1. Service Provider and Session Router Release Notes
  2. Introduction to S-Cz8.2.0
  3. Deprecated Features

Deprecated Features

The features listed in this section are removed from the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller beginning with the version stated.

Feature Description First Deprecated
MSRP Stitching

This feature, which supported peer-to-peer TCP connections for peers behind NATs, enabling Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) clients to communicate with one another, is not supported.

Note that your can still accomplish this function using MSRP B2BUA.

SCZ8.0.0
Telnet

Telnet is not supported. Use SSH for network access to OCSBC management.

Note that references to Telnet and FTP are still present in the S-CZ8.0.0 documentation set because those terms are still used in the ACLI.

For example, the telnet-timeout parameter persists in the guide because it persists in system-config. In the absence of Telnet support, the telnet-timeout parameter now sets the SSH timeout.

SCZ8.0.0
ACLI "management" Command

The management command is not supported, and removed from the ACLI.

SCZ8.0.0
The dynamic-trusted-drop-threshold Feature

The media-manager-config's dynamic-trusted-drop-threshold feature is not supported, and the parameter is removed from the ACLI.

SCZ8.0.0
Acme Packet 3820 and 4500

This version of software does not support the Acme Packet 3820 and the Acme Packet 4500 platforms.

SCZ8.0.0
The phy-link redundancy Feature

The phy-interface's phy-link redundancy feature, which was available on the Acme Packet 3820 and 4500 platforms, is not supported. The parameter is also removed from the ACLI.

SCZ8.0.0
The minimum-reserved-bandwidth Feature

The access-control's minimum-reserved-bandwidth feature, which was available on the Acme Packet 3820 and 4500 platforms, is not supported.

SCZ8.0.0
TLS Ciphers
  • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA
  • TLS_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA
  • TLS_RSA_EXPORT1024_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA
SCZ8.1.0
secure-traps

Within the context of the OCSBC's comprehensive SNMPv3 support, the secure-traps value is removed from the snmp-agent-mode parameter.

In addition, the elimination of secure-traps means that the following protocols are deprecated for use by SNMP:

  • DES privacy protocol
  • MD5 and SHA authentication protocols
SCZ8.1.0

For your information, the following table carries forward the list of deprecated features noted in previous Release Notes.

Feature Description First Deprecated
DES-CBC Ciphers

The OCSBC deprecates the following ciphers, adhering to recent OpenSSL changes intended to eliminate weak ciphers:

  • All DES-CBC ciphers, including:
    • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA
    • TLS_RSA_EXPORT1024_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA

The user should remove any prior Oracle Communications Session Border Controller version configuration that used these ciphers, and not configure a security profile with the expectation that these ciphers are available. Note also that TLS profiles using the ALL (default) value to the cipher-list parameter no longer use these ciphers.

Note:

Your version of the ACLI may still display these ciphers within the tls-profile, cipher-list parameter. Despite displaying them in ACLI output, the system does not support them.
SCZ740m1
FTP Support

The OCSBC's FTP Server is not supported.

Only FTP client services are supported. For example, FTP client service for HDR/CDR push is supported.

Note that both the SFTP client and server are supported.

Note:

Despite deprecation, the parameter is still present in the system-config.
