Communication Monitor

Use the following procedure to configure the Oracle Communications Operations Monitor (OCOM).

Note:

Enabling the comm-monitor so that the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) sends call information to OCOM results in a significant performance load. Contact Oracle Customer Support for more information.

From superuser mode, access comm-monitor configuration mode. Establish a connection between the E-SBC, acting as a exporter of protocol message traffic and related data, and an OCOM Mediation Engine, acting as an information collector.

1. Access the comm-monitor configuration.

   ACMEPACKET# configure terminal
   ACMEPACKET(configure)# system
   ACMEPACKET(system)# system-config
   ACMEPACKET(system-config)# comm-monitor
   ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)#

2. state—Enable or disable communication monitoring. Default: disabled.

   ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)# state enabled
   ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)#

3. sbc-group-id—Retain the default or assign another integer value to the E-SBC in its role as an information exporter. Default: 0.

   ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)# sbc-group-id 5
   ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)#

4. qos-enable —Enable or disable the export of RTP, SRTP, and QOS data flow information.

   ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)# qos-enable enabled
   ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)#

5. interim-qos-update—Enable or disable 10 second interim QoS update.

   ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)# interim-qos-enable enabled
   ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)#

6. monitor-collector —Move to monitor-collector configuration mode.

   In this mode you identify an OCOM Mediation Engine collector by IP address and port number.

   ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)# monitor-collector
   ACMEPACKET(monitor-collector)#

7. address and port—Specify the IP address and port number monitored by an OCOM Mediation Engine for incoming IPFIX traffic.
   Enter an IPv4 address and a port number with values either 4739 (unsecured) or 4740 (secured). Default: 4739.

   ACMEPACKET(monitor-collector)# address 172.30.101.239
   ACMEPACKET(monitor-collector)# port 4739
   ACMEPACKET(monitor-collector)#

8. Use the network-interface parameter to specify the network interface that supports the TCP connection between the E-SBC to the OCOM Mediation Engine.
   • To specify the wancom0 management interface:

     ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)# network-interface wancom0:0
     ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)#

   • To specify a media interface:

     ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)# network-interface m01
     ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)#

9. Typedone and exit to return to comm-monitor configuration mode.
10. Type done, exit, and verify-config to complete configuration.
11. Repeat the procedure to configure additional connections to OCOM, as needed.

• Optional—If the network interface specified in Step 8 is a media interface, you can optionally use TLS to encrypt the exporter-collector connection. To enable TLS encryption, use the tls-profile parameter to identify a TLS profile to be assigned to the network interface. The absence of an assigned TLS profile (the default state) results in unencrypted transmission. See TLS Profile Configuration for configuration details.

  ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)# tls-profile commMonitor
  ACMEPACKET(comm-monitor)#
