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.

Address Context

Attributes / Values

Configuration Restrictions

addressContext > dnsGourp > server

FIPS Compliancy

FIPS-140-2 is not supported in SBC 10.1.3 and later releases, and it is automatically converted to FIPS-140-3 as part of the upgrade.

To verify the current status of FIPS certification, contact the Global Support Assistance Center:

Licenses

Removing 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
You may only install or remove licenses bundles using EMA or RAMP.
