Configuring PCMM Record-Keeping Server Plug-Ins (SRC CLI)

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


            
               shared sae configuration plug-ins name 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:

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.


                  
                     user@host# edit shared sae group west-region
                           configuration plug-ins name  rksPlugin
                           pcmm-rks

Specify the mode for load-balancing RKSs.


                  
                     [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins
                        name rksPlugin pcmm-rks]
                     
                      user@host# set load-balancing-mode (failover | roundRobin)

Specify if and when the SAE attempts to fail back to the default peer.


                  
                     [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins
                        name rksPlugin pcmm-rks]
                     
                      user@host# set failback-timer  failback-timer

Specify the time the SAE waits for a response from an RKS before it resends the packet.


                  
                     [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins
                        name rksPlugin pcmm-rks]
                     
                      user@host# set retry-interval  retry-interval

Specify the maximum number of unacknowledged messages that the plug-in receives from the RKS before it discards new messages.


                  
                     [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins
                        name rksPlugin pcmm-rks]
                     
                      user@host# set maximum-queue-length  maximum-queue-length

(Optional) Specify the source IP address that the plug-in uses to communicate with the RKS.


                  
                     [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins
                        name rksPlugin pcmm-rks]
                     
                      user@host# set bind-address  bind-address

(Optional) Specify the source UDP port or a pool of ports that the plug-in uses to communicate with the RKS.


                  
                     [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins
                        name rksPlugin pcmm-rks]
                     
                      user@host# set udp-port  udp-port

(Optional) Specify the multiple service operator (MSO)—defined data in the financial entity ID (FEID) attribute, which is included in event messages.


                  
                     [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins
                        name rksPlugin pcmm-rks]
                     
                      user@host# set feid-mso-data  feid-mso-data

(Optional) Specify the MSO domain name in the FEID attribute that uniquely identifies the MSO for billing and settlement purposes.


                  
                     [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins
                        name rksPlugin pcmm-rks]
                     
                      user@host# set feid-mso-domain-name  feid-mso-domain-name

(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.


                  
                     [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins
                        name rksPlugin pcmm-rks] 
                     
                      user@host# set trusted-element

Specify the name of the primary RKS peer to which the SAE sends accounting packets.

See Configuring Record-Keeping Server Peers for Plug-Ins (SRC CLI).


                  
                     [edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins
                        name rksPlugin pcmm-rks] 
                     
                      user@host# set default-peer  default-peer

(Optional) Verify your RKS plug-in configuration.

[edit shared sae group west-region configuration plug-ins name rksPlugin pcmm-rks]
user@host> show 
load-balancing-mode failover;
failback-timer -1;
retry-interval 3000;
maximum-queue-length 10000;
feid-mso-domain-name abcd.com;
trusted-element;
default-peer radius01;

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