Which parameter should be set to prevent H.323 endpoints from registering to Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server automatically?
A. On the VCS, navigate to Configuration, Protocols, H.323, and set Auto Discover to off.
B. On the VCS, navigate to Configuration, Protocols, H.323, and set Auto Registration to off.
C. On the VCS, navigate to Configuration, Registration, Allow List, and set Auto Registration to off.
D. On the VCS, navigate to Configuration, Registration, Configuration, and set Auto Registration to off.
This answer is only correct because of the “please pick the least stupid answer” strategy that you need to adopt when taking Cisco tests.
“Auto Discover = Off” simply stops the VCS responding to multicast Gatekeeper discovery requests. If an endpoint is configured in the normal way (i.e. with the IP or FQDN of the VCS), it will still register ‘automatically’.
Although I agree with you on the statement and mentality of Cisco testing and answers, Cisco has ALWAYS separated Automatic with Manual in the sense that, Manual requires you to enter specific fields like an IP address or FQDN. Automatic on the other hand is a device that is “found”, “discovered”, or falls in line with a general setting, and configures itself (like auto-registering phones).
