OMMAND
Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) is a protocol that works hand-in-hand with H.323 and Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services. MGCP works between a call
agent or media gateway controller, usually a software switch, and a media gateway with internal endpoints.
The call agents create and manage media sessions with endpoints of physical or virtual data sources
through the media gateway. The media gateway is the network device that converts voice signals carried
by telephone lines into data packets carried over the Internet or other packet networks. In this network
structure, AOS products function as a media gateway.
To enable MGCP functionality, enter the ip mgcp command from the Global Configuration mode prompt
as follows:
>enable
#configure terminal
(config)#ip mgcp
(config)#
MGCP gateways communicate with internal MGCP endpoints. MGCP endpoints are dedicated foreign
exchange station (FXS) ports configured to use MGCP to communicate with a call agent. The endpoints
are configured with a few specialized MGCP commands and a large number of commands that are similar
to those used for voice user configuration.
To create an MGCP endpoint and access its configuration, enter the voice mgcp-endpoint <index>
command from the Global Configuration mode prompt as follows:
>enable
#configure terminal
(config)#voice mgcp-endpoint 1
(config-mgcp-1)#
The following configuration command set describes commands associated with configuring MGCP
endpoints. For more information about MGCP gateway and endpoint configuration, refer to the MGCP in
AOS configuration guide available online at
The following commands are common to multiple command sets and are covered in a centralized section
of this guide. For more information, refer to the sections listed below:
