Translation Pattern in CUBE 2921 series

[mohammad saeed]

Hi guys,

I m fresh in VoIP and I found one CUBE connect with SIP and CUCM with this destination pattern:

dial-peer voice 9 voip
description **Outgoing Call to STC SIP Trunk**
destination-pattern 01[123456789].......
rtp payload-type comfort-noise 13
session protocol sipv2
session target ipv4:10.200.7.157
session transport udp
voice-class sip dtmf-relay force rtp-nte
dtmf-relay rtp-nte digit-drop
codec g711alaw
no vad
!

My question is 01[123456789]..... "I didn't find explanation for that way without comma or hyphen! what is it mean those number together [123456789] is it the same if i use it with commas [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]??

Thanks for all

Mohammad Saeed

Yes, they are the same, but proper syntax is to use commas between them, though it works either way. You can also summarize it as [1-9].

As far as I know it means the same as 1 through 9 so the following three mean the same thing:

[1-9]

[123456789]

[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]

FYI, this is a destination pattern as opposed to a translation pattern.
You are not translating anything, you are matching based on the Called Number.

devils_advocate,

Comma should be used, see:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/12_2/voice/configuration/guide/fvvfax_c/vvfpeers.html

[ ]	Indicates a range of digits. A consecutive range is indicated with a hyphen (-); for example, [5-7]. A nonconsecutive range is indicated with a comma (,); for example, [5,8]. Hyphens and commas can be used in combination; for example, [5-7,9].  Note Only single-digit ranges are supported. For example, [98-102] is invalid.

My bad.

I edited my post straight after, I was thinking translation pattern initially.

So if I didn't use commas that means is wrong destination pattern?

[Chris Deren]

It still works, though the proper syntax is to use commas, many folks miss that because it works both ways :-)

[mohammad saeed]

Good, but why choose [123456789] instead of [1-9] what is the benefit of that?

Thanks,

[Chris Deren]

No benefit, you would want to change it to [1-9].
