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:

From configuration mode, access the configuration statement for the Diameter application. user@host# edit system diameter
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
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
Configure the garbage collection functionality of the Java Virtual Machine. [edit system diameter] user@host# set java-garbage-collection-options java-garbage-collection-options
Specify the protocol for the transport connection.[edit system diameter] user@host# set protocol [(tcp | sctp)...]
(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...]
(Optional) Specify the port for the server. [edit system diameter] user@host# set port port
(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
(Optional) Specify the DNS name used to identify this host to its Diameter peers. [edit system diameter] user@host# set origin-realm origin-realm
(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
(Optional) Specify whether the peer connection is in debug mode. [edit system diameter] user@host# set debug-mode
(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)
(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:
- log-no-messages—Do not log any messages.
- log-severe-messages—Log only severe messages.
- log-normal-messages—Log only normal messages.
- log-debug-messages—Log only debug messages.
(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:
- log-no-messages—Do not log any messages.
- log-severe-messages—Log only severe messages.
- log-normal-messages—Log only normal messages.
- log-debug-messages—Log only debug messages.
(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:
- log-no-messages—Do not log any messages.
- log-severe-messages—Log only severe messages.
- log-normal-messages—Log only normal messages.
- log-debug-messages—Log only debug messages.
(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:
- log-no-messages—Do not log any messages.
- log-severe-messages—Log only severe messages.
- log-normal-messages—Log only normal messages.
- log-debug-messages—Log only debug messages.

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:

From configuration mode, access the configuration statement for the Diameter client. user@host# edit system diameter client
(Optional) Specify the minimum number of threads to use.[edit system diameter client] user@host# set threads threads
(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:

From configuration mode, access the configuration statement for the Diameter server. user@host# edit system diameter server
(Optional) Specify the minimum number of threads to use.[edit system diameter server] user@host# set threads threads
(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:

From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the name and type of logging destination. user@host# edit system diameter logger name file
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).
