System Configuration

To configure system-level functionality for the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC), you configure both physical and network interfaces as well as general system information parameters. Physical and network interfaces enable the E-SBC to communicate with any network element. General system parameters provide information for operational and identification purposes. The default gateway general system parameter is especially important because its configuration depends on the type of traffic you want the E-SBC to service.

System Configuration also includes specifying:

• SNMP—used for monitoring system health throughout a network.
• Syslogs and Process logs—used to save a list of system events to a remote server for analysis and auditing purposes.
• Host Routes—used to instruct the E-SBC host how to reach a given network that is not directly connected to a local network interface.
• Accounting—used to collect and store the information in Accountin-start and Accounting-stop messages.
• DNS—used to resolve Internet domain names to IP addresses.
• NTP synchronization—used to set both the network and software clocks to a common reference time.
• Alarms and traps—used to set the severity of system conditions and corresponding alarms.
