The Gateway Gatekeeper 642-453 GWGK is the exam associated with the CCVP certification. Candidates can prepare for this exam by taking the Gateway Gatekeeper (GWGK) course. This exam tests a candidate's knowledge of the implementation of Cisco gateways and gatekeepers, including integration of a VoIP network to both PSTN and TDM equipment. Topics covered include implementing dial plans and advanced gateway features such as SRST and DSP resources, implementing gatekeepers and directory gatekeepers to provide hierarchical dial plan resolution, and call admission control.
The following information provides general guidelines for the content likely to be included on this exam. However, other related topics may also appear on any specific delivery of the exam.
