Gatekeeper config for gw-priority

[george]

Hi,

I have a very stange problem with my gatekeeper, I am trying to specify prefix 00 to be routed to specific gateways that are registered on my gatekeeper. I am using the command below for highest priority:

zone prefix "zone" 00* gw-priority 10 "h323-alias_1" "h323-alias_1"

All other registered gateways (on the same zone prefix) have the default priority which is "5".

When i try to call using prefix 00 the call is not always routed to the gateways specified with the highest priority.

I use Cisco 3640 with IOS version 12.3(8)T1.

Hi George,

This link explains the command zone prefix :

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5207/products_command_reference_chapter09186a00801a7f62.html#wp1002271

So if you give it as

zone prefix gw-priority 10

By this the gateway 1 woul dbe given a priority of 10 and that would be given preference. Please check this out with the command you have configured. It may help you.

Thanks

Thanks for the response. I am already using the command you specified but does not work.

zone prefix "local zone" 00* gw-priority 10 "h323_alias"

In the "show gatekeeper gw-type-prefix" output i can see that the specified gateways are regitered with the highest priority but signalling is not going through the gateways with the highest priority.

Find below my gatekeeper config:

gatekeeper

zone local gk.spidernet.net spidernet.net 194.154.157.2

no zone subnet gk.spidernet.net default enable

zone subnet "local zone" "h323_gw_IP_1" enable

zone subnet "local zone" "h323_gw_IP_2" enable

...

zone prefix "local zone" 00* gw-priority 10 "h323_gw_alias"

no use-proxy "local zone" default inbound-to terminal

no use-proxy "local zone" default outbound-from terminal

no shutdown

Any ideas?

Hi George,

Could you paste some debugs.

debug gatekeeper main 10

debug ras

debug h225 asn1

Also remove the " from the zone prefix command if that is not necessary.

thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the response. What should I be looking in the debugs? Should it show the priority of the registered gateway somewhere in the debugs?
