  • 1: Enable privacy extensions with a preference for public addresses over temporary addresses. One stable address is generated using modified EUI-64 format interface identifier based on the device MAC address and one temporary private address is generated. This parameter value overrides the default RFC6724 SASA Rule 7 to prefer a manual, DHCPv6, or stable SLAAC address over a SLAAC temporary address.

  • 2: Enable privacy extensions with a preference for temporary addresses over public addresses. One stable address is generated using modified EUI-64 format interface identifier based on the device MAC address and one temporary private address is generated. The device address selection preference is based on default RFC6724 SASA rules. The default SASA rule 7 is used to prefer a SLAAC temporary address over manual, DHCPv6, or stable SLAAC addresses.

For provisioning, use:

  • The SET command in the 46xxsettings.txt file.

  • The settings file received from Avaya Aura® Device Services.

DUAL_IPPREF

Numeric

4

Specifies IPv4 or IPv6 preferences. The parameter controls the selection of SSON either from DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 when the device is in dual mode.

DHCP clients use DUAL_IPPREF to decide which SSON configuration attributes to apply for DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 interworking in dual mode.

Assign on of the following values:

  • 4: Prefer IPv4 over IPv6.

  • 6: Prefer IPv6 over IPv4.

For provisioning, use:

  • The SET command in the 46xxsettings.txt file.

  • The settings file received from Avaya Aura® Device Services.

SIGNALING_ADDR_MODE

Numeric

4

Specifies IPv4 or IPv6 preference for SIP registration. This parameter comes into effect only when both the device and Session Manager are in dual mode with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses configured.

Based on the value of the parameter, the Avaya™ Client SDK application uses the preferred IP addresses of Session Manager from SIP_CONTROLLER_LIST.

Assign on of the following values:

  • 4: Prefer IPv4 over IPv6.

  • 6: Prefer IPv6 over IPv4.

This parameter is not supported in the non Avaya™ Client SDK application based mode.

If Avaya Vantage™ is in IPv4 or IPv6 only mode, it ignores SIGNALING_ADDR_MODE.

If Avaya Vantage™ is in IPv4 only mode, and Session Manager is either in IPv4 only or dual mode, then the SIP controller’s IPv4 addresses are selected from SIP_CONTROLLER_LIST for SIP registration. If Session Manager is in IPv6 only mode, the Avaya™ Client SDK application cannot connect with the SIP controller.

If Avaya Vantage™ is in IPv6 only mode, and Session Manager is either in IPv6 only or dual mode, then the SIP controller’s IPv6 addresses are selected from SIP_CONTROLLER_LIST for SIP registration.

Important:

To avoid multiple registrations to the same SIP controller over IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, you must configure only IPv4, IPv6, or FQDN addresses for each SIP controller in SIP_CONTROLLER_LIST through all provisioning sources. Do not configure mix of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for the same SIP controller.

For provisioning, use:

  • The value stored on the PPM server.

  • The SET command in the 46xxsettings.txt file.

  • The settings file received from Avaya Aura® Device Services.
