Enabling VoIP Gateway Functionality
Enable VoIP gateway functionality by using the gateway command.
To enable gateway functionality, use the following commands:
Configuring Gateway Interface Parameters
The nextstep in configuring an H.323 gatewayis to configure the gatewayinterfaceparameters.First
define which interface will be presented to the VoIP network as this gateway’s H.323 interface. Only
one interface is allowed to be the gateway interface. You can select either the interface that is
connected to the gatekeeper or a loopback interface. The interfacethat isconnected to the gatekeeper
is usually a LAN interface (for example, Fast Ethernet, Ethernet, FDDI, or Token Ring).
After you define the gateway interface, configure the gateway to discover the gatekeeper either
through multicasting or by directing it to a specific host. Then configure the gateway’s H.323
identification number and any technology prefixes that this gateway should register with the
gatekeeper.
To define the interface to be used as the H.323 gateway interface and configure the H.323 gateway
interface parameters, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:
Step Command Purpose
1
router# configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
2
router(config)# gateway
Enable the VoIP gateway.
Step Command Purpose
1
router(config)# interface
type slot/port
Enter interface configuration mode to configure parameters for
the specified interface.
2
router(config-if)# ip address
ip-address
subnet-mask
Specify the IP address for this interface.
3
router(config-if)#h323-gateway voip interface
Designate this interface as the H.323 gateway interface.
4
router(config-if)#h323-gateway voip h323-id
interface-id
Specify an H.323 name (ID) for the gateway associated with this
interface. This ID is used by this gateway when this gateway
communicates with the gatekeeper. Usually, this H.323 ID is the
name given to the gateway with the gatekeeper domain name
appended to the end.
5
router(config-if)#h323-gateway voip id
gatekeeper
{ipaddr
ip-address
[
port
]| multicast}
Specify the name (ID) of the gatekeeper associated with this
gateway and how the gateway finds it. The gatekeeper ID
configured here must exactly match the gatekeeper ID in the
gatekeeper configuration. The gateway determines the location of
the gateway in one of two ways: either by a defined IP address or
through multicast.
6
router(config-if)#h323-gateway voip tech-prefix
prefix
Specify a technology prefix. A technology prefix is used to
identify a type of service that this gateway is capable of
providing.
Note If a gateway is capable of handling multiple services,
specify each service with a tech-prefix command.
7
router(config-if)#exit
Exit interface configuration mode.
8
router(config)#exit
Exit global configuration mode.
