Introduction

The Rhino VoLTE TAS XCAP server uses NGINX as revers proxy for handling XCAP requests. A Rate Limiter can be setup to provide DDoS protection on the XCAP interface. The configuration of this Rate Limiter is optional, and it can be enabled/disabled following the procedure described below.

For more details about how it is configured, visit Rhino VoLTE TAS Configuration and Management Guide: NGINX Rate Limiter.

Enabling NGINX Rate Limiter

To enable the NGINX Rate Limiter:

  1. Add a mag-nginx-config.yaml file into the RVT YAML configuration directory. An example is available here: max-nginx-config.yaml.

  2. Upload configuration using rvtconfig upload-config for the mag node. For example: ./rvtconfig upload-config -c <CDS address> -t mag -i <path-to-yaml-config-dir> --vm-version <vm-version>

  3. Connect via ssh to a mag node and restart initconf (repeated on each mag`node) `sudo systemctl restart initconf

Disabling NGINX Rate Limiter

To disable the NGINX Rate Limiter:

  1. Remove the mag-nginx-config.yaml file from the RVT YAML configuration directory.

  2. Upload configuration using rvtconfig upload-config for the mag node. For example: ./rvtconfig upload-config -c <CDS address> -t mag -i <path-to-yaml-config-dir> --vm-version <vm-version>

  3. Connect via ssh to a mag node and restart initconf (repeated on each mag`node) `sudo systemctl restart initconf
