A Local Node is a local Diameter node that is specified with a realm and an FQDN. The DSR supports up to 32 Local Nodes.
The Local Node identifies:
- Domain information
- SCTP Listen Port Number
- TCP Listen Port Number
- The supported transport type(s)
- A list of IP addresses available for establishing Diameter transport connections
After it is configured, a Local Node can be assigned to connections for use in Diameter routing.
On the
Diameter > Configuration > Local Nodes page, you can perform the following actions:
- Filter the list of Local Nodes to display only the desired Local Nodes.
- Sort the list by a column in ascending or descending order, by clicking the column heading (except IP Addresses). The default order is by Local Node Name in ascending ASCII order.

Click a field entry that is shown in blue for a Local Node. The blue entries are links to the configuration pages for those types of items.
