Use the following procedure to add a Session Manager or Branch Session Manager instance as a SIP entity. It should be noted that eth1 configuration on Session Manager or Branch Session Manager is reserved for SIP and should not be modified at the OS level.
Procedure
On the home page of the System Manager web console, click Elements > Routing > SIP Entities.
Click New.
In the Name field, enter the name of the Session Manager or Branch Session Manager instance.
In the IP Address Family field, click the address types that the SIP entity supports.
For administering SIP entities by using IPv6 address, ensure that the Enable IPv6 check box is selected on the Global Settings page. If IPv6 is not enabled, the IPv6 and Both options are not available.
Depending on the IP Address Family that you select, the system displays:
For IPv4 IP address family: FQDN or IPv4 Address field.
For IPv6 IP address family: FQDN or IPv6 Address field.
For Both address family: FQDN or IPv4 Address and FQDN or IPv6 Address fields.
For SIP entities other than Session Manager, if the FQDNs for IPv4 and IPv6 are separate, specify both fields with the corresponding IPv4 and IPv6 FQDNs.
If one FQDN resolves to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, fill the FQDN or IPv4 Address field. You can leave the FQDN or IPv6 Address field blank.
For Session Manager SIP entities, specify only IP addresses.
Session Manager supports a mixture of FQDN and IPv6 addresses for SIP entities other than Session Manager.
In the FQDN or IPv4 Address or FQDN or IPv6 Address field, enter the IP address of the Session Manager or Branch Session Manager Security Module.
This IP address is not the management IP address.
In the Type field, set the type of Session Manager.
In the Listen Ports section, click Add.
Add the Listen Ports, Protocol, Default Domain entries and select the Endpoint check box for each port and protocol on which Session Manager or Branch Session Manager listens for SIP traffic.
Add failover ports if the SIP entity is a failover group member. For more information about Failover Groups, see Administering Avaya Aura® Session Manager.
