Cisco Systems VC-289 manual Configuring Local and Remote Gatekeepers, Command, Purpose, VC-309

Configuring H.323 Gatekeepers and Proxies

H.323 Gatekeeper Configuration Task List

zone remote gnet-2503-3-gk cisco.com 172.18.194.134 1719

zone prefix gnet-2503-2-gk 919.......

zone prefix gnet-2600-1-gk 919.......

zone prefix gnet-2503-6-gk 919.......

As you can see, the zone prefix for the local gatekeeper (gnet-2503-2-gk) has been inserted at the top of the zone prefix list. If the local gatekeeper can resolve the address, it will not send LRQs to the remote zones.

If you are configuring technology prefixes, the zone prefix for the local gatekeeper should be inserted at the top of the zone prefix list. If the local gatekeeper can resolve the address, it will not send LRQs to the remote zones.

Configuring Local and Remote Gatekeepers

To configure local and remote gatekeepers, 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.
