Mediant 4000 SBC | User's Manual
Parameter Description
registration-mode
[IPGroup_RegistrationMode]
■ [0] User Initiates Registration (default)
■ [1] SBC Initiates Registration = Used when the
device serves as a client (e.g., with an IP PBX). This
functions only with the User Information table (see
Configuring SBC User Information Table through
Web Interface
on page 448).
■ [2] Registrations not Needed = The device adds
users to its database in active state.
'User Stickiness'
sbc-user-stickiness
[IPGroup_SBCUserStickiness]
Enables user "stickiness" (binding) to a specific registrar
server. The registrar server is one of the IP addresses of
the Proxy Set associated with this Server-type IP
Group. This feature applies to users belonging to a User-
type IP Group that are routed to this destination Server-
type IP Group.
■ [0] Disable = After a successful initial registration of
the user to a registrar, whenever the device receives
a SIP request or registration refresh from the user,
the device sends the request to whichever registrar
(IP address of the Proxy Set) is currently active. In
the case of proxy load-balancing, there is no
certainty to which IP address the request is routed.
■ [1] Enable = The device always routes SIP requests
(INVITEs, SUBSCRIBEs and REGISTER
refreshes) received from the user to the same
registrar server to which the last successful
REGISTER request for that user was routed. In
other words, once initial registration of the user to
one of the IP addresses of the Proxy Set associated
with this destination Server-type IP Group is
successful (i.e., 200 OK), binding occurs to this
specific address (registrar) and all future SIP
requests from the user are routed (based on matched
routing rule) only to this specific registrar.
Note:
■ The parameter is applicable only to Server-type IP
Groups
■ The Proxy Set associated with the Server-type IP
Group must be configured with multiple IP addresses
(or an FQDN that resolves into multiple IP
addresses).
■ This feature is also applicable to IP Group Sets (see
Configuring IP Group Sets ). If a user is bound to a
registrar associated with this Server-type IP Group
which also belongs to an IP Group Set, IP Group Set
logic of choosing an IP Group is ignored and instead,
the device always routes requests from this user to
this specific registrar.
■ A user's "stickiness" to a specific registrar ends
upon the following scenarios:
