Configuring Local Route Group Names

D.

In Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), local route groups are used to simplify the dial plan by grouping similar route patterns together. When a call is placed, CUCM uses the configured route groups to determine the optimal path for the call.

To configure local route groups in CUCM, an engineer would typically follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the CUCM web interface and log in with administrative credentials.
2. Click on the "Call Routing" menu, and then select "Route/Hunt" > "Route Group".
3. Click the "Add New" button to create a new route group.
4. Give the route group a descriptive name that indicates the purpose of the group (e.g., "Local PSTN", "Long Distance", "International").
5. Select the devices that should be included in the route group. These devices can be gateways, trunks, or other CUCM nodes that can route calls to the desired destinations.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for each additional route group that is needed.

Once the local route groups have been configured, the engineer must assign them to route patterns or route lists. The answer to the question is D. Route lists.

A route list is a list of prioritized route groups that are used to determine the best path for a call. When a call is placed, CUCM looks for a matching route pattern in the dial plan. If a match is found, CUCM checks the route list associated with that pattern to determine the best route group to use for the call.

To assign a local route group to a route list, an engineer would typically follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the CUCM web interface and log in with administrative credentials.
2. Click on the "Call Routing" menu, and then select "Route/Hunt" > "Route List".
3. Click the "Add New" button to create a new route list.
4. Give the route list a descriptive name that indicates the purpose of the list (e.g., "Local Routes", "Long Distance Routes", "International Routes").
5. Select the route groups that should be included in the route list, and arrange them in the desired order of priority.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for each additional route list that is needed.

Once the route lists have been configured and assigned to the appropriate route patterns, CUCM will use them to determine the best path for each call based on the destination and the available routes.
