Document Overview

This document outlines the configuration best practices for the Ribbon SBC Core (SBC 5K, 7K, SWeCore) when deployed with Zoom Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC). This means that for all subscribers catering to Zoom customers, the PSTN calls terminating through the local SBC Core are directly connected to the Service Provider of their choice.

A ​Session Border Controller​ (​SBC​) is a network element deployed to protect​ ​SIP​-based Voice over Internet Protocol​ (VoIP) networks. ​Early deployments of SBCs were focused on the borders between two service provider networks in a peering environment. This role has now expanded to include significant deployments between a service provider's access network and a backbone network to provide service to residential and/or enterprise customers. ​The interoperability compliance testing focuses on verifying inbound and outbound call flows between Ribbon SBC 5K/7K/SWeCore and Zoom cloud. Ribbon SBC 5K/7K/SWeCore is deployed on the customer site to resolve any potential numbering format issue between Zoom and the customer's existing carrier dial plan numbering. 

This guide contains the following configuration sections: 

• Section A: SBC Core Configuration
  
  • Captures general SBC Core configurations for deploying with Zoom BYOC.            
• Section B: Configuration for SBC behind NAT 
  
  • Captures additional SBC configuration to be done behind NAT.

• Section C: Zoom Web BYOC configuration

  • Captures the Zoom BYOC configuration.

  • Test all basic calls, along with the supplementary features like call hold, call transfer, and conference with configurations from Section A and Section B.
    

  • Configure Advanced supplementary features on Zoom as mentioned in Supplementary Services Configuration on Zoom. These include:

    • Auto Receptionist

This is a technical document intended for telecommunications engineers with the purpose of configuring both the Ribbon SBCs and the third-party product.

Steps will require navigating the third-party product as well as the Ribbon SBC Command Line Interface product using graphical user interface (GUI) or command line interface (CLI).
Understanding of the basic concepts of TCP/UDP/TLS, IP/Routing, and SIP/RTP/SRTP is needed to complete the configuration and any necessary troubleshooting.

TLS Configuration between Ribbon SBC Core and Zoom TLS Configuration between Ribbon SBC Core and Zoom

3. TLS Configuration between Ribbon SBC Core and Zoom

Prerequisites:

• For TLS to work on the public side of the network, a trusted CA (Certificate Authority) is needed. In this scenario, GoDaddy is used as a Trusted CA.
• Enable Zoom BYOC trunk with TLS/SRTP.

Generate a CSR with OpenSSL 

# To create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and key file for a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) certificate with multiple subject alternate names, complete the following procedure:
  
Create an OpenSSL configuration file (text file) on the local computer by editing the fields to the company requirements.
  
Note 1: In the example used in this article the configuration file is req.conf.
  
Note 2: req_extensions will put the subject alternative names in a CSR, whereas x509_extensions would be used when creating an actual certificate file.
  
[req]
        distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
        req_extensions = v3_req
        prompt = no
        [req_distinguished_name]
        C = US
        ST = VA
        L = SomeCity
        O = MyCompany
        OU = MyDivision
        CN = www.company.com
        [v3_req]
        keyUsage = keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
        extendedKeyUsage = serverAuth
        subjectAltName = @alt_names
        [alt_names]
        DNS.1 = www.company.com
        DNS.2 = company.com
        DNS.3 = www.company.net
        DNS.4 = company.net
  
Make sure there are no whitespaces at the end of the lines.
  
#Run the following commands to create the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and a new Key file:
openssl req -new -out company_san.csr -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 -keyout company_san.key.temp -config req.conf
  
#Run the following command to verify the Certificate Signing Request:
openssl req -text -noout -verify -in company_san.csr
   
# After receiving the CSR with above information, provide it to CA (Certificate Authority). You will then receive the proper CA signed certificate in .crt format that is convertable into other formats using openssl.
 
# By default, you should receive two or more certificates from CA (depanding upon your CA). One is the SBC certificate, and other is CA's root and intermediate certificate.
 
# Upload the certificates to the SBC at /opt/sonus/external and convert them into SBC-readable format, i.e. SBC certificate is in .pem or .p12 format and root certificate is in .cer or .der.
  
#Converting .crt to .pem USING OPENSSL for SBC certificate.
openssl x509 -in sbc_cert.crt -out sbc_cert.der -outform DER
openssl x509 -in sbc_cert.der -inform DER -out sbc_cert.pem -outform PEM
  
#After generating sbc_cert.pem file, convert it to .p12 format using below command and the location of the certificate key.
openssl pkcs12 -export -out sbc1_cert.p12 -in sbc_cert.pem -inkey /opt/sonus/company_san.key.temp
  
#CONVERTING CRT to CER USING OPENSSL for CA's root and intermediate certificate.
openssl x509 -in root_cert.crt -out root_cert.cer -outform DER
  
After converting all these certificates upload them on SBC at /opt/sonus/external location.

Generate Required Certificates  

#Import Public CA Root Certificate into database.
set system security pki certificate CA_ROOT_CERT type remote fileName root_cert.cer state enabled
 
#Import Public CA Certified SBC Server Certificate into database.
set system security pki certificate SBC_CERT filename sbc1_cert.p12 passPhrase <Password defined during CSR generation> state enabled type local

Section B: Configuration for SBC behind NAT

Telecom operators do not expose the WAN side of the SBC directly to the public network. The SBC is deployed in the DMZ behind a NAT'ed device having WAN interface configured with a private IP. To achieve this, certain SIP Message Manipulation (SMM) rules are applied in the SBC for converting Private IP to Public IP.

Section D: Zoom Web BYOC Configuration

Prerequisites :

• Zoom Go BYOC account: This is a special type of Zoom account that has an outbound/inbound SIP trunk that peers between the Zoom Phone Cloud and the customer’s PSTN carrier connection.
• Customer's existing carrier/carrier equipment: Any carrier offering PSTN services and the carrier equipment can be router/gateway or another SBC that supports SIP trunk connectivity. The carrier provides several DID’s to use as external BYOC numbers.
• Trunk Registration:  BYOC is a “static” trunk between two static IP endpoints, therefore no trunk registration is done here.

Caveats

Note the following items in relation to this Interop:

• Potential issue has been observed on SBC 5400 for long duration calls (HOLD/UNHOLD from PSTN after 30mins) where SBC management tends to go down. The fix for this issue is available in SBC release 9.2 and beyond. We recommend to use SBC 9.2 release.
