Configuring the Diameter Application (SRC CLI)

Tasks to configure the Diameter application are:

Configuring the Diameter Application Properties

Use the following configuration statements to configure the properties for the Diameter application:

system diameter {
java-heap-size java-heap-size;
java-new-size java-new-size;
java-garbage-collection-options java-garbage-collection-options;
protocol [(tcp | sctp)...];
local-address [local-address...];
port port;
origin-host origin-host;
origin-realm origin-realm;
active-peers;
debug-mode;
load-balancing-mode (failover | round-robin);
transaction-processing-log (log-no-messages | log-severe-messages | log-normal-messages | log-debug-messages);
packet-trace-log (log-no-messages | log-severe-messages | log-normal-messages | log-debug-messages);
peer-state-machine-log (log-no-messages | log-severe-messages | log-normal-messages | log-debug-messages);
configuration-log (log-no-messages | log-severe-messages | log-normal-messages | log-debug-messages);
}

To configure the Diameter application:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement for the Diameter application.
    user@host# edit system diameter
  2. If you encounter problems caused by lack of memory, change the maximum memory size available to the JRE.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set java-heap-size java-heap-size
  3. Configure the amount of space available to the JRE when the Diameter server starts.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set java-new-size java-new-size
  4. Configure the garbage collection functionality of the Java Virtual Machine.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set java-garbage-collection-options java-garbage-collection-options
  5. Specify the protocol for the transport connection.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set protocol [(tcp | sctp)...]
  6. (Optional) Specify the local IP addresses that remote peers can use to reach this server.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set local-address [local-address...]
  7. (Optional) Specify the port for the server.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set port port
  8. (Optional) Specify the fully-qualified domain name used to identify this host to its Diameter peers.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set origin-host origin-host
  9. (Optional) Specify the DNS name used to identify this host to its Diameter peers.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set origin-realm origin-realm
  10. (Optional) Specify whether the peer connection is in active mode and automatically starts communicating with the IMS AAA Server.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set active-peers
  11. (Optional) Specify whether the peer connection is in debug mode.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set debug-mode
  12. (Optional) Configure the load-balancing mode for peer selection when forwarding a request message.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set load-balancing-mode (failover | round-robin)
  13. (Optional) Configure the log level for the transaction processing log.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set transaction-processing-log log-level

    where log-level is one of the following:

  14. (Optional) Configure the log level for the packet tracing log.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set packet-trace-log log-level

    where log-level is one of the following:

  15. (Optional) Configure the log level for the peer state machine log.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set peer-state-machine-log log-level

    where log-level is one of the following:

  16. (Optional) Configure the log level for the configuration log.
    [edit system diameter]
    user@host# set configuration-log log-level

    where log-level is one of the following:

Configuring the Diameter Client Properties

Use the following statements to configure the properties for the Diameter client:

system diameter client {
threads threads;
keep-alive-time keep-alive-time;
}

To configure the Diameter client properties:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement for the Diameter client.
    user@host# edit system diameter client
  2. (Optional) Specify the minimum number of threads to use.
    [edit system diameter client]
    user@host# set threads threads
  3. (Optional) Specify the time to wait for new commands.
    [edit system diameter client]
    user@host# set keep-alive-time keep-alive-time

Configuring the Diameter Server Properties

Use the following statements to configure the properties for the Diameter server:

system diameter server {
threads threads;
keep-alive-time keep-alive-time;
}

To configure the Diameter server properties:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement for the Diameter server.
    user@host# edit system diameter server
  2. (Optional) Specify the minimum number of threads to use.
    [edit system diameter server]
    user@host# set threads threads
  3. (Optional) Specify the time to wait for new commands.
    [edit system diameter server]
    user@host# set keep-alive-time keep-alive-time

Configuring Logging Destinations

Use the following configuration statements to configure logging destinations for Diameter:

system diameter logger name ...
system diameter logger name file {
filter filter;
filename filename;
rollover-filename rollover-filename;
maximum-file-size maximum-file-size;
}

To configure logging destinations to store log messages in a file:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the name and type of logging destination.
    user@host# edit system diameter logger name file
  2. Specify the properties for the logging destination.
    [edit system diameter logger name file]
    user@host# set ?

    For more information about configuring properties for the logging destination, see Configuring Logging Destinations to Store Messages in a File (SRC CLI).
