Setting Up System Basics

Before configuring and deploying the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller, you might want to establish some basic attributes such as a system prompt, new User and Superuser passwords, and NTP synchronization.

New System Prompt

The ACLI system prompt is set in the boot parameters. To change it, access the boot parameters and change the target name value to make it meaningful within your network. The target name may be up to 38 characters. A value that identifies the system in some way is often helpful.

Set Initial Passwords for Admin and User

The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (Enterprise SBC) requires you to set passwords for the Admin and User accounts the first time you power up a new or factory reset system by way of local access. You cannot access the Admin and User accounts until you set the corresponding passwords. Use either an SSH or console connection when setting passwords. The following procedure is for local access. If you use remote access, for example, RADIUS or TACACS, use your passwords for those services.

Before you begin, plan your passwords to meet the following requirements:
  • 8-64 characters
  • Include three of the following:
    • Lower case letters
    • Uppercase letters
    • Numerals
    • Punctuation
The system leads you through the process for setting the Admin and User passwords, as follows:
  1. Power up the SBC.
    The system prompts you to set the User account password.
  2. At the prompt, type acme, and press ENTER.
    The system prompts you to enter the password that you want for the User account.
  3. Type the User account password, and press ENTER.
  4. Type enable, and press ENTER.
    The system prompts you to set the Admin account password.
  5. Type packet, and press ENTER.
    The system prompts you to enter the password that you want for the Admin account.
  6. Type the Admin account password, and press ENTER.
    The system logs you in as Admin.
