Implementing and Operating Cisco Collaboration Core Technologies (CLCOR) — Question 162

A collaboration engineer must optimize the dial plan within Cisco UCM. There are multiple remote sites, and each site has its own route patterns and local gateways. What should the engineer do on the Cisco UCM to optimize the dial plan?

Answer options

• A. Implement ILS with GDPR so the dial plan can dynamically replicate across clusters.
• B. Configure a Standard Local Route Group to use a single route pattern for all calls within the cluster.
• C. Create a centralized dial plan with a Cisco UCM Session Management Edition cluster or a Cisco gatekeeper.
• D. Leverage Cisco UCM Express as SRST so the phones can have more features at each remote site.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because configuring a Standard Local Route Group allows for a unified route pattern that simplifies call management across the cluster, enhancing efficiency. Option A is incorrect as ILS with GDPR does not specifically optimize local route patterns. Option C, while creating a centralized dial plan, may not directly address the optimization of local route patterns for remote sites. Option D focuses on features rather than optimizing the dial plan itself.
