Editing a Local Node

Use this task to edit a Local Node.

When the Diameter > Configuration > Local Nodes [Edit] page opens, the fields are initially populated with the current values for the selected Local Node.

Configuration considerations:
  • The Local Node Name cannot be changed.
  • The following fields cannot be edited if there is at least one associated Enabled connection:
    • Realm
    • FQDN
    • SCTP Listen Port (and the Transport Protocol is SCTP)
    • TCP Listen Port (and the Transport Protocol is TCP)
    • IP Address (cannot be removed if there is an Enabled connection, but a new IP Address can be added)
    • Connection Configuration Set
    • CEX Configuration Set
  1. Select Diameter > Configuration > Local Nodes.

    The Diameter > Configuration > Local Nodes page appears.

  2. Select the Local Node you want to edit, then click Edit.

    The Diameter > Configuration > Local Nodes [Edit] page appears.

  3. Update the relevant fields.

    For more information about each field, see Local Node configuration elements.

    The value for an entry in a pulldown list can be removed by selecting "--Select—" in the list, or selecting the X at the end of the list box (if an X is available).

  4. Click:
    • OK to save the data and return to the Diameter > Configuration > Local Nodes page.
    • Apply to save the data and remain on this page.
    • Cancel to return to the Diameter > Configuration > Local Nodes page without saving any changes.

    If OK or Apply is clicked and any of the following conditions exist, an error message appears:
    • The selected Local Node no longer exists; it has been deleted by another user
    • The selected IP Address or Connection Configuration Set has been deleted by another user
    • Any required field is empty; no value was entered or selected
    • The entry in any field is not valid (wrong data type or out of the valid range)
    • The selected pulldown list entry no longer exists (has been deleted by another user)
    • The edited FQDN is already assigned to a different Local or Peer Node
    • Neither the SCTP Enabled check box nor the TCP Enable check box is checked; at least one of them must be checked
    • SCTP Enabled was changed to be disabled (unchecked) and there is at least one associated SCTP connection.
    • TCP Enabled was changed to be disabled (unchecked) and there is at least one associated TCP connection.
    • The edited IP Address and SCTP Listen Port combination is already assigned to a different Local Node or Peer Node
    • The edited IP Address and TCP Listen Port combination is already assigned to a different Local Node or Peer Node
    • The selected SCTP Listen Port or TCP Listen Port is already used as a Local Initiate Port of a connection
