Route Group Configuration Settings
A route group allows you to designate the order in which gateways and trunks are selected. It allows you
to prioritize a list of gateways and ports for outgoing trunk selection.
For example, if you use two long-distance carriers, you could add a route group, so long-distance calls
to the less expensive carrier are given priority. Calls route to the more expensive carrier only if the first
trunk is unavailable.
Note For information about configuring the Local Route Group feature, refer to the “Local Route Groups”
chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.
Table 42-1 describes the route group configuration settings. For related procedures, see the “Related
Topics” section on page 42-7.
