Use this object to configure SIP signaling ports for a specified zone. For additional routing details, refer to Routing Mechanisms page. A SIP Signaling Port is a logical address permanently bound to a specific zone and is used to send and receive SIP call signaling packets. A SIP Signaling Port is capable of multiple transports such as UDP, TCP and TLS/TCP. SBC Core supports up to 16 SIP Signaling Ports per zone. These SIP Signaling Ports can use the same IP address, but each must have its own unique UDP/TCP port. In the example below, three SIP Signaling Ports are created using the same IP address but each with a unique UPD port. A SIP Signaling Port can contain an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address or both. However, all SIP Signaling Ports within a particular zone must use the same address types as shown in below examples. Example 1: Example 2: Example 3: A SIP Signaling Port must reference one IP Interface Group signifying that signaling associated with that port is restricted to IP Interfaces in that group. Only reference IP Interface Groups within the same Address Context. The SBC 52x0 and SBC 7000 systems support creating IP Interface Groups containing sets of IP interfaces that are not "processor friendly" (i.e. carried on physical Ethernet ports served by separate processors). However, restrictions exist regarding the usage of such Interface Groups. (This ability does not apply to the SBC 51x0 and SBC 5400 systems which have only two physical media ports. IP interfaces from the two physical ports may be configured within the same IP Interface Groups without restriction.) For complete details, refer to Configuring IP Interface Groups and Interfaces. If a zone's Example: When Overview
sipSigPort
is configured for transportProtocolsAllowed
= sip-tls-tcp
, the SBC increments the configured portNumber
by 1 and uses it as the new port number for SIP over TLS signaling. The SBC then opens a TCP socket for SIP over TLS for the new TCP port number.sipSigPort
is configured with a portNumber
of 5060 and transportProtocolsAllowed
= sip-tls-tcp
, the SBC listens on TCP port 5061 for SIP over TLS.
On SBC main screen, go to Configuration > System Provisioning > Category: Base Provisioning > Signaling Ports > SIP Sig Port.
The SIP Sig Port window is displayed.
The SIP Sig Port can be checked for each Address Context or for each Zone or for all the Address Contexts and Zones created. Use the drop-down box to select the desired Address Context and Zone.
To edit any of the SIP Sig Ports in the list, click the radio button next to the specific SIP Sig Port name.
The Edit Selected SIP Sig Port window is displayed below.
Make the required changes and click Save at the right hand bottom of the panel to save the changes made.
To create a new SIP Sig Port, click + New SIP Sig Port tab on the SIP Sig Port List panel.
The Create New SIP Sig Port window is displayed.
The following fields are displayed:
Parameter |

| The administrative state of the SIP Signaling Port.
|
| Select from the drop-down list. |
| Specifies the V4 IP address in dotted decimal form (for example 10.11.12.0 24). |
| Specifies the V6 IP address in hexadecimal/colon form (for example, fd00:21:445:128::7880 64). |
| UDP/TCP port number of SIP Signaling Port (default is 5060). |
| Administrative state of the SIP Signaling Recorder Port. The values are:

SIPrec | Specifies the administrative state of the SIP Signaling Recorder Port. Enable flag to use the port for recording using SIPrec Protocol. The options are:
Note:
|
| This object indicates the maximum time, in seconds, allowed for SBC 5000 series to establish an outbound TCP connection. Note: This application level configuration has NO impact on any IP layer re-transmission of SYN. |
| DSCP value (0-63) for packets from this SIP Signaling Port. |
| The name assigned to this Transport Layer Security (TLS) profile. Must be 1 - 23 characters. |
| The transport protocols allowed on this signaling port as follows:
Note: The SBC supports only UDP towards the recording server. |
| Specifies the name of the SCTP profile used for this SIP Signaling Port. |
TCP Keepalive Time | Specifies the number of seconds a TCP connection remains idle before TCP Keep-alive probes are sent out. A value of "0" disables this parameter. The value ranges from 0 or 60-7200 seconds and the default value is 0. NOTE: Always configure TCP Keepalive Time with a higher value than TCP Keepalive Interval. |
TCP Keepalive Interval | Specifies the number of seconds between TCP Keep-alive probes. The value ranges from 60 to 120 seconds and the default value is 60. |
TCP Keepalive Probes | Specifies the maximum number of TCP Keep-alive probes to send until SBC decides that the connection is broken. The value ranges from 1 to 20 and the default value is 2. |

|
Action | Use this object to specify a clearing action when the SIP Signaling Port goes out-of-service (OOS). Calls can be forcefully cleared or allowed to dry up in out-of-service mode.
|
| Use this parameter to specify the time (in minutes) until which existing calls are allowed to complete in out-of-service mode with dry up action. (range: 1-1440 / default = 60) When
Once the dryup timer expires, SBC tears down ongoing calls and all ongoing SIP Registrations and non-call related dialogs are cleared internally. The SIP Signaling Port is then moved to OOS state where no SIP messages are admitted. Note:
|
TCP User Timeout | Modified: for 6.2.1 Use this parameter to configure the maximum time (0, or 10-3600) in seconds for which transmitted data may remain unacknowledged before TCP forcibly closes the corresponding connection. |
If recorder is enabled, the SBC does not handle the following requests. To overcome this, configure a separate SIP Signaling Port towards the recording server (with recorder enabled).
To copy any of the created SIP Sig Port and to make any minor changes, click the radio button next to the specific SIP Sig Port to highlight the row.
Click Copy SIP Sig Port tab on the SIP Sig Port List panel.
The Copy Selected SIP Sig Port window is displayed along with the field details which can be edited.
Make the required changes to the required fields and click Save to save the changes. The copied SIP Sig Port is displayed at the bottom of the original SIP Sig Port in the SIP Sig Port List panel.
To delete any of the created SIP Sig Port, click the radio button next to the specific SIP Sig Port which you want to delete.
Click Delete at the end of the highlighted row. A delete confirmation message appears seeking your decision.
Click Yes to remove the specific SIP Sig Port from the list.
