Avaya Aura Session Border Controller powered by Acme Packet Administrator's Guide 2010-10

Managing the HP Avaya SBC Product

Completing Additional Recommended Configuration

In addition to the basic configuration, which is covered in the HP AllianceONE

Services zl Module for Avaya Aura Session Border Controller powered by

Acme Packet Installation and

Getting Started Guide, there is other config-

ation that you should consider

Hardware Security Configuration: The HP AllianceONE Services zl Mod-

ule has a Module Shutdown button and a USB port on its front panel. If the

switch in which the module is installed is not in a secure location, these

features can create a security risk. You can disable these features from the

switch CLI with the services <slot-ID> devices commands.

■ To disable the Module Shutdown button, in the switch CLI global config-

uration context, you would enter the command:

no services <slot-ID> devices shutdown

■ To disable the USB port, you would enter the command:

no services <slot-ID> devices usb

Software Security Configuration: Because the HP Avaya SBC Product is

located between the public network and your private network, often referred

to as the DMZ, it may pose a security risk. To reduce this risk, you can modify

the configuration of specific networking protocols. For information on this

configuration, see the document Hardening ProCurve Switches, Technical

White Paper at:

Notes

Redundancy: Redundancy features in the Avaya Aura System Platform are

not supported by the HP AllianceONE Services zl Module hardware.

Licensing: SBC product licensing is performed through the Avaya Aura soft-

ware interfaces. You may notice that there is a licensing command available

in the switch CLI services <slot-ID> <index 1> list of options, but this is not

supported by the HP Avaya SBC Application. For this application, activation

licensing is included with the product.
