zone access

To configure the accessibility of your local zone, use the zone access command in gatekeeper configuration mode. To remove any accessibility configurations, use the no form of this command.

zone access local-zone-name {default | remote-zone remote-zone-name} {direct | proxied}

no zone access local-zone-name remote-zone remote-zone-name

Syntax Description

local-zone-name

Name of local zone (synonymous with local gatekeeper).

default

Use with the direct or proxied keyword to define the mode of behavior for all remote zones that have not been specially named using the remote-zone remote-zone-name keyword and argument combination.

remote-zone remote-zone-name

Name of remote zone (synonymous with remote gatekeeper) for which a special mode of behavior is defined.

direct

Configures direct calls (without use of proxies) between endpoints. The local zone (or gatekeeper) offers the local endpoint IP address instead of the IP address of a local proxy.

proxied

Configures calls using proxies between endpoints. The local zone (or gatekeeper) offers the IP address of a local proxy instead of the local endpoint address.


Command Default

The local zone allows proxied access for all remote zones.

Command Modes

11.3(2)NA

This command was introduced on Cisco 2500 series and Cisco 3600 series.


Usage Guidelines

By default, a gatekeeper offers a local proxy IP address when queried by a remote gatekeeper about a target local endpoint. This is considered proxied access. By using the zone access command, you can configure the local gatekeeper to offer the local endpoint address instead of the local proxy address. This is considered direct access.


Note The zone access command, configured on your local gatekeeper, affects only the use of proxies for incoming calls (that is, it does not affect the use of local proxies for outbound calls). When originating a call, a gatekeeper uses a proxy only if the remote gatekeeper offers a proxy at the remote end. A call between two endpoints in the same zone is always a direct (nonproxied) call.


You can define the accessibility behavior of a local zone relative to certain remote zones using the remote-zone remote-zone-name keyword and argument combination with the direct or proxied keyword. You can define the default behavior of a local zone relative to all other remote zones using the default keyword with the direct or proxied keywords. To remove an explicitly named remote zone so that it is governed by the default-behavior rule, use the no zone access command.

Examples

The following example allows direct access to the local zone eng.xyz.com from remote zones within xyz corporation. All other remote locations will have proxied access to eng.xzy.com.

zone local eng.xyz.com xyz.com
zone access eng.xyz.com remote-zone mfg.xyz.com direct
zone access eng.xyz.com remote-zone mktg.xyz.com direct
zone access eng.xyz.com remote-zone sales.xyz.com direct
zone access eng.xyz.com default proxied

The following example supposes that only local gatekeepers within xyz.com have direct access to each other because your corporation has firewalls or you do not advertise your gatekeepers externally. You have excellent Quality of Service (QoS) within your corporate network, except for a couple of foreign offices. In this case, use proxies with the foreign offices (in Milan and Tokyo) and nowhere else.

zone local sanjose.xyz.com xyz.com
zone access sanjose.xyz.com default direct
zone access sanjose.xyz.com remote-zone milan.xyz.com proxied
zone access sanjose.xyz.com remote-zone tokyo.xyz.com proxied

zone circuit-id

To associate a remote zone with a circuit, use the zone circuit-id command in gatekeeper configuration mode. To delete the circuit ID for a zone, use the no form of this command.

zone circuit-id remote-zone-name circuit-id [override-source-circuitid]

no zone circuit-id remote-zone-name circuit-id

Syntax Description

remote-zone-name

Name of the remote zone.

circuit-id

ID of the circuit to be associated with the remote zone.

override-source-circuitid

(Optional) Specifies whether the source circuit ID of the incoming location request (LRQ) message needs to be overridden with this keyword.


Command Default

The override flag is disabled and the incoming source circuit ID is used if present.

Command Modes

Gatekeeper configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(11)T

This command was introduced.

12.3(14)T

The override-source-circuitid keyword was added.


Usage Guidelines

VoIP calls with an LRQ message that come to a gatekeeper from a non-cisco gatekeeper in a remote zone (for example, from an Internet telephony service provider [ITSP]), the LRQ message does not include a source circuit identifier. This command allows the gatekeeper to assign a circuit identifier to the zone and an IP address of the call origination. If the source circuit ID is already present then the configured value will not be used. To enforce the usage of configured source circuit ID, even if the incoming LRQ has a value, configure the override-source-circuitid keyword. The Gatekeeper Transaction Message Protocol (GKTMP) server application uses this data to determine a route for the call.

Examples

The following example configures the remote zone GKout1 with a circuit ID CarrierA:

Router(config)# gatekeeper
Router(config-gk)# zone circuit-id GKout1 CarrierA

The following example configures the remote zone GKout2 with a circuit ID CarrierB and overrides the incoming LRQ source circuit-id value:

Router(config)# gatekeeper
Router(config-gk)# zone circuit-id GKout2 CarrierB override-source-circuitid

gatekeeper-name

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 mnemonic string.

domain-name

The domain name served by this gatekeeper.

ras-IP-address

12.2(11)T

This command was implemented on the Cisco MC3810 and Cisco 7200 series.

