Creating Steering Pools for Multiple Interface Realms

To configure steering pools for multi-interface realms:

1. In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.

   ORACLE# configure terminal

2. Type media-manager and press Enter to access the media-manager path.

   ORACLE(configure)# media-manager

3. Type steering-pool and press Enter. The system prompt changes.

   ORACLE(media-manager)# steering-pool
   ORACLE(steering-pool)#

   From this point, you can configure steering pools which collectively bridge the multiple network interfaces they are connected to.

4. ip-address—Enter the IP address of the first steering pool on the first network interface.

   This IP address must correspond to an IP address within the subnet of a network interface you have already configured.

   This IP can not exist on a network interface other than the one you configure in the network-interface parameter.

5. start-port—Enter the beginning port number of the port range for this steering pool. The default is 0. The valid range is:

   • Minimum—0

   • Maximum—65535

6. end-port—Enter the ending port number of the port range for this steering pool. The default is 0. The valid range is:

   • Minimum—0

   • Maximum—65535

7. realm-id—Enter the name of the realm which this steering pool directs its media traffic toward.
8. network-interface—Enter the name of the network interface you want this steering pool to direct its media toward. This parameter will match a name parameter in the network-interface configuration element. If you do not configure this parameter, you can only assign a realm to a single network interface, as the behavior was in all Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller Software releases pre- 2.1.
9. Create additional steering pools on this and on other network interfaces as needed. Remember to type done when you are finished configuring each new steering pool.
