Data Flow Configuration

If you need to configure address pools, first configure data flows and then assign them to a specific local address pool. A data flow establishes a static route between a remote IKEv2 peer and a core gateway or router which provides routing services after the associated traffic exits the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller.

1. Access the data-flow configuration element.

   ORACLE# configure terminal
   ORACLE(configure)# security
   ORACLE(security)# ike
   ORACLE(ike)# data-flow
   ORACLE(data-flow)#

2. name—Provide a unique identifier for this 
data-flow instance.
3. realm-id—Identify the realm that supports 
data-flow upstream traffic, that is traffic toward the network core.
4. group-size—(Optional) Specify the maximum number of user elements grouped together by this data-flow instance.

   The size of the associated local-address-pool is divided by this value to segment the address pool into smaller groups. After determining the start address for each of the smaller address groups, the OCSBC uses the data-flow configuration to establish two static flows for each of the address groups — a downstream data-flow, in the access direction, and an upstream data-flow (via the realm specified by the realm-id parameter) toward a core gateway/router which provides forwarding service for the pass-thru data-flow.

   Allowable values are the powers of 2 between 1 through 256.

   ORACLE(data-flow)# group-size 32

5. upstream-rate—Specify the allocated upstream bandwidth.
   • Min: 0 (allocate all available bandwidth)
   • Max: 122070
6. downstream-rate—Specify the allocated downstream bandwidth.
   • Min: 0 (allocate all available bandwidth)
   • Max: 122070
7. Type done to save your configuration.
