Create Basic M3UA IPSP-IPSP Configuration

1 Description

This instruction describes how to create and configure basic M3UA IP Server Process - IP Server Process (IPSP - IPSP) configuration using the Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI).

2 Procedure

2.1 Configure Basic IPSP - IPSP Configuration

Prerequisites

No documents are required.
No tools are required.
The following conditions must apply:
- An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.
- A Managed Object (MO) SctpProfile exists.
- A Managed Object (MO) LocalSignalingPoint exists.
- A Managed Object (MO) RemoteSignalingPoint exists.
- A Managed Object (MO) LocalSctpEndpoint exists.
- A Managed Object (MO) RemoteSpProfile exists.
- A Managed Object (MO) AsProfile exists.

Steps

There is recommended order of creating objects of basic IPSP-IPSP configuration:

Create Remote Application Server, see Section 2.2.
Create Local Application Server, see Section 2.3.
Create Local IP Server Process, see Section 2.4.
Create Remote IP Server Process, see Section 2.5.

2.2 Create Remote Application Server

Steps

Navigate to the M3ua MO, for example:
>ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,M3ua=1
Enter Config mode:
(M3ua=1)>configure
Create the RemoteAs MO, for example:
(config-M3ua=1)>RemoteAs=40001
To see all attributes with values, run show command, for example:
(config-RemoteAs=40001)>show -v

The following is an example output:
RemoteAs=40001 asProfile=[] remoteAsId=40001 reservedBy=[] routingContext=[]
Set the value of the asProfile attribute, for example:
(config-RemoteAs=40001)>asProfile="ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,M3ua=1,AsProfile=1"
Set the value of the routingContext attribute, for example:
(config-RemoteAs=40001)>routingContext=1

2.3 Create Local Application Server

Steps

Navigate to the M3ua MO, for example:
(config-RemoteAs=40001)>ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,M3ua=1
Create the LocalAs MO, for example:
(config-M3ua=1)>LocalAs=1
To see all attributes with values, run show command, for example:
(config-LocalAs=1)>show -v

The following is an example output:
LocalAs=1 asProfile=[] localAsId=1 localSpc=[] networkAppearance=[] remoteAs=[] reservedBy=[]
Set the value of the localSpc attribute, for example:
(config-LocalAs=1)>localSpc="ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,SignalingNetwork=1,LocalSignalingPoint=1"
Set the value of the networkAppearance attribute, for example:
(config-LocalAs=1)>networkAppearance=0
Set the value of the remoteAs attribute, for example:
(config-LocalAs=1)>remoteAs="ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,M3ua=1,RemoteAs=40001"
Set the value of the asProfile attribute, for example:
(config-LocalAs=1)>asProfile="ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,M3ua=1,AsProfile=1"
Create the RkGrouping MO, for example:
(config-LocalAs=1)>RkGrouping=1
To see all attributes with values, run show command, for example:
(config-RkGrouping=1)>show -v

The following is an example output:
RkGrouping=1 dpc=[] localSpc=-1 rkGroupingId=1 si=[]
Set the value of the si attribute. Examples:
- (config-RkGrouping=1)>si=3
- To set several values they are to be included in square brackets and separated by comma, for example:
  (config-RkGrouping=1)> si=[3,4]
- If si attribute is empty, it means all SIs are applicable. To delete all configured SIs and make all SIs applicable, please use:
  (config-RkGrouping=1)>no si
Set the value of the localSpc attribute, for example:
(config-RkGrouping=1)>localSpc=100
Set the value of the dpc attribute. Examples:
- (config-RkGrouping=1)>dpc=["ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,SignalingNetwork=1,RemoteSignalingPoint=1"]
- To set several DPCs they are to be included in square brackets and separated by comma, for example:
  (config-RkGrouping=1)> dpc=["ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,SignalingNetwork=1,RemoteSignalingPoint=1","ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,SignalingNetwork=1,RemoteSignalingPoint=2"]
- If dpc attribute is empty, it means all DPCs are applicable. To delete all configured DPCs and make all DPCs applicable, please use:
  (config-RkGrouping=1)>no dpc
Create the RoutingContext MO, for example:
1. Navigate to the LocalAs MO, for example:
  (config-RkGrouping=1)>ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,M3ua=1,LocalAs=1
2. Create the RoutingContext MO:
  (config-LocalAs=1)>RoutingContext=1
Note:
Step is optional. RoutingContext may be not created if a LocalIpsp serves only one LocalAs MO.

2.4 Create Local IP Server Process

Steps

Navigate to the M3ua MO, for example:
(config-RoutingContext=1)>ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,M3ua=1
Create the LocalIpsp MO, for example:
(config-M3ua=1)>LocalIpsp=1
To see all attributes with values, run show command, for example:
(config-LocalIpsp=1)>show -v

The following is an example output:
LocalIpsp=1 localAs=[] localIpspId=1 sctpEndpoint=[]
Set the value of the sctpEndpoint attribute, for example:
(config-LocalIpsp=1)>sctpEndpoint="ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,M3ua=1,LocalSctpEndpoint=1"
Set the value of the localAs attribute. Examples:
(config-LocalIpsp=1)>localAs=["ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,M3ua=1,LocalAs=1"]

2.5 Create Remote IP Server Process

Steps

Navigate to the LocalIpsp MO, for example:
(config-LocalIpsp=1)>ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,M3ua=1,LocalIpsp=1
Create the RemoteIpsp MO, for example:
(config-LocalIpsp=1)>RemoteIpsp=1

To see all attributes with values, run show command, for example:

(config-RemoteIpsp=1)>show -v

The following is an example output:

RemoteIpsp=1
   aspIdentifier=0
   aspIdentifierHandling=NO_ASP_ID
   exchangeMode=SINGLE_EXCHANGE_MODE
   localCongestionLevel=3
   messageDiscardLevelShift=0
   networkAppearanceHandling=OFF
   primaryLocalIpAddress=[]
   primaryRemoteIpAddress=[]
   remoteAddresses=[]
   remoteAs=[]
   remoteAspId=0
   remoteIpspId=1
   remotePortNumber=2905
   remoteSctpProfile=[]
   remoteSpPriority=1
   remoteSpProfile=[]
   routingContextHandling=RFC_4666_COMPLIANT
   routingContexts=[]
   sctpType=CLIENT_PEER
   spInStartAll=INCLUDE_IN_START_ALL

Set the value of the remoteAddresses attribute. Examples:
- (config-RemoteIpsp=1)>remoteAddresses=1.1.1.1
- To create several addresses they are to be included in square brackets and separated by comma, for example:
  (config-RemoteIpsp=1)>remoteAddresses=[1.1.1.1,1.1.1.2]
Set the value of the remotePortNumber attribute, for example:
(config-RemoteIpsp=1)>remotePortNumber=2906
Set the value of the remoteAs attribute. Examples:
(config-RemoteIpsp=1)>remoteAs=["ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,M3ua=1,RemoteAs=40001"]
Set the value of the remoteSctpProfile attribute, for example:
(config-RemoteIpsp=1)>remoteSctpProfile="ManagedElement=1,Transport=1,Sctp=1,SctpProfile=1"
Set the value of the remoteSpProfile attribute, for example:
(config-RemoteIpsp=1)>remoteSpProfile="ManagedElement=1,Ss7=1,M3ua=1,RemoteSpProfile=1"
Commit the changes:
(config-RemoteIpsp=1)>commit

Note:
After successful "commit" all recently added MOs (RemoteAs, LocalAs, LocalIpsp, RemoteIpsp) are activated automatically. No additional actions are needed.
