Page History

The EMS uses the EMS CALEA user role for all LI configuration operations from and to the SBC Configurator, and the admin user role for communicating over netconf to the SBC. The EMS creates the SBC CALEA user credentials automatically when a SBC (including the SBC Configurator) registers to it. Cloud SBC instances are registered dynamically in the EMS.

Prerequisites

To configure CDC for cloud M-SBC instance:

• Instantiate EMS SWe instance with LI interface support using the EMS_SA_HEAT_TEMPLATE_VERIZON Heat Template. For more information,

• refer to EMS SWe Standalone Instantiation for Geographical Redundancy (GR) Deployment.
• Create a configurator cluster. For more information,

• refer to Creating an SBC SWe Configurator Cluster.
• Create a configurator instance. For more information,

• refer to Instantiating SBC Configurator Using non-DHCP Heat Template.

M-SBC Basic Configuration

To create basic configuration for M-SBC:

1. Log on to EMS as admin user. 

2. Under Network Mgmnt, click Cluster / VNF Management. The Cluster/VNF Management window is displayed. 

3. Create M-SBC cluster. For more information,

1. refer to Creating an SBC SWe Cluster.

2. Click Configurations tab.

3. Click New Configuration. The New Configuration pane is displayed.

4. Click Master Configurator tab.

5. Select the version of the configuration from the Version drop-down.
   

6. Select an SBC Configurator instance from the Master Configurator drop-down.
   This node is used to create the configuration. The SBC Configurator nodes are displayed based on the version selected. Only unlocked SBC Configurator nodes are listed.
   

7. Enter a name for the configuration in the Configuration Name field. The SBC configuration name can contain only letters, numbers, dashes (-), apostrophes ('), underscores (_), colons (:) and spaces.
   

   Note
   The cluster ID is set as the default name for the first configuration. You can modify the name. The name must be unique. The subsequent configurations are named with a combination of cluster name and some unique identifying information. The default name varies based on how the configuration is created.

   
   

8. Click Create. A circular progress bar is displayed against the Master Configurator node. It takes around six minutes to load master configuration.
