ACLI Configuration Element Changes

This section summarizes the ACLI configuration element changes that first appear in release Oracle Communications Session Border ControllerS-CZ8.1.0

Security Features

New Parameters Description
security, authentication, tacacs-authentication-only Adds the tacacs-authentication-only parameter to restrict login authentication to TACACS if it is available.
security, ssh-config Element that provides access to global SSH configuration settings.
security, ssh-config, keyex-algorithms Allows you to specify which key exchange algorithms are offered during SSH session negotiation
security, ssh-config, hostkey-algorithms Allows you to specify which host key algorithms are offered during SSH session negotiation
security, ssh-config, encr-algorithms Allows you to specify which encryption algorithms are offered during SSH session negotiation
security, ssh-config, hmac-algorithms Allows you to specify which HMAC algorithms are offered during SSH session negotiation
security, tls-profile, cipher-list The default value has changed from all to default.
security, tls-profile, tls-version The SSLv3 option is no longer supported.
security, ike, tls-config, ike-version

The parameter now accepts version 2 as a value.

Although version 2 is available for configuration, it is supported only for LI interfaces.

Available in S-CZ8.1.0M1

ENUM Features

New Parameters Description
session-router, enum-config, remote-recursion Adds the remote-recursion parameter to allow the user to disable ENUM server

VoLTE Features

New Parameters Description
session-router, sip-interface, charging-vector-mode Adds the conditional-insert parameter to specify header insertion behavior based on original message content.
session-router, sip-interface, charging-function-address-mode Adds the conditional-insert parameter to specify header insertion behavior based on original message content.
session-router, sip-feature-caps Adds the pre-alerting parameter to enable SRVCC support during the pre-alerting phase.

Released with S-CZ8.1.0M1

External Policy Server Features

New Parameters Description
media-manage, policy-group Defines a group of policy servers for load balancing. Parameters include:
  • group-name—policy server group name
  • description—
  • state—administrative state
  • policy-agents—
  • strategy—strategy for rotating destinations
  • max-recursions—Max number of recursions
  • stop-recurse—Response codes that stop recursion
  • recursion-timeout—DIAMETER transaction expiration timer (secs)
media-manager, policy-group, policy-agent Defines the policy servers for load balancing within the context of the policy group. Parameters include:
  • name—policy agent name
  • description—
  • state—administrative state
  • address—FQDN/IP Address address of external bandwidth manager
  • port—port
  • realm—name of realm to send requests on
  • watch-dog-ka-timer—watchdog/keep-alive msg interval
  • transport-protocol—transport protocol
  • local-multi-addr-list—Multihomed IP Address
  • remote-multi-addr-list—Multihomed IP Address
  • sctp-send-mode—SCTP message delivery mode ordering
media-manager, ext-policy-server, transport-protocol

Select a specified protocol or the special value all that specifies transport-protocol based matching criteria for inbound and outbound traffic.

• Default: TCP

• Values: SCTP | TCP

media-manager, ext-policy-server, local-multi-homing if the remote primary address is not reachable, the SCTP association fails even if an alternate path is possible.

Assigns the local address that the remote station can use for multi-homing redundancy.

media-manager, ext-policy-server, remote-multi-homing

Assigns the remote address that the local station can use for multi-homing redundancy.

media-manager, ext-policy-server, sctp-send-mode

Leave this parameter set to its default (unordered) so data delivery can occur without regard to stream sequence numbering. If data delivery must follow stream sequence number, change this parameter to ordered.

• Default: unordered

• Values: ordered | unordered

Transcoding Features

New Parameters Description
media-manager, codec-policy, fax-single-m-line Set this parameter to the preferred FAX media type for Re-INVITEs to endstations that do not support multiple m-lines. The system issues Re-INVITEs using the configured media type only. Should the negotiation fail, the system issues another Re-INVITE that offers the other media type.

Message Counter Features

The following new components appear within the following session-router elements, using the listed order to define configuration precedence:

  1. session-agent
  2. sip-interface
  3. realm-config
New Parameters Description
sm-icsi-match-for-invite

<pattern> (i.e. Large Message Mode Standalone message).

E.g: urn:urn-7:3gpp-service.ims.icsi.oma.cpm.largemsg (as per ABNF mentioned in RFC-6050)

match icsi value for INVITE

sm-icsi-match-for-message

<pattern> (i.e. Pager mode Standalone message).

E.g: urn:urn-7:3gpp-service.ims.icsi.oma.cpm.msg (as per ABNF mentioned in RFC-6050)

match icsi value for MESSAGE

HDR Features

New Parameters Description
system, system-config, collect, group-settings, group-name Adds new collection groups, including traffic counters for:
  • sip-method
  • sip-realm-method
  • sip-interface-method
  • sip-agent-method

Single radio voice call continuity counter

  • sip-srvcc

External policy server counter:

  • ext-rx-policy-server

Security related counters, including:

  • sa-ike
  • sa-imsaka
  • sa-srtp

Transcoding related counters, including:

  • xcode-session-gen-info
  • xcode-codec-util
  • xcode-tcm-util

SIP traffic counters, including:

  • sip-method
  • sip-realm-method
  • sip-interface-method
  • sip-agent-method

TLS Features

New Parameters Description
security, tls-profile, cipher-list The default value for this parameter is changed to Default in this software version.

This prevents the former default of All from including ciphers that Oracle has deemed weak.

In addition, the cipher list has been updated to the following (for tlsv1, tlsv11, tlsv12 and compatibility):

  • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256
  • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
  • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256
  • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
  • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
  • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
  • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  • TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
