Prior to installing the SBC you need to have some information on hand to define the VM's communication interfaces and network configuration on the VMWare or KVM Host. Create an IP Plan prior to installing the SBC SWe software. It is important to record the IP information so that your system information is readily available when you begin installing the software. Maintain this information as a reference for future configuration changes.
The following tables provide example SBC IP plan information. The following table shows an example of IP information needed for the VMware or KVM Host.

Create an IP Plan prior to installing the SBC software. The IP Plan is generally completed using an Excel spreadsheet, and is intended to capture information such as hostname, logical IP addresses, and so forth to help configure the SBC system. It is important to complete this document (even for simple networks) so your system information is readily available when you begin installing the software, and to maintain this information as a reference for future configuration changes.

SBC SWe System Information | Description | Example/Recommendation | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SBC System Name | This is the name of the overall SBC system, and is used as the designation of all servers within HA pair. See System Name and Hostname Conventions for naming conventions. If external routing is used, the system name is referred to by the PSX. You MUST use the same name on the Active and Standby system installation. | DALVSBC01 | ||
| Local Host/Node name (ceName) | Name of the primary server. Typical naming convention is "<system name>a". A best practice is to include the "a" suffix even for stand-alone systems to facilitate easy upgrade to HA in the future. | DALVSBC01a | ||
| Peer Host/Node name (ceName) | (HA only) Name of the secondary server. Typical naming convention is "<system name>b". | DALVSBC01b, or none | ||
| Server Role | Specifies the role of the SBC VM. | Active/Standby | ||
| Time zone | The time zone used in your billing records. Can be the time zone of the location of the SBC system.
| gmtMinus06-Central- US | ||
| SBC SWe System Contact | Contact name and phone number to use for physical support. | Joe Smith 888-555-1212 | ||
| SBC SWe System Location | Physical location of the system. | Dallas, TX | ||
| NTP Primary IP Address | The primary IPv4 or IPv6 address of the NTP server. A NTP source is necessary for correct system operation. | 10.11.12.2/24 or fd00:10:6b50:4130:1 | ||
| NTP Secondary IP Address | The optional secondary IPv4 or IPv6 address of the NTP server. | 10.11.12.3/24 or fd00:10:6b50:4130:2 | ||
| TIPC NETID | Specifies unique Transparent Inter-process Communication (TIPC) network communications protocol network identity. This network identity must be same in both active and standby VMs for inter-process communication. Recommendation is to use default value when configured for single HA pair on HA subnet (subnet for HA ports of active/standby).
| 1500 (default) | ||
| Logical Management IP Address | This IP address can be used to access the active unit, it is not tied to a particular physical unit. When a unit becomes active, this IP address “moves” to that unit. Logical management IP address should be from same subnet as the physical management IPs. | 10.11.13.3 (or any IP address within the Management IP subnet) | ||
| Logical Management IP Address Name | The name of the Logical Management IP (used for reference purposes only). | DALNBS01_MGMT | ||
|
| |||
| Packet Ports | ||||
| Packet Port 0 IP Address | The IP address of the pkt0 interface. SIP and RTP traffic use this physical interface. This IP address is used for RTP traffic (SIP traffic uses a different IP address). | 10.11.14.1 | ||
| Packet Port 0 VLAN | The VLAN tag of the pkt0 interface (optional). | 100 | ||
| Packet Port 0 Netmask | The Netmask of the pkt0 interface (in “prefix” format). | /24 | ||
| Packet Port 1 IP Address | The IP address of the pkt1 interface. SIP and RTP traffic use this physical interface. This IP address is used for RTP traffic (SIP traffic uses a different IP address). | 10.11.15.1 | ||
| Packet Port 1 VLAN | The VLAN tag of the pkt1 interface (optional). | 200 | ||
| Packet Port 1 Netmask | The Netmask of the pkt1 interface (in “prefix” format). | /24 | ||
HA Ports (not applicable for stand-alone configuration) | ||||
| ||||
| Active CE IP | Specifies the active VM IP address in HA pair. The Active CE uses this IP which is configured to the HA port to communicate/synchronize/mirror the data with the Standby CE. These Inter CE IP addresses should be in a different network from the management network. Recommendation is to use default value when configured for single HA pair on HA subnet (subnet for HA ports of active/standby). | 169.254.99.1 (default)
| ||
| Standby CE IP | Specifies the standby VM IP address in HA pair. The Standby CE uses this IP which is configured to the HA port to communicate/synchronize/mirror the data with the Active CE. These Inter CE IP addresses should be in a different network from the management network. Recommendation is to use default value when configured for single HA pair on HA subnet (subnet for HA ports of active/standby). | 169.254.88.1 (default) | ||
| HA Interface Mask (Inter CE Prefix) | Netmask of the network in which the Active/Standby IPs are configured.
| 255.255.0.0 (default) | ||
| Management Ports | ||||
| ||||
| 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 | ||
| Primary Management IPv6 Address | This specifies the physical management IPv6 address associated with the primary management network. | fd00:10:6b50:4300::10b | ||
| Primary Management IPv6 Prefix Length (0-128) | This specifies the prefix of the primary management network. | 60 | ||
| Primary Management Gateway IPv6 Address | This specifies the default gateway IPv6 address associated with the primary management network. | fd00:10:6b50:4300::1 | ||
