Searching for Routes

You can search for routes in a route set by pub-id, SED, and other properties. You can use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard for a partial substring match and the question mark (?) for character match for all the property fields except SED and formula.

1. Expand the Route Manager slider, and click Route sets.
2. In the Route sets tab, select the locked route set on which you want to search for routes and click Manage Routes.
3. In the Route Set Edit tab, click Search.
4. In the Route Search dialog box, complete the following fields for your search criteria:

   Name	Description
   pub-id field	Enter the public identifier you want to use as search criteria.
   Session Establishment Data (SED) field	Enter the SED you want to use as search criteria.
   Advanced menu	Click the arrow icon to expand the following Pub ID and SED search criteria property entries to search by way of their corresponding CSV file column number: NPA ($NPA), NXX ($NXX), PUser1 and PUser2 fields—The numerical entry that has the alphanumeric value that has a user-specific definable meaning that can be used in the formula to generate the Pub-Id for a route record. It can also be used for aggregating route records into groups. Once defined, use of this field must be consistent within the route set. Pub-id Formula—The alphanumeric string that contains an expression used to define string concatenation and text replacement to generate the Pub Id for a route record. Note: If you enter a Pub-id Formula, the pub id field is disabled. Destination Group—The numerical entry that is used as the group of public identifiers that have an object in common. That object stores information that can be used to select a subset of the route set for an operation, for example for global replacement. Next Hop ($NEXTHOP)—The numerical entry for the IP address, FQDN, session agent name, or session agent group name that can be used in the formula to generate the SED for a route record. Trunk Group ($TRUNKGROUP)—The numerical entry for the alphanumeric string that can be used in the formula to generate the SED for a route record. Trunk Context ($TRUNKCONTEXT)—The numerical entry for the alphanumeric string that can be used in the formula to generate the SED for a route record. Routing Number ($RN)—The numerical entry for the telephone number or prefix that can be used in the formula to generate the SED for a route record. Carrier Identification Code ($CIC)—The numerical entry for the numeric value used in the formula to generate the SED for a route record. User 1 through User 5 —The numerical entry for the alphanumeric value with a user-specific definable meaning that can be used in the formula to generate the SED for a route record. It can also be used for aggregating route records into groups. Once defined, use of this field must be consistent within the route set.
