9-16 FRX8000 3.0 User Guide, Rev 02The following figure shows an example of wildcard addressing.Figure 10-5 Wildcard Addressing ExampleSubscriber records configured for this example are:l Subscriber ID 00100, with Node 1, LP 2, port 1 specified as its 1st Routing Path(described in the chapters that deal with specific protocols).l Subscriber ID 123*, with Node 2, LP 0, port 0 specified as 1st Routing Path.If subscriber 00100 sends a Call Request with any of called addresses 12301 through12304,the FRX8000 searches for a match, finds 123*, then routes the packet throughnode 2, and out LP 0, port 0.Search Order for Subscriber AddressesA subscriber address that includes a wildcard potentially matches more addresses thanone with no wildcards. For example, the address * matches all other addresses.Without some kind of check, an address with no wildcards, which is specificallyassigned, could be read as a match for an address with a wildcard, and sent to thewrong place. To avoid this, a search order has been established for performing callrouting:l Addresses with no wildcards will be searched first.l Addresses with only ? wildcards will be checked next.l Addresses with * will be checked last.Within each wildcard group, addresses with the most non-wildcard digits will bechecked first. For example, 311012345678* will be checked before 3110*.L0,P0L0,P1L0,P2L0,P3FRX 8000Node 2L2,P1 0010012301123021230312304FRX 8000Node 1
