Oracle Communications Session Border Controller (SBC)

🌟 Master Oracle Communications Session Border Controller (SBC) 🌟

Course Title: Unlock the Secrets of Oracle Communications SBC: From Basics to Advanced Configuration

Course Overview

Embark on a comprehensive, hands-on journey to master the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller (SBC). This course is designed to guide you from the ground up, starting with installing and configuring an SBC from scratch, all the way through managing signalization SIP and RTP flows.

What You'll Learn

• Architecture SIP: Understand the core components such as UAC (User Agent Client) and UAS (User Agent Server), explore the concept of B2BUA (Back-to-Back User Agent), and grasp the intricacies of SIP architecture.

• Deployment on Google Cloud Platform: Get hands-on experience with deploying an SBC on GCP, including setting up VPCs, subnets, firewall rules for SIP traffic, network peering, buckets, and more. You'll also learn how to obtain the SBC Oracle software, create custom images, VM templates, and deploy the VM.

• Deployment on VMWARE: Learn about VMware networks, voip architecture, and how to configure networking interfaces and addressing plans for optimal performance on the SBC. Boot your SBC, set up products and entitlements, configure Network Interfaces Cards, and much more.

• SBC Configuration: Dive into configuring global elements, physical and network interfaces, HIP (Home Subscriber Server Identity Privacy), realms, steering pools, SIP interfaces, local policies, and execute first call tests to verify your setup.

• Header Manipulation Rules (HMR): Discover how to define and implement HMR for specific use cases such as country code rulesets, topology hiding, and caller ID replacement. Connect your ruleset to a realm and perform call tests to ensure everything is working as expected.

• Incoming Call Management: Learn the ins and outs of handling incoming calls, including context understanding, local policy configuration, ports redirection on firewalls/internet boxes, and configuration from both ITSP (Internet Telephony Service Provider) and PBX perspectives. Conduct first call tests and troubleshoot any issues that arise.

• Session-Agent, Access List, Local Routing Table: Gain knowledge of the Session-Agent component, configure Access Lists, and understand how to set up and configure a Local Routing Table (LRT). The LRT configuration will be explained in detail, equipping you with the tools needed to manage traffic effectively.