12.3(4)T

The invia, outvia, and enable-intrazone keywords were added.


Usage Guidelines

Multiple local zones can be defined. The gatekeeper manages all configured local zones. Intrazone and interzone behavior remains the same (zones are controlled by the same or different gatekeepers).

Only one ras-IP-address argument can be defined for all local zones. You cannot configure each zone to use a different RAS IP address. If you define this in the first zone definition, you can omit it for all subsequent zones, which automatically pick up this address. If you set it in a subsequent zone local command, it changes the RAS address of all previously configured local zones as well. Once defined, you can change it by reissuing any zone local command with a different ras-IP-address argument.

If the ras-IP-address argument is a Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) virtual address, it automatically puts the gatekeeper into HSRP mode. In this mode, the gatekeeper assumes STANDBY or ACTIVE status according to whether the HSRP interface is on STANDBY or ACTIVE status.

You cannot remove a local zone if there are endpoints or gateways registered in it. To remove the local zone, shut down the gatekeeper first, which forces unregistration.

Multiple zones are controlled by multiple logical gatekeepers on the same Cisco IOS platform.

The maximum number of local zones defined in a gatekeeper should not exceed 100.

This command can also be used to change the IP address used by the gatekeeper.

Examples

The following example creates a zone controlled by a gatekeeper in the domain called "cisco.com":

Router(config)# gatekeeper
Router(config-gk)# zone local easterngk.cisco.com cisco.com

zone prefix

To add a prefix to the gatekeeper zone list, use the zone prefix command in gatekeeper configuration mode. To remove knowledge of a zone prefix, use the no form of this command with the gatekeeper name and prefix. To remove the priority assignment for a specific gateway, use the no form of this command with the gw-priority option.

zone prefix gatekeeper-name e164-prefix [blast | seq] [gw-priority priority gw-alias [gw-alias, ...]]

no zone prefix gatekeeper-name e164-prefix [blast | seq] [gw-priority priority gw-alias [gw-alias, ...]]

Syntax Description

gatekeeper-name

Name of a local or remote gatekeeper, which must have been defined by using the zone local or zone remote command.

e164-prefix

E.164 prefix in standard form followed by dots (.). Each dot represents a number in the E.164 address. For example, 212....... is matched by 212 and any seven numbers.

Note Although a dot representing each digit in an E.164 address is the preferred configuration method, you can also enter an asterisk (*) to match any number of digits.

blast

(Optional) If you list multiple hopoffs, this indicates that the LRQs should be sent simultaneously to the gatekeepers based on the order in which they were listed. The default is seq.

seq

(Optional) If you list multiple hopoffs, this indicates that the LRQs should be sent sequentially to the gatekeepers based on the order in which they were listed. The default is seq.

gw-priority pri-0-to-10 gw-alias

(Optional) Defines how the gatekeeper selects gateways in its local zone for calls to numbers beginning with prefix e164-prefix. Do not use this option to set priority levels for a prefix assigned to a remote gatekeeper.

Range is from 0 to 10, where 0 prevents the gatekeeper from using the gateway gw-alias for that prefix and 10 places the highest priority on gateway gw-alias. The default is 5.

To assign the same priority value for one prefix to multiple gateways, list all the gateway names after the pri-0-to-10 value.

gw-alias name is the H.323 ID of a gateway that is registered or will register with the gatekeeper. This name is set on the gateway with the h323-gateway voip h.323-id command.


Command Default

No knowledge of the gatekeeper zone prefix or the prefix of any other zone is defined.
Gateway priority is 5.

This command is supported on the Cisco AS5300, Cisco AS5350, Cisco AS5400, and Cisco AS5850 in this release.


Usage Guidelines

A gatekeeper can handle more than one zone prefix, but a zone prefix cannot be shared by more than one gatekeeper. If you have defined a zone prefix as being handled by a gatekeeper and now define it as being handled by a second gatekeeper, the second assignment cancels the first.

If you need a gatekeeper to handle more than one prefix, but for cost reasons you want to be able to group its gateways by prefix usage, there are two ways to do it.

The first method is simpler, has less overhead, and is recommended if your gateways can be divided into distinct groups, in which each group is to be used for a different set of prefixes. For instance, if a group of gateways is used for calling area codes 408 and 650, and another group is used for calling area code 415, you can use this method. In this case, you define a local zone for each set of prefixes and have the group of gateways to be used for that set of prefixes register with that specific local zone. Do not define any gateway priorities. All gateways in each local zone are treated equally in the selection process.

However, if your gateways cannot be cleanly divided into nonintersecting groups (for instance, if one gateway is used for calls to 408 and 415 and another gateway is used for calls to 415 and 650), you can put all these gateways in the same local zone and use the gw-priority option to define which gateways will be used for which prefixes.

When choosing a gateway, the gatekeeper first looks for the longest zone prefix match; then it uses the priority and the gateway status to select from the gateways.

