Adding a new Policy Client for Topology Hiding

Use this task to add a new Policy Client for Topology Hiding.

Note:

Topology Hiding is performed only if it is Enabled and the Topology Hiding Scope option is defined as Specific Clients or All Foreign Realms + Specific Clients in the Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > Network-Wide Options page on the NOAM.

The fields are described in Policy Clients elements.

1. On the Active SOAM, click Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > Policy Clients.
   The Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > Policy Clients page appears.
2. Click Insert.
   The Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > Policy Clients [Insert] page appears.
3. Select a Policy Client Peer Node Name from the Value dropdown list.
4. Check Topology Hiding Enabled if Topology hiding is needed for the Policy Client.
5. Enter an optional comment in the Comments field.
6. Click:
   • OK to save the changes and return to the Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > Policy Clients page.
   • Apply to save the changes and remain on this page.
   • Cancel to return to the Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > Policy Clients page without saving any changes.
   If OK or Apply is clicked and any of several conditions exist, an error message appears:

   • The entered comment exceeds 64 characters in length or contains something other than 7-bit ASCII characters.
   • The Policy Client Peer Node Name is missing.
   • The selected Policy Peer Node Name is already configured in the system.
