I took a look at this - I think gsmefr may be a codec that is
automatically assigned to an unknown codec.  It looked like there were
some cases of codec transparent and video calls that invoked this
behavior.  If it's not causing problems I wouldn't worry about it.  If
you paste what the INVITE and SDP look like, we can take a look to see
if it's unusual in any matter.

Yes that what I thought too... the call hits a dial-peer without any
configured codec class, so should be using g729 I don't know why it is
using this strange codec...plus really the call is working and I am sure
that the other system is g711ualaw only "IPCC enterprise" and the
dial-peer is configured to force it too.

Cisco SE says that this behavior is unique to ISR G2 "2900 and 3900" and
really I still don't understand that.

Highly doubtful.  I can't say with any certainty that it makes sense for
one leg to be gsmefr in a normal scenario.  Is this a codec you use in
your environment?

Without seeing the dial peers that have been hit, it's really hard to
say what's going on.

To be absolutely clear - the only way a CUBE will change the codec on
one leg of a call to another is if transcoding is configured.  The
transcoding must be configured in a CME style, or it will not happen.
CUBE does not reserve DSPs.

Hello;

 

I have a strange behavior from a 3945 router acting as a CUBE for SIP
leg from CUCM cluster to a ITSP using H323 "pretty old way I know" the
call works normally for incoming and outgoing but I am facing a problem
in dialing my numbers from the VOIP line "that is going out and in again
on the same line"

My specific question here when I show voice call active voice I found
one leg of the call as gsmefr and the other leg is g711ulaw and I did
not configure any transcoding resources any where...I have been told by
a Cisco SE that the router may assign "some" DSPs for that
transcoding...is that possible without I configure it for the CUBE to
use??
