Configuring Static Routes
Configure a static route for SIP proxy server traffic. A dynamic route represents a path through the network that automatically get calculated according to routing protocols and routing update messages. A static route represents a fixed path through the network that you explicitly configure.
Static routes take precedence over dynamic routes.
Procedure
Step 1 Perform one of the following actions:
|
If you want to:
|
Action
|
Add a static route |
a. Select Presence > Routing> Static Routes. b. Click Add New. |
Update a server |
a. Find the record as described in "Finding Static Routes" section. b. Edit the record as required. |
Step 2 Enter the static route configuration settings as described in Table 17-1.

Field
|
Description
|
Destination Pattern |
This field specifies the pattern of the incoming number, up to a maximum of 255 characters. Note The SIP proxy allows only 100 static routes to have an identical route pattern. If you exceed this limit, Cisco Unified Presence will log an error. You can use "." as a wildcard for a single character and "*" as a wildcard for multiple characters. You can also use a dash or hyphen, "-" anywhere in the pattern. Wildcard Usage For phones • A dot can exist anywhere in the pattern. • An asterisk can only exist at the end. For IP addresses and host names •You can use an asterisk as part of the a host name. •The dot acts as a literal value in a host name. An escaped asterisk sequence, \*, matches a literal * and can exist anywhere. |
Description |
Specifies the description of a particular static route, up to a maximum of 255 characters. |
Next Hop |
Specifies the domain name or IP address of the destination (next hop) and can be either a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or dotted IP address. Note Cisco Unified Presence supports DNS SRV-based call routing. To specify DNS SRV as the next hop for a static route, set this parameter to the DNS SRV name. |
Next Hop Port |
Specifies the port number of the destination (next hop). Default: 5060 Note Cisco Unified Presence supports DNS SRV-based call routing. To specify DNS SRV as the next hop for a static route, set the next hop port parameter to 0. |
Route Type |
Specifies the route type: User or Domain. Default setting: User |
Protocol Type |
Specifies the protocol type for this route, TCP, UDP, or TLS. Default setting: TCP |
Priority |
Specifies the route priority level. Lower values indicate higher priority. Value range: 1—65535 Default setting: 1 |
Weight |
Specifies the route weight. Use this parameter only if two or more routes have the same priority. Higher values indicate which route has the higher priority. Value range: 1—65535 Example: Consider these three routes with associated priorities and weights: •1, 20 •1, 10 •2, 50 In this example, the static routes are listed in the correct order. The priority route is based on the lowest value priority, that is 1. Given that two routes share the same priority, the weight parameter with the highest value decides the priority route, in this instance, 1, 20. |
Allow Less-Specific Route |
Specifies that the route can be less specific. Default setting: On |
In Service |
Specifies whether this route has been taken out of service. Note This parameter allows the administrator to effectively take a route out of service (versus removing it completely and re-adding it). |
Block Route Check Box |
Check to block the route. Default value: Unblocked |
Step 3 Complete one of the following actions to save the data:
a. Click the Save icon that displays in the tool bar in the upper, left corner of the window.
b. Click Save at the bottom of the window.
Finding Static Routes
Because you might have several static routes in your network, Cisco Unified Presence lets you locate specific static routes on the basis of specific criteria.
Procedure
Step 1 Select Presence > Routing> Static Routes.
Step 2 To find all records in the database, ensure the dialog box is empty; go to Step 4.
Step 3 To filter or search records, perform one of the following actions:
•From the first list box, select a search parameter.
•From the second list box, select a search pattern.
•Specify the appropriate search text, if applicable.
Step 4 Click Find.
Step 5 From the list of records that display, perform one or more of the following actions:
|
If you want to:
