MGCP gateway won't register

Evan Ray

Level 1

So I've posted up another thread about one of my serial interfaces having an issue, and I wanted to swap out the router.  But I'm unable to get the MGCP gateway to register.  The status is UNKNOWN.  I can see the IP address of the router under the list of gateways, but status states unknown.  I've searched high and low online about what causes this, but I've seen many threads left to die with no resolution.  Any ideas as to what causes the unknown status.  I've configured everything the same as the old router, and made sure to change the name of the router accordingly.  Any thoughts?

Make sure the domain name matches EXACTLY what it shows in the "show ccm-manager" command.  Domain Name and hostname must match.  Also, make sure the primary and secondary cucm servers match what is in the callmanager group.  If it is trying to register to a subscriber not in its callmanager group registration would fail.

 

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Thanks so much for replying!

The name is indeed the same.  I think you might be on something on that second part.  Right now 'sh ccm-manager' shows the primary as the CMS, and the first backup as the CMP.

What would of made that swap?  I don't even know how to switch that, but I think that might be it!

"Mgcp call-agent" for the primary and "ccm-manager redundant-host" for the backups. Here is a configuration guide to help: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice-unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/42105-vg200-cfg.html

The config above is working properly and registering the Cisco 3825, so I'm wondering why it wouldn't work with the 3845 I'm trying to upgrade too.

Hi Ninja,

please share output of show ccm-manager and show ccm-manager hosts from cisco 3845 router ?

if possible, also share show run of 3845 router.

regds,

aman

1. can you ping your call agent taking Gig 0/0 as source?

2. do "no mgcp" and "mgcp" than collect debug mgcp packets

3. Check if your device pool as same as the gateway config you are copying. because your call manager group sequence should match with the call agent and the redundant host

 

 

I can ping the call agent using Gig 0/0 as source.

I will do a tear down of the mgcp and collect debug.

In regards to the device pool, it looks like the SRST reference name is using that of the old router name. But its still pointing to the correct router IP address. 

*edit* I posted about code tags, but looks like if I copy out of Notepad it won't group all the config in a paragraph.

It shows registered on the gateway.  Have you tried making a call out of the MGCP gateway?

Sorry, I took that config out of the current running configuration with the old router, so it will show Registered. To be honest, I didn't look at the router to see if it was registered.  I was look inside CCM under Gateways where it stated it was Unknown.

Are you looking at the endpoints in CUCM or the gateway itself?  The gateway itself will always show unregistered but endpoints like your PRIs should show registered.

I was looking at the endpoints.

Here's what I see under List Gateways

      

S0/SU0/DS1-1@CORE-RTR    S0/SU0/DS1-0@CORE-RTR    CORE   UNKNOWN    192.168.100.1

I see the same in endpoints for the 4 PRI's.

Currently, we have a 3825 in production that is working and I see the 192.168.111.6 under status of the 4 PRI's.   The 111.6 is our CMS.

Can you give the "show isdn status" output and also "show run | sec controller"?
