Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE)

...

• Security - SBCs protect against Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks, safeguard against toll fraud and service theft, and provide media and signaling encryption to ensure confidentiality and protect against impersonation/masquerade.
• Multivendor interoperability - SBCs normalize SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) signaling stream headers and messages to mitigate multivendor incompatibilities.
• Protocol interworking - SBCs enable interworking  between different protocols  or capabilities such as H.323-SIP interworking, SIP normalization, DTMF type conversion, payload type conversion, IPv4-IPv6 interworking, and transcoding.
• Quality of Service (QoS) - SBCs enforce call admission control (CAC) policies, Type of Service (ToS) marking, or rate limiting for service quality assuranceSession routing - SBCs route sessions across network interfaces to ensure high availability or enable least cost routing (LCR).

VSM and CUBE System Health

...

Alerts will highlight when any of interfaces is down.

Environment

VSM monitors the  status of the CUBE environments this includes (Voltage &  Temperature  & Power Supply and Fan) , it display the total number of monitored environment components based on the status.

Alerts will be highlighted as red and amber based on the impact:

Red - If  any of Environmental State is  either (Critical , Shutdown or Not Functioning) 

Amber  - any of Environmental State is Warning.

Environment Drill Down will show the following  details of  each components:

Environment Voltage State

• State -  Display the state of associated instance .
• Value - Display the current value of the associated instance 
• Description  - Description of associated instance
• Low Threshold - The lowest voltage  that the associated instance of the object may obtain before an emergency shutdown of the managed device is initiated
• High Threshold -  The highest voltage that the associated instance of the object  may obtain before an emergency shutdown of the managed device is initiated.
• Last Shutdown -  The voltage value of the associated instance of the object at the time an emergency shutdown of the managed device was last initiated

Environment Temperature State

• State -  State of associated instance
• Value -  Current value of associated instance
• Description  - Description of associated instance
• Threshold -  highest Temperature  that the associated instance  may obtain before an emergency shutdown of the managed device is initiated.
• Last Shutdown -  The Temperature value of the associated instance of the object at the time an emergency shutdown of the managed device was last initiated

Environment Supply State

• State -  State of associated Power Supply
• Description  - Description of associated Power Supply
• Source  -  The Power supply source

Environment Fan State

• State -  State of associated Fan
• Description  - Description of associated Fan

Dial-Peer Summary

Dial Peers identify call source and destination endpoints and define the characteristics that are applied to each call leg in a a call connection.

...

Amber  - If Only Admin or Operate State is down.

SIP Response Messages

See current volumes for

• 1xx Response
• 2xx Response
• 3xx Response

...

• 4xx Response – totals here indicate a problem
• 5xx Response - totals here indicate a problem
• 6xx Response - totals here indicate a problem

Call Legs

VSM monitors  the number of active call legs per protocol:

• Supported Protocols
  • H323
  • SIP
  • MGCP
  • SCCP
  • Multicast
  • CA Control
  • Telephony
