Hi all,
I knew "answer-address" point to calling number (ANI) but not sure why "answer-address" keywword was chosen by cisco. Does anybody know why? The only reason I am asking is I wanted to "memorize".
Thanks,

Hi Smallrain,
I don't know the history, but if you just want a mnemonic, here's one.
"If I were a dial-peer and I had an answer-address statement, then I would only *answer* a call if I recognized that the *address* it came from is the whats configured."
A little cheesy, but hey...
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Michael.

Michael,
A good try and I am appreciated it.
Ok, based on your suggestion, I think, "answer-(that)-address" would be a good one to remember.
Thanks again,

Smallrain,
I like how you kept it simple yet elegant :-)

Michael.
