Configuring H.323 Gatekeepers and Proxies

H.323 Gatekeeper Configuration Task List

Note To remove a trigger, enter the no server trigger command. To temporarily suspend a trigger, enter the trigger configuration mode, as described in Step 2, and enter the shutdown subcommand.

Configuring Inbound or Outbound Gatekeeper Proxied Access

By default, a gatekeeper will offer the IP address of the local proxy when queried by a remote gatekeeper (synonymous with remote zone). This is considered proxied access. Before Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)T, the local gatekeeper was configured using the zone access command to offer the address of the local endpoint instead of the address of the local proxy (considered direct access).

Note The use-proxycommand replaces the zone access command. The use-proxycommand, configured on a local gatekeeper, affects only the use of proxies for incoming calls (that is, it does not affect the use of local proxies for outbound calls). When originating a call, a gatekeeper will use a proxy only if the remote gatekeeper offers a proxy at the remote end. A call between two endpoints in the same zone will always be a direct (nonproxied) call.

To configure a proxy for inbound calls from remote zones to gateways in its local zone and to configure a proxy for outbound calls from gateways in its local zone to remote zones, 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)# use-proxylocal-zone-name	Enables proxy communications for calls between
	{default remote-zone remote-zone-name}{inbound-to	local and remote zones.
	outbound-from} {gateway terminal}	The keywords and arguments are as follows:
		• local-zone-name—Specifies the name or zone
		name of the gatekeeper, which 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 name of the gatekeeper for
		each zone should be a unique string that has a
		mnemonic value.
		• default—Defines the default proxy policy for all
		calls that are not defined by a use-proxy
		command that includes the remote-zone
		keyword.
		• remote-zoneremote-zone-name—Defines a
		proxy policy for calls to or from a specific remote
		gatekeeper or zone.
