Acme Packet SBC and Useful ACLI Commands
21 Jan 2011 #acme packet #sbc #sipRecently someone asked what some of the most useful commands are on the Session Director after performing a fresh install/configuration of an SD. The following was provided by one of the Acme Packet Systems Engineers in response to the inquiry.
show sipd sessions all
– Will display all of the active SIP sessions that are currently traversing the SBC, including the To, From, Call-ID
show sipd invite
– Will display a chart of all recent SIP requests and responses
notify sipd siplog
– Enables the sipmsg.log which includes all SIP traffic traversing the SBC..only to be used in pre-production/trial environment
show logfile sipmsg.log
– Will output the contents of the sipmsg.log without having to FTP this file off the SBC
notify sipd rotate-logs
– Will clear all sipd log buffers
display-alarms
– Alarm log output
show running-config
– Outputs all of the configuration elements
show support-info
- Outputs all of the system level info, including hardware specifics, licensing info, etc
show health
– For a standalone system will give a good overview of failover history
I would also like to add the following which I think are useful in some cases.
show prom-info all
– Displays serial number, hardware revision, manufacturing date
notify sipd debug
– Enables a subset of the full logging behavior of sipd on the Session Director
notify sip nodebug
- Turn off debug
log-level sipd debug
– Enable full debug logs
log-level sipd notice
– Turn off full debug
show version
- Displays SBC current software version
The log file generated in both cases is log.sipd
