diameter-peer

Function

The diameter-peer command creates a Diameter server entity and configures the entity information such as the domain name, host IP address, local port number, and client port number.

The undo diameter-peer command deletes a Diameter server entity.

By default, the device does not have Diameter server entities.

This command is supported only on the NetEngine 8000 F1A.

Format

diameter-peer peername { ip ip-address | ipv6 ipv6-address } [ vpn-instance vpn-instance ] port port-number [ host host-name | realm realm-name ] ^*

undo diameter-peer peername

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
peername	Specifies the server name.	The name is a string of 1 to 32 case-insensitive characters.
ip ip-address	Specifies the host IP addresses of the Diameter server.	The value is in dotted decimal notation.
ipv6 ipv6-address	Specifies the host IPv6 addresses of the Diameter server. You can configure IPv4 or IPv6 addresses for different servers in the same server group, but you can configure only one stack address for the same server.	The value is a 32-digit hexadecimal number, in the format of X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X.
vpn-instance vpn-instance	Specifies the vpn-instance name of the VPN instance.	The value is a string of 1 to 31 case-sensitive characters, spaces not supported. In addition, the VPN instance name must not be _public_. When double quotation marks are used around the string, spaces are allowed in the string.
port port-number	Specifies the port number on the Diameter server.	The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 49151.
host host-name	Specifies the host name of the Diameter server.	The name is a string of 1 to 127 case-insensitive characters.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The diameter-peer command is used to configure information about a Diameter server entity. The information serves as a basis for establishing a connection between a policy server (the Diameter server) and the device(the Diameter client).

Prerequisites

The Diameter protocol has been enabled on the device.

Configuration Impact

peername uniquely identifies a server entity. At most eight Diameter server entities can be specified on a Diameter client.

When using the diameter-peer command to create a server entity, configure the values of all parameters. If you want to change the value of host-name or realm-name in later configurations, just configure the concerned parameter(s) in the command.

Follow-up Procedure

After configuring information about the Diameter client and server, enter the Diameter server group view to establish a Diameter link between the client and the server.

Precautions

In VS mode, this command is supported only by the admin VS.

A server entity that already has a link set up with a client entity cannot be modified or deleted.

Example

# Create a server entity named huawei.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] diameter enable
[~HUAWEI] diameter-peer huawei ip 10.10.10.2 port 3288 host pcrf realm huawei.com
