A company is implementing Built-in-Bridge (BiB) for call recording on their Cisco IP Phones. For compliance reasons, they must ensure that all calls made by the sales team are automatically recorded. Which configuration object in CUCM is directly associated with a directory number to invoke the BiB recording feature?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
A Recording Profile is the CUCM configuration object that links a directory number to the call recording system. The profile specifies the recording destination (a route pattern pointing to the recording server) and the Calling Search Space to be used for recording calls. This profile is then applied directly to the Directory Number configuration page for the users who need to be recorded.

Case Study:
A logistics company, GlobaLink, has its headquarters in Chicago with a large UCM cluster and a primary data center. They have a branch office in Denver with 50 users. The Denver office is connected to Chicago via a 1.544 Mbps MPLS WAN link. All PSTN access is centralized through the Chicago data center via a CUBE connected to a SIP trunk provider.
During a recent network event, the MPLS link to Denver became saturated with data traffic, causing severe degradation of voice quality for calls between Denver and Chicago, as well as for PSTN calls made from Denver. While the WAN link was congested but not down, users reported that calls would connect but were unusable due to choppiness and delay. GlobaLink wants to implement a solution that prevents new calls from being established over the WAN when there is insufficient bandwidth, thereby preserving the quality of active calls.
Requirements:
- Prevent new voice calls from being established over the WAN link from Denver to Chicago if bandwidth is not available.
- The solution must not rely on RSVP.
- The solution should be managed and enforced by the Chicago UCM cluster.
- During a WAN bandwidth shortage, calls within the Denver office must still function correctly.
Which solution best meets GlobaLink's requirements?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
This scenario is the classic use case for UCM's native Location-Based Call Admission Control (CAC). By creating separate locations for Chicago and Denver and defining a specific bandwidth limit for audio (and video, if applicable) calls between them, UCM will track the number of active calls over the WAN. Once the allocated bandwidth is consumed, UCM will prevent any new calls from being established across that link, returning a busy signal to the user. This meets all requirements: it's managed by UCM, doesn't use RSVP, prevents new calls during congestion, and allows intra-site calls (which are assigned to the 'Unlimited' bandwidth pool within the same location) to proceed normally. QoS is a complementary technology but does not prevent oversubscription; it only prioritizes traffic during congestion.

When troubleshooting media establishment in a SIP call, an engineer notices that one-way audio is occurring. The SDP in the 200 OK message from the called party contains
c=IN IP4 192.168.10.50. However, a packet capture shows that the calling party is sending RTP packets to a different IP address. What SIP header in the 200 OK message most likely contains the IP address where the RTP stream is actually being sent?Show answer details
Correct answer: C
While the
c=line in the SDP indicates the address for media, it can be overridden by the IP address in theContactheader if they differ, especially in environments with NAT or a Session Border Controller. TheContactheader provides the direct address for future requests within the dialog, including where to send RTP. TheViaandRecord-Routeheaders are used for signaling path routing, not for media destination. - 4
A CUBE is configured with a voice translation-rule to prepend '91' to all 10-digit called numbers for international dialing. The rule is part of a translation-profile which is applied to an outbound dial-peer. The administrator notices the rule is not being applied. What is a common reason for a translation-profile to fail to apply on a dial-peer?
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
Voice translation-profiles must be applied to the correct call leg direction. If the goal is to modify the called number as it leaves the CUBE, the profile must be applied for
outgoingcalls on the outbound dial-peer (e.g.,voice-class translation-profile MyProfile outgoing). A very common mistake is to apply it to theincomingdirection or to forget to specify the direction, which can lead to the rule not being triggered as expected. - 5
True or False: The SIPREC protocol is used exclusively for forking the signaling path of a SIP call to a recording server, while the media path is forked using a separate mechanism like SPAN.
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
This statement is False. SIPREC (Session Recording Protocol) is a comprehensive protocol based on SIP that manages the entire recording session. A key feature of SIPREC is that the Session Recording Client (like a CUBE) establishes a recording session with the Session Recording Server and forks both the call metadata (signaling information) and the real-time media streams (RTP) to the server. It does not rely on a separate mechanism for media forking.

