Primary Management IPv4 Address

This specifies the physical management IPv4 address associated with the primary management network.

10.11.13.10

Primary Management Network Mask

This specifies the Netmask of the primary management network.

255.255.255.0

Primary Management  Gateway IPv4 Address

This specifies the default gateway IPv4 address associated with the primary management network.

10.11.13.1

System Name

A unique name of the overall SBC system, limited to alphanumeric characters: A-Z (uppercase), 0-9. The first character must be an uppercase letter (A-Z)

System Name is used for billing, external PSX queries (if applicable), and system logs

WFDSBC01

• The first three letters represent the physical location of the system, e.g. Westford = WFD
• The second three letters identify the system type (SBC)
• The last two digits identify the SBC instance

Local Hostname

The hostname of the local SBC SWe host in the network

Typical naming convention is "<system name>a"

WFDSBC01a

Peer Hostname

The hostname name of the peer SBC SWe host in the network

Typical naming convention is "<system name>b"

For standalone configuration, Peer Hostname is "none".

If you plan to upgrade to an HA configuration in the future, you can save a step by configuring the Peer Hostname now (e.g. WFDSBC01b). Then at a later date, you can simply install the standby peer and connect the HA cable.

Server Role

The role of the SBC SWe (Active or Standby)

In a standalone configuration, the server role is 'Active'.

Active CE IP

IP address assigned to the HA interface of the configured Active SBC, used in an HA configuration for e.g. synchronization

Not used for standalone configuration, use default value (169.254.99.1).

Standby CE IP

IP address assigned to the HA interface of the configured Standby SBC, used in an HA configuration for e.g. synchronization

Not used for standalone configuration, use default value (169.254.88.1).

HA Interface Mask (Inter CE Prefix)

Netmask of the network in which the Active/Standby IPs are configured

Not used for standalone configuration, use default value (255.255.0.0).

TIPC NETID

The SBC SWe uses the unique Transparent Inter-process Communication (TIPC) protocol ID to communicate between active and standby VMs. Use the same TIPC network ID (between 1000 and 9999) for both active and standby systems.

Not used for standalone configuration, use 1500 (default).

Default value can also be used If you plan to upgrade to an HA configuration in the future.

NTP Server IP

The IP address (supports both v4 and v6) of the NTP server. A NTP source is necessary for correct system operation.

E.g. 10.35.66.34

NTP Server Time Zone

The time zone of the NTP server location

E.g. (GMT – 5:00) Eastern-US

Active SBC SWe Primary Management IPv4 Address

This specifies the physical management IPv4 address associated with the primary management network.

10.11.13.10

Active SBC SWe Primary Management Network Mask

This specifies the Netmask of the primary management network.

255.255.255.0

Active SBC SWe Primary Management Default Gateway

This specifies the default gateway IPv4 address associated with the primary management network.

10.11.13.1

fd00:10:6b50:4300::10b

Standby SBC SWe Primary Management IPv4 Address

This specifies the physical management IPv4 address associated with the primary management network.

10.11.14.10

Standby SBC SWe Primary Management Network Mask

This specifies the Netmask of the primary management network.

255.255.255.0

Standby SBC SWe Primary Management Default Gateway

This specifies the default gateway IPv4 address associated with the primary management network.

10.11.14.1

System Name

System Name is used for billing, external PSX queries (if applicable), and system logs and must be a unique name throughout the SBC system.

SBC naming is limited to alphanumeric characters: A-Z (uppercase), 0-9. The first character must be an uppercase letter (A-Z).

WFDSBC01

• The first three letters represent the physical location of the system, e.g. Westford = WFD.
• The second three letters identify the system type (SBC).
• The last two digits identify the SBC instance.

Local Hostname

The hostname of the local SBC SWe host in the network.

Typical naming convention is "<system name>a".

WFDSBC01a

Peer Hostname

The hostname name of the peer SBC SWe host in the network.

Typical naming convention is "<system name>b".

WFDSBC01b

Server Role

The role of the SBC SWe (Active or Standby).

'Active' or 'Standby'.

Active Primary CE IP

IP address assigned to the HA interface of the configured Active SBC, used in an HA configuration for e.g. synchronization.

169.254.99.1
