Appendix A - Dial Peer Configuration Examples

This appendix contains a series of configuration examples featuring the minimum required components and critical Cisco IOS command lines extracted from voice gateway configuration files necessary to complete an endpoint-to-endpoint call. Each example is designed to focus on a specific combination of components or configuration concept essential to voice over IP (VoIP) communication. This appendix covers the following topics:

Two Analog Phones

The simplest and most ubiquitous implementation of dial peer configuration involves connecting two standard analog telephones over an IP network. The following two examples illustrate the minimum required configurations necessary to connect two analog phones, where they are attached to the same voice gateway router and where each phone is attached to its own voice gateway router via FXS ports installed in the voice gateway routers in question.

Once the connection between two analog phones over the IP network can be set up, you can then alter the configuration slightly to enable fax communication over the IP network. Figure 19 illustrates the configuration files necessary to establish T.38 Fax Relay functionality over the IP network.

An Analog Phone and an IP Phone Connected over an IP Network

Once you are able to establish the connection of two analog phones over an IP network, you can then expand the scope of configuration coverage to include an analog phone and an IP phone connected over the IP network. The configuration for each of the voice gateway routers is essentially the same as if you were connecting two analog phones; you will need to ensure that you have allowed for a Cisco CallManager server connection to the appropriate Cisco voice gateway router to accommodate the introduction of the IP phone.

Note

A CallManager server has been used in this configuration to manage the Cisco IP phone. However, this document does not address Cisco CallManager configuration. For more information on Cisco CallManager setup and configuration, refer to the Cisco CallManager documentation available on Cisco.com.

Two IP Phones Connected via a Voice over Frame Relay Network

The examples thus far in this appendix have described connecting endpoints over an IP network based primarily on Ethernet connections. However, you may find that you must configure a Frame Relay WAN to effectively serve the voice communications demands for your system. Figure 21 and the subsequent Cisco voice gateway router configuration examples illustrate the dial peer configuration and Frame Relay Cisco IOS commands necessary to enable Frame Relay communication across your IP network.

Note

Although it is an essential portion of the configuration of this system, and the following configuration files contain the Cisco IOS commands necessary to establish Frame Relay connectivity, Frame Relay configuration is not addressed in this document. For more information on Frame Relay configuration, refer to the appropriate documentation available on Cisco.com.

Using Digit Manipulation to Overcome the Obstacle of an IP Network Failure

Figure 22 and the subsequent Cisco voice gateway router configuration examples illustrate the dial peer configuration necessary to automatically route an outgoing voice call over the PSTN in the event of a temporary IP network outage. An advantage to this method of setting up and connecting the call over the PSTN (while still originating the transmission from a voice gateway router) is more commonly known as toll bypass.
