DESCRIPTION¶
The GNU Gatekeeper is an open-source project that implements a H.323 gatekeeper.
A H.323 gatekeeper controls all H.323 clients in its zone. It allows you,
among other things, to register devices, make calls, perform AAA
(Authentication, Authorization and Auditing), manage configurations at runtime
and traverse NAT.
OPTIONS¶
The behavior of the gatekeeper is determined through command line options and
the configuration file. Some command line options may override settings found
in the configuration file. For example, the option
-l
overrides the setting "TimeToLive" in the configuration file. Almost
every option has a short and a long format, e.g.,
-c is the
same as
--config.
- -h
--help
-
Show all available options and quit the program.
- -c
--config filename
- Specify the configuration file to use.
- -s
--section section
- Specify which main section to use in the configuration
file. The default is [Gatekeeper::Main].
- -i
--interface IP
- Specify the IP address that the gatekeeper listens to. You
should leave out this option to let the gatekeeper automatically determine
the IP it listens to, unless you want the gatekeeper to bind to a
specified IP.
- -l
--timetolive n
- Specify the time-to-live timer (in seconds) for endpoint
registration. This overrides the setting "TimeToLive" in the
configuration file. A detailed explanation can be found in the
manual.
- -b
--bandwidth n
- Specify the total bandwidth available for the gatekeeper.
Without specifying this option, bandwidth management is disabled by
default.
- --pid
filename
- Specify the pid file. Only valid for Unix version.
- -u
--user name
- Run the gatekeeper process as this user. Only valid for
Unix versions.
- --core
n
- (Unix only) Enable writing core dump files when the
application crashes. A core dump file will not exceed n bytes in size. A
special constant "unlimited" may also be specified.
Gatekeeper Mode¶
The options in this subsection override the settings in the [RoutedMode] section
of the configuration file.
- -d
--direct
- Use direct endpoint call signaling.
- -r
--routed
- Use gatekeeper routed call signaling.
- -rr
--h245routed
- Use gatekeeper routed call signaling and H.245 control
channel.
- -o
--output filename
- Write trace log to the specified file.
- -t
--trace
- Set trace verbosity. The more -t you add, the more verbose
to output. For example, use -ttttt to set the trace level to 5.