If all gateways are available, the gatekeeper chooses the highest-priority gateway. If all the highest-priority gateways are busy (see the gateway resource threshold command), a lower-priority gateway is selected.


Note The zone prefix command matches a prefix to a gateway. It does not register the gateway. The gateway must register with the gatekeeper before calls can be completed through that gateway.


Examples

The following example shows how you can define multiple local zones for separating your gateways:

Router(config-gk)# zone local gk408or650 xyz.com
Router(config-gk)# zone local gk415 xyz.com
Router(config-gk)# zone prefix gk408or650 408.......
Router(config-gk)# zone prefix gk408or650 650.......
Router(config-gk)# zone prefix gk415 415.......

Now you need to configure all the gateways to be used for area codes 408 or 650 to register with gk408or650 and all gateways to be used for area code 415 to register with gk415. On Cisco voice gateways, you configure the gateways to register with the appropriate gatekeepers by using the h323 voip id command.

The following example shows how you can put all your gateways in the same zone but use the gw-priority keyword to determine which gateways are used for calling different area codes:

Router(config-gk)# zone local localgk xyz.com
Router(config-gk)# zone prefix localgk 408.......
Router(config-gk)# zone prefix localgk 415....... gw-priority 10 gw1 gw2
Router(config-gk)# zone prefix localgk 650....... gw-priority 0 gw1

The commands shown accomplish the following tasks:

Domain xyz.com is assigned to gatekeeper localgk.

Prefix 408...... is assigned to gatekeeper localgk, and no gateway priorities are defined for it; therefore, all gateways registering to localgk can be used equally for calls to the 408 area code. No special gateway lists are built for the 408....... prefix; selection is made from the master list for the zone.

Prefix 415....... is added to gatekeeper localgk, and priority 10 is assigned to gateways gw1 and gw2.

Prefix 650....... is added to gatekeeper localgk, and priority 0 is assigned to gateway gw1.

A priority 0 is assigned to gateway gw1 to exclude it from the gateway pool for prefix 650. When gateway gw2 registers with gatekeeper localgk, it is added to the gateway pool for each prefix as follows:

For gateway pool for 415, gateway gw2 is set to priority 10.

For gateway pool for 650, gateway gw2 is set to priority 5.

The following example changes gateway gw2 from priority 10 for zone 415....... to the default priority 5:

Router(config)# gatekeeper
Router(config-gk)# no zone prefix localgk 415....... gw-priority 10 gw2

The following example changes both gateways gw1 and gw2 from priority 10 for zone 415....... to the default priority 5:

Router(config)# gatekeeper
Router(config-gk)# no zone prefix localgk 415....... gw-priority 10 gw1 gw2

In this example, the prefix 415....... remains assigned to gatekeeper localgk. All gateways that do not specify a priority level for this prefix are assigned a default priority of 5. The following example removes the prefix and all associated gateways and priorities from this gatekeeper:

Router(config)# gatekeeper
Router(config-gk)# no zone prefix localgk 415.......

Usage Guidelines

Not all gatekeepers have to be in the DNS. For those that are not, use the zone remote command so that the local gatekeeper knows how to access them. In addition, you may wish to improve call response time slightly for frequently accessed zones. If the zone remote command is configured for a particular zone, you do not need to make a DNS lookup transaction.

The maximum number of zones defined on a gatekeeper varies depending on the mode or the call model or both. For example, a directory gatekeeper may be in the mode of being responsible for forwarding Location Request (LRQ) messages and not handling any local registrations and calls; the call model might be E.164 addressed calls instead of H.323-ID addressed calls.

For a directory gatekeeper that does not handle local registrations and calls, the maximum remote zones defined should not exceed 10,000; an additional 4 MB of memory is required to store this maximum number of remote zones.

For a gatekeeper that handles local registrations and only E.164 addressed calls, the number of remote zones defined should not exceed 2000.

For a gatekeeper that handles H.323-ID calls, the number of remote zones defined should not exceed 200.

When there are several remote zones configured, they can be ranked by cost and priority value. A zone with a lower cost value and a higher priority value is given preference over others.

Examples

The following example configures the local gatekeeper to reach targets of the form xxx.cisco.com by sending queries to the gatekeeper named "sj3.cisco.com" at IP address 10.1.1.12.

Router(config)# gatekeeper
Router(config-gk)# zone remote sj3.cisco.com cisco.com 10.1.1.12

The following example shows how to configure the cost and priority for the gatekeeper "GK10" that serves zone 1.

Router(config)# gatekeeper
Router(config-gk)#  zone remote GK10 Zone1 209.165.200.224 cost 20 priority 5

12.0(3)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)T.


Usage Guidelines

You can use the zone subnet command more than once to create a list of subnets controlled by a gatekeeper. The subnet masks do not have to match actual subnets in use at your site. For example, to specify a particular endpoint, you can supply its address with a 32-bit netmask.
