Parameter  Description 
Alternative Route Options 
alt-route-options 
[IP2IPRouting_AltRouteOption
s] 
Determines whether this routing rule is the main routing rule or an 
alternative routing rule (to the rule defined directly above it in the 
table). 
  [0] Route Row = (Default) Main routing rule - the device first 
attempts to route the call to this route if the incoming SIP dialog's 
input characteristics matches this rule. 
  [1] Alternative Route Ignore Inputs = If the call cannot be routed 
to the main ro
ute (Route Row), the call is routed to this alternative 
route regardless of the incoming SIP dialog's input 
characteristics. 
  [2] Alternative Route Consider Inputs = If the call cannot be 
routed to the main route (Route Row), the call is routed to this 
alternative route only if the incoming SIP dialog matches this 
routing rule's input characteristics. 
  [3] Group Member Ignore Inputs = This routing rule is a member 
of the Forking routing rule. The incoming call is also forked to the 
destination of this routing rule. The matching input characteristics 
of the routing rule are ignored. 
  [4] Group Member Consider Inputs = This routing rule is a 
member of the Forking routing rule. The incoming call is also 
forked to the destination of this routing rule only if the incoming 
call matches this rule's input characteristics. 
Note:  
  The alternative routing entry ([1] or [2]) must be defined in the 
next consecutive table entry index to the Route Row entry (i.e., 
directly below it). For example, if Index 4 is configured as a Route 
Row, Index 5 must be configured as the alternative route. 
  The Forking Group members must be configured in a table row 
that is immediately below the main Forking routing rule, or below 
an alternative routing rule for the main rule, if configured. 
  For IP-to-IP alternative routing, configure alternative routing 
reasons upon receipt of 4xx, 5xx, and 6xx SIP responses (see 
''Configuring SIP Response Codes for Alternative Routing 
Reasons'' on page 703
). However, if no response, ICMP, or a 
408 response is received, the device attempts to use the 
alternative route even if no entries are configured in the 
Alternative Routing Reasons table. 
  Multiple alternative route entries can be configured (e.g., Index 1 
is the main route - Route Row - and indices 2 through 4 are 
configured as alternative routes). 
Match 
Source IP Group 
src-ip-group-name 
[IP2IPRouting_SrcIPGroupNa
me] 
Defines the IP Group from where the IP call is received (i.e., the IP 
Group that sent the SIP dialog). Typically, the IP Group of an 
incoming SIP dialog is determined (or classified) using the 
Classification table (see ''Configuring Classification Rules'' on page 
677).  
The default is Any (i.e., any IP Group). 
Note: The selectable IP Group for the parameter depends on the 
assigned Routing Policy (in the 'Routing Policy' parameter in this 
table). For more information, see ''Configuring SBC Routing Policy 
Rules'' on page 705.
