1   Description

This instruction describes how to configure a Realm Routing Table (RRT) in the Diameter application for the following:

• Authorization and Authentication Application Routing
• Accounting Application Routing

The RRT contains routing information, which is used to decide how to process the incoming requests from a particular Diameter application.

The RRT must be configured for the following traffic cases:

• When outgoing messages are sent to the realm
• When the destination host is not specified
• When the destination host is specified, but not present in peer table, that is, among the configured neighbor peers

2   Procedure

2.1   Configure Realm Routing Table

Prerequisites

• No documents are required.
• No tools are required.
• The following conditions must apply:
  • For configuration of Authorization and Authentication Application Routing, the appropriate routing information is known.
  • For configuration of Accounting Application Routing, the appropriate routing information is known.
  • An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.

Steps

1. Navigate to the DIA-CFG-RoutingContainer Managed Object (MO), for example:

   >dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,XyzFunction=xyz,DIA-CFG-Application=DIA,DIA-CFG-StackContainer=abc,DIA-CFG-RoutingContainer=abc

2. Enter Config mode:

   (DIA-CFG-RoutingContainer=abc)>configure

3. Create a DIA-CFG-Drt MO, for example:

   (config-DIA-CFG-RoutingContainer=abc)>DIA-CFG-Drt=ericsson.com:abc:FALSE

4. Commit the settings:

   (config-DIA-CFG-Drt=ericsson.com:abc:FALSE)>commit

5. Navigate to the DIA-CFG-RoutingContainer MO:

   (DIA-CFG-Drt=ericsson.com:abc:FALSE)>up

6. Show the settings:

   (DIA-CFG-RoutingContainer=abc)>show DIA-CFG-Drt=ericsson.com:abc:FALSE

   The following is an example output:

   DIA-CFG-Drt=ericsson.com:abc:FALSE DIA-CFG-AccReqContainer=accReqContainerName DIA-CFG-AuthReqContainer=authReqContainerName

7. Is it required to configure Accounting Application Routing?
   • Yes: Continue with the next step.
   • No: Proceed with Step 17.
8. Navigate to the DIA-CFG-AccReqContainer MO, for example:

   (DIA-CFG-RoutingContainer=abc)>dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,XyzFunction=xyz,DIA-CFG-Application=DIA,DIA-CFG-StackContainer=abc,DIA-CFG-RoutingContainer=abc,DIA-CFG-Drt=ericsson.com:abc:FALSE,DIA-CFG-AccReqContainer=accReqContainerName

9. Enter Config mode:

   (DIA-CFG-AccReqContainer=accReqContainerName)>configure

10. Create a DIA-CFG-AppRouting MO, for example:

    (config-DIA-CFG-AccReqContainer=accReqContainerName)>DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8

11. Set attribute action, for example:

    (config-DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8)>action=4

12. Set attribute nodeIds, for example:

    (config-DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8)>nodeIds="0:node12.ericsson.com#abc"

13. Set the optional attributes, as needed:
    • autoFailback
    • secondaryNodeIds
14. Commit the settings:

    (config-DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8)>commit

15. Verify the settings:

    (DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8)>show

    The following is an example output:

    DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8 action="4" nodeIds "0:node12.ericsson.com#abc" secFailoverActive=false

16. Is it required to configure the Authorization and Authentication Application Routing?
    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
    • No: Proceed with Step 25.
17. Navigate to the DIA-CFG-AuthReqContainer MO:

    >dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,XyzFunction=xyz,DIA-CFG-Application=DIA,DIA-CFG-StackContainer=abc,DIA-CFG-RoutingContainer=abc,DIA-CFG-Drt=ericsson.com:abc:FALSE,DIA-CFG-AuthReqContainer=authReqContainerName

18. Enter Config mode:

    (DIA-CFG-AuthReqContainer=authReqContainerName)>configure

19. Create a DIA-CFG-AppRouting MO, for example:

    (config-DIA-CFG-AuthReqContainer=authReqContainerName)>DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8

20. Set attribute action, for example:

    (config-DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8)>action=4

21. Set attribute nodeIds, for example:

    (config-DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8)>nodeIds="0:node12.ericsson.com#abc"

22. Set the optional attributes, as needed:
    • autoFailback
    • secondaryNodeIds
23. Commit the settings:

    (config-DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8)>commit

24. Verify the settings:

    (DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8)>show

    The following is an example output:

    DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8 action="4" nodeIds "0:node12.ericsson.com#abc" secFailoverActive=false

25. Navigate to the relevant DIA-CFG-RoutingContainer MO, for example:

    >dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,XyzFunction=xyz,DIA-CFG-Application=DIA,DIA-CFG-StackContainer=abc,DIA-CFG-RoutingContainer=abc

26. Verify the settings:

    (DIA-CFG-RoutingContainer=abc)>show -r

    The following is an example output:

    DIA-CFG-RoutingContainer=abc routingContainerName="routingContainerName" DIA-CFG-Drt=ericsson.com:abc:FALSE DIA-CFG-AccReqContainer=accReqContainerName DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8 action="4" nodeIds "0:node12.ericsson.com#abc" secFailoverActive=false DIA-CFG-AuthReqContainer=authReqContainerName DIA-CFG-AppRouting=0:8 action="4" nodeIds "0:node12.ericsson.com#abc" secFailoverActive=false