An engineer is configuring a globalized dial plan in UCM. A transformation pattern is created to convert a 7-digit dialed number into a full E.164 number. The transformation pattern is placed in a partition called
Trans_PTand this partition is assigned to a Calling Search Space calledTrans_CSS. Where must thisTrans_CSSbe applied to ensure the called number is transformed before the call is routed?Show answer details
Correct answer: B
Called Party Transformation Patterns are applied at the routing device level. The transformation CSS (
Trans_CSS) must be applied to the configuration of the device that is routing the call, such as a gateway or a trunk. For route patterns, this is done by assigning the transformation CSS to the 'Called Party Transformation CSS' field within the route pattern itself. This ensures that before CUCM attempts to send the call to the destination specified in the route pattern, it first applies the transformation. - 7
A collaboration engineer is configuring time-of-day routing for a main office number. The goal is for calls between 9 AM and 5 PM on weekdays to route to the main receptionist hunt group, and all other calls (after hours and weekends) to route to an auto-attendant. Which UCM configuration construct is used to define the '9 AM to 5 PM, Monday-Friday' schedule?
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
Time-of-day routing in UCM uses a hierarchical structure. First, you define
Time Periods(e.g., 9 AM to 5 PM). Then, you group theseTime Periodsinto aTime Scheduleand associate them with specific days of the week (e.g., Monday-Friday). Finally, thisTime Scheduleis applied to a partition, which is then placed in a time-aware Calling Search Space to control routing. - 8
A financial services company is deploying Cisco Unified Mobility (Single Number Reach) for its executives. A key security requirement is that when an executive rejects a call on their mobile device, the call must immediately stop ringing on their desk phone and proceed to the corporate voicemail. Which setting is essential to configure on the Remote Destination Profile to meet this requirement?
Show answer details
Correct answer: D
The key to this functionality is enabling the 'Advertised to mobile phone' option for the Voicemail Calling Party Transformation CSS within the Remote Destination Profile. This feature, often called 'Reverse MWI' or similar, allows the mobile network to signal back to CUCM when a call is rejected or sent to the mobile voicemail, which in turn allows CUCM to redirect the call immediately to the corporate voicemail system. The other options are related to different aspects of Unified Mobility but do not control this specific call rejection behavior.

A unified communications engineer is troubleshooting a new SIP trunk on a Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) connecting to a cloud provider. The provider requires the P-Asserted-Identity (PAI) header to be present for call authentication, but the Cisco UCM does not send it by default. The engineer decides to use a SIP Profile to add the PAI header. Which SIP Profile configuration snippet correctly copies the 'From' header URI to a new PAI header?
Show answer details
Correct answer: D
The correct syntax to copy the URI from the 'From' header to a new P-Asserted-Identity header is
request INVITE sip-header P-Asserted-Identity add "P-Asserted-Identity: ". The special token@@is a variable that represents the URI from the From/To header (depending on context). The other options use incorrect syntax or commands.uas-headerandheader-passingare not the correct keywords for adding a new header based on an existing one, and the first option attempts to add a literal string rather than copying the dynamic value. - 10
A hospital is implementing Extension Mobility across multiple UCM clusters located in different cities using EMCC. A doctor logs into a phone in City B, which is managed by Cluster B. The doctor's home cluster is Cluster A in City A. When the doctor makes an emergency PSTN call, which Calling Search Space (CSS) is used to route the call, and from which device pool is the media resource for Music On Hold (MOH) allocated?
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
In an EMCC environment, call routing logic (CSS) is taken from the user's home cluster configuration, specifically from their User Device Profile. This ensures consistent dialing behavior regardless of location. However, media resources like MOH, conference bridges, and transcoders are allocated from the device pool of the visiting phone to ensure media stays as local as possible and to conserve WAN bandwidth.
