diff
Displays the pending configuration changes. Only pending changes
made during your current administrator session are included. Pending
changes made by other CLI or browser-based interface (BBI)
administrator sessions are not included.
validate
Validates pending configuration changes made during your current
administration session. This command does not include pending
changes made by other CLI or BBI administrator sessions.
When you enter the Validate command, your pending changes are
validated to ensure that they are complete and consistent. If problems
exist, warning or error messages are displayed.
•
Warnings identify conditions that require special attention, but that do
not cause errors or prevent the configuration when you enter the
Apply command.
•
Errors identify serious configuration problems that you must correct
before you apply the changes. Uncorrected errors cause the Apply
command to fail.
If the Validate command returns warning or error messages, heed the
messages and make any necessary configuration changes.
security
Lists the status (enabled or disabled) for remote management features
such as Telnet, SSH, and BBI. The Security command also displays a list
of users still using default passwords that should be changed.
Table 1

apply
Applies and saves configuration changes made during your current
administration session. Changes are considered pending and do not take
effect until you issue the Apply command. Pending changes made by
other CLI or BBI administrator sessions are not affected.
When issued, the Apply command first validates your session’s pending
changes. If problems exist, applicable warning and error messages are
displayed.
•
Warnings identify conditions that require special attention, but that do
not cause errors or prevent the configuration when you enter the
Apply command.
•
Errors identify serious configuration problems that you must correct
before you apply the changes. Uncorrected errors cause the Apply
command to fail.
If no errors exist, the changes are saved and put into effect.
If multiple CLI or BBI administrators apply changes to the same set of
parameters concurrently, the latest applied changes take precedence.
revert
Cancels all pending configuration changes made during your current
administration session. The revert command does not affect:
•
applied changes
•
pending changes made by other CLI or BBI sessions

paste []
Restores a saved configuration dump file that includes encrypted private
keys.
When you create a configuration dump using the Dump command, you
create a password to decrypt the private keys. When you enter the Paste
command, you are prompted to supply the password. The password
phrase remains in effect until cleared.
Note: To clear the password phrase, enter the Paste command again.
You can then open the configuration dump file in your text editor, copy the
information, and paste it to the CLI window. After you paste the
information, the SMC batch processes the configuration content. The
pasted configuration enters as a pending configuration, and any included
private keys are decrypted. You can use the global Diff command to view
the pending configuration changes. To apply the pending configuration
changes, use the global Apply command.

Description
ip1
IP address for the first host in a cluster on a particular
interface.
Note: In a standalone SMC configuration, each
interface has a single IP address (ip1) associated with it.
In a High Availability (HA) configuration, three IP
addresses are required to adequately configure an
interface. The first two IP addresses (ip1 and ip2) define
the real IP addresses of the two SMCs in the cluster; that
is, one SMC owns ip1 and the other SMC owns ip2. The
third IP address, the VRRP virtual IP, exists on the same
subnet as the other two IP addresses and is owned by
whichever SMC is the current HA master. If the current
HA master machine fails, the backup SMC becomes the
master and assumes responsibility for packets routed
through the VRRP IP address. For related information,
see “VRRP Settings menu” on page 77.
ip2
IP address for the second host in a cluster on a particular
interface.
mask
Configures the IP subnet address mask for the IP
address interface using dotted decimal notation.
vrrp

VRRP ensures that if the active host fails, the backup host takes over. The
SMC interfaces (ip1 and ip2) form a virtual router. The virtual router IP
address becomes the real IP address for both hosts, though the virtual router
IP address is active only on the active master. Each subaddress must reside on
the same network as the virtual router IP address.
Note: Both hosts in the cluster must have the same configuration. The
host configurations are automatically synchronized.

Table 53
VRRP Settings menu (/cfg/net/vrrp)
Command
Description
ha y | n
Enables or disables HA. Two hosts must be previously installed and
configured before you can enable HA.
adint <1-3600>
Displays the current advertisement interval in seconds and provides the
option to change it. The active master sends a VRRP advertisement
message to the backup host at the specified advertisement interval.
Only the active master sends VRRP advertisement messages. If the
backup host does not receive a VRRP advertisement from the active
master within the advertisement interval, VRRP initiates VRRP failover.
The default value is 3, which is the lowest recommended value.
garp [1-600]
Displays the current Gratuitous Address Resolution Protocol (GARP)
value in seconds. You can change the GARP value. When the backup
host determines that the active master failed, it immediately flashes a
GARP message, which is an unsolicited ARP response, to all
end-hosts on the virtual router interface. Then the backup host delays a
period of time specified by the garp value before it begins sending
continuous GARP messages.
The GARP message forces end-hosts to update their ARP caches with
the MAC/IP address mapping for the newly active SMC instead of
waiting for end-hosts to acquire the MAC/IP address from periodic ARP
requests. The default value is 1.

