Configuring H.323 Gatekeepers and Proxies

H.323 Gatekeeper Configuration Task List

Starting a Gatekeeper

To enter gatekeeper configuration mode and to start the gatekeeper, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

Router(config)# gatekeeper

Enters gatekeeper configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

Router(config-gk)# zone local gatekeeper-name

Specifies a zone controlled by a gatekeeper.

 

domain-name [ras-IP-address]

The arguments are as follows:

 

 

 

 

gatekeeper-name—Specifies the gatekeeper

 

 

name or zone name. This is usually the fully

 

 

domain-qualified host name of the gatekeeper.

 

 

For example, if the domain name is cisco.com,

 

 

the gatekeeper name might be gk1.cisco.com.

 

 

However, if the gatekeeper is controlling

 

 

multiple zones, the gatekeeper name for each

 

 

zone should be some unique string that has a

 

 

mnemonic value.

 

 

domain-name—Specifies the domain name

 

 

served by this gatekeeper.

 

 

ras-IP-address—(Optional) Specifies the IP

 

 

address of one of the interfaces on the

 

 

gatekeeper. When the gatekeeper responds to

 

 

gatekeeper discovery messages, it signals the

 

 

endpoint or gateway to use this address in future

 

 

communications.

 

 

Note Setting this address for one local zone makes

 

 

it the address used for all local zones.
