[cisco-voip] Gatekeeper architecture question

[Jonathan Charles]

No.

You need one gatekeeper... however, if it is down, so is video communications...

(there are other solutions for this... but one should be sufficient
with just five sites... I have one GK for 12 sites, but the remotes
just talk to the main site, so if the main is down, no one cares)...

Basically, you need to scale this up to your redundancy needs (aka,
how many gatekeepers do you need to be able to sleep at night?).

Anyway.

Here's what you do. Drop a GK at the main site, have all of the video
devices register to it. Define the CAC and bandwidth on it (using zone
bandwidths) and you will be fine...
