Collection Group Prerequisites

Before configuring a collection group, ensure SFTP is set up for pushing HDR data from Session Border Controller (SBC) and Enterprise Session Border Controller (ESBC) devices to the Management Cloud Engine (MCE) acting as the push receiver server.

To generate and export the host key:
  1. Log in to the MCE server as the root user using the LAN/Private IP.
    su root
  2. Navigate to the SSH directory.
    cd /etc/ssh
  3. Generate the SSH host key using the following command.
    ssh-keygen -e -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
  4. Copy the base64-encoded public key, ensuring it includes the BEGIN and END markers as specified by RFC 4716. For example:
    --- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ---  
<generated public key>  
--- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ---
  5. Log into the SBC/ESBC device CLI and access admin mode.
  6. Import the host key using the ssh-key command.
    ORACLE# ssh-key known-host import <mce_server_ip>
  7. Paste the host key with the BEGIN and END markers at the cursor point.
  8. Terminate the key input with a semicolon (;).
  9. Save and activate the configuration.
    ORACLE# save-config  
ORACLE# activate-config
  10. Verify the host key using the following command.
    ORACLE# show running-config ssh-key
  11. Repeat steps 5-10 for additional devices.
