Busy-Out PRI's on MGCP Gateway

[mike-greene]

Hi,

One of our customers needs us to busy out there PRI's while they install voice firewalls.  There running CUCM 4.1 and the gateways are all MGCP.  I found the document below and I have a couple questions about the gateway reboot in step 6.  Can I do this reboot ahead of time to get ready and is it safe to leave the settings after they do there install or should I change it back?

I hope you guys have done or seen this before.

Thanks, Mike

I don't think you need to reboot the physical gateway. You simply need to enable status polling on the MGCP endpoint (in CUCM configuration mode) and do a reset on the gateway from CUCM. No reboot should be necessary.

HTH.
