The SBC 5400 Hardware Platform comes with three modes of media port configurations. The 2x1 hardware platform supports three interface modes for media ports. The 2 x 1 Gbps interface mode does not require a license and is enabled by default. For the rest of the interface modes, appropriate licenses should be purchased from SonusThe other modes require that an appropriate license is purchased from

2 x 1 Gbps or
4x1 Gbps To 1x104 x 1 Gbps to 2 x 10 Gbps Media Interface Upgrade Procedure
This section explains the procedure to upgrade the media interfaces in on an SBC 5400 from either 2 x 1 Gbps or 4 x 1 Gbps interfaces to 2 x 10 Gbps media interfaces.

This is a service impacting procedure. The system must be drained of traffic before starting. It is recommended to contact Sonus
It is important to save your existing configurations configuration prior to executing this procedure because the existing configurations will get erasedconfiguration is erased during the procedure. Once the procedure is performed, you must rebuild the configurations from scratch (similar to configuring a new system). Note that the existing configuration cannot be applied directly to other interface modes. For example, any an existing configuration with 2x1 for a 2 x 1 Gbps or 4x1 4 x 1 Gbps interface modes mode system cannot be imported/applied when once the interface mode changes to 1x10 2 x 10 Gbps mode. |
Prerequisites
- Verify the SBC 5400 is running on a 05.01.00R000 or higher software version.
- Procure the required media interface licenses. Refer to SBC 5400 Media Ports and Operational Modes to know the all the for details on media interface licenses.
- Have ready access to the original and all the subsequent licenses. Refer to SBC 5400 Interface Modes and Media Port Assignments table for to the preceding table for the required licenses.
- Save all of your current configurations for to use in the event you want to return to the 1 Gbps interface mode of operation (The 1 Gbps configuration cannot be applied/imported to 10 Gbps interface mode).
Refer Refer to Saving the SBC Configuration for details about how to save on saving your existing SBC configuration. - Keep the SonusHave
-approved 10 Gb SFPs ready for each of the SBC 5400 systems identified for this Media Interface system on which you are making this media interface change.Spacevars 0 company
Procedure
The following procedure is applicable only when you upgrade from 2x1 2 x 1 Gbps or 4x1 4 x 1 Gbps to 1x10 2 x 10 Gbps interface mode.
