Using Subnames with Codec Policies

Media profiles are defined and referenced in the ACLI by a name and subname in the following format

<name>::<subname>

If no subname has been created for a media profile, you may continue using the media profile name without any subname specifier.

For example, to remove a media profile and subname configured as PCMU::customer1 from all SDP entering the egress realm, you would configure the codec policy allow-codecs parameter as follows:

allow-codecs PCMU::customer1:no

media-profile subtype Configuration Restrictions

media-profiles are subject to stringent configuration restrictions. You must avoid creating a media-profile with configured subtype parameter that does not substantively differ (in all additional parameters) from the default (unconfigured) media profile. An example of an invalid configuration is media-profile > name of g729, and a media-profile > subname of g729, with no additional parameter configurations other than the default values. Such configuration can cause unexpected behaviors and must be avoided.
