SRST With WS-6608 Gateway

[mwheinz]

Is it possible to have a PRI gateway using a 6608 port, at a remote site, register to a 7200 series router during call-manager-fallback? We're doing it all over the place with other routers, but this site has a separate 7200 router and a 6509 with the 6608 blade.

So, can this be configured to work in fallback mode, that is, to be able to call in and out of this 6608 blade during fallback?

Thanks!

6608 uses MGCP ONLY as the call control protocol to talk to call manager - it does NOT support any form of MGCP fallback to H323 (like IOS MGCP gateways) if call mgr is down. So the answer to your question is no - 6608 cannot operate if call manager is down. An option may be to use the CMM module that also sits on a cat6k and is IOS based:
