is there any way to disable gatekeeper registration requests

[antonis.p]

I need to stop the automatic gatekeeper registration request (towards 224.0.1.41).

Is there any command that performs this?

I am not sure which device you are trying to configure but if you are talking about IOS then my guess is that you have the "gateway" configuration applied at the global level. When enabled, the IOS device will start sending out GRQs to the 224.0.1.41 mcast group. Use the "no gateway" command to disable.

Thank you William, 

However the "no gateway" command will stop ios gateway to work as gateway. I am thinking placing an access list to stop GRQ packets, but is there any  smarter solution?

Yes, ACL is the best way to go

Hi @antonis.p,

You can configure your gateway to send unicast GRQs to the Gatekeeper you want with the following h323 interface command:

GW(config-if)# h323-gateway voip id <GK ID> ipaddr <GK IP> <port, 1719 by default> priority <priority value>

This prevents that your gateway sends requests to the multicast address (224.0.1.41) instead it only sends the GRQs to the GK that you assing in the previous command.

HTH.
