Mediant 8000
31.6 Domain Name Provisioning
The MEGACO endpoint termination identifiers have two components:
Endpoint Name – a local name within the gateway
Domain Name – the domain name of the gateway that is managing the endpoint
These components are delimited by the @ symbol. An example of this is:
<Endpoint Name>@<Domain Name>
For configuring the Endpoint Name part, see ‘Endpoint Name Provisioning via
Termination Name Patterns‘ above.
The Domain Name part may be configured via the FQDN name parameter of the
Media Gateway board:
If the FQDN name is empty or equals "none" (default configuration), the IP
address of the Media Gateway board surrounded by square brackets is used as
the domain name.
If the criteria above is not met, the configured FQDN name is used as domain
name.
31.7 MEGACO Virtual Gateways
The Mediant 8000 supports MEGACO Virtual Gateway functionality, as defined in the
H.248.1 spec, section 11.1 “Multiple Virtual MGs”. Each Media Gateway board may be
divided into up to three virtual gateways (VGWs). Each virtual gateway registers and
operates autonomously with its own controlling MGC(s).
Note: Virtual Gateway functionality is available for MEGACO call control protocol
only.
To activate MEGACO Virtual Gateway functionality:
1. Set the Media Gateway Controller’s (MGC’s) call control protocol to MEGACO.
2. Define Virtual Gateway (VGW) configuration objects for the specific Media
Gateway board. Specify E1/T1 trunks that belong to the specific Virtual Gateway.
3. Associate MGC with a specific Media Gateway board.
4. Use the Virtual GW parameter in MGC’s IP/FQDN address to associate it with a
specific Virtual Gateway.
