Diameter, Configure Vendor and Attribute-Value Pair

1 Description

This instruction describes how to configure a Diameter vendor and an Attribute-Value Pair (AVP) for the vendor.

A vendor registers its own Diameter applications, commands, or AVPs not defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

2 Procedure

Prerequisites

No documents are required.
No tools are required.
The following conditions must apply:
- The settings for the vendor are known.
- The settings for the AVP are known.

2.1 Configure Vendor and Attribute-Value Pair using CLI

Prerequisites

An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.

Steps

Navigate to the DIA-CFG-DictionaryContainer Managed Object (MO), for example:
>dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,XyzFunction=xyz,DIA-CFG-Application=DIA,DIA-CFG-DictionaryContainer=dictionaryContainerName
Enter Config mode:
(DIA-CFG-DictionaryContainer=dictionaryContainerName)>configure
Create the DIA-CFG-Vendor MO, for example:
(config-DIA-CFG-DictionaryContainer=dictionaryContainerName)>DIA-CFG-Vendor=1
Set the diaVendorName attribute, for example:
(config-DIA-CFG-Vendor=1)>diaVendorName="ERICMOB"
Commit the settings:
(config-DIA-CFG-Vendor=1)>commit
Verify the settings:
(DIA-CFG-Vendor=1)>show

The following is an example output:
DIA-CFG-Vendor=1 diaVendorName="ERICMOB"
Enter Config mode:
(DIA-CFG-Vendor=1)>configure
Create a DIA-CFG-AvpDef MO, for example:
(config-DIA-CFG-Vendor=1)>DIA-CFG-AvpDef=1:1
Set the avpDataType attribute, for example:
(config-DIA-CFG-AvpDef=1:1)>avpDataType=1
Set the avpName attribute, for example:
(config-DIA-CFG-AvpDef=1:1)>avpName="DEF"
Set the stackIds attribute, for example:
(config-DIA-CFG-AvpDef=1:1)>stackIds="0:StackId0"
Set the required optional attributes for the DIA-CFG-AvpDef=1:1 MO.
Commit the settings:
(config-DIA-CFG-AvpDef=1:1)>commit

Verify the settings:

(DIA-CFG-AvpDef=1:1)>show

The following is an example output:

DIA-CFG-AvpDef=1:1
   avpDataType="1"
   avpName="DEF"
   stackIds
      "0:StackId0"

2.2 Configure Vendor and Attribute-Value Pair using NETCONF

Prepare an XML file according to the following template to add a Vendor:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hello xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <capabilities>
    <capability>urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.0</capability>
  </capabilities>
</hello>]]>]]>
<rpc message-id="100" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<edit-config>
  <target><running/></target>
   <config>
     <ManagedElement xmlns="urn:com:ericsson:ecim:ComTop">
     <managedElementId>1</managedElementId>
      <XYZFunctionBranch>
       <DIA-CFG-Application xmlns="urn:com:ericsson:ecim:dia_mim">
        <applicationName>DIA</applicationName>
         <DIA-CFG-DictionaryContainer>
          <dictionaryContainerName>dictionaryContainerName</dictionaryContainerName>
            <DIA-CFG-Vendor operation="create">
             <diaVendorId><vendorId></diaVendorId>
             <diaVendorName><vendorName></diaVendorName>
            </DIA-CFG-Vendor>
         </DIA-CFG-DictionaryContainer>
       </DIA-CFG-Application>
    </XYZFunctionBranch>
   </ManagedElement>
  </config>
</edit-config>
</rpc>]]>]]>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rpc message-id="101" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">

</rpc>]]>]]>

Note:: The XYZFunctionBranch part can be composed of many elements depending on where the Diameter subtree is connected in the managed element structure. In the example below, we assume that the parent MOs are already created and the XYZFunctionBranch is empty.

Pass the prepared XML file to shell:
