  • Global Configuration is applicable to all policy servers.
  • Local Policy Server Configuration is applicable to local (embedded) policy server.
  • Remote Policy Server Configuration is applicable to remote policy servers (including ePSX).

The 

Spacevars

administrator enables or disables the policy server. When a policy server is enabled, it receives database queries from the
Spacevars
0product
. You can enable or disable the policy server only in the out-of-service mode.

...

The Remote Policy Server configuration commands are described below.If the 

Spacevars
0product
is configured to use ePSX, you must configure the ePSX as a remote server using the default VM IP address as shown in the example below (do not use the management IP address) :

Command Syntax

Description

remoteServer

N/A

The name of the remote policy server.

action

N/A

Use this object to specify the action to take against the policy server.

  • dryup (default) – All queued transactions are processed to completion unless retries expire.
  • force – All queued transactions are dropped immediately.

ipAddress

N/A

To configure the ePSX as a remote server, use the default VM IP address: 169.254.77.2.

keepAliveTimer

1-60

The time interval (in seconds) to wait before issuing a "keepalive" 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 (default = 5).

mode

N/A

The operational state of the remote policy server:

  • outofservice – The remote policy server is out-of-service and will not provide any services to the
    Spacevars
    0product
    .
  • active – The remote policy server provides normal query services.
  • standby – The remote policy server serves as a backup when another server in the active mode becomes unavailable.
  • alternate – The remote policy server is not expected to receive any query messages from the
    Spacevars
    0product
    , but can send messages to
    Spacevars
    0product
    .

portNumber

1-65535

The logical port number used for IP communication with the remote policy server. (default = 3055).

retries

0-32

The number of times to retry any remote policy server transaction. (default = 1).

retryTimer

N/A

The time (in milliseconds) for the

Spacevars
0product
to wait for the response from the remote policy server. (default = 2500).

state

N/A

Administrative state of the remote policy server. Options are:

  • disabled (defautl) – The remote policy server is not used for call routing decisions.

  • enabled – The remote policy server is used for call routing decisions. 

    Note
    The mode must be set to 'outOfService' before changing the state.

subPortNumber

1-65535

The port number assigned for the IP address of the policy server for the specific purpose of communicating subscriber data. (default = 3053).

switchback

N/A

Use this parameter with the request command to reset SIP registration count.

transactionTimer

50-60000

The time for 

Spacevars
0product
to wait (in milliseconds) for a reply from the policy server after sending a transaction request. When this timer expires, a transaction retry is issued based on retries setting. (default = 2500).

displaylevel

1-64

Displays the different levels of output information in show commands.
