Chapter 48 Configuring Inspection for Voice and Video Protocols
MGCP Inspection
The first four commands are sent by the call agent to the gateway. The Notify command is sent by the
gateway to the call agent. The gateway may also send a DeleteConnection. The registration of the MGCP
gateway with the call agent is achieved by the RestartInProgress command. The AuditEndpoint and the
AuditConnection commands are sent by the call agent to the gateway.
All commands are composed of a Command header, optionally followed by a session description. All
responses are composed of a Response header, optionally followed by a session description.
• The port on which the gateway receives commands from the call agent. Gateways usually listen to
UDP port 2427.
• The port on which the call agent receives commands from the gateway. Call agents usually listen to
UDP port 2727.
Note MGCP inspection does not support the use of different IP addresses for MGCP signaling and RTP data.
A common and recommended practice is to send RTP data from a resilient IP address, such as a loopback
or virtual IP address; however, the ASA requires the RTP data to come from the same address as MGCP
signalling.
