Parameter

Description

Profile

Specifies the path check profile name used for OPTIONS ping.

Host Name

Specifies the FQDN value of the peer. It will be resolved using DNS and the resulting servers will be pinged using SIP OPTIONS requests. The value ranges up to 63 characters.

Info
titleNote

If the IP Address is configured and Path Check needs to be enabled for that IP Address, ensure the Host Name is not configured.


Host Port

Specifies the TCP/UDP port number of the peer. The peer's servers will be pinged using SIP OPTIONS requests at this port. The value ranges from 0 to 65535, and the default value is 5060.

Info
titleNote

If the IP Port is configured and Path Check needs to be enabled for that IP Port, ensure the Host Port is not configured.

When set to "0," the pathCheck task performs SRV lookup to resolve the port numbers. The resolved port numbers send OPTIONS ping to the IP Peer.

When the Host Port is set to a value other than "0," the Path Check task does not perform SRV lookup. It uses the configured port to send OPTIONS ping to the IP Peer.

Info
titleNote

If Host Port is set to "0," the SBC supports SRV. To use this featureSRV, enable the IPSP flag No Port Number5060.


State

Specifies if the active pinging is enabled or not. The options are:

  • Disabled (default)
  • Enabled

Status Update

  • Disabled (default) – The SBC does not include Allow and Accept headers while generating OPTIONS ping request towards the peer.
  • Enabled – The SBC includes Allow and Accept headers while generating OPTIONS ping requests towards the peer.
Info
