[cisco-voip] partitioning system DNs and route patterns...

We have about the same setup as Jason.
We have a legacy Pbx and CUCM, so with all the IP phones in a PT and the pbx phones in another, it solved the issue of looping on my PRIs. All the vm ports and other “anti-user” access are protected in another PT.
Works great.

The way we’re set up is 1 partition for all DN’s, another for voice ports and then ~18 other partitions with translations/route patterns (I designed this on CM 6 so no “local gateways”). We have a completely permissive CSS on the phone itself and a blocking CSS on the lines. If you want me to go into more detail, just let me know.

Organization plus restriction. The one drawback with fewer partitions is that when you allow a user to call a partition, you allow them to call all numbers in that partition (obviously). So if I have two types of system DNs, right now, by keeping them in separate partitions, I can allow someone to call one group without letting them be able to call the other group. Do I need that granularity? Probably not. That's what I'm trying to find out by asking the list. Who knows, it might serve as a template for people who are new to CallManager and can use it as a starting point. I know I wish I had something like that when I started.

With respect to restrictions, it's more for setting expectations. For example, by making voice mail ports not dialable, we don't have to worry about some group on campus creating procedures which include dialing the voice mail ports directly and having to worry about dealing with complaints/issues when we migrate to a new set of voice mail ports when we upgrade. If they were dialable, people could (and would) start dialing the ports directly (for whatever godawful reason).

Looking forward to what others are doing.....

The simpler the better… but what other than organization are you trying to accomplish? Do you need to restrict who can call whom? Do you have overlapping DNs?

I’ve always been partial to putting all DNs in one flat partition and restricting internal/local/LD/Intl calling with the overlapping line and device CSS’s… and if you are running CM7.x I love love love the new local gateway feature – greatly reduces the number of CCSs if you have multiple buildings/offices/locations with multiple PSTN connections.

Agreed. That's why it's something I'd like to migrate to. I'm hoping others who have tried something similar can say either "works for me" or present any gotchas.

I would go with keep it as simple as possible. Otherwise, it will look good now, but in two years it’ll be so messed from all the mistakes that the organization won’t matter.

It's not now, but I wanted to be more descriptive.

Plus, the 1024 character limit is not the only reason, simplifying is also another reason. Right now, we have to think about which partition a system DN belongs to, and even then, mistakes are made because of how the partitions are listed.

Lelio,

How are you running out of characters?  Is your naming convention substantially detailed?

When we first deployed our dial-plan we took a very compartmentalized approach and created different partitions for system DN/Patterns based on their role/use and then assigned the partitions appropriately. Assuming the max chars in PSS still being 1024 characters, I'm re-thinking things and am hoping to get some feedback from the group.
