Configuring Diameter

Configure Diameter if service policies need to be delivered through a Diameter server.

A Diameter server delivers service policies for value-added services, such as BOD, DAA, and EDSG services.

Before configuring Diameter, familiarize yourself with the following basic concepts:

Diameter client: configured on a local router. Only one Diameter client can be configured on the router.
Diameter server: configured on a remote policy server RM9000. A maximum of eight Diameter servers can be specified for the router.
Diameter connection group: a connection group between a Diameter server and a client. A Diameter connection group is uniquely identified by a client name and a server name. A maximum of eight Diameter connection groups can be configured on the router, because a maximum of eight Diameter servers can be specified for the router.
Diameter connection link: a link for the TCP-based connection between a Diameter server and a client. A connection link is uniquely identified by the IP addresses and port numbers of the Diameter server and client. A maximum of four Diameter connection links can be configured in a Diameter connection group.

(Optional) Configuring Interfaces to Support EDSG Service Policies Delivered by Diameter Servers: If Diameter needs to be used in EDSG service scenarios, configure Diameter interfaces to support EDSG service policies delivered by Diameter servers.

Enabling the Diameter Function: To use Diameter for AAA, you must enable the Diameter function. Otherwise, a Diameter client cannot establish connections with Diameter servers.

Configuring a Diameter Connection Link: Configure a Diameter connection link to connect a Diameter client and server.

(Optional) Binding a Diameter Server Group to an AAA Domain: After a Diameter server group is configured, bind the server group to an AAA domain.

Verifying the Diameter Configuration: After configuring Diameter, check the configuration.
