In this section:
An IP Interface Group is a named object containing one or more IP interfaces (IP addresses). The IP Interface Group is Address Context-specific (e.g. permanently bound to a particular Address Context), and is the primary tool to manage disjointed networks (separate networks that are not designed to communicate directly). An IP Interface Group is the local manifestation of a segregated network domain. The service section of an IP trunk group and a Signaling Port typically reference an IP Interface Group in order to restrict signaling and/or media activity to that IP Interface Group.
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.

| 1-23 | A group of IP interfaces for the specified address context. Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" supports sharing of IP address by media and the signaling objects. In order to share media and signaling by same IP address, both IP interfaces must belong to same IP interface group. |
| N/A | Administrative state of the IPsec support for this interface group.

| 1-23 | Specifies the IP interface name. Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" supports a maximum of 4,096 IP interfaces.Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" supports a maximum of 128 IP interfaces.Options include the following (see Table 2 for descriptions of each of these options):

Parameter | Length/Range | Description |
---|---|---|
| N/A | Action to take when putting the IP Interface out of service:
|
| N/A | Specifies alternative (secondary) IP address for the configured packet IP interface. The alternative IP address is optional, but if used must be a different IP address type than ipAddress parameter. The following IP address types are supported:
Modify the alternative IP address only after changing the Packet IP interface to disabled state.
|
altMediaIpAddresses | IPv4 and/or IPv6 address(es) | Use this parameter to specify up to 254 additional IPv4 and/or IPv6 media IP addresses on this IP interface. Any combination of IPv4 and IPv6 is allowed. The following rules apply when configuring alternate media IP addresses:
|
| 0-128 | Alternative IP subnet prefix of this interface. |
| 0-2147483647 | Maximum amount of bandwidth allowed in units of bytes per second for this IP interface.
When calculating bandwidth size, keep in mind that an IPv6 header size (40 bytes) is twice as large as IPv4 header (20 bytes), thus reducing the number of messages when using IPv6.
|
| 0-100 | The percentage of maximum bandwidth reserved for contingency (that is, non-media). The maximum bandwidth is the bandwidth normally available for media on the interface. (This is based on the configured bandwidth limit or the physical port bandwidth limit minus approximately 5% for signaling traffic). The contingency factor effectively reserves a portion of this bandwidth for non-media. |
| 1-255 | The name of the computing element that hosts the port used by this IP interface. ceName is currently not used by the
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" . |
| 1-1440 | The dry-up timeout in minutes (e.g. the number of minutes to wait for active calls to complete before dropping the call). (default = 10) |
| N/A | The primary IP Address of the Interface. The following IP address types are supported:
Duplicate Address Detection procedures are performed on interfaces configured with IPv6 addresses. If a duplicate address is found in the network, a warning message is output to Linux logs at
/var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages .Example message:
|
| N/A | The operational mode of the IP interface:
When setting |
| N/A | The physical port name used by this IP interface. Supported physical port names are:
Packet ports (pkt) identify the physical ports used for signaling and media, whereas media ports are UDP ports used to carry media traffic. ipInterfaceGroup and ipInterface should not be configured for mgmt0 and mgmt1 ports. Instead, configure mgmt0 and mgmt1 ports using mgmtIpInterfaceGroup and mgmtIpInterface. |
| 0-128 | Specifies the IP subnet prefix of this Interface. Default = 16. |
| N/A | Administrative state of the IP interface.
|
| 1-4 digits | VLAN tags are required if more than one IP Interface is associated with a single physical port on the SBC. Enter a value from 2 to 4095 The parameter “vlanTag” is exclusive on a physical port. Therefore, SBC does not create two interfaces with the same vlanTag on the same physical port.
Do not configure more than 2,048 VLAN tags on the SBC 5100 due to memory constraints. |
To configure an internal and external IP Interface Group:
% set addressContext default ipInterfaceGroup EXTERNAL_IPIG ipInterface IPIF0_300 ceName ALNSBC01A portName pkt0 ipAddress 135.165.134.142 prefix 27 mode outOfService state disabled vlanTag 300 % set addressContext default ipInterfaceGroup INTERNAL_IPIG ipInterface IPIF2_200 ceName ALNSBC01A portName pkt2 ipAddress 135.165.130.115 prefix 27 mode outOfService state disabled vlanTag 200
To display configuration information regarding all IP interfaces:
% show addressContext default ipInterfaceGroup ipInterfaceGroup EXTERNAL_IPIG { ipInterface IPIF0_300 { ceName ALNSBC01A; portName pkt0; ipAddress 135.165.134.142; prefix 27; mode outOfService; state disabled; vlanTag 300; } } ipInterfaceGroup INTERNAL_IPIG { ipInterface IPIF2_200 { ceName ALNSBC01A; portName pkt2; ipAddress 135.165.130.115; prefix 27; mode outOfService; state disabled; vlanTag 200; } }
To display configuration information regarding all IP interfaces with display level set to 3:
% show addressContext default ipInterfaceGroup displaylevel 3 ipInterfaceGroup EXTERNAL_IPIG { ipInterface IPIF0_300; } ipInterfaceGroup INTERNAL_IPIG { ipInterface IPIF2_200; }
