Introduction

This chapter explains how to configure system-level functionality for the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller. Both physical and network interfaces as well as general system parameters are required to configure your Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller for service. Accounting functionality, SNMP configurations, trap configurations, and host routes are optional.

The following configurations are explained in this chapter:

• General system parameters—used for operating and identification purposes. In general, the informational fields have no specific effect on services, but are important to keep populated. The default gateway parameter is included here. It requires special attention since its configuration is dependent on the type of traffic the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller is servicing.
• Physical and network interfaces—enables the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller to communicate with any network element. Interfaces are one of the most basic configurations you need to create.
• 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 Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller host how to reach a given network that is not directly connected to a local network interface.
