Administration of the Avaya G350 Media Gateway - Avaya Support

Configuring the Media Gateway Controller (MGC)The following is an example of the set mgc list command:G350-001> set mgc list 132.236.73.2, 132.236.73.3, 132.236,73.4,132.236.73.5If the media server with the IP address 132.236.73.2 is available, that media server becomesthe G350’s MGC. If that server is not available, the G350 searches for the next media server onthe list, and so on.To determine the result of the set mgc list command, use the show mgc command. Thiscommand has the following output:●●●Registered — indicates whether or not the G350 is registered with an MGC (YES or NO).Active Controller — displays the IP address of the active MGC. If there is no active MGC(i.e., if the set mgc list command failed to configure an MGC), this field displays255.255.255.255.H248 Link Status — indicates whether the communication link between the G350 and theMGC is up or down.● H248 Link Error Code — if there is a communication failure between the G350 and theMGC, this field displays the error code.To show the current MGC list, use the show mgc list command. This command shows theIP addresses of the MGCs on the MGC list.To remove one or more MGCs from the MGC list, use the clear mgc list command. Typethe IP address of the MGC you want to remove as an argument to remove that MGC. You canremove more than one MGC with one command by typing the IP addresses of all the MGCs youwant to remove, separated by commas. To remove all the MGCs on the list, use the clearmgc list command with no arguments.To change the G350’s MGC list:1. Use the clear mgc list command with no arguments to clear the MGC list.2. Use the set mgc list command with a different set of IP addresses.Note:Note:If you use the set mgc list command without first clearing the MGC list, theG350 simply adds the new MGCs to the end of the MGC list.Issue 3 January 2005 53
