Cloud Environment Parameters

'AWS EC2 Endpoint'

configure network > network-settings > aws-ec2-endpoint

[AwsEc2Endpoint]

Defines the Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 endpoint name.

The parameter can be configured to one of the following values:

■

Empty (default): The device automatically generates the AWS EC2 API endpoint based on the region in which it is deployed (e.g., "ec2.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com").

Note: High-Availability (HA) deployments in AWS environments use AWS EC2 API to implement IP failover. If two SBC instances are deployed in separate availability zones within the same region, the same AWS EC2 API endpoint will be used for both availability zones. In such a scenario, all traffic towards the AWS EC2 API endpoint will flow through the first availability zone, even for virtual machines deployed in the second availability zone.

■

Custom EC2 API endpoint FQDN (e.g., "vpce-0123456789.ec2.eu-central-1.vpce.amazonaws.com").

■

Custom EC2 API endpoint FQDN followed by its IP address (e.g., "ec2.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com:10.1.2.3").

Note: The parameter is applicable only to Mediant VE/CE deployed on the AWS cloud platform.

'Network Interface Status Check'

configure network > network-settings > interface-status-check

[NetworkInterfaceStatusCheck]

When the device is deployed in Azure cloud, it may experience intermittent problems in communication with virtual hosts that may cause the virtual network interface (NIC) to "freeze". To overcome this issue, the device can periodically check the status of all network interfaces to detect if this condition exists and mitigate it by performing a maintenance reboot.

■

[0] Check box cleared o = (Default) Disabled.

■

[1] Check box selected þ = Enabled.

For more information, see Configuring Network Interface Status Checks.

Note: The parameter is applicable only to Mediant VE/CE deployed on Azure cloud.

'Network Interface Status Check Period'

configure network > network-settings > interface-status-check-period

[NetworkInterfaceStatusCheckPeriod]

Defines the period (in seconds) between each check of virtual network interfaces.

The default is 10.

For more information, see Configuring Network Interface Status Checks.

Note: The parameter is applicable only to Mediant VE/CE deployed on Azure cloud.

'Network Interface Status Check Retries'

configure network > network-settings > interface-status-check-retries

[NetworkInterfaceStatusCheckRetries]

Defines the number of retries (ARP requests) if no change in the virtual network interface (Rx/Tx Bytes counters).

The default is 10.

For more information, see Configuring Network Interface Status Checks.

Note: The parameter is applicable only to Mediant VE/CE deployed on Azure cloud.

'Maintenance Events Monitoring'

configure network > cloud-settings > monitoring-maintenance-events

[MaintenanceEventsMonitoringEnable]

Enables the device to monitor the cloud platform's scheduled maintenance events for virtual machines on which the device is installed.

■

[0] Check box cleared o = Disabled.

■

[1] Check box selected þ = (Default) Enabled.

For more information, see Monitoring Cloud Scheduled VM Maintenance Events.

Note: The parameter is applicable only to Mediant VE/CE deployed on Azure or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

'Maintenance Events Treatment'

configure network > cloud-settings > treatment-maintenance-events

[MaintenanceEventsTreatmentEnable]

Enables the device to perform a switchover (active to standby for HA systems, or move sessions to a different Media Component for Mediant CE's Elastic Media Cluster mode) before a scheduled maintenance event on the virtual machine of the cloud platform.

■

[0] Check box cleared o = (Default) Disabled.

■

[1] Check box selected þ = Enabled.

For more information, see Monitoring Cloud Scheduled VM Maintenance Events.

Note:

■

For this feature to be functional, you also need to configure the 'Maintenance Events Monitoring' parameter to Enable.

■

The parameter is applicable only to Mediant VE/CE deployed on Azure or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
