Configuring MGCP Gateways


Configuring MGCP Gateways

Configuring MGCP on a aperture depends on what blazon of aperture you are configuring.

Residential aperture agreement is done in dial-peer agreement mode, admitting a

trunking aperture is configured beneath the ambassador interface.

Chapter 5: Examining VoIP Gateways and Aperture Ascendancy Protocols 285

Note Afterwards configuring the gateway, the aperture charge be added to the alarm agent.

To configure MGCP on a gateway, accomplish the tasks in the afterward sections.

MGCP Residential Aperture Agreement Example

MGCP is invoked with the mgcp command. If the alarm abettor expects the aperture to use

the absence anchorage (UDP 2427), the mgcp command is acclimated afterwards any parameters. If the

call abettor requires a altered port, the anchorage charge be configured as a constant in the

mgcp command; for example, mgcp 5036 would acquaint the aperture to use anchorage 5036

instead of the absence port.

You can accomplish the afterward accomplish to configure a RGW:

Step 1. Initiate the MGCP application.

Step 2. Specify the alarm agent’s IP abode or area name, port, and aperture control

service type.

At atomic one mgcp call-agent command is appropriate afterwards the mgcp command.

The command identifies the alarm abettor by an IP abode or a hostname. Using

a hostname adds a admeasurement of accountability altruism in a arrangement that has multiple

call agents. Back the aperture asks the DNS for the IP abode of the call

agent, the DNS ability accommodate added than one address, in which case the gateway

can use either one. If assorted instances of the mgcp call-agent command

are configured, the aperture uses the aboriginal alarm abettor to respond.

Step 3. Set up the punch associate for a articulation port.

■ Specify the MGCP appliance to run on the articulation port.

■ Specify the articulation anchorage to bind with MGCP.

When the ambit of the MGCP aperture are configured, the alive voice

ports (endpoints) are associated with MGCP. Punch associate 1, in Archetype 5-7,

illustrates an appliance mgcpapp subcommand. This command binds the

voice anchorage (1/0/0 in this case) to MGCP. Also, apprehension that the punch associate does

not acquire a destination pattern. A destination arrangement is not used, because the

relationship amid the punch cardinal and the anchorage is maintained by the call

agent.

Step 4. (Optional) Specify the accident bales that are accurate on the residential

gateway. The absence amalgamation is line-package.

The agreement archetype illustrated in Figure 5-20 and Archetype 5-7 illustrates the commands

required to configure an MGCP residential gateway, including the commands to

identify the bales that the aperture expects the alarm abettor to use back it communicates

with the gateway.
