IP Configuration and Identification

You must specify the identity and address for all network interfaces.

Set the following parameters to configure a network interface:

  1. name—Set the name for the network interface. This must be the same name as the phy-interface to which it corresponds.
  2. description—Enter a description of the network for easier identification.
  3. hostname—Set the hostname (FQDN) of this network interface. This parameter is optional.
  4. ip-address—Set the IP address of this network interface.
  5. netmask—Set the netmask of this network interface in dotted decimal notation.
  6. gateway—Set the gateway that this network interface uses to communicate with the next hop.
    Oracle recommends, as a best-practice, that you always configure a gateway for the media interfaces. If the only trigger to learn a gateway or a directly connected endpoint is ingress media packets, then the SBC typically drops initial packets of a first call until the gateway or the endpoint L2 MAC address is resolved.
  7. sec-gateway—Set an additional optional gateway for this network interface
  8. dns-ip-primary—Set the DNS servers. You can set an additional two DNS servers by using the dns-ip-backup1 and dns-ip-backup2 parameters.
  9. dns-domain—Set the default domain name.
  10. signaling-mtu—Sets the MTU size for IPv4 or IPv6 transmission.
