New CLI in 6.2.2R0

SBX-58171 DISA (Federal Govt) requires stronger radius authentication like CHAP or EAP

PEAP/MSCHAPv2 is a new method of authentication added to the RadiusAuthentication functionality. This allows a more secure authentication where the radius password is sent using encryption (PEAP) and authenticated via the Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MSHAPv2). A CLI command has been added to set the Radius authentication method:

% set oam radiusAuthentication radiusServer <serverName> authenticationMethod <pap | peapmschapv2>

SBX-68514 Duplicated autoIndex is Generated

This feature adds the verifyAutoIndex configuration parameter. The verifyAutoIndex configuration parameter checks new entries added to an SBX configuration table that has an Auto Index column to make sure that the newly assigned Auto Index value does not already exist in that table. This configuration parameter is in the admin object of the system-level configuration.

% set system admin <system name> verifyAutoIndex <false | true>

New CLI in 6.2.1R0

SBX-25205 SRTP to RTP Fallback on Receipt of 488

A new profile retryProfile is added to the profiles object to configure a trigger/action rule to specify that when a particular response code (and optional warning code) is received (the trigger), the SBC performs a fallback action (fallback SRTP to RTP, fallback to IPV4 or fallback to IPV6). The SBC then reattempts an INVITE with the updated Session Description Protocol (SDP) offer based on the action configured for the received error response and warning code.

% set profiles services retryProfile <retryProfile name>
  attemptRecordGeneration <[disabled] | enabled>
  state <[disabled] | enabled>
  triggerActionRule <1-16>
       sipResponseCode <300-699>
       sipWarningCode <300-399>
       action <1-16>
              actionType <fallBackSrtpToRtp | fallBackToIPV4 | fallBackToIPV6>

SBX-54065 and SBX-35444 SWe Capacity Improvement and Estimation

The performance of the SBC VM can be optimized by providing the call mix while configuring the SBC SWe instance. The SBC includes a set of predefined call mixes also known as standard traffic profiles. Additionally, a user can create custom traffic profiles containing a call mix that is more appropriate for the SBC SWe.

The following system profiles are added/updated in this release:

% set system sweTrafficProfiles <profile name> accessScenario true callHoldTime 125 passthroughCodecProfile cmix1 transcodePercent 30 transcodingCodecProfile G711_G729_20ms

SBX-67540 Change the flag name for lastProvResponse to lastReceivedSdp for the forking scenarios

% set addressContext <name> zone <name> sipTrunkGroup <name> media earlyMedia 
	forkingBehaviour <firstProvResponse | firstRtp | lastReceivedSdp | pemPriority>
	method 
		pEarlyMedia 
			defaultGatingMethod <inactive | recvonly | sendonly | sendrecv>
			egressSupport <disabled | enabled>
		rtpServerTable rtpServerTableName
		sessionAnswer

SBX-61136 Add 1:1 HA option support for AWS and non D-SBC Cloud

The parameter mgmtMode is added to the system admin status command in this release, and  specifies whether SBC SWe instances are managed manually or through EMS/VNFM.

Two modes for managing the HA/Redundancy of SBC SWe Cloud Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) are supported:

Centralized (default) - Use this mode for traditional HA/redundancy model (1:1 scenario) where one active instance is backed up by one standby instance. In Centralized mode, the SBC configuration is synchronized between active and standby SBCs. The Centralized mode is preferred for deployments where the scale/sessions requirements are low.

Distributed - Use this mode for SBC SWe Cloud deployments where up to N active SBC instances are backed up by a single standby SBC instance (N:1). In this mode, each node is configured separately, and the configuration on active and standby instances are not synchronized. 

The changes in CLI are:

• The parameter mgmtMode is added to system. This parameter specifies whether the instances are managed either manually, or through EMS/VNFM. There are two supported modes:
  • centralized (default)
  • distributed
• The rgstatus, serverStatus, and serverAdmin commands are supported on AWS for 1:1 redundancy group. For centralized mode, the commands display details of both active and standby volumes.
