Overview

The As an alternative to using the default management interface, the SBC supports using an IP addresses address (IPv4 and or IPv6) for from a packet interface (pkt0 and or pkt1) for intra-cluster Virtual Network Function Component (VNFC) communication of Distributed SBCs in distributed SBC (D-SBCs) by assigning an IP Interface Group. Packet interface along with management interface can be used for intra-cluster VNFC communication.SBC) deployments. 

The SBC uses UDP port number 3057 associated with the management interface for  for intra-cluster VNFC communication. When Therefore, when using a packet interface is used for intra-cluster VNFC communication, , you must set the parameter baseUdpPort to a value higher than 3057 .For a non-cloud SBC configurations, specify the IP addresses required for intra-cluster VNFC communicationto avoid a conflict.

Configuration Example

Metavariable names are used to retrieve the IP addresses for intra-cluster VNFC communication and either packet or management interface variables can be specified as appropriate. For example, on a media-SBC (M-SBC), the IPv6 address of pkt1 is IF3.IPV6, and the IPv4 address of mgt0 is IF0.IPV4. The following examples show use of both packet and management interfaces.
