Gatekeeper/Gateway co-resident problem

jamesfang98
Level 1
Level 1

This scenario took me quite a while and still no luck.

One co-resident CME-A gateway/ H.323 gatekeeper in same cisco rtr, and one other CME-B gateway.

ephones under CME-A cannot connect to CME-B via gatekeeper, CME-B ephone cannot talk to A vise versa,

Each time, after dial digits, got busy signal.

Troubleshooting:

Both CME-A and CME-B registered to Gatekeeper. All of zone prefixs are also up.

If without Gatekeeper, using IPIP gateway config, both CME-A and CME-B ephones can communicate.

Routing between CME-A ephone and CME-B ephone been verified.

The issue only happen when calls been routed through gatekeeper.

I am afraid it is due to co-resident CME-GW/GK issue.

IOS: c2600-ipvoice_ivs-mz.124-9.T7.bin

Any thought?

The config can be provided if needed.

the problem is u cant get CME to work as gateway and gatekeeper at the same time

the gateway-A need to rigister with the GK and have a dial-peer with distination as RAS the same on B

also it need a source interface as gateway side to work with gatekeer

Gatekeepers are H.323 devices that use the RAS protocol to communicate with Cisco voice gateways. RAS is a subset of the H.225 signaling protocol

also u need this stage to happen

Unicast discovery This method requires that the IP address of the gatekeeper is configured in the gateway. The gateway immediately sends a GRQ using User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port 1718. The gatekeeper either responds with a GCF or a GRJ

with ur config will not happns !!

the only way to get it work add additional device to work as GK and make those two CMEs register with it

if helpful Rate

or maybe you can do in this way?

VGA ->GKB

VGB ->GKA

unfortunately, this is not durable since we want to only maintain one gk.

From google, it appears Cisco developer forum supports this co-resident gw/gk idea.

Ref: http://developer.cisco.com/web/cdc/forums/?src=/forums/thread.jspa%3FthreadID%3D29514

From troubleshooting, it appears both GW been supported by GK. GK can also identify the zone/prefix for the call and passing the calls, but only fail in last step of gateway debug.

See:

CME-B x8041 call CME-A/GK x8100, call got busy signal,

here is debug output from CME-A/GK rtr:

can u post the GW config that contain GW/GK

I would imagine you can do CME/GK co-res.. I can tell you that I do IP2IP GW/GK just fine... however it definatly has lots of quirks because you must use via zones on your GK! Please paste the config...

Chad

thanks all for input> Finanlly, I kick off co-resident gw/gk and use dedicate gk.
