MGC-Specified Local Addresses and Ports


The MGC (media gateway controller) can program flows on a specific local address, port, or both, using H.248 protocol add and modify requests rather than the choose wildcard. If either of these values is left unconfigured, the DBE specifies the address or port according to one of the DBE-managed address ranges.

Restrictions to MGC-Specified Local Addresses and Ports

The DBE will fail call setup under the following circumstances:

Requested address and port do not belong to a range configured with the appropriate class of service for the flow on the DBE, resulting in the following error: Megaco error 421 - Unknown action or illegal combination of actions.

Media port requested with odd port number, resulting in the following error: Megaco error 500 - Internal software failure.

Request was to exchange the local address and port for an existing flow, resulting in the following error: Megaco error 501 - Not Implemented.

Requested address and/or port already in use by another flow, or were in use by a recently deleted flow, resulting in the following error: Megaco error 510 - Insufficient Resources.

This feature has the following additional restrictions:

Real-time transport protocol (RTP) flows cannot be configured to use odd-numbered ports.

The media address or the media address pool should belong to the subnet of the SVI interface address. Otherwise, DBE returns: Megaco error 510 - Insufficient Resources.

Information About MGC-Specified Local Addresses and Ports

The following example illustrates an address pool and port configured in DBE and MGC. An add request specifies local address/port on the DBE.

media-address pool ipv4 88.88.17.10 88.88.17.20
  port-range 3000 7000 signaling
  port-range 16384 20000 voice

Issuing a MGC add request to specify the local address/port on DBE:

AU=0x12345678:0x90ABCDEF:0x000000000000000000000000123456
!/3 [91.91.173.126]:2947 T=3 {
C = $ { 
A = cisco/sip/gn/0/1/0/1/ac/$ {
M {
TS {SI=OS},
ST = 1 {
O {MO=SR},
L {
v=0
c=IN IP4 88.88.17.1
m=application 5060 udp 0},
R {

c=IN IP4 10.10.127.24

A = cisco/sip/gn/0/1/0/1/ac/$ {

R {
