A SIP Filter

...

profile is a collection of

...

configurable filter settings

...

for supported SIP headers. Depending on the filter

...

setting for a header, the SBC either relays the SIP messages without parsing the header

...

or parses the

...

header.

For every SIP message associated with the ingress leg of the call, the SBC

...

checks the

...

filter setting for each known type of SIP header. If the filter setting

...

for the header is set to Disabled (default), the header is parsed by the SBC. If a parsing error occurs, the SBC terminates a call. However, if the filter setting for a known header is set to Enabled, the SBC does not parses the header, even if parsing for the header is supported by the SBC. Additionally, all known filtered headers and unknown headers can be transparently relayed without parsing, if the unknown header transparency is Enabled in IP signaling profile.

A SIP Filter profile

...

is not used for the egress leg of a call. The SIP header of the egress leg is populated on the basis of the configuration in the IP Signaling

...

profile and the Transparency

...

profile. For more information on Transparency Profile and SIP header transparency, refer to Transparency Profile and SBC SIP Transparency Implementation Guide respectively.

SIP Filter Profile

The name of  the SIP Filter Profile (1- 23 characters) created, and optionally attached to a SIP Trunk Group. In the default SIP Filter Profile, the transparency setting of all permissible headers is set to Disabled.

A SIP Filter Profile may consist of several SIP Headers for which the filtering needs to be enabled.

Note

The name of a SIP Filter Profile cannot be edited. It is a "read only" field. However, a SIP Filter Profile can be deleted.

To configure a SIP Filter Profile with a SIP Trunk Group

Note

Prerequisites

To attach a SIP Filter Profile with an existing SIP Trunk Group, the prerequisites are as follows:

  • Configuration of the zone ID corresponding to the selected zone.
  • Configuration of the Media IP Interface Group Name for the selected SIP Trunk Group.

For details on accomplishing the prerequisite configurations from the EMA, refer to the following pages:

On the SBC main screen, navigate to All > Address Context > Zone > SIP Trunk Group > Signaling.

The Signaling window is displayed. Select suitable values from the following drop-down lists:

...

Note

The chosen SIP Trunk Group is the one with which the SIP Filter Profile gets attached.

The frame Edit Signaling is displayed. Find the SIP Filter Profile parameter, and from the adjacent drop-down list, select the name of an SIP Filter Profile which is attached.
