Starting a Gatekeeper
To enter gatekeeper configuration mode and to start the gatekeeper, use the following commands
beginning in global configuration mode:
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router(config)# gatekeeper Enters gatekeeper configuration mode.
Step 2 Router(config-gk)# zone local gatekeeper-name
domain-name [ras-IP-address]
Specifies a zone controlled by a gatekeeper.
The arguments are as follows:
• gatekeeper-name—Specifies the gatekeeper
name or zone name. This is usually the fully
domain-qualified host name of the gatekeeper.
For example, if the domain name is cisco.com,
the gatekeeper name might be gk1.cisco.com.
However, if the gatekeeper is controlling
multiple zones, the gatekeeper name for each
zone should be some unique string that has a
mnemonic value.
• domain-name—Specifies the domain name
served by this gatekeeper.
• ras-IP-address—(Optional) Specifies the IP
address of one of the interfaces on the
gatekeeper. When the gatekeeper responds to
gatekeeper discovery messages, it signals the
endpoint or gateway to use this address in future
communications.
Note Setting this address for one local zone makes
it the address used for all local zones.
