NAME
gnugk - Open H323 Gatekeeper - The GNU Gatekeeper
SYNOPSIS
gnugk [-hdrt] [-c filename] [-s section] [-i IP] [-l n] [-b n] [-u name]
[-d name] [-rr] [-o filename] [--pid filename] [--core n]
DESCRIPTION
The GNU Gatekeeper is an open-source project that implements a H.323
gatekeeper. A H323 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.
Debug Information
-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.
