Policy Clients

Topology hiding configuration is performed at both the network level using the NOAM GUI and at the site level using the SOAM GUI.

The fields are described in Policy Clients elements.

SOAM Options

On the SOAM GUI, use the Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > Policy Clients page to define the list of Policy Client Peer Nodes from which the PCRF name is to be hidden. This page can be used only if Topology Hiding is Enabled and the Topology Hiding Scope option is either Specific Clients or All Foreign Realms + Specific Clients on the Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > Network-Wide Options page on the NOAM GUI. See Site Options for additional information.

• Filter the list of Policy Client Peer Node Names, to display only the desired Policy Client Peer Node Names.
• Sort the list entries in ascending or descending order by Policy Client Peer Node Names or by Comments, by clicking the column heading. By default, the list is sorted by Policy Client Peer Node Names in ascending numerical order.
• Click Insert.

  The Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > Policy Clients [Insert] page opens. You can add a Policy Client Peer Node Name and Comment. See Adding a new Policy Client for Topology Hiding. If the maximum number of Policy Client Peer Nodes (1000) already exists in the system, the Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > Policy Clients [Insert] page will not open, and an error message is displayed.

• Select the Comment cell in the row for a Policy Client Peer Node Name in the list, and click Edit. (Clicking the blue Policy Client Peer Node Name will open the filtered Diameter > Configuration > Peer Nodes page for the Peer Node.)

  The Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > Policy Clients [Edit] page opens. You can edit the Comment for the selected Policy Client Peer Node Name. (The Policy Client Peer Node Name cannot be changed). See Editing Policy Clients for Topology Hiding.

• Select the Comment in the row for a Policy Client Peer Node Name in the list, and click Delete to remove the selected Policy Client Peer Node Name. See Deleting a Topology Hiding Policy Client Peer Node.
