1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose of this Document

This installation and deployment guide is intended to introduce you to the initial installation, setup and configuration of the

Dialogic BorderNet Session Border Controller for virtualized deployments.

The document is organized according to the following sections:

Prerequisites

System Setup

Accessing the BorderNet SBC Web UI

Configuration

Advanced Configuration

The virtualized deployments in this document cover the following options:

Sharing. The virtualized applications use a vSwitch and share the physical I/O Device's resources (covers the VMware and KVM

deployments).

Direct. Covers the following two options (covers only the VMware deployment):

Pass-through. Application requiring a high capacity and performance can directly use all the physical I/O device's resources.

Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV). Allows the split of a physical I/O device to smaller slices, where each can be accessed

either directly (without a vSwitch - pass-through), or accessed as a regular virtualized sharing, using a vSwitch. This method is

used for low capacity and performance applications. To implement this method additional hardware is required.

For the BorderNet SBC AWS cloud deployments, see the BorderNet SBC Amazon Installation and Deployment User Guide.

Table 2: Minimum Instance Requirements

Note:

Dialogic does not provide product or support services for VMware vSphere ESXi/KVM or the underlying x86- platform. It is the

customer's responsibility to provide and maintain an x86 server(s) compatible with the VMware vSphere/KVM.

2.2 Networking and Connectivity Considerations

2.2.1 Setup Type

There are three ways to set-up the BorderNet SBC:

Standalone. One virtual machine instance is designated as the primary system.

High Availability (HA). Two virtual machine instances are designated (

Primary

and

Secondary

Geo-Redundancy. Deployment of multiple BorderNets on dierent networks.

Note:

The setup cannot be changed unless you reconfigure the initial system.

Geo-Redundancy enables the deployment of the BorderNet SBC in High Availability mode where each platform/instance (primary

and secondary) is located on two dierent networks or sites.

In this deployment mode, each BorderNet SBC has its own set of IP addresses which can be on a totally dierent network:

Install Guide Virtualized DeploymentDialogic Session Border Controller

Dialogic Inc. Proprietary Page 10/80

Management IP address: Each platform has its own management IP address as opposed to normal HA deployment mode

where the management IP addresses are shared between primary and secondary

Utility IP address

HA link IP address

HA link Gateway IP address (since each platform can be placed on a dierent network, the BorderNet SBC needs a Gateway IP

address to be able to reach its partner platform)

Traic IP addresses: Each platform will have its own sets of traic IP addresses as opposed to normal HA deployment mode

where traic IP addresses are shared between primary and secondary

Geo-Redundancy can be implemented on bare metal deployment, virtualized deployment or cloud deployment.

There is no restriction with regards to the locations of the BorderNet SBCs. This enables more complex deployments where each

BorderNet entity has its own set of IP addresses that can be on a totally dierent network. Therefore Geo-Redundancy allows each

BorderNet SBC on a High Availability deployment to be located in cities or countries thousands of miles apart from each other.

2.2.2 Utility IP Address

Each virtual machine instance must have its own Utility IP Address that is used for access (for example, FTP or Telnet to the

platform). The Utility IP Address is fixed to the instance and is not shared.

Note:

The Utility IP Address cannot be used to access the BorderNet SBC Web UI.

2.2.3 System Management IP Address

The System Management IP Address is used to access the BorderNet SBC, including via Web UI access. For HA configurations, this

IP Address is shared (floating) between the Primary and Secondary instances. This address must be on the same subnet as the

Utility IP Address (above).

2.2.4 Sample Network

The following provides an example of a typical network, which contains three separate logical networks:

Management

Traic

The following diagram shows the network configuration.

3. Network Setup

Before the installation, the network topology should be designed and implemented. This section shows two dierent standalone

network deployment examples.

3.1 Three Subnets

In this deployment, the BorderNet SBC is configured with three subnets, as depicted in the figure below:

Figure 3: Three Subnets

→ To set the VMWare to configure the network:

1. Create the vSwitch0. SBC Management on MGMT subnet (including HA).

2. Create the vSwitch2. WAN Traic on WAN/External subnet (not relevant for direct path native connect).

3. Create the vSwitch3. LAN Traic on LAN Subnet (not relevant for direct path native connect).
