A. ccm-manager fallback
B. srst mode
C. ccm-manager sccp local
D. call-manager-fallback
Correct Answer: D. call-manager-fallback
Explanation: SRST is an important feature that allows a remote site’s IP telephony to continue functioning in the event of communication loss with CallManager. When SRST is enabled on the local voice gateway and IP phones lose connectivity with CallManager, they will register with the local voice gateway, which will provide basic telephony functions — like incoming and outgoing calls, hold and forward — until the primary link to CallManager is restored.
