This document describ es how to configure Cisco Unified Survivab le Remote Site Telephony (SRST) on Cisco IOS routers to provide redundancy to Cisco Skinny Client Protocol (SCCP) Phones. It also describ es how to configure the Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) gateway fallb ack feature.

Basic Cisco Unified SRST Usage Cisco Unified SRST provides CUCM with fallback support for Cisco Unified IP Phones that are attached to a Cisco router on a local network. Cisco Unified SRST enables routers to provide basic call-handling support for Cisco Unified IP Phones when they lose connection to remote primary, secondary and teritiary CUCM servers or when the WAN connection to the main site is down.

MGCP Fallback Usage A Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) gateway can use MGCP gateway fallback configured as an individual feature if H.323 or SIP is configured as a backup service. SRST and MGCP fallback must be configured on the same gateway with Cisco IOS software release 12.2(11)T or later if this single gateway will provide SRST fallback service to phones and MGCP gateway fallback.

MGCP Fallback and SRST Configuration The MGCP gateway fallback feature is activated and configured on the Cisco IOS router. Note that Cisco Unified SRST must be configured within CUCM and within the Cisco IOS Router. When configuring MGCP Fallback and Cisco Unified SRST, you must follow these steps at different locations: 1. Define the SRST reference for phones in CUCM administration 2. Configure the Call Forward Unregistered (CFUR) feature and set the CFUR destination of lines on remote-site phones to the correct public switched telephone network (PSTN) number in CUCM administration to enable reachable remote sites in SRST mode. 3. Enable and configure the MGCP fallback and Cisco Unified SRST features on the IOS gateways. 4. Implement a simplified SRST dial plan on the remote-site-gateways to ensure connectivity for remote-site phones in SRST mode.

How to implement Cisco Unified SRST and MGCP Fallback? - Cisco Support Community The SRST feature in Cisco Unified Communication Manager (CUCM) provides IP Phones with the information needed to find the relative gateway to register with when they lose contact with CUCM servers. SRST Reference Definition: SRST reference comprises the gateway which can provide limited CUCM functionality when all other CUCM Servers for IP Phones are unreachable.

2. SRST Configuration on the Cisco IOS Gateway Follow these steps to configure Cisco Unified SRST on a Cisco IOS gateway at the Remote Site Step1: Enter call-manager-fallback configuration mode to activate SRST Step2: Define the IP address and port to which the SRST service binds Step3: Define the maximum number of DNs to support Step4: Define the maximum number of IP Phones to support Step5: Define the maximum number of numbers allowed per phone type Step6: Define the phone keepalive interval (optional) Note: When Cisco Unified SRST is enabled, Cisco IP Phones in call-manager-fallback configuration mode do not have to be reconfigured because phones retain the same configuration that was used with CUCM. Cisco Unified SRST Configuration Example RemoteSite# configure terminal RemoteSite(config)# call-manager-fallback ! -- call-manager-fallb ack enab les SRST on the IOS router RemoteSite(config-cm-fallback)# ip source-address 172.47.2.1 port 2000 ! -- defining the ip source-address. This ip address will b e supplied as SRST reference IP address. RemoteSite(config-cm-fallback)# max-ephones 3 dual-line ! - defining the SRST phone max-ephones RemoteSite(config-cm-fallback)# max-dn 6 ! - defining the SRST phone max-dn RemoteSite(config-cm-fallback)# limit-dn 7960 2 ! - limit dn to optimize the performance of the system RemoteSite(config-cm-fallback)# keepalive 20 RemoteSite(config-cm-fallback)# end RemoteSite#

3. MGCP- Gateway-Fallback Configuration on the Cisco IOS Gateway To use SRST on an MGCP Gateway, you must configure SRST and MGCP gateway fallback on the same gateway. Follow these steps and configure the MGCP fallback on the Cisco IOS gateway at the Remote Site. Step1: Activate MGCP gateway fallback. Step2: Define the service to fall back to. To enable outbound calls while in SRST mode on an MGCP gateway, you must configure two fallback commands on the MGCP gateway. These two commands allow SRST to assume control over the voice port and over call processing on the MGCP gateway. MGCP Fallback Configuration Example RemoteSite# configure terminal RemoteSite(config)# call-manager fallback-mgcp RemoteSite(config)# application
