What is a hunt group?

• A. A feature that rings multiple endpoints based on a hunting algorithm.
• B. An ordered set of gateways used for routing with load balancing.
• C. A translation pattern that modifies digits.
• D. A CTI route point used for applications routing.

Answer: (D)

Calls are distributed to several endpoints by grouping multiple DNs into a hunt group and applying a hunting algorithm to decide how to ring them. This setup ensures the first available person answers by stepping through the list in a defined order or pattern (linear, circular, longest idle, parallel, etc.). The hunt pilot triggers this behavior, and the chosen method determines how the system rings each member. This is different from routing to gateways for load balancing (that would be a route or gateway group), a translation pattern (which changes digits), or a CTI route point (used by CTI applications to bring calls into CUCM). So, a hunt group is best described as a feature that rings multiple endpoints based on a hunting algorithm.
