Figure 6-35 Process for Configuring MG-MGC Interfaces

Before you can configure MG-MGC interfaces, be sure you have completed the following steps:

Step 1 Add a resource partition to the node—See 6.7.1 Creating a Resource Partition for VXSM, page 6-63.

Step 2 Add an AAL5+control VXSM connection—See Chapter 7, “Provisioning Connections.”

Step 3 Create and assign an IP address for the connection—See 6.7.3 Creating and Assigning an IP Address

for the Connection, page 6-66.

To configure the interface between the Media Gateway (MG) and the Media Gateway Controller (MGC)

for either protocol, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Setup MGC and MGC groups—See 6.7.6.1 Setting Up MGCs and MGC Groups, page 6-79.

Step 2 Configure H.248 or XGCP protocol— See 6.7.6.2 Configuring H.248 Protocol and Profiles, page 6-87

or 6.7.6.3 Configuring XGCP Protocol, page 6-96.

Step 3 Configure the MGC profile—See 6.7.6.2 Configuring H.248 Protocol and Profiles, page 6-87 or

6.7.6.4 Configuring MGC XGCP Profiles, page 6-98.

Step 4 (Optional) Configure MGC redundancy—See 6.7.6.5 Configuring MGC Redundancy, page 6-101.
