Mgmt Mode

TypeAvailable Since
Release6.2.1

Identifies whether the instances are managed manually or through the EMS.

For SBC SWe cloud deployments, two modes are supported:

  • Centralized (default) - Is the traditional HA/redundancy model (1:1 scenario) where one active instance is backed up by one standby instance. In Centralized mode, the
    Spacevars
    0product
    configuration is synchronized between active and standby
    Spacevars
    0product
    s.
  • Distributed - Is supported in
    Spacevars
    0product
    SWe Cloud deployments where up to N active
    Spacevars
    0product
    instances are backed up by a single standby instance (N:1). In this mode, each node is configured separately, and the configuration on active and standby instances is not synchronized. The instances in such deployments also have homogeneous configuration. In Distributed mode the lifecycle of the instances (instance spin-off, initial configuration,  delta configuration, and instance termination) is managed by the EMS and Configurator.
Cluster IDIdentifies the unique alpha-numeric string for identifying the cluster to which the instance belongs.

Location

Specifies the physical location of the

Spacevars
0product
system.

Contact

Specifies the contact information of for the

Spacevars
0product
system.

Local Authentication Enabled

Specifies the confd CLI whether user information stored locally can be used for authentication.

External Authentication Enabled

Specifies the confd CLI whether user information stored on remote Radius Server a remote RADIUS server can be used for authentication.

Util Monitor Stats Interval

Specifies the time interval for system resource monitoring statistics. The value ranges from 5 to 60 minutes and the default value is 15 minutes.

Note:  

If using the EMS in your network, configure the EMS PM data collection intervals for the

Spacevars
0product
to be both:

  • Equal to or greater than the
    Spacevars
    0product
    interval size, and
  • Not less than the
    Spacevars
    0product
    interval size multiplied by the
    Spacevars
    0product
    number of intervals.

See the Insight User Guide for configuration details.

Util Monitors Stats Num of Past Interval

Specifies the number of past intervals of data that is saved by the system resource monitoring statistics.

Audit Log State

Specifies the state of the management audit log. The options are:

  • Disabled
  • Enabled (default)

Dsp Mismatch Action

Specifies the action to take for one of when the following DSP Mismatch mismatch conditions occur:

  1. Mismatch in DSP card installation across any/all slot locations: Cards must match by slot location. For any mismatched slot, the DSP capacity is not used when "Preserve Redundancy" is configured (and calls on the card dried dry up if calls were already in place when the mismatch occurred), or the card is left unprotected when "Preserve Capacity" is configured.
  2. Mismatch in DSP card type within a s lot slot location: Card installations must match by type – DSP25 (higher capacity) or DSP20 (lower capacity). Same rules as above apply.

The options are:

  • Preserve Redundancy (default): The Active active node automatically triggers a graceful dry-up in an attempt to align the DSP hardware capabilities. Once the dry-up process completes, the Active active node
    Spacevars
    0product
    uses the protected, matching DSP capacity to preserve redundancy.

Note: During the dry-up period, active calls using the higher Capacity capacity DSPs are not protected in the event that a switchover occurs before the dry-up process completes.

  • Preserve Capacity: The Active
    Spacevars
    0product
    continues to use the extra DSP capacity, as needed, assuming appropriate session licenses are in place; partial redundancy is in effect.

Note: If a switchover occurs, calls using the higher capacity DSPs on Active the active are not protected during switchover (i.e. partial redundancy).

Cli Set Warning Support

Specifies whether or not to enable warning prompts configured for the Set commands or not. The options are:

  • Disabled
  • Enabled (default)
Verify Auto Index

Available_since
TypeAvailable Since
Release6.2.2
Set this value to True to specify that the SBC should check before it adds a new entry to a configuration table that has an Auto Index column to that the newly assigned Auto Index value does not already exist in that table. The transaction fails if the configuration database (CDB) already uses that Auto Index number. Provisioning can be slow when this check is enabled since the CDB is queried for each item that uses an Auto Index number. Therefore this option should only be set to True when directed by Technical Support. The options are:

  • False (default)
  • True
SSH Public Key Authentication Enabled

If set to True and the SSH keys are populated, SSH users can log into their servers the server without the need to enter their passwords.

  • False (default)
  • True

Re Key Confd Encryption Key

Specifies that it causes Use this command to regenerate encryption keys used by the system configuration database to be regenerated.

Note: Sonus recommends backing up current encrypted parameters in plaintext, if possible.  Sonus further recommends performing a full configuration backup immediately after this activity has successfully completed.

Reenable OS Account

Use this command as an admin user of a system (hardware server/SWe Cloud instance) to re-enable an OS account for a specific user. The CLI equivalent of this action command is request system admin <system name> reenableOsAccount userName <user name>.

For more information, refer to the Configure Accounts sub-section of the page Users and Application Management - Application Management.

Remove Instance From Group

Use this command to remove an instance from a Redundancy Group.

Note: This action command is applicable only for SBC SWe Cloud deployments.

Remove Saved Config

Verify Database Integrity

Use this command to verify that the

  • Active And Standby Policy – Check if policy databases on the active and standby servers are in sync.
  • Active Config And Active Policy – Check if the policy and configuration databases on the active server are in sync.
  • All – Perform both of the above checks.
