Related Commands

Command

Description

 

prov-add

Adds a component.

 

 

 

 

prov-cpy

Activates the configuration settings in the current provisioning

 

 

session.

 

 

 

 

prov-dlt

Deletes a provisioned component.

 

 

 

 

prov-exp

Exports the current configuration of the Cisco HSI in MML

 

 

command form to a file or files.

 

 

 

 

prov-rtrv

Retrieves information about an existing provisioning session.

 

 

 

 

prov-sta

Establishes a provisioning session.

 

 

 

 

prov-stp

Terminates either a specified provisioning session or the current

 

 

provisioning session.

 

 

 

prov-exp

 

 

The prov-expcommand exports the current provisioned configuration of the Cisco HSI in MML

 

 

command form to a file. With this configuration file, you can prime a system with a cloned configuration

 

 

from an existing system. It also enables you to restore a baseline configuration to a system. You can use

 

 

the MML batch feature to import the exported data.

 

 

Start a dummy provisioning session with the prov-stacommand before you use the prov-expcommand.

 

 

prov-sta:srcver=active, dstver=dummy1

 

 

prov-exp:dirname=export directory name

 

 

prov-stp

 

 

 

 

Syntax Description

 

export directory name Name of the directory to which the data is exported. This directory is a

 

 

subdirectory within the /opt/GoldWing/export directory established at

 

 

installation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Examples

 

The MML command shown in the following example saves the active file as config.mml to the

 

 

export/uk9/ directory:

gw mml> prov-exp:dirname=uk9

H323 Signaling Interface Sun Jan 7 14:29:11 2001

M SUCC

Successfully exported "active" to export/uk9/config.mml

The UNIX command shown in the following example executes MML in batch mode and imports the configuration file that was exported in the previous example:

mml> -b /opt/GoldWing/currentGW/export/uk9/config.mml

H.323 specifications

Cisco Systems H.323 is a set of standards designed for transmitting audio, video, and data over packet-switched networks. It is a critical technology that enables real-time communication and has become integral to the world of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and video conferencing applications. Originally developed by the ITU-T, H.323 has been widely adopted and implemented by Cisco Systems, allowing organizations to leverage reliable and scalable communication solutions.

One of the standout features of H.323 is its ability to support interoperability among varying equipment and platforms. This means that devices from different manufacturers can communicate seamlessly, which is vital in a diverse technical environment. H.323 does this by defining protocols that handle signaling, media transport, and control, ensuring that various systems can work together effectively.

Key technologies utilized within H.323 include H.225 and H.245 signaling protocols. H.225 is responsible for call setup and management, establishing communication between endpoints. In contrast, H.245 manages the negotiation of media channels, allowing devices to configure themselves based on the capabilities of each other. This adaptability is crucial for dynamic network conditions typical in VoIP applications.

Another defining characteristic of H.323 is its support for multiple types of multimedia communication, including point-to-point and multipoint calls. This flexibility supports everything from simple audio calls to complex videoconferencing setups, where many participants can share video and audio streams concurrently. Cisco enhances this capability through its hardware and software offerings, optimizing performance for conference calls.

H.323 also features robust error resilience mechanisms. This ensures that real-time data, which is typically sensitive to delays and losses, can be transmitted with minimal disruption. Moreover, it facilitates quality of service (QoS) implementation, allowing organizations to prioritize voice and video traffic over less critical data services, thereby improving the overall user experience.

In conclusion, Cisco Systems H.323 stands out as a comprehensive solution for real-time communication over packet-based networks. Its main features, including interoperability, multimedia support, and enhanced error resilience, position it as a relevant technology in both corporate and personal communication settings. As organizations continue to adopt cloud and hybrid communication models, H.323 remains a reliable backbone for ensuring connectivity and collaboration across diverse platforms.
