2x1 Gbps or 4x1 Gbps To 1x10 Gbps Media Interface Upgrade Procedure

This section explains the procedures procedure to upgrade the media interfaces in SBC 5400.

Pre-requisites

1. SBC 5400 should be running on 05.01.00R000 or higher version.
2. Procure the required media interface licenses. Refer to   SBC 5400 Media Ports and Operational Modes to know the all the media interface licenses.Upload the
3. procured licenses to SBC. Refer  To Install License Bundle for more informationAccess to original and all the subsequent licenses. Refer to SBC 5400 Interface Modes and Media Port Assignments table for the required licenses.
4. Save all your current configuration. Refer to  Saving the SBC Configuration to know about how to save your existing SBC configuration. If you wish to return to 1 Gbps interface mode of operation, you can use the saved configuration. The 1 Gbps configuration cannot be applied/imported to 10 Gbps interface mode.
5. Keep the Sonus-approved 10 Gb SFPs ready for each of the SBC 5400 systems identified for this Media Interface change.

Procedure

The following procedure is applicable only when you upgrade from 2x1 GbGbps or 4x1 GbGbps to 1x10 GbGbps interface mode.

1. Log on to SBC 5400 BMC GUI using the credentials: username: root and password: superuser.

8. Click OK to proceed.
9. Remove and store each of the 1 Gb SFPs that are present in the 4 media port slots labeled as Media x where x=0, 1, 2 and 3. Place the Sonus-approved 10 Gb SFP in the Media 0 slot. Refer to Connecting SBC 5400 Ethernet and Data Cables to know more about SFP selection, handling and replacement instructions.
10. Navigate to Remote Control > Server Power Control. The Power Control and Status window is displayed.

11. Select Power On Server. The

    BMC

    Server and the SBC Application starts.

12. Once the SBC comes up, log on to the application using the default credentials admin/admin. Change you password immediately to proceed further. Refer to   EMA Mode - Login Window to know more about application login credentials.
13. Install the license, "SBC-1X10GMP", on both Active and Standby SBCs. Refer To Install License Bundle for more information.
14. Log on to SBC 5400 Application EMA.

15. Navigate to Monitoring > Dashboard > System Status. The System Status window is displayed. Under the Server Status panel, the Pkt Port Speed column provides the speed of the media interface port.

At this stage, the existing previous configuration is completely erased. Configure the application as per your needs. Refer to How to Set up a Basic Call Flow to start with you a fresh configuration.

2x1 Gbps To 4x1 Gbps Media Interface Upgrade Procedure

This section explains the procedures to upgrade the media interfaces in SBC 5400.

Pre-requisites

1. SBC 5400 should be running on 05.01.00R000 or higher version.
2. Procure the required media interface licenses. Refer to SBC 5400 Media Ports and Operational Modes to know the all the for an explanation of media port speeds and required media interface licenses.
3. Access to original and all the subsequent licenses. Refer to SBC 5400 Interface Modes and Media Port Assignments table for the required licenses.

4. For a 2x1 Gbps Media Interface, the Media slots 0 and 1 are already occupied with 1 Gb SFPs. Navigate to Monitoring > Dashboard > Ports > Ethernet Ports > Packet Port Status. The Packet Port Status window is displayed. Observe that only the Pkt0 and Pkt1 ports are in Enabled state and the other two are in Disabled state stating no license.

5. Place the Sonus-approved 1 Gb SFPs in the Media 2 and 3 slots (on both Active and Stanby SBC 5400s). Refer to Connecting SBC 5400 Ethernet and Data Cables to know more about SFP selection, handling and replacement instructionsSave all your current configuration. Refer to Saving the SBC Configuration to know about how to save your existing SBC configuration. If you wish to return to 1 Gbps interface mode of operation, you can use the saved configuration. The 1 Gbps configuration cannot be applied/imported to 10 Gbps interface mode.

Procedure

The following procedure is applicable only when you upgrade from 2x1 Gbps to 4x1 Gbps interface mode.

1. Log on to SBC 5400 BMC GUI using the credentials: username: root and password: superuser.

   At this point the changes made to the Management Interfaces are not applied to SBC Application. Re-install the SBC application for this changes to get implemented.Once the SBC comes up, log on to the application using the default credentials admin/admin. Change you password immediately to proceed further. Refer to EMA Mode - Login Window to know more about application login credentials

   .

8. Navigate to Monitoring > Dashboard > System > Ports > Ethernet Ports > Packet Port Status. The System Packet Port Status window is displayed. Under the Server Status panel, the Pkt Port Speed column provides the speed of the media interface port.
   The packet ports Pkt2 and Pkt3 are in the enabled state since, the Sonus-approved 1 Gb SFPs are added to Media slots 2 and 3 along with the required license, "SBC-4X1GMP".

   Note
   Add the Sonus-approved 1 Gb SFPs and the license: "SBC-4X1GMP", to both Active and Standby SBC 5400s.
   Note
   For 2x1 Gbps and 4x1 Gbps media interface modes, SBC EMA only displays the Pkt Port Speed (Speed 1 Gbps) but does not mention if it is a 2x1 Gbps or 4x1 Gbps media interface mode. It is displayed only in the BMC Platform Management Network Settings screen (step 2 of this procedure).
