Example 8-12 Zone Configuration Example
GK1(config)#gatekeeper
GK1(config-gk)#zone local SanJose cisco.com 10.1.1.10
GK1(config-gk)#zone local Houston cisco.com enable-intrazone
GK1(config-gk)#zone remote Austin cisco.com 10.1.1.12
GK1(config-gk)#no shutdown
The gatekeeper is configured for the two zones: San Jose and Houston.
You can use the following procedure to configure zones on a gatekeeper:
Step 1. Enter gatekeeper configuration mode.
GK1(config)#gatekeeper
Step 2. Specify local zones to be controlled by the gatekeeper.
GK1(config-gk)#zone local SanJose cisco.com 10.1.1.10
GK1(config-gk)#zone local Houston cisco.com enable-intrazone

Note Setting the IP address for one local zone makes it the address used for all local
zones.
Step 3. Specify a remote gatekeeper to which the local gatekeeper can send location
requests (LRQs).
GK1(config-gk)#zone remote Austin cisco.com 10.1.1.12
Step 4. Activate the gatekeeper.
GK1(config-gk)#no shutdown
