Configuring General System Information

This section explains how to configure the general system parameters, timeouts, and the default gateway necessary to configure your Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller.

To configure general system information:

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

   ORACLE# configure terminal

2. Type system and press Enter to access the system-level configuration elements.

   ORACLE(configure)# system

3. Type system-config and press Enter. The system prompt changes to let you know that you can begin configuring individual parameters.

   ORACLE(system)# system-config
   ORACLE(system-config)#

   The following is an example what a general system information configuration might look like. Parameters not described in this section are omitted below.

   ORACLE(system-config)# show
   system-config
           hostname                       test1
           description                    Example SD
           location                       Row 3, Rack 4, Slot 451
           default-gateway                10.0.2.1
           telnet-timeout                 1000
           console-timeout                1000
           last-modified-date             2004-12-08 20:15:43

   When showing a single-instance configuration element such as system-config, you must first use the select command to select the configuration element prior to viewing.

System Identification

You must specify identification parameters for this Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller.

Set the following parameters to configure the system identification:

1. hostname—Set the primary hostname used to identify the system. This parameter is used by the software for informational purposes.
2. description—Enter a textual description of thesystem. This parameter is used for informational purposes.
3. location—Set a location description field for your system. This parameter is used for informational purposes. For example, you could include the site name and address of the location where the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller system chassis is located.
4. default-gateway—Set the default gateway for this Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller. This is the egress gateway for traffic without an explicit destination. The application of your Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller determines the configuration of this parameter.

Configuring Connection and Debug Logging Timeouts

Configure the timeouts for terminal sessions on this Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller. These parameters are optional.

Set the following parameters to configure the connection timeouts:

1. telnet-timeout—Set this timeout to the number of seconds you want the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller to wait before it disconnects an SSH session. The default value is 0. The valid range is:

   • Minimum—0

   • Maximum—65535

2. console-timeout—Set the console timeout to the number of seconds you want the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller to wait before it ends the console session. The default value is 0. The valid range is:

   • Minimum—0

   • Maximum—65535

3. debug-timeout—Set the time in seconds you want to use for the debug timeout. This is the time allowed before the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller times out log levels for system processes set to debug using the ACLI notify and debug commands.

   This command does not affect log levels set in your configuration (using parameters such as system-config, process-log-level) or those set using the ACLI log-level command.

   The valid range is:

   • Minimum—0

   • Maximum—65535
