In this section:

 

The

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
 supports Rx interface which pertains to QoS resource reservation for reserving bandwidth in the IP access network. The Rx reference point is used to exchange application level session information between the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) and the P-CSCF. The Access Solution, acting as P-CSCF creates a TCP connection with the configured PCRF.

Use the Diameter Node object to configure the Diameter Realm for external QoS requests on a per-IP TG basis.

Note

The SBC 52x0 and SBC 7000 systems support creating IP Interface Groups containing sets of IP interfaces that are not "processor friendly" (i.e. carried on physical Ethernet ports served by separate processors). However, restrictions exist regarding the usage of such Interface Groups.

(This ability does not apply to the SBC 51x0 and SBC 5400 systems which have only two physical media ports. IP interfaces from the two physical ports may be configured within the same IP Interface Groups without restriction.)

For complete details, refer to Configuring IP Interface Groups and Interfaces.

When configuring a Diameter Node in an HA configuration, the secondaryOriginHost parameter must be configured with the Standby hostname.

Do not configure PCRF on the Egress leg of the trunk group for REGISTER.

Command Parameters

Diameter Node Parameters

Parameter

Length/Range

Description

diamNode

1-23

Diameter node name.

dumpPduN/A

When this flag is enabled, the

Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
logs the DIAMETER PDU sent and received on the Rx interface to the debug log.

  • disabled (default)
  • enabled

ipInterfaceGroupName

N/A

The name of the IP interface group used by this Node.

ipV4Address

N/A

IPv4 address used to create connections towards peer.

ipV6Address

N/A

IPv6 address used to create connections towards peer.

originRealm

0-128

The origin realm for this node.

peer

0-23

Use this parameter to define the Diameter peer configuration for this node.

  • deviceWatchdogTimer – Device-Watchdog-Requests timer value, in milliseconds (range: 0-100000 / default=1000).
  • deviceWatchdogTimerAnswerTimeout – The Device Watchdog Answer timeout value, in milliseconds. SBC considers a peer down if a Device Watchdog Request is not replied to by a Device Watchdog Answer before this timer expires. (range: 1000-500000 | default = 2000)
  • fqdn – FQDN for this peer (1-256 characters).
  • ipAddress – IP Address of this peer.
  • sessionDistribution – Use this parameter to specify how to distribute Diameter sessions.

    • honor-reply-order (default) – Diameter session creation across multiple IP connections under this peer honors the order of the IP addresses that are returned in the DNS reply starting from the first one.

    • round-robin – Diameter session creation across multiple IP connections under this peer are rotated in round-robin fashion starting from the first one.

  • state – Admin state of this peer.
    • disabled (default)
    • enabled
  • tcpPort – TCP port number of this peer (default is 3868).

primaryOriginHost

0-128

The primary origin host for this node.

realmRoute

1-23

<realmRoute name> – Realm route for this node. Additional realm route arguments:

  • appId – Application ID for this route. (default is "rx" for PCRF interface, and is not configurable)
  • peer – The name of the peer this route belongs to.
  • priority – Priority of this Route. (range 0-100 / default = 0)
  • realm – Realm name of this route.
  • state– Administrative state of this peer.
    • disabled (default)
    • enabled

secondaryOriginHost

0-128

The secondary origin host for this node.

state

N/A

Use this flag to set the state of this Diameter node.

  • disabled (default)
  • enabled

transactionTimeout

500-6000

Enter desired transaction timeout in milliseconds. (default = 1000)
