Viewing and Managing SBCs
This chapter identifies and describes the properties for Session Border Controllers (SBCs) that appear in Cisco Prime Network Vision (Prime Network Vision) logical inventory. It also describes commands you can run to manage SBCs.
Session Border Controllers (SBCs) control and manage real-time multimedia traffic flows between IP network borders, handling signaling, and media. SBCs perform native IP interconnection functions required for real-time communications such as admission control, firewall traversal, accounting, signaling interworking, and quality-of-service (QoS) management. This includes:
•
Protocol and media interworking
•Session routing
•Hosted Network Address Translation (NAT) and firewall traversal
•Security and AAA
•Intra- and inter-VPN interconnections and optimization
•Media transcoding with an external media server
The Cisco Prime Network platform provides fault management, configuration, and performance monitoring for SBC services. Prime Network SBC commands allow you to configure SBC components.
An SBC consists of combined DBE and SBE functionality:
•Data Border Element (DBE)—Responsible for media-related functions.
•Signaling Border Element (SBE)—Responsible for call signaling-related functions.
In addition, the SBC can operate in the following deployment models:
•Distributed Model (DM)—Contains only the SBE or DBE, resulting in a distributed SBC.
•Unified Model (UM)—Contains both the SBE and DBE, thereby implementing the SBE and DBE as a single device.
Note The existing Cisco SBC platforms support only DBE.
The following topics describe the SBC properties that are displayed in Prime Network Vision logical inventory:
•User Roles Required to View SBC Properties
•Viewing SBC Properties in Logical Inventory
•Viewing SBC DBE Properties
•Viewing SBC SBE Properties

User Roles Required to View SBC Properties
This topic identifies the GUI default permission or scope security level that is required to view SBC properties in Prime Network Vision. Prime Network determines whether you are authorized to perform a task as follows:
•For GUI-based tasks (tasks that do not affect elements), authorization is based on the default permission that is assigned to your user account.
•For element-based tasks (tasks that do affect elements), authorization is based on the default permission that is assigned to your account. That is, whether the element is in one of your assigned scopes and whether you meet the minimum security level for that scope.
For more information on user authorization, see the Cisco Prime Network 3.10 Administrator Guide.
The following tables identify the tasks that you can perform:
•Table 22-1 identifies the tasks that you can perform if a selected element is not in one of your assigned scopes.
•Table 22-2 identifies the tasks that you can perform if a selected element is in one of your assigned scopes.
By default, users with the Administrator role have access to all managed elements. To change the Administrator user scope, see the topic on device scopes in the Cisco Prime Network 3.10 Administrator Guide.
