Network Button
Use the Network button to access the following configuration elements.
Host route | Specify where to direct management traffic. |
Network interface | Specify a logical network interface over which you can configure one or more SIP interfaces. |
Host Routes
Host routes let you insert entries into the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) routing table. These routes affect traffic that originates at the E-SBC host process. Host routes are used primarily for steering management traffic to the correct network.
When traffic is destined for a network that is not explicitly defined on an E-SBC, the default gateway is used. If you try to route traffic to a specific destination that is not accessible through the default gateway, you need to add a host route. Host routes can be thought of as a default gateway override.
Certain SIP configurations require that the default gateway is located on a front media interface. In this scenario, if management applications are located on a network connected to a rear-interface network, you need to add a host route for management connectivity.
When source-based routing is used, the default gateway must exist on a front media interface. Host routes might be needed to reach management applications connected to a wancom port in this kind of situation.
Add a Host Route
You can configure the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) to steer management traffic to the correct network by inserting an entry in the routing table.
Use the following procedure to insert an entry into the E-SBC routing table.
Network Interface Configuration
The network interface element specifies a logical network interface. In order to use a network port on a network interface, you must configure both the physical interface and the corresponding network interface configuration elements.
Add a Network Interface
Use the network interface element to create and configure a logical network interface.
You can add a network interface from the Web GUI in either Basic mode or Expert mode. If the network interface does not use VLANs tagging, ensure that the subport ID field is set to 0, the default value. When VLAN tags are used on a network interface, the valid subport ID value can range from 1-4096. Network interface is a multiple instance configuration element. The combination of the name field and the subport ID field must be unique in order to identify a discrete network interface. Except where noted, you can use an IPv6 IP address in any parameter in the following procedure.
