Software Adaptations for Physical Interfaces

Having been installed on a virtual machine, Oracle Communications Session Border Controller physical interface configuration elements provide for the applicable properties and same statistics measurements as are available for Acme Packet platform interfaces. With the exception of the MACTAB file, the abstraction of these elements from those physical ports is transparent to the user.

The user must independently understand the bus or virtual network paths used by their hardware to access physical ports. Refer to your hardware or virtual machine documentation for information about proper configuration and operation related to, for example, physical port location and speed. The user must consider these system and physical details when configuring Oracle Communications Session Border Controller phy-interface elements, which is documented in the ACLI Configuration Guide.

Media Interface Consideration

The template Oracle provides for VM deployment selects the correct interface detail for both management and media interfaces during deployment. If you are using a manual deployment approach or you wish to change interface selection after deployment, Use either Paravirtual, PCI-pt or SR-IOV I/O mode for media interfaces.
