Routing configuration connects the local and remote signaling network elements and can only occur after all local and remote signaling network tasks have been completed. Once you have finished the routing configuration tasks the application is ready to perform signaling activities.
The steps to setting up routing configuration are:
- Create link sets to connect each MP server to the appropriate signaling gateways. In other words, a link set creates a relationship between a local signaling point and an adjacent remote signaling point
- Configure IP interfaces for each network interface on each MP server in the site
- Configure IP routes to each customer network for each IP interface
- For each MP server, create an association to each adjacent server that the MP must signal through
- Create Links that reference each Association and Link Set
- Create routes for each Remote Signaling Point and Link Set
- Enable the Associations
- Enable the Links
