Use the following sections to configure Avaya Session Border Controller (Avaya SBC) for the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway. You require Avaya SBC when you have clients located outside the enterprise firewall. For example, Avaya SBC is required if you need remote worker functionality. Avaya SBC is not required if all client users are on the private network within the enterprise firewall.

The Avaya Aura® Web Gateway can use the following services:

• Reverse proxy service, which handles HTTP or HTTPS traffic form outside the firewall into the internal network. Reverse proxy is placed on the DMZ and routes HTTP(S) traffic to the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway for external clients.

• TURN service, which is required when the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway interacts with browser-based audio and video clients outside the enterprise.

• Session border controller service, which is required for audio and video clients to make calls outside the enterprise.

Avaya Session Border Controller provides this functionality as an Edge device. You do not need a dedicated Avaya SBC for Avaya Aura® Web Gateway. You can use any Avaya SBC within the enterprise.
