This example extends the example in Source-Based Routing. In this case, an administrator wants to define a failover route that can be used in case the Dallas-GW1 is brought down for maintenance, or is unavailable. The following tables illustrate the required configuration change.
Table 1. User Policy
User policy | Phone usage |
---|---|
Default Calling Policy |
Local GlobalPSTNHopoff |
Redmond Local Policy |
RedmondLocal |
Dallas Calling Policy |
DallasUsers GlobalPSTNHopoff |
Table 2. Routes
Route name | Number pattern | Phone usage | Gateway |
---|---|---|---|
Redmond Local Route |
^\+1(425|206|253)(\d{7})$ |
Local RedmondLocal |
Red-GW1 Red-GW2 |
Dallas Local Route |
^\+1(972|214|469)(\d{7})$ |
Local |
Dallas-GW1 |
Universal Route |
^\+?(\d*)$ |
GlobalPSTNHopoff |
Red-GW1 Red-GW2 Dallas-GW1 |
Dallas Users Route |
^\+?(\d*)$ |
DallasUsers |
Dallas-GW1 |
In the previous example, a phone usage of GlobalPSTNHopoff is added after the DallasUsers phone usage in the Dallas Calling Policy.
This enables calls with the Dallas Calling policy to use routes that are configured for the GlobalPSTNHopoff phone usage if a route for the DallasUsers phone usage is unavailable.
