NOTE:
The Total Search Timer value should be greater than the Primary Search Timer but shorter
than the Link Loss Delay Timer.

Establish the Transition Point by typing set mgp reset transition-point <n>, where <n> is the
numbered element in the MGC list.
For example, if n= 2, the Transition Point is after the second element in the list. That is, the
gateway first attempts reconnecting with its original C-LAN circuit pack and then tries one other
alternate resource during the Primary Search Timer period. See
page 132 for more information about the Link Recovery timers.
Administering the MGC list
You can administer the gateway with a list of up to 4 alternate resources (TN799DP C-LAN circuit packs
or LSPs) that it can connect to in the event of link failure. The MGC list consists of the IP addresses to
contact and the order in which to re-establish the H.248 link.
To administer the MGC list
1
At the gateway’s Command Line Interface (CLI) type set mgc list <ipaddress>, <ipaddress>,
<ipaddress>,<ipaddress>, where:
•
The first element is the IP address of the primary server (S8300) or the primary C-
LAN circuit pack (S8700).
•
The next three elements are the IP addresses of 1-3 LSPs (S8300s configured as
such) or of any other C-LAN circuit packs in the primary server’s configuration
(S8700).
There are a total of 4 elements in this list.
2
Reset the gateway by typing reset mgp.
Wait for the LEDs on the gateway and Media Modules to go out and the active status LEDs on the
gateway to go on, indicating that the reset is complete.
3
Check the MGC list administration by typing show mgc.
Look in the CONFIGURED MGC HOST section for the IP addresses of the alternate resources.
