Configuring H.323 Gatekeepers and Proxies

H.323 Gatekeeper Configuration Task List

Configuring a Forced Disconnect on a Gatekeeper

To force a disconnect on a gatekeeper, use the following command in privileged EXEC mode:

Command

Purpose

 

 

Router# clear h323 gatekeeper call

Forces a disconnect on a specific call or on all calls currently

{all local-callID local-callID}

active on this gatekeeper.

 

The keywords and arguments are as follows:

 

all—Forces all active calls currently associated with this

 

gatekeeper to be disconnected.

 

local-callID—Forces a single active call associated with this

 

gatekeeper to be disconnected.

 

local-callID—Specifies the local call identification number

 

(CallID) that identifies the call to be disconnected.

 

 

To force a particular call to be disconnected (as opposed to all active calls on the H.323 gateway), use the local call identification number (CallID) to identify that specific call. Find the local CallID number for a specific call by using the show gatekeeper calls command; the ID number is displayed in the LocalCallID column.

Verifying a Forced Disconnect

To show the status of each ongoing call that a gatekeeper is aware of, use the show gatekeeper calls command. If you have forced a disconnect either for a particular call or for all calls associated with a particular H.323 gatekeeper, the system will not display information about those calls.

The following is sample output from the show gatekeeper calls command:

router# show gatekeeper calls

Total

number of active calls =1

Configuring the Proxy

This section describes the following configuration tasks for configuring the proxy. Depending on your specific network design, either the first task or the second task is required.
