The global servers object allows you to configure ENUM and E911 servers as well as DNS global settingsglobal DNS, call recording criteria and SRS Group Profile configurations. The 'servers' object includes global configurations for DNS servers used for SIP NAPTR, SRV, and A-record lookups.
When the ERE receives multiple records with the same order value and preference for a NAPTR query, the ERE considers only the first record received to resolve the route. If it does not find a route for the chosen record, it returns a 'no route found' response, and will not consider other records to resolve the route.
However, in the case where the order value and preference are different for the received records, the record chosen to resolve the route is based on the RFC rule. In this scenario, if the ERE/PSX does not find the route for the chosen record, it returns a 'no route found' response, and will not consider other records to resolve the route.
The ENUM server returns a NAPTR response with an IP address to the SBC. To route a call to the IP Peer associated with this IP address, ensure the following is provisioned in ERE.
- Configure a SIP Domain with the IP address of the IP Peer.
- Create an IP Peer using the IP address above, and associate this IP peer to a routing label.
- Configure a Username Routing entry using SIP Domain from step 1, and attach the routing label created in step 2.
The SBC supports load balancing across ENUM servers for individual ENUM zones using enumDomainName, lwresdProfile and enumDomainNameLabel parameters described in this section. ENUM client routes the query to ENUM servers based on the load balancing scheme configured for that zone. ENUM client uses the following load balancing schemes to route the requests to ENUM servers. For details, refer to ENUM Support.

Global ENUM Service
To support ENUM services for SBC in ERE mode, manually create an ACL rule towards ENUM server to allow the packets (ENUM responses) from ENUM server into SBC. See the CLI example below.
| Note |

|
Set fillRate to a higher value (for example, fillRate = 2000) to support high ENUM call loads (more than 20 cps). Refer to IP Access Control List - Cloud - CLI for configuration details. |

| flags | | activeprocessCallingNumber –Enable this flag to analyze the calling number using prefix profile. When this flag is disabled, the calling number is not analyzed and hence if it has +CC, the same is sent as-is to SBC in the calling number field in policy response.processNewANI – When this flag is enabled for ENUM AoR service, and ENUM AoR response contains "newani=<some_number>" parameter in NAPTR record, the ERE overwrites the existing calling number of the call with the newANI number. When this flag is disabled, any newANIparameters received in NAPTR response are ignored in PES.
| priority | 129-140 | Specifies the priority (order) of ENUM service execution. If this parameter is not set or set to the default of '129', default priorities are assigned for LNP (130), CNAM (131) and SIP AoR (132). If a different order of service execution is desired, set the priorities accordingly. For example, setting CNAM priority to 133 executes SIP AoR before CNAM. | requestTimeOut | 0-2147483647 | Request timeout value, in milliseconds. (default = 2000) | serviceType | N/A | Use this parameter to specify the ENUM service type. Options are: cnam
