Editing a Peer Node

Use this task to edit a Peer Node.

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

Configuration considerations:
  • The Peer Node Name cannot be changed
  • SCTP Enabled cannot be disabled (unchecked) if there is at least one associated SCTP connection.
  • TCP Enabled cannot be disabled (unchecked) if there is at least one associated TCP connection.
  • You cannot remove an IP Addresses entry that is in use by at least one connection. A new IP Address can be added.
  • The following fields cannot be edited if there is at least one Enabled connection:
    • Realm
    • Fully Qualified Domain Name
    • SCTP Listen Port
    • TCP Listen Port
  1. Select Diameter > Configuration > Peer Nodes.

    The Diameter > Configuration > Peer Nodes page appears.

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

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

  3. Update the relevant fields.

    For more information about each field please see Peer Node configuration elements.

    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).

    An IP Address can be removed by deleting the information in the text box or by clicking the X at the end of the text box.

    • OK to save the changes and return to the Diameter > Configuration > Peer Nodes page.
    • Apply to save the changes and remain on this page.
