[cisco-voip] CCM/CUCM Route Filters

[Ryan Ratliff]

CUCM 7.x will allow you to export and import anything in CCMAdmin via BAT.
Other than that you are looking at AXL to do your database inserts, etc.

Subject: [cisco-voip] CCM/CUCM Route Filters

Problem: Customer wants to do TBP least cost routing tail hop-off out of the
best sites (wherever they can place a local call that has no toll nor LD
charges).

Problem: Customer wants to limit some phones to truly local (no toll, no
LD) calls, and not call anything within the area code (7 digit) that isn't
local.

Problem: Some area codes *require* 10 digit dialing if it is local, or
11 digit dialing if is it LD, but we don't want to just give users direct
access to DT with the press of a line or a 9, so we have to know how to dial
each Area Code / Prefix (Office Code in CCM Route Filter speak).

For all, the solution is to enter in Rate Center info via Route Filters and
create Route Lists (with digit manipulation) / Route Patterns pointing at
the right Gateways to use these.

In smaller Rate Centers, this isn't that much work.  In large metro areas,
these are pages and pages of numbers, requiring dozens of Route Filters to
create.  The interface to add clauses to a Route Filter is slow and
cumbersome.  Worst of all, once you enter in a huge Rate Center for a
customer, there isn't a way to save that work for another
cluster/install/customer.

Or is there?  That's my question to all of you - is there a better way to
create Route Filters or deal with these problems?  Is there a way to export
the Route Filter data so that it could be imported into another cluster?  If
so, then could the Route Filters be created in an automated fashion so they
could be imported as needed?

I don't care about copying Route List / Route Patterns / Gateways, as this
is almost always going to have to be customized, and isn't that much work.

Thanks in advance,
Jason Roysdon.

BTW, if you need to look up Rate Center info, try this site:

There are other places sell the info in bulk monthly updates as well, such
as a product called Area Code World.
