Adding a Gateway Priority

Use the gateway priority option to define how the gatekeeper selects gateways in its local zone for calls to numbers beginning with the associated e164-prefix.

A prefix gateway priority is an entry in the priority list maintained by the gatekeeper for every local zone prefix.

Note: Do not use this option to set priority levels for a prefix assigned to a remote gatekeeper.

Use this procedure to assign a priority value for a zone prefix on a gateway.
