Gateway configuration task list
This chapter describes the configuration of the H.323 gateway. Some parameters can be configured in the gate-
way configuration mode and may be overwritten in another configuration mode, For example, in the H.323
CS interface. For example, the default VoIP profile to be used with the gateway is configured in the gateway
configuration mode. However it can be overwritten by another VoIP profile specified in the H.323 CS inter-
face. All possible configurations, which are involved in a specific configuration topic are described in the
respective configuration task.
• Configure datapath related settings
• Binding the gateway to an IP interface
• Enable the Gateway
• Configure Registration Authentication Service (RAS) (Optional)
• Configure H.235 Security (Optional)
• Advanced configuration options (Optional)
Binding the gateway to an IP interface
Binding the gateway to one of the available IP interfaces is required to allow the gateway to determine the local
IP address it should use. The gateway needs to know the local IP address For example, when it needs to tell the
remote gateway in the call-signaling to which IP address the remote gateway should send the media streams
(RTP data). The gateway always uses the IP address of the interface to which it is bound, when a local IP
address is required. The following procedure describes how to bind the gateway to a local IP interface.
Mode: Gateway H.323
Example: Binding the gateway
The following example shows how to bind the gateway to an IP interface.
node>enable
node#configure
node(cfg)#gateway h323 h323
node(gw-h323)[h323]#bind interface eth0
Enable the gateway
In order to become active the H.323 gateway must be enabled. The following procedure enables the
H.323 gateway:
Mode: Gateway H.323
Example: Enabling an H.323 gateway
Step Command Purpose
1 node(gw-h323)[h323]#bind interface if-name Binds the gateway to the IP interface if-name.
Step Command Purpose
1
node(gw-h323)[h323]#no shutdown
Enable the H.323 gateway
