Chapter 21 Viewing and Managing SBCs Viewing SBC SBE Properties
Viewing H.248 Properties
The H.248 interface is used for signaling between an SBE and a DBE in distributed mode and between
an SBE and a transcoding media gateway. The SBE or SBC acts as an H.248 MGC, and the transcoding
device acts as an H.248 media gateway. The connection between the MGC and the media gateway is an
H.248 link.
To view H.248 properties, choose Logical Inventory > Session Border Controller > H248.
Table 21-9 describes the H.248 properties that appear in logical inventory for the SBC SBE.
Viewing Policy Properties
An SBC policy is a set of rules that define how the SBC treats different kinds of VoIP events. An SBC
policy allows control of the VoIP signaling and media that pass through the SBC at an application level.
A policy set is a group of policies that can be active on the SBC at any one time. If a p oli c y se t is active,
the SBC uses the rules defined within it to apply policy to events. Multiple policies can be se t on a single
SBC.
To view policy properties, choose Logical Inventory > Session Border Controller > Policy.
Table 21-10 describes the policy properties that appear in logical inventory for the SBC SBE.