Secure Multimedia Controller
Command Reference
Proxy ARP menu
Using the Proxy ARP menu (/cfg/net/parp), you can configure IP addresses
to which the cluster sends ARP messages. The SMC can respond to ARP
requests intended for devices behind the SMC, including VLAN and VRRP
interfaces.
gbcast <2-100>
Displays the present Gratuitous Broadcast (gbcast) value. You can
change the gbcast value. The gbcast value specifies the interval
between GARP messages sent by the active master to ensure that all
end-hosts have the correct MAC/IP address mapping. Increasing the
gbcast value cuts down on the gbcast traffic, but lengthens the interval
between end-host ARP cache updates.
The gbcast value is multiplied by the adint value to determine the
interval in seconds between GARP messages. For example, if your
adint value is 10 and your gbcast value is 3, the interval between GARP
messages is 30 (10 x 3) seconds. The default gbcast value is 2.
afc y | n
Enables or disables Advanced Failover Checking (AFC). When AFC is
enabled, the system sends an ARP message before initiating a failover
caused by missed VRRP advertisements.
IMPORTANT!
Use Proxy ARP for testing the SMC in lab environments when IP
address allocation is an issue. Do not use Proxy ARP in production;
instead each interface should exist on its own subnet.

traffic that flows into and out of the zone. After you add a zone, use the Auto
command to incorporate predefined rules.
Table 55
Multimedia Security menu (/cfg/smc)
Command
Description
Page 83 of 126
Secure Multimedia Controller
Command Reference
Security Zone menu
Using the Security Zone menu (/cfg/smc/zone), you can define security
zones. Each zone represents a secure subnet, which contains the CS 1000 or
MCS servers. Each security zone is associated with a subnet and a port. Each
zone has a descriptive name.
Two types of access rules exist for each zone:
•
inbound rules for traffic that flows into the zone
•
outbound rules for traffic that flows out of the zone
If a packet does not match a rule, the packet is denied access.
In general, the traffic flowing into the zone is from the intranet and therefore
untrusted, such as SIP traffic from an IP phone to the signaling server. The
majority of access rules are applied for inbound calls. The default outbound
rules allow all traffic to exit the system.
When you add the first rule, a wizard guides you through a host of questions
to define the basic rule values. Subsequently, when you access any rule, the
CLI displays the Rules menu.
Each rule has a unique number, ranging from 1 through 1024. This number is
used to sequentially order the rules. Rules are applied to incoming traffic in
order according to the access number. A lower number means a higher
priority; therefore, rules with lower numbers are applied first. Each rule is
treated separately, and the first rule that matches a particular packet defines
how that packet is handled. For example, if a packet matches two rules in the
system, and the rule with the lower number allows the packet, and the rule
with the higher number denies the packet, the packet is allowed.

Thresholds menu
Using the Threshold menu (/cfg/smc/settings/log/threshold), you can set the
message threshold to limit the number of repetitive messages sent to the
remote firewall log server (/cfg/sys/log/firewall). Messages are repetitive if
more than the one message contains the same message ID, protocol, source
IP address, destination IP address, source port, and destination port.
For example, the following parameters create a message queue for 200 issues:
•
count = 10
•
threshold time = 60 seconds
•
scan time = 1 second
•
max issues = 200
Repetitive messages create one issue entry in the message queue. Each
occurrence of the same message during 60 seconds increments the count of
the issue entry. The first message is always forwarded to the firewall log. The
tenth message within 60 seconds is also sent to the firewall log. If less than
10 instances of the same message arrive within 60 seconds, another message
with the current count is sent to the firewall log at the 60 second expiration.
The queue is scanned every scantime equals 1 second, and message issue
entries older than 60 seconds are sent to the firewall log if the count is any
number other than zero. If the count is zero, the message is not sent to the
firewall log.

You can configure up to a maximum of eight multicast groups along with
their source and destination network.
