Beginning with release 12.0, the SBC Core supports the Ribbon Application Management Platform (RAMP), which replaces the EMS.
However, the EMA, CLI and API will continue to include EMS-labeled parameters and screens to facilitate SBC migrations from older releases. Accordingly, any references to "EMS" in this documentation pertain to the RAMP platform.
In this section:
This configuration only applies to (and is visible in) SBC SWe virtualized deployments.
Use the Ems window to specify the RAMP with which the SBC will register. If the SBC is currently registered with a RAMP, its IP address is shown.
To enable dynamic Service Discovery of the EMS IP Address you must specify a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) as the target for RAMP registration. By using Service Discovery and an FQDN, the SBC can maintain registration with an EMS server without the need for re-initiating whenever a RAMP IP address changes. For more information on using Service Discovery, refer to Service Discovery for Trap Target Destinations and RAMP Registration.
To View RAMP Configuration
On the SBC main screen, go to All > System > Ems
The Ems window opens.

To Edit RAMP Configuration
To specify a RAMP FQDN:
- In Ems FQDN, enter an FQDN of up to 128 characters
- Click Save.
The following table describes the parameters in the Edit EMS window (above).
Table 1: Edit Ems Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Ems IP Address | Displays the IP address of a RAMP with which the SBC is currently registered. |
Ems FQDN | Specifies an FQDN (up to 128 characters) of the RAMP server to use for EMS registration. Refer to Configuring Service Discovery for Trap Destinations and RAMP Registration for information on FQDN naming conventions. Changing this value requires an SBC reboot to take effect. |
You cannot copy or delete a RAMP configuration.
