URI Dialing for Outgoing Calls
When dialing by URI, the hop count
used is that configured for the DNS
zone that matches the URI address.
If there is no DNS zone configured that
matches the URI address, then the query may
be forwarded to a neighbor. In this case, the
hop count used will be that configured for the
neighbor zone.
Adding and Configuring DNS Zones
In order for locally registered endpoints to
use URI dialing through the VCS, you must
configure at least one DNS zone. To do this:
VCS Configuration > Zones.
You will be taken to the Zones page.
Click New.
You will be taken to the Create Zone page.
Enter a Name for the zone and select a
Type of DNS.
Click Create Zone.
You will be taken to the Edit Zone page.
