An engineer must limit off-net phone calls and leverage their IP WAN for calls between offices, but must still provide off-net for local and long distance calls made by the client. Which two actions…
The correct answer is A. Partitions for off-net calls and calling search spaces must be defined and then assigned to the E. Set up AAR to provide redundancy when IP WAN calls fail. Partitions and CSS restrict which users can place off-net calls, while AAR automatically reroutes calls via PSTN when IP WAN paths fail.
Question
An engineer must limit off-net phone calls and leverage their IP WAN for calls between offices, but must still provide off-net for local and long distance calls made by the client. Which two actions must be taken to satisfy this requirement? (Choose two.)
Options
- APartitions for off-net calls and calling search spaces must be defined and then assigned to the
- BDefine route groups and lists to provide redundancy when the available IP WAN bandwidth is
- CSet up AAR to route all off-net calls to the PSTN.
- DSet up AAR in case there is not enough bandwidth to support additional IP WAN calls.
- ESet up AAR to provide redundancy when IP WAN calls fail.

Why each option
Partitions and CSS restrict which users can place off-net calls, while AAR automatically reroutes calls via PSTN when IP WAN paths fail.
Defining partitions that contain off-net route patterns and assigning those partitions to calling search spaces on specific phones controls exactly which endpoints are authorized to place local and long-distance PSTN calls, directly satisfying the requirement to limit off-net access.
Route groups and lists provide outbound path redundancy but do not restrict which users can make off-net calls or handle WAN failure fallback independently.
Configuring AAR to route all off-net calls to the PSTN would completely bypass the IP WAN, directly contradicting the requirement to leverage the WAN for inter-office calls.
AAR does not trigger based on available bandwidth thresholds - it activates when an IP WAN call attempt fails, making this description of AAR's function inaccurate.
Automated Alternate Routing reroutes IP WAN calls over the PSTN when the WAN path fails, ensuring users can still complete off-net calls for local and long distance without requiring manual intervention.
