External Gatekeeper

On the External Gatekeeper page, you can add or remove neighbor gatekeepers. This is a supercluster-wide configuration.

When an enterprise has multiple neighbored gatekeepers, each gatekeeper manages its own H.323 zone. When a call originates in one gatekeeper zone and that zone’s gatekeeper is unable to resolve the dialed address, it forwards the call to the appropriate neighbor gatekeeper(s) for resolution.

But note that a Polycom RealPresence DMA supercluster can manage multiple locations as a single H.323 zone, with the clusters acting as a single virtual gatekeeper. This allows the gatekeeper function to be geographically distributed, but managed centrally. A Polycom RealPresence DMA supercluster may eliminate the need for multiple zones and neighbor gatekeepers.

Note: External gatekeeper considerations

When adding a neighbor gatekeeper, you can only specify one IP address. In an IPv4 + IPv6 environment, to add a neighbor gatekeeper that has both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address, do the following:

•Add the neighbor gatekeeper using its IPv4 address.

•Add it a second time using its IPv6 address.

•Add one Resolve to external gatekeeper dial rule (see Add Dial Rule Dialog) that specifies the neighbor gatekeeper’s IPv4 address entry (and no other gatekeepers).

•Add another Resolve to external gatekeeper dial rule that specifies the neighbor gatekeeper’s IPv6 address entry (and no other gatekeepers).

Requests from endpoints with IPv4 addresses will be forwarded to the gatekeeper’s IPv4 address, and requests from endpoints with IPv6 addresses will be forwarded to the gatekeeper’s IPv6 address.

The following table describes the fields in the list.
