Reject inbound call from specific number

[dudecrush]

I've got a Call Manager 9.1 system, and my voice-gateways are Cisco 2821's. Like a number of other users in previous posts, I have a desire to block/reject inbound calls from a specific number. Based on the posts, I've created my translation rule and profile right on the gateway. This is it below (numbers have been changed to protect the innocent)

voice translation-rule 999
rule 1 reject /5556512042/

voice translation-profile Blacklist
translate calling 999

dial-peer voice 999 voip
call-block translation-profile incoming Blacklist
call-block disconnect-cause incoming call-reject

For whatever reason, though, it doesn't work. Is the problem that I created a specific dial peer? Do I need to apply this to the other dial peers? These are my Gateway's dial peers:

dial-peer voice 100 voip
preference 1
destination-pattern 0......
progress_ind setup enable 3
voice-class codec 1
session target ipv4:172.17.5.9

Where am I making my mistake? Do I need to apply to dial-peers 100, 200 1000001 and 777?

You are correct. You need to apply it to your inbound dial-peers so it takes effect. Right now it's not active.
Take a look at this doc:

Thanks whykap - That's what I figured.

Stupid question - some of these are voip and pots dial peers. Do I need to care if I add the reject profile to one vs. the other, or am I covering my bases by applying the profile to both standard and IP telephony characteristics?

 

[dudecrush]

BTW whykap - thanks for the document...

So I kept the rule (testing using my cell number) and Blacklist profile, and removed dial-peer 999. I then added the Blacklist profile to both the POTS and VOIP dial peers (except peers 120 and 6670), and applied to both of my gateways. Performed a "write mem" and called my desk phone....and it went right on through. Am I missing something? Do I need to reboot/reset the GW's in Call Manager?

 

[whykap]

This is an h323 gateway right? I'm sure you are missing something in your config. If not h323 and you are using another protocol the procedure is different.

 

[dudecrush]

Actually no - it's an MGCP gateway. Duh...should've mentioned that.

The doc link you had didn't specifically mention that it was for H.323 Gateways. Is there a doc for MGCP Gateways? What is the procedure?

I block unwanted incoming calls using just CUCM based upon caller ID.
I don't know if this will help you, but it works great for me.

Well - I figured out my problem....

All my DN's are in the NULL Partition - which are always reachable and thus I cannot block. I'll have to somehow re-design our search spaces and partitions so that there are no DN's in the NULL partition.

I've got 40+ locations - anyone have any good ideas on how to pull together that many locations into a simple CSS / Partition plan?

You might be able to do a batch load. I'm not 100% sure, maybe someone can elaborate?
