Accessing the registered MGC

Last Updated : Sep 29, 2020 |

Procedure

Access the MGC according to the following:
  1. If the MGC is an S8300 Server, enter session mgc

    The session mgc does not work on an IPv6–only Branch Gateway.

  2. If the MGC is an S88xx, Dell or HP, use the set mediaserver command to manually define the MGC’s IP address, and then enter session mgc to access the MGC.
  3. If the Branch Gateway includes a local S8300, enter session icc to access the S8300. You can use this command whether the local S8300 is the Branch Gateway’s registered MGC.

    Both the session mgc command and the session icc command open a telnet connection to the MGC.

    Use the session mgc on an S8300D running VSP.

  4. To open a connection directly to the CM System Access Terminal (SAT) application in the MGC, add sat to the command.

    For example:

    Gxxx-001(super)# session mgc sat
  5. To open a connection to the MGC’s LINUX operating system, do not add sat to the command.

    For example:

    Gxxx-001(super)# session mgc
