The implementation of this recording lab will leverage the Oracle SBC Lab environment created at the beginning of this blog, please make sure you understand that basic configurations and connectivity associated as all IPs will be the same for SBCs and Ubuntu VMs used for the softphone testing.

As mentioned in the entry Oracle ISR – Troubleshooting – Solution components three VMs will be required to implement ISR (RSS, Index and Dashboard), all those VM will use Oracle Linux 7.2 or above for the OS (please refer to the Oracle Linux 7.3 – Installation entry in case you have any doubt when installing).

The following table describes the VM resources required for the ISR servers (refer to the official documentation for any update in the requirements, ISR 6.0 will be implemented in this lab):

As mentioned in the entry Oracle ISR – Troubleshooting – Solution components multiple networks are required (MGMT network is reused for administration VLAN from the Oracle SBC basic lab, assigning IPs to the ISR servers, the other 3 subnets are new, and you can define whatever IP addressing you want).

The following table defines the networks and IPs that will be assigned to each ISR VM/interface:

Connectivity is mainly used for internal processes running in the different ISR servers, but interfaces are requested when installing ISR software.

The image below is taken from Oracle ISR – Troubleshooting – Solution components but it now includes the Ubuntu External/Internal network/realm/softphones in the bottom; this is a high-level diagram of network/servers/connectivity defined and used in this lab. As an additional note on this diagram the NAS/SAN device was removed from the diagram as it is used as a long-term storage and will not be used/included in this lab environment.

Let’s now define the interfaces and IP addressing used for the Oracle SBC SIPRec connectivity to the ISR lab (all other interfaces remain the same for Internal/External connectivity, please refer to Oracle SBC – Lab Environment description):

This is a graphical representation of all components and IPs defined for this new lab:

The following will assume VMs are installed with the requirements shown in the current entry and connected using the MGMT interface defined previously.

This concludes this entry, in the following entries we will implement/deploy the solution presented.
