These objects specify the IP interfaces that the SBC will utilize for telephony, management, and system debugging traffic.
IP Interface Groups are a primary tool for accomplishing disjoint networks (administrative network separation). An IP Interface Group is the local manifestation of a segregated network domain.
Each signaling port within an Address Context must use a unique IP address and port number combination.
The SBC 7000 system supports creating IP Interface Groups containing sets of IP interfaces that are not "processor friendly" (i.e. carried on physical Ethernet ports served by separate processors). However, restrictions exist regarding the usage of such Interface Groups.
(This ability does not apply to the SBC 5400 system which have only two physical media ports. IP interfaces from the two physical ports may be configured within the same IP Interface Groups without restrictions.)
For complete details, refer to Configuring IP Interface Groups and Interfaces.
View an IP Interface Group
From the main menu, go to Configuration > System Provisioning > Category: Base Provisioning > IP Interface Group to open the IP Interface Group window.
Figure 1: System Provisioning - IP Interface Group
The IP Interface Group can be checked for each Address Context or for all the Address Contexts created. Use the drop-down box to select the desired Address Context.
Edit an IP Interface Group
To edit any of the IP Interface Groups in the list, click the radio button next to the specific IP Interface Group name.
The Edit Selected IP Interface Group window is displayed below.

The following fields are displayed:
Table 1: IP Interface Group Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
| The name of the IP interface group. |
| The administrative state of a resource. Administrative state of the IPsec support for this interface group. • Note: PING does not work when IPSec is enabled on the IP interface. |
Enter all the required fields. You can click Show only required fields at the left hand bottom of the panel to view and enter only the required fields to create a IP Interface Group.
Delete an IP Interface Group
To delete any of the created IP Interface Group, click the radio button next to the specific IP Interface Group which you want to delete.
Click Delete at the end of the highlighted row. This will open a delete confirmation message.
Click Yes to remove the specific IP Interface Group from the list.
