Understanding MGCP
This section describes how to configure and view MGCP (Media Gateway Control Protocol). The
following diagram shows how to configure MGCP IP addresses in a fullyredundant system (see
Figure 7-1).
Figure 7-1 MGCP Addresses and Ports
A non-redundant system consists of a primary MGC network, the Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway, and
an IP network. You can add the secondary network or MGC for more reliable operation.
Configuring MGCP
To configure MGCP, you perform the following tasks:
• Set the domain name
• Set IP addresses and ports—The primary MGC, secondary MGC, and local addresses
• Configure MGCP core settings—The protocol timers and retry settings
• View message statistics
• Set MPC scalars—The voice channel encoding type, echo cancellation, and so on
