Verifying Attendant Functionality
Cisco IOS supports several commands for acceptance and troubleshooting H.323 gateway
and attendant configuration, such as the following:
■ appearance attendant gw-type-prefix: Displays the technology prefix of a gateway
■ appearance attendant status: Displays the all-embracing attendant status, including area status
■ appearance attendant area prefix: Displays the area prefixes accepted to a gatekeeper
■ appearance attendant calls: Displays accepted calls accepted to a gatekeeper
■ appearance attendant endpoints: Displays endpoints currently registered with a
gatekeeper
■ appearance attendant area status: Displays the cachet of zones registered with a
gatekeeper
■ alter h225 {asn1 | events}: Displays H.225 action in real-time
■ alter h245 {asn1 | events}: Displays H.245 action in real-time
■ alter ras: Displays RAS messages, in real-time, to and from a gatekeeper
Note The achievement from some of these commands is provided beforehand in the “Verifying
Gatekeepers” area of this chapter.
The afterward examples allegorize the achievement of a few of these commands. First, you can
use the appearance attendant gw-type-prefix command to affectation configured prefixes, as
illustrated in Example 8-18.
