Requirement / Issue:
Service Provider is using ISR 3945 as a CUBE to connect to his interconnect Service Provider over SIP trunks. ISP is interested to know the total active SIP Calls on the trunk (not call legs). Is there a way we could arrive at the total active calls from the call legs and identify the SIP-to-SIP calls on Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE)?
Show commands to Identify the active call count on SIP:

Since the above example is only on SIP-SIP calls you can see from active call Summary
No. of SIP-SIP Calls = SIP call leg / 2 = 19
But there can be more on total legs as there can some calls being generated. If you have MTP/transcoder / conference then those legs will be more than the actual call leg. So we should take no. of SIP legs /2 for SIP-SIP calls. |
Good one just referred someone here. +5

Hi Muthurani,
Really good post. Thanks Terry in referring this to me :).
Editing after some more research:
Let me know if "show subscription sip summary" can be used to get the SIP subscription information (# of parallel SIP sessions we can make). Please guide me.

Great post Muthurani. Thsi was really helpful
Thank you everyone. all your comments are really encouraging.

Hi Lavanya, I am Lakshman, new to Cisco Voice World.. working as a UC engineer.. I need troubleshooting docs as well if you have any documents which are helpful to Voice World please share with me....my mail id is laxman.cisco@gmail.com... i have gone through your cisco support profile..nice and extraordinary ... Hope to hear from you soon.. Good Day ..
So what the command to find out how many sip sessions i can actually establish on my 3945. we have the uck9 lic and i think i read that it max at 950. But is there a max count i can see on my routers.
Very good article!! Thanks for the great job
Hi Muthurani,
Thank you for this detailed document.
You can also check SIP Trunk call activity through RTMT Tool. The "Trunk Activity" under Voice/Video section in RTMT Tool shows call activity for all SIP Trunks configured in CUCM. If you would like to see call activity for specific SIP Trunk, then you can go to System >> Performance >> Select CUCM >> Cisco SIP. Choose the performance counters under Cisco SIP to see Trunk activity. Please see the attached screenshots..
Thanks,

Hi
Is it possible to get this information as a notification via e-mail? i.e. Could I assign a threshold for active calls and then setup get a notification via SNMP?
Thanks
Chris
Excellent post! This is Cisco Community working as intended!
Is there a counter available via SNMP that contains a value that represents active SIP calls on the ISP side? For example, only the 'client' side of "sh sip-ua call br", i.e. "Number of SIP User Agent Client(UAC) calls: ". Or, just the ORG side of "show call active voice compact"? Those values seem to properly count SIP sessions between our cubes and upstream providers, which are all that I care about when trying to measure SIP session utilization versus max concurrent sessions on the provider side, to see if we're coming close to the limit.
CISCO-VOICE-DIAL-CONTROL-MIB::cvCallVolConnActiveConnection.sip seems to double the count since it's counting phone to cube plus cube to PSTN. I realize I can divide by two, but wasn't sure if that variable may increment from other types of calls the cube handles.
