Trunk Groups
Defines a list of Trunks to consider for making a call. The system will attempt will attempt call out to trunks in the order they are defined, and if each one fails, the call will not be completed. It is important to have your Trunks defined before creating a Trunk Group.
Adding a Trunk Group
1) Enter the CLI's configuration mode.
2) Enter the name of the Trunk Group you wish to create. You will be prompted with the minimum required settings.
vbox-markm(config)# trunk_group main_office!! Notice: Editing new item: main_office!! Notice: Minimum requirements needed for insert:!! desc!! capacityvbox-markm(config-trunk-group main_office)# desc "Main Office Trunk Grou"vbox-markm(config-trunk-group main_office)# capacity 20vbox-markm(config-trunk-group main_office)# |
3) Next define the Trunks that the Trunk Group will call out too. We will assume we are using 3 Trunks in this example.
vbox-markm(config-trunk-group main_office)# trunk_pos 1vbox-markm(config-trunk-group main_office pos-1)# trunk_name ### Use Tab to get a list of available trunksAudioCodesFXO1 branch-iax isoft-sr-in-2 pbx-sip-t1-gw2 building_a isoft pbx-sip-t1-gw1 isoft-sr-out-1 Nathan_Test_Trunk isoft-vit-out-1 isoft-sr-in-1trunk-bobvbox-markm(config-trunk-group main_office pos-1)# trunk_name building_avbox-markm(config-trunk-group main_office pos-1)# exit ### Returns to main config options for the trunk groupvbox-markm(config-trunk-group main_office pos-1)# exit forcevbox-markm(config-trunk-group main_office)# show!

4) Next as needed, add additional Trunks to the Trunk Group.

5) Lastly use the show command to ensure your settings have been saved.
vbox-markm(config-trunk-group main_office)# show! Generating running-config!!!! -------------- Trunk Groups ----------------trunk_group main_office callerid passthrough capacity 20 desc "Main Office Trunk Grou" record inherit trunk_pos 1 trunk_name building_a exit trunk_pos 2 trunk_name isoft exit trunk_pos 3 trunk_name Nathan_Test_Trunk exit exitexitvbox-markm(config-trunk-group main_office)# |
