SIP proxy settings
The SIP proxy settings page contains general configuration items that affect outbound transport configuration, toleration of IP Sprayer devices, and access logging configuration.
To view this console page, click Servers > Proxy Servers > server_name > SIP proxy settings
On the Configuration tab, you can edit SIP proxy settings fields.
Configuration tab
- Default cluster
This setting typically defaults to null and it must be set to a valid cluster before any SIP messages are routed thought the proxy server. The default cluster indicates which cluster of appservers should receive SIP traffic when there are no cluster selection rules defined, or when none of the existing cluster selection rules match. A single SIP proxy can reside in front of multiple SIP clusters. You can configure each SIP proxy with a default cluster that routes all messages that do not have an associated cluster routing rule. Cluster routing rules are defined at each proxy server and dictate how messages are routed to the various backend clusters that reside in front of the proxy server. A single SIP container in a cluster handles all of the messages that are associated with a single dialog. If a container fails in the middle of a dialog, a single server in the cluster takes over responsibility for the dialog. The SIP proxy maintains session affinity, based on the session identifier, which includes the logical server name. The SIP container publishes logical server information and the SIP proxy consumes it using workload management (WLM).
- Enable TCP sprayer
Enables and disables SIP outbound request rewriting that enables the SIP proxy to operate behind an IP sprayer. In networking environments, devices that spread IP traffic from a single point to multiple points to achieve higher throughput and availability are referred to as IP sprayers.
When this control is checked, TCP host and TCP port are enabled. When this control is unchecked, TCP host and TCP port are disabled.
Data type Boolean Default false
- TCP host
This field contains the host name that the SIP proxy writes outbound requests to so that the receiving agent connects back to the IP sprayer.
Enabled only when Enable TCP sprayer is checked.
Data type String Default Blank
- TCP port
This field contains the port that the SIP proxy writes outbound requests to so that the receiving agent connects back to the IP sprayer.
Enabled only when enable TCP sprayer is checked.
Range 1 to 65535 Data type Integer Default Blank
- Enable SSL sprayer
Enables and disables SIP outbound request rewriting that enables the SIP proxy to operate behind an SSL sprayer.
When this control is checked, SSL host and SSL port are enabled. When this control is unchecked, SSL host and SSL port are disabled.
Data type Boolean Default false
- SSL host
This field contains the host name that the SIP proxy writes outbound requests to so that the receiving agent connects back to the SSL sprayer.
Enabled only when Enable SSL sprayer is checked.
Data type String Default Blank
- SSL port
This field contains the port that the SIP proxy writes outbound requests to so that the receiving agent connects back to the SSL sprayer.
Enabled only when enable SSL sprayer is checked.
Range 1 to 65535 Data type Integer Default Blank
- Enable UDP sprayer
Enables and disables SIP outbound request rewriting that enables the SIP proxy to operate behind a UDP Sprayer.
When this control is checked, UDP host and UDP port are enabled. When this control is unchecked, UDP host and UDP port are disabled.
Data type Boolean Default false
- UDP host
This field contains the host name that the SIP proxy writes outbound requests to so that the receiving agent connects back to the UDP sprayer.
Enabled only when Enable UDP sprayer is checked.
Data type String Default Blank
- UDP port
This field contains the port that the SIP proxy writes outbound requests to so that the receiving agent connects back to the UDP sprayer.
Enabled only when enable UDP sprayer is checked.
Range 1 to 65535 Data type Integer Default Blank
- Enable access logging
This field enables and disables access logging.
When this control is checked, access log maximum size and proxy access log is enabled. When this control is unchecked, access log maximum size and proxy access log is disabled.
Data type Boolean Default Unchecked (false)
- Access log maximum size
This field indicates the maximum size, in megabytes, of the access log before it rolls over.
Enabled only when enable access logging is checked.
Range 1 to 65535 Data type Integer Default 20
- Proxy access log
This field indicates the location of the SIP proxy access log.
Enabled only when enable access logging is checked.
Range Must be a valid path name Data type String Default $(SERVER_LOG_ROOT)/sipproxy.log
