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.

Context

To use Diameter for AAA, enable the Diameter function first. Then, you can configure some optional Diameter functions, such as the format of the Subscription-Id attribute sent to the Diameter server, maximum number of times a probe packet can be retransmitted, and the maximum number of times a CCR-I message can be retransmitted.

Procedure

(Optional) Run diameter subscription-id include { mac-address { macaddr_separator | noseparator } [ subscription-separator ] | username [ subscription-separator ] | circuit-id [ subscription-separator ] } ^*
A format is set for the Subscription-ID attribute to be sent to Diameter servers.
(Optional) Run diameter-dwr { retransmit retry-times | timeout second }^*
The number of dog-watch-request (DWR) probe packet retransmissions and a probe timeout period are configured.
