Command History
Usage Guidelines The gatekeeper does not have to be enabled before you can use the other gatekeeper configuration
commands. In fact, it is recommended that you complete the gatekeeper configuration before bringing
up the gatekeeper because some characteristics may be difficult to alter while the gatekeeper is running,
as there may be active registrations or calls.
The no shutdown command enables the gatekeeper, but it does not make the gatekeeper operational. The
two exceptions to this are as follows:
•If no local zones are configured, a no shutdown command places the gatekeeper in INACTIVE
mode waiting for a local zone definition.
•If local zones are defined to use an HSRP virtual address, and the HSRP interface is in STANDBY
mode, the gatekeeper goes into HSRP STANDBY mode. Only when the HSRP interface is ACTIVE
will the gatekeeper go into the operational UP mode.
Examples The following command disables a gatekeeper:
shutdown
