Application Relay tab

Field

Description

General Configuration

Name

Specify a name for the application relay.

Service Type

Specify a service type.

The options are: XMPP, RTCP, LDAP, SCEP, HTTP, CES, and Other.

Remote Configuration

Remote IP/FQDN

Specify the server IP address or FQDN as follows:

  • For RTCP (Core Avaya SBC): Monitoring Server IP address.

  • For IM (DMZ Avaya SBC): Core Avaya SBC external IP address.

  • For Avaya SBC at remote site: DMZ Avaya SBC external/public IP.

Remote Port

Specify the port as follows:

  • For RTCP (Core Avaya SBC): RTCP monitoring port.

  • For IM (DMZ Avaya SBC and remote site): 5222.

Remote Transport

Specify the remote protocol.

Note:

IM messages are sent to Presence over TCP, while other messages, such as Publish messages are sent to Presence using TLS.

The options are: TCP, UDP, and TLS.

Device Configuration

Listen IP

Specify the network name and IP address as follows:

  • For RTCP (Core Avaya SBC): Core Avaya SBC external IP address.

  • For RTCP (DMZ Avaya SBC): DMZ Avaya SBC external IP address.

  • For IM (DMZ Avaya SBC) and Avaya SBC at remote site: Remote Avaya SBC external IP address.

Listen Port

Specify the port as follows:

  • For RTCP (Core Avaya SBC): RTCP monitoring port.

  • For IM (DMZ Avaya SBC and remote site): 5222.

Connect IP

Specify the network name and IP address as follows:

  • For RTCP (Core Avaya SBC): Core Avaya SBC internal IP1 address.

  • For RTCP (DMZ Avaya SBC): DMZ Avaya SBC internal IP address.

  • For IM (DMZ Avaya SBC) and Avaya SBC at remote site: Remote Avaya SBC internal IP address.

Listen Transport

Specify the listen protocol.

The options are: TCP, UDP, and TLS.

Additional Configuration

Whitelist Flows

Select to whitelist flows for XMPP traffic.

Use Relay Actors

Select to use relay actors while configuring Application Relay for RTCP monitoring.

Options

Specify an option:

  • For RTCP (Core Avaya SBC): End-to-end Rewrite, Hop-By-Hop Traceroute, and Bridging.

  • For RTCP (DMZ Avaya SBC): Hop-By-Hop Traceroute.

  • For RTCP (Remote Avaya SBC): End-to-end Rewrite and Hop-By-Hop Traceroute.

Note:

These options are available only when you select the Use Relay Actors check box.

The remote port must be configured to the port of the file server. If port 443 is required, TCP should be used. Both Remote port and Listen port, must be the same. To support firmware downloads, use port 80 for listen port and remote port fields. If the ports used are different, configure multiple relays using the same IP address. If the same port needs to be reused, then a different external IP address must be configured using the Network Management feature.

Reverse Proxy tab

Name

Description

Service Name

Reverse proxy file name.

Enabled

Enables the reverse proxy service.

Listen IP

External Avaya SBC IP address and network name.

Note:

Use a different IP address for SIP signaling and media.

Listen Port

80 for HTTP.

443 for HTTPS.

Listen Protocol

Protocol published towards remote workers for downloading the file,

Listen TLS Profile (TLS Server Profile)

TLS profile to be used if HTTPS listen protocol is selected.

Server protocol

Protocol used for the Avaya SBC server.

Server TLS Profile (TLS Client Profile)

TLS profile to be used if HTTPS server protocol is selected.

Listen Domain

Listen domain for the Avaya SBC server.

Connect IP

Network name and IP address that Avaya SBC uses to communicate with file servers.

Load Balancing Algorithm

Algorithm used for load balancing for the reverse proxy.

Available options include:

  • Round-Robin

  • IP Hashing

  • Least # of Connections

Note:

When you select the load balancing algorithms for Reverse Proxy, you must configure Avaya SBC services to ensure that no other service is listening on port 80. For example, the Load Monitoring service (Network flows > Advanced options > Load Monitoring) to monitor Turn services traffic listens on port 80 by default. You must ensure that these conflicting services should not be used simultaneously.

PPM Mapping Profile

Specifies a PPM Mapping profile.

Reverse Proxy Policy Profile

Reverse proxy profile to be used for this reverse proxy entry.

Rewrite URL

Enables rewriting URL.

Whitelisted IPs

Specifies up to five IPs to be whitelisted.

Server Addresses

Server IP address and port number.

Received Server Host

Received Server Host field, select the SAN or CN field of the certificate associated with the TLS server profile.

Note:

For any mismatched or non-SNI request with Reverse Proxy Profile configured:

  • Without Any option in Received server host: Avaya SBC serves the first server configured with the received server host, with TLS server profile configured with SNI Options as Optional or Mandatory.

  • With Any option in Received server host: Avaya SBC serves the server TLS profile certificate configured with the received server host, with TLS server profile configured with SNI Options as Optional or Mandatory.

Whitelisted URL

Whitelisted URL for the server.

URL Replace

URL to replace the whitelisted URL.

This field is available only when you select the Rewrite URL check box.
