Can the CUBE & Gatekeeper exist on the same cisco ios router ?

[chukkaedovia]

Hi,

Ill like to know if I can use the same router to host the cisco CUBE and Gatekeeper functionalities.

Thank you.

AFAIK we can use both on the same router. After all, CUBE will just be an IP-IP gateway that registers to the GK on the same box.

Thanks for this . I also have another scenerio where CCM is connected  to MGCP gateways and CUBE. My aim is to failover from my MGCP gateway (  connects my PSTN ) to my SIP trunk ( SIP PROVIDER) and vice versa.

Will configuring multiple route groups on the CCM( i.e  Route-Pattern ---- Route-List------ 2XRoute Groups) cater for this  failover scenerio ? The 2 route groups will be the CUBE and the MGCP  gateways respectively.

I am concerned how the call manager will know when the  sip trunk has failed on the CUBE ( SIP trunk to provider ) so that it  can change to the MGCP gateways ( PSTN ).

Thank you.

Hi,

In cube in the dial-peer which is pointing to sip provider, you can configure the keep-alive mechanism using the below command.

voice-class sip options-keepalive.

You may also need you SIP Provider's help on this.

Configure the error-response code as 503 Service Unavailable, which should be huntable to next route.

You can refer the below link for more understanding on this
