Configuring the SAE to Manage Routers Acting as a PCEF and Running Junos OS (SRC CLI)

To set up the SAE to manage the routers (Services Control Gateways) running Junos OS and acting as a PCEF, configure a Gx router driver that establishes and maintains a connection with the peer.

Use the following configuration statements to configure the SAE to manage the routers (Services Control Gateways) acting as a PCEF:

Note: You can configure the charging information under the [edit shared sae group group-name configuration driver junos-gx] or [edit shared network device] hierarchy. The settings configured under the [edit shared network device] hierarchy override the settings under the [edit shared sae group group-name configuration driver junos-gx] hierarchy.

To configure the SAE to manage the routers (Services Control Gateways) acting as a PCEF:

1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the Gx router driver. In this sample procedure, the Gx driver is configured in the POP-ID group.
   [edit]user@host# edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx
2. Specify the name of the community manager that manages Gx driver communities. Active SAEs are selected from this community.
   [edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx]user@host# set sae-community-manager sae-community-manager
3. (Optional) Specify the keepalive timeout till which the SAE waits for a response from the Diameter server before deleting the registered Diameter server entry.
   [edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx]user@host# set keep-alive-timeout keep-alive-timeout
4. (Optional) Specify the interval between retrying a failed registered Diameter server entry.
   [edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx]user@host# set registry-retry-interval registry-retry-interval
5. (Optional) Specify the time till which the SAE waits for a response from the Diameter server.
   [edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx]user@host# set reply-timeout reply-timeout
6. (Optional) Specify the timeout before an expected message expires.
   [edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx]user@host# set sequential-message-timeout sequential-message-timeout
7. (Optional) Configure the session store parameters for the Gx router driver.

   From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the session store for the Gx router driver.

   [edit]user@host# edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx session-store

   For more information about configuring session store parameters, see Configuring the Session Store Feature (SRC CLI).

8. (Optional) Specify the timeout for sending concurrent requests. You can configure a value ranging from 0 through 900 seconds. Default value is 30 seconds.
   [edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx]user@host# set concurrent-request-timeout concurrent-request-timeout
9. (Optional) Specify the number of unsolicited requests that can be sent concurrently. You can configure a value ranging from 1 through 500. Default value is 100.
   [edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx]user@host# set concurrent-requests concurrent-requests
10. (Optional) Specify whether the user session needs to be removed from the router.
    [edit shared sae configuration driver junos-gx] user@host# set enable-disconnect-ontimeout
11. (Optional) Specify the timeout till which the SAE waits for the thread to work before declaring the thread as idle and stopping the thread.
    [edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx]user@host# set thread-idle-timeout thread-idle-timeout
12. (Optional) Specify the number of working threads that process requests.
    [edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx]user@host# set thread-pool-size thread-pool-size
13. (Optional) From configuration mode, access the configuration statements that configure charging information for the Services Control Gateway at group level.
    [edit]user@host# edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx charging-server-info
14. (Optional) Specify the address of the primary online charging system.
    [edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx charging-server-info]user@host# set primary-event-charging-function primary-event-charging-function
15. (Optional) Specify the address of the secondary online charging system.
    [edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx charging-server-info]user@host# set sec-event-charging-function sec-event-charging-function
16. (Optional) Specify the address of the primary offline charging system.
    [edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx charging-server-info]user@host# set primary-charging-collection-function primary-charging-collection-function
17. (Optional) Specify the address of the secondary offline charging system.
    [edit shared sae group POP-ID configuration driver junos-gx charging-server-info]user@host# set sec-charging-collection-function sec-charging-collection-function
18. (Optional) Verify your configuration.
