Configuring the Media Gateway Controller (MGC)
Issue 5 June 2008 95
Setting the G250/G350’s MGC
Use the
set mgc list
command to set the G250/G350’s MGC. You can enter the IP
addresses of up to four MGCs with the
set mgc list
command. The first MGC on the list is
the primary MGC. The G250/G350 searches for the primary MGC first. If it cannot connect to
the primary MGC, it searches for the next MGC on the list, and so on.
When SLS is enabled, the MGC list includes the SLS module as a fifth entry on the MGC list.
For details about SLS, see
Configuring Standard Local Survivability (SLS) on page 129.
Note:
Note:
If the MGC is an S8700-series server, the first server on the list will normally be
the primary C-LAN board connected to the server. If the MGC is an S8400 or
S8500, the first server on the list will be either the primary C-LAN board
connected to the server, or an Ethernet port on the server that has been enabled
for processor Ethernet connections. If the MGC is an S8300, the first server on
the list will be the IP address of the S8300. The remaining servers will be either
alternate C-LAN boards connected to the S8400, S8500, or S8700-series
servers, or an S8300 configured as an LSP, or the port enabled as the Ethernet
processor port on an S8500 configured as an LSP.
In the following example of the
set mgc list
command, if the MGC with the IP address
132.236.73.2 is available, that MGC becomes the G250/G350’s MGC. If that server is not
available, the G250/G350 searches for the next MGC on the list, and so on.
Determining results
To determine the result of the
set mgc list
command, use the
show mgc
command. This
command has the following output:
●
Registered . Indicates whether or not the G250/G350 is registered with an MGC (YES or
NO)
●
Active Controller . Displays the IP address of the active MGC. If there is no active MGC
(that is, if the
set mgc list
command failed to configure an MGC), this field displays
255.255.255.255.
●
H248 Link Status . Indicates whether the communication link between the G250/G350 and
the MGC is up or down
●
H248 Link Error Code . If there is a communication failure between the G250/G350 and
the MGC, this field displays the error code
G350-001
(super)# set mgc list 132.236.73.2, 132.236.73.3,
132.236.73.4, 132.236.73.5
Done!
