Configuring H.323 Gatekeepers and Proxies

H.323 Gatekeeper Configuration Task List

Configuring Static Nodes

In some cases, the registration information is not accessible for a terminal or endpoint from any gatekeeper. This inaccessible registration information may be because the endpoint does not use RAS, is in an area where no gatekeeper exists, or is in a zone where the gatekeeper addressing is unavailable either through DNS or through configuration.

These endpoints can still be accessed via a gatekeeper by entering them as static nodes. To enter the endpoints as static nodes, obtain the address of the endpoint and then 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]	For an explanation of the arguments, see Step 2 of the
		configuration task table in the “Starting a
		Gatekeeper” section on page 304.
Step 3
	Router(config-gk)# alias static ip-signalling-addr	Creates a static entry in the local alias table for each
	[port] gkid gatekeeper-name [ras ip-ras-addr port]	E.164 address. Repeat this step for each E.164
	[terminal mcu gateway {h320 h323-proxy voip}]	address you want to add for the endpoint.
	[e164 e164-address] [h323id h323-id]
		The keywords and arguments are as follows:
		• ip-signalling-addr—Specifies the IP address of
		the H.323 node, used as the address to signal
		when establishing a call.
		• port—(Optional) Specifies the port number other
		than the endpoint call-signaling well-known port
		number (1720).
		• gkid gatekeeper-name—Specifies the name of
		the local gatekeeper of whose zone this node is a
		member.
		• ras ip-ras-addr—(Optional) Specifies the node
		remote access server (RAS) signaling address. If
		omitted, the ip-signalling-addrparameter is used
		in conjunction with the RAS well-known port.
		• port—(Optional) Specifies a port number other
		than the RAS well-known port number (1719).
		• terminal—(Optional) Indicates that the alias
		refers to a terminal.
		• mcu—(Optional) Indicates that the alias refers to
		a multiple control unit (MCU).
		• gateway—(Optional) Indicates that the alias
		refers to a gateway.
		• h320—(Optional) Indicates that the alias refers
		to an H.320 node.h320—(Optional) Indicates
		that the alias refers to an H.320 node.
