Configuring PCMM Record-Keeping Server Plug-Ins

Use the following configuration statements to configure an RKS plug-in.

shared sae configuration plug-ins pool name pcmm-rks {

load-balancing-mode (failover | roundRobin); 

failback-timer failback-timer; 

retry-interval retry-interval; 

maximum-queue-length maximum-queue-length; 

bind-address bind-address; 

udp-port udp-port; 

feid-mso-data feid-mso-data; 

feid-mso-domain-name feid-mso-domain-name; 

trusted-element; 

default-peer default-peer; 

}

To configure an RKS plug-in:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statements for RKS plug-ins. In this sample procedure, west-region is the name of the SAE group, and rksPlugin is the name of the plug-in. 
    2. user@host# edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins pool 
rksPlugin pcmm-rks
  2. Specify the mode for load-balancing RKSs.
    3. [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins pool rksPlugin pcmm-rks]

    user@host# set load-balancing-mode (failover | roundRobin)
  3. Specify if and when the SAE attempts to fail back to the default peer.
    4. [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins pool rksPlugin pcmm-rks]

    user@host# set failback-timer failback-timer
  4. Specify the time the SAE waits for a response from an RKS before it resends the packet.
    5. [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins pool rksPlugin pcmm-rks]

    user@host# set retry-interval retry-interval
  5. Specify the maximum number of unacknowledged messages that the plug-in receives from the RKS before it discards new messages.
    6. [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins pool rksPlugin pcmm-rks]

    user@host# set maximum-queue-length maximum-queue-length
  6. (Optional) Specify the source IP address that the plug-in uses to communicate with the RKS. 
    7. [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins pool rksPlugin pcmm-rks]

    user@host# set bind-address bind-address
  7. (Optional) Specify the source UDP port or a pool of ports that the plug-in uses to communicate with the RKS.
    8. [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins pool rksPlugin pcmm-rks]

    user@host# set udp-port udp-port
  8. (Optional) Specify the multiple service operator (MSO)—defined data in the financial entity ID (FEID) attribute, which is included in event messages. 
    9. [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins pool rksPlugin pcmm-rks]

    user@host# set feid-mso-data feid-mso-data
  9. (Optional) Specify the MSO domain name in the FEID attribute that uniquely identifies the MSO for billing and settlement purposes. 
    10. [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins pool rksPlugin pcmm-rks]

    user@host# set feid-mso-domain-name feid-mso-domain-name
  10. (Optional) When the SAE is running as a policy server—which means that the SAE sends event messages directly to the RKS—enable the SAE as a trusted network element. 
    11. [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins pool rksPlugin pcmm-rks] 

    user@host# set trusted-element
  11. Specify the name of the primary RKS peer to which the SAE sends accounting packets.

See Configuring Record-Keeping Server Peers for Plug-Ins.

[edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins pool rksPlugin pcmm-rks] 

user@host# set default-peer default-peer
  1. (Optional) Verify your RKS plug-in configuration.
    2. [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins pool rksPlugin 
pcmm-rks]

  2. (Optional) Specify an RKS plug-in for specific CMTS devices.
