RAMP support only

Beginning with SBC Core release 12.0, the SBC interoperates with the Ribbon Application Management Platform (RAMP), replacing the Insight 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 apply to the RAMP platform.

Note

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.

Ems IP Address

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.
