branch, which subscribes to Cisco UBE.
In this case, the call is made from an IP Phone on Cisco Unified CME (or Cisco Unified Communications Manager) and routed to a non-SAF TDM gateway using Cisco UBE to an analog FXS Phone.

Usage Guidelines
There is no direct mapping for the DN block profile to the Unified Communications Manager SAF XML schema. The DN block can be configured with common attributes and grouped together. While generating the XML advertisement, the patterns under the different DN blocks are configured as children of the DN group element. It inherits the alias number from the DN block that was configured under DN group element.
Each DN block, in turn, holds multiple patterns and also defines the means to configure automatic alternate routing by specifying the alias number that applies to all the patterns specified in that block. Up to five DN block profiles can be configured. Each DN block can configure up to 25 patterns. A pattern can define two kinds of numbers: global numbers which are valid E.164 numbers and local numbers that are applicable for given site code.
Note
Alias numbers are applicable only for local extensions and do not apply to global patterns. A maximum of 16 digits can be specified for the alias number and extension pattern.
