Configure the G700 Media Gateway
Issue 9.1 June 2006 503
Setting up the Controller List for the G700
To complete the configuration of the G700 media gateway, you need to administer a list of
primary and alternate controllers. This list begins with the IP address of the primary controller. In
the event that the G700 media gateway loses contact with its primary controller, it will seek to
re-register with the primary controller first, then with the other controllers on this list. The other
controllers are S8500 or S8700/S8710/S8720 media servers that can act as the primary
controller, or S8300 media servers configured as Local Survivable Processors (LSPs).
Up to four IP addresses separated by commas can be entered to form the controller list.
To set the MGP controller list
1. At the MG-???-n(configure)# prompt, type the following commands to designate the
primary, secondary, and LSP controllers for this G700:
a. clear mgc list
b. set mgc list <ip_address> [,<ip_address> [,<ip_address>
[,<ip_address>]]]
where, the first <ip_address> can be one of the following IP addresses:
● For an S8700-series primary controller, the IP address of a C-LAN board that is
connected to the primary controller.
● For an S8400 or S8500 primary controller, the IP address of either a C-LAN board that
is connected to the primary controller, or an Ethernet port, on the server itself, that has
been enabled for processor Ethernet connections.
● For an S8300 primary controller, the IP address of the S8300.
The next three <ip_address> parameters are optional IP addresses of up to three
alternate controllers. Each of the three optional controllers can be a second C-LAN
connected to the primary controller (S8400, S8500, or S8700-series Media Servers), an
S8300 configured as an LSP, or the port enabled as the Ethernet processor port on an
S8500 configured as an LSP. The types of alternate controllers in the list depend on the
G700’s primary controller and the other controller devices it supports.

CAUTION:
CAUTION: If you need to change the mgc list, you must run clear mgc list before
running set mgc list again. You can also remove a single address in the list
with the command clear mgc list <ip address>.
