You can view the general attributes of a selected directory gatekeeper group (DGKGrp) from the Design View or the Baseline View.
Expand the dial plan tree to view all components.
Select a directory gatekeeper group. The attributes tab is displayed.
Note: You can only add a zone circuit to a directory gatekeeper group if the CSR route type is set to trunk-label or carrier AND the VRC feature set is dp1.1 or later.
The following table describes the attributes of a directory gatekeeper group.
Note: Enhanced functionality attributes can only be viewed and edited if the VRC feature set for this directory gatekeeper group is set to dp1.1 or later.
General Attributes |
Description |
Name |
The name of the DGKGrp. Maximum value is 64 characters. |
Cluster Name |
The local cluster name assigned by this DGKGrp, if it is configured as clustered. Maximum value is 64 characters. If set, the local cluster name must be unique with respect to all unmanaged zone names, zone alias names, DGK local zone names, and cluster names of other DGKGrps. |
RAS Port |
The registration, admission, and status signaling port. The range is 1 to 65535. The default is 1719. |
Type |
The type of redundancy system used for this DGKGrp. The default is none.
|
Feature Set |
The VRC feature set supported by this DGKGrp. The default is dp1.0. |
Timeout |
The timer server timeout (100-ms units). The default is none. The range is 1 to 50. |
IRR Timer |
Set the IRR reporting interval which it sets on the gateway upon the gateway’s registration. This value can only be set if the VRC feature set is dp1.1 or later. The range is 1 to 60. |
Server Registration Port |
Configure a port for the gatekeeper to communicate with a Gatekeeper Transaction Message Protocol (GKTMP) server. The range is 1 to 65535. |
Server Flow Enabled |
Check this box if you want to enable flow control from the VRC server to the network device. The server flow control monitors the average response time from the server to the GKTMP. |
Server Flow High |
Can only be set if server flow is enabled. The onset percentage of the timeout value used to mark the server as usable or unusable. The range is 1 to 100. The default is 80. |
Server Flow Low |
Can only be set if server flow is enabled. The abatement percentage of the timeout value used to mark the server as usable or unusable. The range is 1 to 100. The default is 50. |
Max Queue Length |
Can only be set if server flow is enabled. The threshold for the length of the outbound queue on the gatekeeper. The TCP socket between the gatekeeper and GKTMP server queues messages if it has too many to transmit. If the count of outbound queue length on the server reaches this value, the server is marked unusable. The range is 1 to 2000. The default is 50. |
Enhanced Functionality |
Description |
Server Retry Timer |
Specifies the interval (in seconds) to wait between the detection of a server failure and the next attempt to connect to the failed server. This value can only be set if the VRC feature set is dp1.1 or later. The range is 1 to 300. |
Disable IRQ Global Request |
Disables global requests or call reference values (CRVs) set to zero for newly registering end-points. This value can only be set if the VRC feature set is dp1.1 or later. |
LRQ Reject Unknown Circuit |
Enables DGK rejection of LRQ messages that contain unknown destination carrier IDs descriptions. This value can only be set if the VRC feature set is dp1.1 AND the CSR route type is carrier or trunk-label. |
LRQ/ LRJ Immediate-Advance |
Enables the gatekeeper to immediately send a sequential location request (LRQ) to the next zone after it receives a location reject (LRJ) from a GK in the current zone. The default is not enabled. We recommend that you set this parameter if the VRC feature set for this DGKGrp is dp1.1 or later. |
LRQ Reject Resource Low |
If set, the gatekeeper rejects the interzone call if all gateways in that zone are marked as almost-out-of-resources. |
LRQ Receive Password |
The LRQ password that the directory gatekeeper assigns to the zones. Set this password to specify an internal regional password for directory gatekeeper communication. If it is not set, the default regional password is used. This parameter can only be set if the parent managed region role is set to regular and that region has the default LRQ password set. |
IZCT Password |
Enables generation of the interzone ClearToken (IZCT) password. The range is 6 to 8 alphanumeric characters. You can only set this parameter if the VRC feature set is dp1.1 or later. |
LRQ/ARQ Handling |
Description |
LRQ Reject Unknown |
Rejects LRQ messages for unknown zone prefixes. |
LRQ Forwarding |
Forwards E.164 Location Request (LRQ) messages to remote gatekeepers managing that zone prefix.
Note: VRC does not support simultaneous LRQs being sent on a gatekeeper for a specific zone prefix (LRQ blast), when multiple gatekeepers have the same prefix. |
LRQ Delay |
Time interval between successive LRQ messages (100-ms units). The range is 1 to 10. |
LRQ Window |
Defines the time window (in seconds) during which the gatekeeper collects responses to one or more outstanding LRQs. The range is 1 to 15. |
Validation State |
Indicates whether the Cisco VRC server can contact the element during the Validation process. An element is put in the unknown state when it is first activated. |
Details |
An optional text string that gives more details about the status of the element. Maximum value is 255 characters. |
