we have Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance Version: 11.6.

SIP Trunks from CUCM to Cube/Voice Gateway Routers, Unity Connection are showing "No Service" in PCA.

But from the Cisco Unified Communication Manager, these trunks are showing "Full Service"

It seems Prime Collaboration Assurance is not updating or getting the status from these SIP Trunks.
However, the status of other trunks are properly updated in PCA and showing "Full Service".
All the Communication Manager Nodes are manageable and Accessible from PCA Inventory.

But SIP Trunks from CUCM to Cube/Voice Gateway Routers, Unity Connection are showing "No Service" in PCA.
