Parameter | Description |
|---|
Name | Specifies the name of the system. | | Actual System Name | Indicates the system name assigned by the user. Note: If a system name is not assigned, this field displays the |
|
...
system name. | | Mgmt Mode | 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 configuration is synchronized between active and standby s.
- Distributed - Is supported in SWe Cloud deployments where up to N active 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 initial configuration and delta configuration is managed by the EMS.
| | Cluster ID | An unique alpha-numeric string for identifying the cluster to which the instance belongs. | Location | Specifies the physical location of the |
|
...
| system. | Contact | Specifies the contact information |
|
...
for the system. | Local Authentication Enabled | Specifies |
|
...
that Confd CLI user information stored locally can be used for authentication. Options are: | External Authentication Enabled | Specifies |
|
...
that Confd CLI user information stored on a remote Radius Server can be used for authentication. Options are: | Default Account Local Only | Specifies whether the default admin user must be locally authenticated. Options are: The option can only be set to True when the options that enable/disable local authentication on the SBC generally, Local Authentication Enabled and External Authentication Enabled, are also set to True. If both local and external (RADIUS) authentication are enabled on the SBC then the method for authentication of the default admin user is governed by this option. | 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 EMS PM data collection intervals for the |
|
...
...
- the interval size, and
- Not less than the
|
|
...
- interval size multiplied by the
|
|
...
| Util Monitors Stats Num of Past Interval | Specifies the number of past intervals |
|
...
of the system resource monitoring statisticsto save. | 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 the following DSP |
|
...
mismatch conditions: - Mismatch in DSP card installation across any/all slot locations: Cards must match by slot location. For any mismatched
|
|
...
- slots, DSP capacity is not used
|
|
...
- when Preserve Redundancy is configured (and card dried up if calls were already in place when the mismatch occurred), or card is left unprotected when
|
|
...
- Preserve Capacity is configured.
- Mismatch in DSP card type within a
|
|
...
- 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 instance automatically triggers a graceful dry-up in an attempt to align DSP hardware capabilities. Once the dry-up completes, the
|
|
...
...
- protected, matching DSP capacity to preserve redundancy.
Note: During the dry-up period, active calls using the higher |
|
...
capacity DSPs are not protected in the event that a switchover occurs before the dry up completes. |
|
...
...
- 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 higher capacity DSPs on |
|
...
the active instance are not protected during switchover ( |
|
...
that is, partial redundancy). | Cli Set Warning Support |
|
...
Specifies whether or not to enable warning prompts configured for the Set commands |
|
...
. The options are: - Disabled
- Enabled (default)
| | Verify Auto Index | 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: |
|
...
...
| | Ssh Public Key Authentication Enabled | If set to True and the SSH keys are populated, SSH users can log into their servers without the need to enter their passwords. | | Ssh Max Auth Tries | Specifies the maximum number of times SSH users can attempt authentication before an account is locked. The valid range is 2 to 6. The default value is 6. |
