To prevent the possibility of intruders duplicating one of your Locations and gaining access to your domain, you can enable the Reject WAN Interface Mismatch security feature. If this feature is enabled for a Location and it attempts to connect with the Corente SCP when the IP address or MAC address of its WAN interface or WAN/LAN interface are not the same as the IP address or MAC address that were used the last time the Location was in contact with the Corente SCP, an alarm will be generated and the Location will be denied from contacting the Corente SCP. You should contact Oracle Support if this occurs.
If a WAN Interface mismatch occurs because you moved or swapped the hardware for the Location without selecting the Allow One WAN Interface change option described below, select that option and save your changes to the Location form. This Location will then be allowed to connect to the Corente SCP and function as usual.
Complete the fields as follows:
Reject WAN Interface Mismatch: When this option is selected, if the Location contacts the Corente SCP and the IP address or MAC address of the WAN interface (or WAN/LAN interface) have changed, the Location will be denied from contacting the Corente SCP and an alarm will be generated.
When this option is selected, the following checkbox will be made available:
Allow One WAN Interface Change: If you plan to move or change the hardware for the Corente Services Gateway, select this option first. This allows the new hardware to establish a secure connection with the Corente SCP with its new IP address and MAC address, which will be recorded at the Corente SCP. Once the new IP address and MAC address are recorded, this option will be deselected and the Reject WAN Interface Mismatch feature will function as described above. You must reselect this option the next time you would like to change the hardware.
