Use Session Element Manager to Configure Product Devices

You can configure some basic parameters for product devices, which includes bootstrapping, system, SNMP, and traps, and the configuration of some basic networking parameters for session delivery products. See your session delivery product device documentation for more configuration information that is beyond the scope of this guide.

Note:

For Oracle Enterprise products, Session Element Manager supports only the Enterprise Session Border Controller (ESBC) and the Enterprise Communications Broker (ECB).

Verify Product Device Configurations

The product device configurations you plan to manage using Oracle Communications Session Element Manager must have the correct system information configured to properly load into Configuration Manager. See the product device documentation for more information about the CLI commands that are used in these system configurations.

Note:

For Oracle Enterprise products, verifying the configuration supports only the Enterprise Session Border Controller (ESBC) and the Enterprise Communications Broker (ECB).

Check Boot Parameters

Boot parameters specify the information that your Oracle Communications Session Delivery product device uses at boot time when it prepares to run applications. You must configure the system IP address, subnetwork (subnet) mask for the management interface (wancom0), and a unique target name.

Note:

Do not use the default session delivery product name acmesystem.

Oracle Communications Session Element Manager uses the target name to uniquely identify a device from the list of Oracle Communications Session Delivery product devices in the content area. You need to ensure that all Oracle Communications Session Delivery product devices you plan to load and manage have unique target names or the entire list of Oracle Communications Session Delivery product devices appear with the default acmesystem name.

Note:

For Oracle Enterprise products, check boot parameters supports only the Enterprise Session Border Controller (ESBC) and the Enterprise Communications Broker (ECB).

Check the System Configuration Element

Ensure the system-config element, which establishes that general system information and settings for the product device is configured with the following SNMP and networking parameters:

  • System contact information.
  • System ID.
  • Physical location of the system.
  • SNMP is enabled on the system.
  • Traps are enabled on the system.
  • The network default gateway IP address is configured.

For more information about configuring these parameters, see your product device configuration documentation.

Note:

For Oracle Enterprise products, check system configuration supports only the Enterprise Session Border Controller (ESBC) and the Enterprise Communications Broker (ECB).

Check the SNMP Community Element

The snmp-community element must be configured with the following parameters to specify the Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager server from which your Oracle Communications Session Delivery product device accepts SNMP requests:

  • Ensure that the Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager server IP address is configured and the server is running.
  • Ensure that the IP address(es) for SNMP communities are specified for authentication purposes. If the snmp-community element is configured for a cluster, you must add all the IP addresses for each member in the Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager server cluster.
  • If you change the snmp-community values for your Oracle Communications Session Delivery product device, you must remove this device from the Device Manager, and add it again so that the Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager server can update this SNMP information.

Note:

For Oracle Enterprise products, check SNMP community supports only the Enterprise Session Border Controller (ESBC) and the Enterprise Communications Broker (ECB).

Check the Trap Receiver Element

The trap-receiver element is configured on the Oracle Communications Session Delivery product devices so that the Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager server can receive SNMP traps for event reporting. Ensure that the following parameters are specified:

  • The Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager server IP address is specified.
  • The filter level must be set to All.
  • The community name must match the name in the SNMP community element.

    Note:

    If you configure the trap-receiver element for a cluster, you need to add all the IP addresses for each member in an Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager server cluster.

Note:

For Oracle Enterprise products, check trap receiver supports only the Enterprise Session Border Controller (ESBC) and the Enterprise Communications Broker (ECB).
