Symptom

Problem: Hunting for second line/port is not done by trunkgroup if the first port is down Symptoms: Outgoing calls through the BRI fail due to the highest preference port (as per hunt-scheme) is down. Due to this problem, if the highest preference port is down, the GW will not hunt for next port.

Conditions

1. BRI ports configured on GW. 2. BRI + trungroup configuration. Scenario ======== # Trunk group configured as follows trunkgroup test hunt-scheme sequential both up ! # trunkgroup is now applied on BRI serial interface 0/0/0 and 0/0/1: interface BRI0/0/0 trunk-group test ! interface BRI0/0/1 trunk-group test ! # At this point, if the interface 0/0/1 is shut, then the BRI interface 0/0/0 is not chosen for call routing itself.

Workaround

Tested workarounds ============= 1. Use the following trunkgroup configuration: trunk group LOCAL-PSTN hunt-scheme round-robin both ! This way the GW will always look for a random port for the call to egress. There will be some call-failures but the call will definitely work on redial. 2. Configure separate dial-peers (without using trunk-group): dial-peer voice 1 pots port 0/0/0:0 preference 0 no huntstop ! dial-peer voice 2 pots port 0/0/0:1 preference 1 no huntstop !
