The SBC Core permits modification of the majority of provisioning attributes which influence the operational behavior of the SBC without impacting service in a production environment. A subset of provisioning attributes listed below cannot be changed without affecting service. Ribbon recommends modifying these attributes only during a maintenance window.

Configuration Objects

The following table details SBC Core configuration attributes which cannot be changed without first disabling operational state or setting a service to Out of Service (OOS) mode.

Licenses

The removal of a license bundle is potentially service affecting. If the removed license bundle contains unexpired licenses for features currently in use, the removal of the license bundle will cause those features to no longer work.

Note
Licenses bundles may only be installed or removed using EMA or the EMS.
