Configuring Diameter Network Elements
A Diameter network element (DNE) consists of associated functions, a list of prioritized peers, and a set of forwarding rules. The forwarding rules define individual routes through a set of associated destinations, functions, and metrics.
Before you configure Diameter network elements, perform the following task:
- Define the Diameter peers. See Configuring Diameter Peers.
To configure a Diameter network element:
- Specify the name of the network element.[edit diameter]user@host# set network-element dne25
- (Optional) Associate one or more functions with the network
element. All functions are associated by default.[edit diameter network-element dne25]user@host# set function jsrc
- Associate a Diameter peer with the network element and set the priority for the peer.
- Specify a route that is reachable through the network
element based on the forwarding rules that you define.[edit diameter network-element dne25]user@host# set forwarding route dne-route2
- Specify a metric for the route.[edit diameter network-element dne25 forwarding route dne-route2]user@host# set metric 15
- (Optional) Associate the route with a destination host
and realm.[edit diameter network-element dne25 forwarding route dne-route2]user@host# set destination host host5 realm example.com
- (Optional) Specify a function (application) associated
with the route.[edit diameter network-element dne25 forwarding route dne-route2]user@host# set function jsrc
