In SBC SWe Cloud deployments, metadata configures values related to the SBC interfaces such as IP addresses and gateways. This information initially comes during instantiation from metadata found in Heat templates or configuration drives.
SBC SWe Cloud provides the metaVariableDynamic
table you can populate with additional metavariables to add to the metadata in an existing deployment. The metavariable values in the table become available to the instance without having to rebuild it. For example, you can add the metavariable values needed to configure an additional SIP signaling port in a deployed SBC instance. Refer to Using Dynamic Metavariables to Add a SIP Signaling Port for a detailed example.
The table is not intended to make changes to existing configuration. You cannot add metavariables to the table to override values that were already defined during instantiation.
