Service Ports Configuration

A service-port is essentially a SIP port monitored by the SLB for incoming signaling from the user population. For virtually all network topologies, multiple service ports are expected on a typical SLB configuration. A service-port is a multiple instance configuration element; for each service-port advertised to the access network(s), at least one service-port configuration element must be configured.

Configuration changes to service-ports cause a reset to the flow-IDs associated with that port. This reset causes a wide variety of data changes, including endpoint re-assignments, data counter discrepancies and so forth. Although these changes are allowed, the user must allow for a significant amount of time to pass before expecting up-to-date show commands and endpoint assignments.

Use the following procedure to perform required service-ports configuration.

From superuser mode, use the following ACLI command sequence to access service-port configuration mode. While in this mode, you configure one or more service-port configuration elements.

ORACLE# configure terminal
ORACLE(configure)# session-router
ORACLE(session-router)# cluster-config
ORACLE(cluster-config)# service-ports
ORACLE(service-port)# ?
address                   IP address
port                      port (default: 5060)
protocol                  transport protocol
network-interface         network interface for service port
select                    select cluster config
no                        delete cluster config
show                      show cluster config
done                      save cluster config information
exit                      return to previous menu
ORACLE(service-port)#

Use the required address parameter to specify the IPv4 or IPv6 address of this service port.
```
ORACLE(service-port)# address 10.0.0.1
ORACLE(service-port)#
```
Use the port parameter to specify the port monitored by the SLB for incoming signaling messages.
In the absence of an explicitly configured port, the SLB provides a default value of 5060 (the registered SIP port).

Allowable values are integers within the range 0 through 65535.
```
ORACLE(service-port)# port 5060
ORACLE(service-port)#
```
Use the protocol parameter to choose the transport protocol.
The supported setting is UDP (the recommended default).
```
ORACLE(service-port)# protocol udp
ORACLE(service-port)#
```
Use the required network-interface parameter to identify the SLB network interface that supports this service port. With this parameter, you have the option of specifying IPv4 or IPv6 (.4 or .6).
```
ORACLE(service-port)# network-interface M00:0.4
ORACLE(service-port)#
```
Use done, exit, and verify-config to complete configuration of this service-port configuration element.
Repeat Steps 1 through 6 to configure additional service-port configuration elements.
