Copy SIP Header Fields to Another

Copy From an Incoming Header and Modifying an Outgoing Header

To copy content from an incoming header that a device receives to an outgoing header, configure a SIP copylist for that header and apply it to an incoming dial peer. A SIP profile is configured to copy this incoming header to a user-defined variable and apply it to an outgoing header.

  2. configure terminal
  3. voice class sip-copylist tag

Step 8

exit

Exits to global configuration mode.

Step 9

voice class sip-profiles profile-id

Example:


Device(config)# voice class sip-profiles 10

Create a SIP Profile and enters voice class configuration mode.

Step 10

{request | response} message peer-header sip header-to-copy copy header-value-to-match copy-variable

Example:

Device(config-class)# request INVITE peer-header sip TO copy "sip:(.*)@" u01
Copies headers from the corresponding incoming dial peer into a copy variable.

Step 11

{request | response} message {sip-header | sdp-header} header-to-modify modify header-value-to-match header-value-to-replace

Example:

Device(config-class)# request INVITE sip-header SIP-Req-URI modify ".*@(.*)" "INVITE sip:\u01@\1"
Modifies an outgoing SIP or SDP header using the copy variable defined in the previous step.

Step 12

exit

Exits to global configuration mode.

Step 13

dial-peer voice outbound-dial-peer-tag voip

Example:

Device(config)# dial-peer voice 2 voip

Enters the dial peer configuration mode for the specified outbond dial peer.

Step 14

voice-class sip-profiles profile-id

Example:


Device(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip-profiles 10

SIP Profile is applied to the dial-peer.

Step 15

exit

Exits to global configuration mode.

Step 6

end

Example:


Device(config-class)# end

Exits voice class configuration mode and enters privileged EXEC mode.

What to do next

Apply the SIP Profile to an outbound dial peer.

Example: Copying the To Header into the SIP-Req-URI

Copying Contents from One Header to Another

Given below is a scenario in an organization, where the provider has sent only a global reference number in the SIP-Req-URI header of the INVITE message, and has placed the actual phone destination number only in the To: SIP header. The CUCM typically routes on the SIP-Req-URI.



Given below is the original SIP message, where the INVITE has a non-routable value of 43565432A5. The actual phone destination number is 25555552 and is present in the To: SIP header.

Figure 1. Incoming SIP Message


Given below is the SIP message that is required. Note that 43565432A5 has changed to 25555552 in the SIP INVITE.

Figure 2. Modified SIP Message


Because CUBE is a back-to-back user agent, the incoming dial peer is matched to the outgoing dial peer. The SIP Profile configured below copies the value from the incoming dial peer 


Device# voice class sip-profiles 1

!Copy the To header from the incoming dial peer into variable u01
Device(config-class)# request INVITE peer-header sip TO copy “sip:(.*)@” u01

!Modify the outgoing SIP Invite with this variable.  
Device(config-class)# request INVITE sip-header SIP-Req-URI modify “.*@(.*)” “INVITE sip:\u01@\1″

Apply the SIP profile to the incoming dial peer. 

    
Device(config)# dial-peer voice 99 voip
Device(config-dial-peer)# outgoing to CUCM
Device(config-dial-peer)# destination-pattern 02555555.
Device(config-dial-peer)# session protocol sipv2
Device(config-dial-peer)# session target ipv4:10.1.2.3

!Applying SIP profile to the dial peer
Device(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip profiles 1
Device(config-dial-peer)# voice-class code 1
Device(config-dial-peer)# dtmf-relay rtp-nte
Device(config-dial-peer)# no vad

Additionally, if you would like to copy the To: Header from the inbound dial peer to the outbound dial peer, use a copy list. 


!Create a copy List
Device(config)# voice class sip-copylist 1
Device(config-class)# sip-header TO
Device(config-class)# exit

!Apply the copy list to incoming dial peer.
Device(config)# dial-peer voice 1 voip
Device(config-dial-peer)# description incoming SIP Trunk
Device(config-dial-peer)# session protocol sipv2
Device(config-dial-peer)# session target sip-server
Device(config-dial-peer)# incoming uri to TRUNK
Device(config-dial-peer)# voice-class code 1
Device(config-dial-peer)# voice-class sip copy-list 1

Device(config)# voice class uri TRUNK sip
Device(config-class)# user-id 2555555.
Device(config-class)# end
