SIP Options Ping and session server-group on dial-peer

[aalejo]

Hi

Does someone have configured SIP options ping on a dial-peer that uses session server-group?

How server keep track of each individual ip address on the server-group on the dial peer?

In Brief, these two commands on the dial peer:

session server-group <group number>

voice class sip options ping

Hi Adarsh

That's the configuration i use but that's when you use a dial-peer session pointing to a single endpoint and not a server group.

Here's what works for me.

I create a server group class

voice class server-group 1
 ipv4 1.1.1.1 preference 1
 ipv4 2.2.2.2 preference 2
!

I then create an empty sip options class

voice class sip-options-keepalive 1
 description Server Group SIP OPTIONS PING (Intentionally Left Blank)
!

Finally, I apply the server group and options classes to my dial-peer

dial-peer voice 1 voip
 session server-group 1
 voice-class sip options-keepalive profile 1
 ...other dial-peer commands here...
!

You can use the following command to view the status of the dial-peer as a whole

show dial-peer voice summary

You can use the following command to view the status of each server in the server group

show voice class sip-options-keepalive 1

Hello Anthony,

Do you need to have enabled the Ping Options on the SIP profile of the SIP trunk, if the other side of the dial peer is a CUCM ?

Thanks in advance,

George

[Anthony Holloway]

No, you do not. They are separate.

Thanks for the feedback, I ‘ll give it a try

Curious if this ended up working for you. Going through something similar as well, and unsure if I need to creat a SIP profile to insert into the voice class options ping.

Thanks
