MAP-Diameter IWF Configuration Overview

The MAP-Diameter IWF > Configuration GUI pages for MAP-Diameter components provide fields for entering the information needed to manage MAP-Diameter configuration in the DSR.

The DSR 3-tiered Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) topology is required for the MAP-Diameter Interworking Function application. 3-tiered OAM topology consists:

• A pair of NOAM servers running in active/standby redundancy

  OAM configuration is performed on the NOAM.

  Network-wide MAP-Diameter IWF configuration is performed on the NOAM.

• A pair or triplet of SOAM servers at each site running in active/standby, or active/standby/spare redundancy

  Diameter protocol configuration is done on the SOAM.

  Most of the OAM configuration components are viewable on the SOAM.

  Most DSR Application configuration is done on the SOAM.

  Site-specific configuration for MAP-Diameter Interworking Function is performed on the SOAM

• A set of MP servers, which can host signaling protocol stacks (for example, DA-MPs).

The MD-IWF application is configured on the NOAM. The DM-IWF application is configured on the SOAM.

An optional pair of Disaster Recovery NOAMs can be configured to manually take over in the event of loss of both the active and standby NOAMs

The three tiers allow configured data to be replicated down to the MP servers, and measurements, events, and alarms to be merged up to the OAM servers.

3-tiered topology allows administrators to access all DSR GUI pages from a single sign-on. An administrator can access the DSR SOAM when logged into the DSR NOAM, without needing to re-enter login credentials.
