Diameter Routing: Creating Peer Groups

Note: You must first create endpoints, connections, and peers before creating peer groups.
A peer group defines a complete routing rule by specifying the relationship between several connection groups.
Note: The CMP system must be configured for Wireless-C to use Diameter Routing.

If you need to define routing rules between several connection groups, use this procedure.

To create a peer group:

  1. From the MRA section of the navigation pane, select Diameter Routing.
  2. From the Diameter Routing tree, select Peer Groups.
  3. Click Create Peer Group to open the Configuration screen.
  4. Enter the Name
  5. (Optional) Enter the Description / Location for the Peer Group.
  6. Select the Peer Group Mode.
    • Do not select a Peer Group Mode, if the selected mode groups are independent of each other.
    • Select either Active Standby or Load Balancing depending on what is needed in the routing scenario.
  7. Select the Connect Type
    • Select DRA if only one peer group is to be used.
      Note: Only one peer group can be created if the connection type is DRA.
    • Select Direct Link if one or more Peer Groups are to be used.
  8. Select an Associated MRA.
  9. Select if the Peer Group is Enabled. Enable a Peer Group if Direct Link is the connection type.
  10. Select Peers if peers are to be used.

    Note: If DRA connection type is used, only one peer can be selected.

  11. Click Save.
The peer group is created.
