Summary Gatekeeper configuration steps are done in the gatekeeper configuration mode on Cisco IOS routers. A single gatekeeper can manage multiple local and remote zones. A zone prefix is the part of the called number that identifies the zone to which a call hops off. Zone prefixes are usually used to associate an area code to a configured zone. A technology prefix is an optional H.323 standards-based feature, supported by Cisco gateways and gatekeepers, that enables more flexibility in call routing within an H.323 VoIP network.

Summary (Cont.) Cisco IOS routers can be registered as gateways with gatekeepers. The VoIP dial peer determines how to direct calls that originate from a local voice port into the VoIP cloud to the RAS session target. Several show and debug commands exist for troubleshooting and verifying gatekeeper configuration.
