You can configure a cloud particularly for SIP, using the configure cloud command.

The CLI command is as follows:

 [admin:10-X-X-X]: > configure cloud cloud_sip
    Updating an existing object. Currently, the object is:

Configure the underlying cloud setup as per your requirements. See the following links for the cloud specific configuration:

  • Installing NSX Advanced Load Balancer in OpenStack and Creating Service Engine using Heat-Templates in No-Access Mode topics in the VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer Installation Guide.

  • Installing NSX Advanced Load Balancer in VMware vSphere Environments topic in the VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer Installation Guide.

Note:

For OpenStack No-Access clouds, security group rules must be configured to allow the required SIP ports (5060/5061 or any non-default ports).

The following CLI command displays a vCenter cloud configuration:
