Managing the PGCP Process

You can stop and start the PGCP process in any or these ways:

Restart the PGCP process. In this procedure, the PGCP process is considered configured.
Disable and enable the PGCP process. In this procedure, the PGCP process is considered configured.
Activate and deactivate the PGCP service.

The packet gateway controller (PGC) cannot send add, modify, or subtract commands to the PGCP process.

Restarting the PGCP Process

Caution: We recommend that you do not restart the software process unless instructed to do so by a Juniper Networks customer support engineer. A restart might cause the router to drop calls and interrupt transmission.

Three options are available when you restart the PGCP process:

gracefully—Restart the software process after calls have ended.
immediately—Immediately restart the software process.
soft— Reread and reactivate the configuration without completely restarting the software process.

To restart the PGCP process, enter the restart pgcp-service command in operational mode:



user@host>restart pgcp-service immediately

When you restart the PGCP process, the process is stopped and then restarted.

Disabling and Enabling the PGCP Process
