S9 Configuration Options

Attribute: Description
Initiate S9 Requests: If true, the MPE device can initiate S9 requests. In addition, you must specify Initiate Connection when you define the Diameter peer. For more information, see Configuring Diameter Peers.
Note: If an MRA device is deployed in the Policy Management network, the MPE device will not initiate S9 connections regardless of how you configure S9 options.
Accept S9 Requests: If true, the MPE device can accept S9 requests. If not enabled, when the MPE device receives an S9 request, an error code is generated at the device.
Primary DEA: If one or more Diameter Edge Agents is defined, you can select the primary agent from the list. For information on defining a DEA, see Configuring Diameter Peers.
Secondary DEA: If multiple Diameter Edge Agents are defined, you can select the secondary agent from the list. If you select both primary and secondary DEAs (and there is not a deployed MRA device in the Policy Management network), the MPE device establishes a connection to both DEAs. If the primary connection is down, the MPE device sends messages over the secondary connection. After the primary connection is back up, communication reverts back to the primary.
