Hey Jeff, all the child pages under this were recommended by Pete. After going through the content of this page, it looks like we could get by with just one or two child pages, if that.... it's probably no complicated enough to warrant to many children. |

The interface mapping shell script requests that the user provide the interface name to map the interface as shown in the WebUI. The MAC address identified previously in the virtual machine editing portion of this procedure is required in order to correctly map the interface. The interface name and MAC address are required to properly activate the interface and have it appear on the WebUI. |
Ensure the admin port is connected to a network with DHCP server enabled.
Info |

If the network mapping and connection are correct, the Admin IP address will display on the console port. If the Admin IP address does not display, check the connections and network mapping. |

The latest SBC SWeLite plateform build is alpha build 12 and located at this link \\192.168.2.230\Software\VSBC-Platform-Releases\ESXi\SBC3000v6.1.0.Alpha.B12.ova
Click the File on the top of the menu, in the pull down menu, select Deploy OVF Template, it will pop up an deploy window.
place the SBC SWeLite build link or ova files to the source window
The build link example:
(\\192.168.2.230\Software\VSBC-Platform-Releases\ESXi\SBC3000v6.1.0.Alpha.B12.ova)
(\\fmt-automation.e.sonusnet.com\builds\Chorus\Test\FLUTE\FLUTE build 40\esxi\SBCSWeLite-release-6.1.0.build40\esxi\SBCSWeLite-release-6.1.0.build40.ova)
Hit next and next go to the Name and Location template, you should change the name of the SBC SWeLite. The reason is we sharing this ESXi server, ever one can see all the other person's SBC SWeLites. To avoid accidental duplicate or delete other person's SBC SWeLite. I suggest use this format: SBCSWeLitename.buildnumber_yourName_IPaddressLastNumber. For example SBCSWeLite.B12_nanyi_100; or SBC3000.B12_nanyi_100; which means I will use IP address 10.56.230.100 as management port, and IP address 10.56.227.100 as media port.
Hit next go to Disk format
Hit next goto Network Mapping
To change the media port network interface; select the network interface on the pull down menu from the Destination Networks:
Hit next will go to Ready to Complete page, and Hit finish you create your SBC SWeLite !!
The default SBC SWeLite comes with 512MB memory, 1 CPU and Five Network interfaces. You need to gather the MAC address information for each interface to further configure the SBC SWeLite interfaces from the console; therefore, you must edit he virtual machine setting by click the SBC SWeLite you created; on the Getting started tab, click the link Edit virtual machine settings
Change the memory setting by click the memory and change the memory size to 1G
To gather the network interface Mac address and map the interface to desired network, you need to at least power on once of the virtual machine, then power off the virtual machine to generate Mac address on each interface (refer to next session for power on virtual machine) click each of the network adapters and write down the Mac address and network mappings, later configuration need those information to further configure the network interfaces from the console.
To start your SBC SWeLite, you need to power on the virtual machine by click the "Power on the virtual machine" link from the Getting started tab.
In order to further configure the virtual machine, you need the console access. To access the console, you need to click the console tab or from the Summary tab click the Open Console link.
To access the SBC SWeLite virtual machine, you need to further configure the network interfaces from the virtual machine console.
Log in as user 'netconfig' with password 'config'. This automatically runs the interface mapping shell script. Then the console will ask user to change the netconfig password. The password need to be at least 6 characters with upper, lower, number or other characters combination.
The interface mapping shell script will ask user to provide interface name to map the interface showing from the WebUI. in order to correctly map the interface you need to use the mac address gathered from above virtual machine editing session. To activate the interface you need to specify the name and Mac address mapping. If you just hit enter, the interface will not specified and it will not showing on the WebUI.
For example:
After apply the configuration change in the first time, the system will be rebooted by itself.
The admin port should be connected to a network that the DHCP server enabled. If the network mapping and the connection is correct, the admin IP address should be showing on the console port. Otherwise, you need to check you connection and mappings.
if you need to access the root of the console before the WebUI initial setup, you can login to root with default password chorus
After the WebUI initial setup, if you need to access root from the console you need to enable the ssh access following this link (SBC 1k/2k troubleshooting)
From your web browser access the initial admin IP address of your SBC SWeLite, it will bring up the SBC SWeLite initial setup page.
Complete the intial setup and configured the static Admin IP address and all the interfaces IP address. You need to powered cycle the virtual machine. After the virtual machine comes on line. your SBC SWeLite is ready to use!
