Intermittent calls dropping, returning fast busy

I am working an issue for Intermittent calls dropping, returning fast busy.

Here is the output of the RTMT log for the issue we see.

You should investigate why the TCP session between the server and the gateway closed, and identify the failure on the network devices between them.

It took me some time to find out this because your CUCM version is not very specific with the messages from the logs, look at this bug to enhance the trace files

CSCsm26355

Symptom:

delayed or failed h323 call setup

Conditions:

CM sends TCP SYN to remote peer for h245 session but does not receive any response.

Workaround:

None.

Further Problem Description:

This is a request for additional debugging to make it clear when h.245 TCP session setup fails.

There are currently no intuitive SDI or alarm messages to indicate this failure. It usually requires SDL traces to identify failure to setup the TCP session.

After upgrade to fixed version the following errors appear in the CM SDI

traces:

h.245 tcp session setup failure:

TCP ERROR: H245ListenReq or H245ConnectReq failure, or received SdlCloseInd from H245Handler, Perform cleanup of H245 Session

established h.245 session experiences TCP keepalive timeout:

TranslateAndTransport(%d)::wait_SdlCloseInd - ERROR: H245 signaling connection aborted

established h.245 session receives unexpected TCP FIN or RST:

TranslateAndTransport(%d)::wait_SdlCloseInd - ERROR: H245 signaling connection aborted

My issue is where to look.

Here is the Topology:

CUCM 7.1 --- 2960 (Pub G0/18 Sub G0/15) --- Core 3750 (G2/0/1) --- Gateway 2851

I verified on all interfaces that there are no errors.  Nothing in the logs to indicate any issues.

Any direction will be appreciated and will receive a rating.

Thanks,

Rick

Ah yes,

this is definitely a PRI - please do a debug isdn q931 instead of the debug VPM (as per my earlier post).  It should give us the direction of the disconnect and the cause code which will help.

Thanks,

Art

Thanks.  Applied pri debug

I have 3 dropped calls from the site.

I stopped the debug and searched through the log and do not see any of the numbers listed in the log that they say were dropped.  How can I track down or debug those type of calls?

Hi Rick,

Assuming that the calls went off-site and that is the only path to the PSTN the calls should have been in the debug.  I've never experienced a debug isdn q931 not catch a call out a PRI before....

The previous VPM debug that you had before indicated they were indeed going out that PRI - not sure what to make of it.

Can you also run a show controller t1 0/1/0 so we can see if there are any errors or slips?

Do you have a firewall between the devices?

No firewall in this topology

Can you post part of the config?  I interested in the voice service voip section.

Here is the config, and I am particularly curious about one of the sections:

Ok. I just finished resolving an issue with a similiar issue and config.  If this is not an IP 2 IP gateway then you need to remove the following statement unless you have another need for them.

allow-connections h323 to h323
allow-connections h323 to sip
allow-connections sip to h323
allow-connections sip to sip

One other thing. What's the processor on the gateway during times of dropped calls. I suspect you'll also notice burst of high call volume in the RTMT as well.

Is this configured as a H323 gateway in Callmanager? Can you post the entire config off the gateway? What is the call volume? How many calls are active at any given time?

***RESOLVED***

the issue with this was found to be a config issue between the call manager and the gateway.  The call manager was set for fast-start and the gateway was set for slow-start.  We added more to the MTP resources and changed the gateway to reflect fast-start and the issue appears to be gone.  Why now?  There was a change, which the customer stated was not done, and there was a large increase in call volume.

Thanks all for your assistance
