Configuring Voice-over-IP
Checking Dial Peer Configuration
If you configured POTS dial peers on your router by following these examples, you can place calls
between telephones connected to the same router. You can also use the
show dial-peer voice
command
to verify that the data you configured is correct.
Note
If the voice port is offline, use the interface configuration
no shutdown
command to enable it.
Calling Between Routers
To enable the
West
and
East
offices to send voice traffic to each other over the same IP network they use
for data traffic, use a WIC on each router to provide a connection to the IP network, as shown in
Figure 15
.
Figure 15
IP Connection Between Routers
Look at the connection between the
West
router and the IP network. This connection does not include a
voice port or an attached telephone—it leads from a WAN interface to a remote destination somewhere
on the IP network. IP routers know how to locate IP addresses on the network, but they do not know how
to locate telephone numbers. To route an outgoing voice call over this connection, the
West
router has to
associate a telephone number in the
East
office with the IP address of the
East
router.
Table 9
assigns a dial-peer tag to each telephone number and its associated IP address on the
West
router.
This type of dial peer is called a
remote dial peer
or
VoIP dial peer
. (Remember, the dial-peer tags are
arbitrary.) The term
VoIP
means that the dial peer associates a telephone number with an IP address.
Create a VoIP dial peer on the
West
router for every telephone on the
East
router, all associated with the
same IP address. But it is much easier to use periods as wildcards, as shown in
Table 10
.
