Configuring Static Routes
Configure a static route for SIP proxy server traffic. A dynamic route represents a path through the
network that automatically get calculated according to routing protocols and routing update messages.
A static route represents a fixed path through the network that you explicitly configure.
Static routes take precedence over dynamic routes.
Procedure
Step 1
Perform one of the following actions:
If you want to:
Action
Add a static route
a.
Select Presence > Routing> Static Routes.
b.
Click Add New.
a.
Find the record as described in “Finding
Static Routes” section on page 17-3.
b.
Edit the record as required.
Update a server
Step 2
Enter the static route configuration settings as described in Table 17-1.

Field
Description
Destination Pattern
This field specifies the pattern of the incoming number, up to a
maximum of 255 characters.
Note
The SIP proxy allows only 100 static routes to have an identical
route pattern. If you exceed this limit, Cisco Unified Presence
will log an error.
You can use “.” as a wildcard for a single character and “*” as a wildcard
for multiple characters.
You can also use a dash or hyphen, “-” anywhere in the pattern.
Wildcard Usage
For phones
•
A dot can exist anywhere in the pattern.
•
An asterisk can only exist at the end.
For IP addresses and host names
•
You can use an asterisk as part of the a host name.
•
The dot acts as a literal value in a host name.
An escaped asterisk sequence, \*, matches a literal * and can exist
anywhere.
Description
Specifies the description of a particular static route, up to a maximum of
255 characters.
Next Hop
Specifies the domain name or IP address of the destination (next hop)
and can be either a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or dotted IP
address.
Note
Next Hop Port
Cisco Unified Presence supports DNS SRV-based call routing.
To specify DNS SRV as the next hop for a static route, set this
parameter to the DNS SRV name.
Specifies the port number of the destination (next hop).
Default: 5060
Note
Route Type
Cisco Unified Presence supports DNS SRV-based call routing.
To specify DNS SRV as the next hop for a static route, set the
next hop port parameter to 0.
Specifies the route type: User or Domain.
Default setting: User
Protocol Type
Specifies the protocol type for this route, TCP, UDP, or TLS.
Default setting: TCP
Priority
Specifies the route priority level. Lower values indicate higher priority.
Value range: 1—65535
Default setting: 1

Field
Description
Weight
Specifies the route weight. Use this parameter only if two or more routes
have the same priority. Higher values indicate which route has the higher
priority.
Value range: 1—65535
Example: Consider these three routes with associated priorities and
weights:
•
1, 20
•
1, 10
•
2, 50
In this example, the static routes are listed in the correct order. The
priority route is based on the lowest value priority, that is 1. Given that
two routes share the same priority, the weight parameter with the highest
value decides the priority route, in this instance, 1, 20.
Allow Less-Specific Route
Specifies that the route can be less specific.
Default setting: On
In Service
Specifies whether this route has been taken out of service.
Note
Block Route Check Box
This parameter allows the administrator to effectively take a
route out of service (versus removing it completely and
re-adding it).
Check to block the route.
Default value: Unblocked
Step 3
Complete one of the following actions to save the data:
a.
Click the Save icon that displays in the tool bar in the upper, left corner of the window.
b.
Click Save at the bottom of the window.
