Setting up basic routing for emergency telephone numbers (such as 999 or 911 used in this example) requires that calls to the emergency number be routed to the gateway local to the location of the user. This can be accomplished using the following configuration.

The previous configuration illustrates the flexibility where the same number is routed via different gateways based on the user who is calling.
