System - Admin Parameters

Parameter

Description

Name

Specifies the name of the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
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

This parameter specifies whether the instances are managed manually or through EMS/VNFM.

Two modes for managing the HA/Redundancy of

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
SWe Cloud NFV are supported:

  • Centralized (default) - Use this mode for traditional HA/redundancy model (1:1 scenario) where one active instance is backed up by one standby instance. In Centralized mode, the
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    configuration is synchronized between active and standby
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    s. Centralized mode is preferred for deployments where the scale/sessions requirements are low.
  • Distributed - Use this mode for
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    SWe Cloud deployments where up to N active
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    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. A microservices based Distributed-
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    deployment is optimal for Communications Service Providers (CSPs) with large scale/sessions requirements. Distributed mode is preferred in such deployments, as the lifecycle of the instances (instance spin-off, initial configuration, delta configuration, and instance termination) are managed by the EMS/VNFM and Configurator.
Cluster IDAn unique alpha-numeric string for identifying the cluster to which the instance belongs.

Location

Specifies the physical location of the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
system.

Contact

Specifies the contact information for the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
system.

Local Authentication Enabled

Specifies that Confd CLI user information stored locally can be used for authentication. Options are:

  • True (default)
  • False

External Authentication Enabled

Specifies that Confd CLI user information stored on a remote Radius Server can be used for authentication. Options are:

  • True
  • False (default)

Default Account Local Only

Specifies whether the default admin user must be locally authenticated. Options are:

  • True
  • False (default)

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

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
to be both:

  • Equal to or greater than the
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    interval size, and
  • Not less than the
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    interval size multiplied by the
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    number of intervals.

See Insight User Guide for configuration details.

Util Monitors Stats Num of Past Interval

Specifies the number of past intervals of the system resource monitoring statistics to 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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 active
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    uses 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.

  • Preserve Capacity: The active
    Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
    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)
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.

  • False (default)
  • True

 

Admin Commands

Use the Admin commands to perform system administration actions such as restart and regenerating SSH encryption keys. A partial list of the commands appears in the following figure.

Admin Commands

 

Select one of the commands and click Select.  A pop-up window opens where you can specify any required command options and initiate the selected command. Some commands are only available in cloud-based deployments.

The commands are:

Note

Geographical Redundancy High Availability (GRHA) is not supported on SBC SWe Cloud.

Verify Database Integrity

Use this command to verify that the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
policy and configuration databases on the active server are in sync and that the policy databases on the active and standby servers are in sync. Because these commands take a few seconds to execute, it is not advisable to run these commands repeatedly on the system. In the pop-up window, specify the following:

  • Active And Standby Policy – Check if policy databases on the active and standby servers are in sync.
  • Active Config And Active Policy – Check if the policy and configuration databases on the active server are in sync.
  • All – Perform both of the above checks.

Zeroize Persistent Keys

Use this control to securely erase all persistent CSPs from the system. The
