Table 3-40 Discovery Attributes Elements

Field	Description	Data Input Notes
Realm Name	Name of the Realm where Diameter Peers are to be discovered.	Format: List Range: NA Default: NA
DNS Set	DNS server set used for Peer Discovery.	Format: List Default: -Select-
Local Node	Local Node used to connect to all Peers discovered within the Realm.	Format: List Range: NA Default: Initiator & Responder
Connection Mode	Specifies the connection mode used for Peer discovery.	Format: List Range: Initiator Only indicates that all connections to discovered Peers are Initiator Only; the application attempts to initiate connection to these Peers. Initiator and Responder indicates that all connections to discovered Peers are of the type Initiator and Responder; the application attempts to initiate connection to the discovered Peers as well as listen for connection attempts from these Peers. Default: Initiator & Responder
Local Protocol Preference Override	If checked, this indicates that the local protocol preferences specified for each Application ID take precedence over the protocol preferences discovered for each Peer in the Realm.	Format: checkbox Range: checked, unchecked Default: Unchecked
Applications	List of applications used for peer discovery.
	CEX Parameters CEX parameters to be searched. You can specify up to ten parameters. . If no Vendor IDs are associated with the selected CEX parameter, Additional Supported Vendor IDs is empty. Note: Because each Realm can have one to ten CEX parameters, you must use the plus (+) symbol to expand the list. Sorting by any of the fields associated with the CEX parameter is not supported on the view page.	CEX Parameters Format: List Range: Configured CEX parameters Default: -Select-

Values 1 - 4 indicate the hierarchical local protocol preferences (1 is most preferred, 4 is least preferred). You can assign the same value to more than one protocol.
