Parameter

Description

Name

Specifies the name of the local policy server.

State

The administrative state of the local policy server:

  • disabled
  • enabled

Mode

The operational state of the local policy server:

  • outofservice
  • active
  • standby
  • alternate

Action

The method by which queued transactions are processed when oper-state goes to standby or outofservice:
• dryup (default)—all queue entries are processed to completion unless retries expires.
• force—all queue transactions are dropped immediately.

Transaction
Timer

The time to wait (in milliseconds) for a reply from the initial transaction request. When this timer expires, a transaction retry will be issued. Subsequent retries of this transaction are controlled by retries and delay time. Must be 50-60000, default is 500.

Keep Alive Timer

The time interval (in seconds) to wait before issuing a "keep-alive" poll to the Policy Server. This poll is issued only if there is no other policy server activity during this interval. The receipt of any message from the Policy Server resets the elapsed time to 0. Must be 1-60, default is 5.

Retry Timer

The time in milliseconds that the SBC waits for a response from the Policy Server after retransmitting the transaction request.

Retries

The number of times to retry any policy server transaction. Must be 0-32, default is 1.
