Understanding Sessions
The following table summarizes the Cisco WebViewer support for MGCP:
Understanding Sessions
The session manager organizes individual sessions into groups and sets (see Figure 7-2).
Figure 7-2 Organization of Sessions
The backhaul sessions and groups include the following components:
• Session—A connection between two points, defined by a local IP address and port and a remote IP
address and port. The Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway supports four sessions per set, two for each
session group.
• Session Group—A collection of one or more sessions for a single MGC. Typically, the individual
sessions implement network redundancy. The Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway supports two
session groups per set.
• Session Set—A collection of session groups, typically used to group session groups for redundant
MGCs. The Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway supports up to six session sets for a total of up to 24
sessions.
When adding sessions, you create a structure that supports reliable operation. The goal for a fully
redundant system is to provide multiple management sessions to multiple MGCs via multiple physical
networks (see Figure 7-3).
