Bill, In reference to using or not using:
h323-gateway voip interface (Used for Gatekeeper Configurations) The "h323-gateway voip interface" command dictates the source address that being used to communicate with gatekeeper. Unfortunately some are under the misunderstanding that this "must" me the loopback add which of course we know not to be true. h323-gateway voip bind srcaddr (Used to build the H323 Gateway) Sets the source IP address to be used for this H323 gateway. The ip address attribute indicates the address to be used as the source IP address for the gateway. Use this command for the interface that contains the IP address to which you want to bind for all H323 traffic. Caveat: I had an associate that argued vehemently that the h323-gateway voip interface command was required when setting up the H323 Gateway and explained that he had it up and running in his lab. I looked at his lab and sure enough the command was there and NOT registered to his gatekeeper. After further inspection I realized he had NOT enabled the gateway command on his H323 gateway. So you can get away with using it, not correct, by not enabling the gateway command or just do it the right way. Thanks Bill for all the valuable information regarding the use of these commands.
