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.
