Grouping the NAPs

6. Advanced Routing Advanced Routing

Sometimes we need to configure more NAPs for the same destination. And each NAP must be added on the routing table. For Example;

SIP Trunk provider uses 10 IP addresses. For this case, we need to create all IP addresses with different NAPs and if we want to send a call to those NAPs we need to create a routing table for each of them.

This filter is used to dynamically generate routes from a Regex.

Procedure:

  1. Upload the script to your SBC
  2. Edit your main script (ex. simple_routing.rb) and add what is below (it’s like adding nap_group_weight_load_balancer to a script)
    a. require ‘multiple_naps’
    b. include MultipleNaps
    c. before_filter :method => :multiple_naps
  3. Create a new custom column
  4. “additional_naps”, type “text”
  5. In your routes, add a regex in the new column which will match the additional NAPs you want
  6. /GROUPA_.*/

The trick is to use the NAP names to identify which NAPs are in the same group. The example in the file talk about “SIP_." but I would use instead "/GROUPA_./”.

For example:
GROUPA_SIP_NAP_10_10_10_10
GROUPA_SIP_NAP_10_10_10_11
GROUPA_SIP_NAP_10_10_10_12
GROUPB_SIP_NAP_10_10_20_20
GROUPB_SIP_NAP_10_10_20_21
GROUPC_SIP_NAP_10_10_30_30

Then, in your routes, you can use the Route Column “additional_naps” to put /GROUPA_.*/
