CallManager wildcard ? and +

[aalejo]

Somebody knows the practical diference between ? and + wilcards.

Acording to cisco books 14? matches the dialed digits 1,14,141, 1411, etc.

Doing some Callmanager debugs I found that dialing only 1 does not match 14? pattern and dialing 14 matches both 14? and 14+

CCM 3.2

Thanks

Hi Alex,

I did some testing according to your claims and found that indeed "?" seems to behave like "+".

To be more specific this only seems to occur when "?" is used at the end of a route pattern, when used in the middle of a route pattern it behaves as expected. This is probably the reason this hasn't been picked up earlier as generally the "?" wildcard is not used at the end of a route pattern as it introduces an interdigit timeout.

This seems to be the case in Cisco CallManager right up to 4.0(1).

I have submitted a bug (CSCef00199) relating to this issue, you can refer to this for information and resolution. Note that in the mean time there is a simple workaround for this issue.
