Table | 1 | System Admin Parameters (set) |

|
Parameter | Length/Range | Description |
---|
admin
| N/A | Use this object to specify system name. |
accountManagement | N/A | Use this feature to manage system level account and password related settings. See Account Management Parameters table below for details. |
auditLogState
| N/A | Use this flag to specify the management audit log state. disabled enabled (default)
|
banner
| 1-23 | Use this parameter to customize the post-login banner from EMA and CLI applications. ackBanner – Enable flag to require user to acknowledge (accept) the banner before gaining access to the system each time the user logs into the system.
disabled (default)enabled
bannerText – Use this parameter to specify the banner text to display when users login to EMA and CLI applications.
Note |
---|
"Field Service" and "Operator" user types are not allowed to change the Login Banner configuration. |
|
cliSetWarningSupport
| N/A | When this flag is enabled, warning prompts are configured for the "set" command. disabled enabled (default)
|
contact
| N/A | Use parameter to specify system contact information. (default is "Unknown") |
dod | N/A | Use this object to enable DoD mode, and to enable/disable CLI and/or EMA access for temporary troubleshooting and diagnostics. cliAccess – Use this flag to temporarily enable CLI for troubleshooting and diagnostic while the SBC is in DoD mode.disabled (default)enabled
mode – Use this flag to enable/disable DoD Mode.disabled (default)enabled
pmAccess – Use this flag to temporarily enable EMA's Platform Mode for troubleshooting and diagnostic while the SBC is in DoD mode.disabled (default)enabled
Warning |
---|
Enabling CLI and/or EMA for DoD mode lowers the security posture of the SBC. Remember to disable CLI and PM access once troubleshooting and/or diagnostics is completed. |
|
dspMismatchAction | N/A | Use this parameter to specify the action to take if a DSP mismatch is detected between the active and standby servers. preserveCapacity – The Active 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 extra, non-matching DSP capacity on Active are not protected during switchover (i.e. partial redundancy). |
preserveRedundancy (default) – The Active automatically triggers a graceful dry-up in an attempt to align DSP hardware capabilities. Once dry-up completes, the Active SBC uses the protected, matching DSP capacity to preserve redundancy.
Note |
---|
During the dry-up period, active calls using the extra, non-matching DSP capacity are not protected in the event that a switchover occurs before the dry up completes. |
|
externalAuthenticationEnabled
| N/A | The confd CLI user information stored on remote RADIUS server is available for authentication. |
fips-140-2 mode | N/A | Use this object to enable FIPS-140-2 mode. disabled (default)enabled
Note |
---|
Once fips-140-2 mode is enabled, it cannot be 'disabled' through the configuration. A fresh software installation is required to set the FIPS-140-2 mode back to 'disabled'. |
For complete details of configuring the for FIPS 140-2 compliance, see Enabling SBC for FIPS 140-2 Compliance page. |
localAuthenticationEnabled
| N/A | The confd CLI user information stored locally is available for authentication. |
location
| N/A | Specifies the physical location of the system. |
passwordRules
| N/A | The rules implementing confd user password policy. maximumRepeatingCharsCount – Maximum number of consecutive repeating characters in the password. (range: 3-16 / default = 3).minimumDiffWithOldPassword – The minimum differences between the old and the new passwords (range 1-8 / default - 4).minimumLength – Minimum number of characters that should be present in the password. (range: 8-24 / default = 8)minimumNumberOfDigits – Minimum number of digits that should be present in the password. (range: 0-16 / default = 1)minimumNumberOfLowercaseChars – Minimum number of lower case characters that should be present in the password. (range: 0-16 / default = 1)minimumNumberOfOtherChars –-Minimum number of non-alpha-numeric characters that should be present in the password. (range: 0-16 / default = 1)minimumNumberOfUppercaseChars – Minimum number of upper case characters that should be present in the password. (range: 0-16 / default = 1)passwordHistoryDepth –The number of latest passwords that should be prevented from re-use. (range: 0-10 / default = 4)
|
rest | N/A | Enable this flag to allow to support REST API. For REST API details, see REST API User's Guide.disabled (default)enabled
|
standbyServerState
| N/A | Use this flag to manually enable or disable standby server if the active server fails. disabled enabled (default)
|
utilMonitorStatsInterval
| 5-60 | Specifies time interval for system resource monitoring statistics. This parameter defines the range of timer interval in minutes used by configuration management for measuring the statistics of certain resources. (default = 15).
Include Page |
---|
IntervalStatsMustMatchEMS | IntervalStatsMustMatchEMS | utilMonitorStatsNumOfPastInterval
| 1-12 | The number of past intervals that can be configured for retrieving the statistics data. (default = 4). |

| bruteForceAttack | N/A | Configuration for defense against brute force OAM password guessing attempts. allowAutoUnlock – Enable Auto Unlock of an account blocked due to consecutive wrong password attempts.
disabled (default)enabled
consecutiveFailedAttemptAllowed – Number of consecutive failed login attempts allowed before account is locked. As a safety measure, the system will not lock out the last/only active Administrator user on platform. (range: 1-10 / default = 3) Note |
