Default Settings

By default the Local Zone and all other configured zones have a

Match 1

configured with a

Mode

of

AlwaysMatch

. All remaining

matches will be set to

Disabled

. This means that (unless you

make any changes) the zone will be queried for the original alias,
with no transforms applied.
The difference between the default settings for each type of
zone is the

Priority

assigned to

Match 1

. The default priorities

are:

Local Zone

: 50

Neighbor

,

Traversal Client

or

Traversal Server zone

: 100

ENUM

or

DNS zone

: 150

This default configuration means that the Local Zone will be
searched first for all aliases. If not found locally, all Neighbor,
Traversal Client and Traversal Server zones will then be
searched, and if they cannot locate the alias the request will be
sent to any DNS and ENUM zones.
You can change the default

Match 1

Mode

and

Priority

and add

additional Matches for all zones, including the Local Zone.

Configuring Zone Searches and Transforms

To configure when a zone will be searched and any transforms
that will be applied before the search request is sent:

Local Zone

VCS Configuration > Local Zone > Matches

.

You will be taken to the

Local Zone Matches

page.

xConfiguration Zones LocalZone Match [1..5

]

External Zones

VCS Configuration > Zones

.

You will be taken to the

Zones

page.

Click on the zone you wish to configure (or

New

to create

and configure a new zone). You will be taken to the

Edit Zone

page.
Scroll down until you get to the

Match1

section.

xConfiguration Zones Zone [1..200] Match [1..5

]

Pattern behavior

(Applies only if the

Mode

is

PatternMatch

.)

Determines if and how the matched part of the
alias will be modified. Options are:

Leave

: the alias will not be modified.

Strip

: the matching prefix or suffix will be

removed from the alias.

Replace

: the matching part of the alias will be

substituted with the text in the

Replace String

.

Pattern type

(Applies only if the

Mode

is

PatternMatch

.)

Determines the way in which the string must
match the alias. Options are:

Exact

: the string must match the alias

character for character.

Prefix

: the string must appear at the beginning

of the alias.

Suffix

: the string must appear at the end of the

alias.

Regex

: the string will be treated as a regular

expression.

Priority

Determines the order in which the zone will be
sent a search request. Zones with priority

1

matches are searched first, followed by priority

2

, and so on. More than one match can be

assigned the same priority; in this case the
matching zones will be queried simultaneously.

Replace string

(Applies only if the

Mode

is

PatternMatch

and

Pattern

Behavior

is

Replace

.)

Specifies the string to be
used as a substitution for the
part of the alias that matched
the pattern.

Pattern string

(Applies only if the

Mode

is

PatternMatch

.)

Specifies the pattern against which the alias is
compared.

Mode

Determines if and when a query will be sent to
this zone. Options are:

AlwaysMatch

: the zone will always be queried.

PatternMatch

: the zone will only be queried

if the alias queried for matches the specified

Pattern String

.

Disabled

: this match is not used. If all 5

matches for a zone are disabled, the zone will
never be queried.
