About Wildcarding

You can wildcard both portions (name and subname) of this value:

  • When you wildcard the name portion of the value, you can provide a specific subname that the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller uses to find matching media profiles.
  • When you wildcard the subname portion of the value, you can provide a specific name that the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller uses to find matching media profiles.

You can also enter the name value on its own, or wildcard the entire value. Leaving the subname value empty is also significant in that it allows the realm to use all media profile that have no specified subname. However, you cannot leave the name portion of the value unspecified (as all media profiles are required to have names).

Consider the examples in the following table:

Syntax Example Value Description
<name> PCMU Matches any and all media profiles with the name value configured as PCMU. This entry has the same meaning as a value with this syntax: <name>::*.
<name>:: PCMU:: Matches a media profile with the name with the name value configured as PCMU with an empty subname parameter.
<name>::<subname> PCMU::64k Matches a media profiles with the name with the name value configured as PCMU with the subname parameter set to 64k.
* * Matches anything, but does not have to be a defined media profile.
*::* *::* Matches any and all media profiles, but requires the presence of media profile configurations.
*::<subname> *::64k Matches all media profiles with this subname. You might have a group of media profiles with different names, but the same subname value.
*:: *:: Matches any media profiles with an empty subname parameter.
:: :: Invalid
::* ::* Invalid

The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller performs matching for wildcarded match-media-profiles values last. Specific entries are applies first and take precedence. When the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller must decide between media profiles matches, it selects the first match.

To use media profiles for a realm:

  1. In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.
    ORACLE# configure terminal
    ORACLE(configure)#
  2. Type media-manager and press Enter.
    ORACLE(configure)# media-manager
    ORACLE(media-manager)#
  3. Type realm-config and press Enter. If you are adding this feature to a pre-existing realm configuration, you will need to select and edit your realm.
    ORACLE(media-manager)# realm-config
    ORACLE(realm-config)#
  4. match-media-profiles—In the form <name>::<subname>, enter the media profiles you would like applied to this realm. These values correspond to the name and subname parameters in the media profile configuration. You can wildcard either of these portions of the value, or you can leave the <subname> portion empty.

    This parameter has no default.

  5. Save and activate your configuration.
