Changing the SCTP Checksum Algorithm Option for M2PA Associations

Use this procedure to change the SCTP checksum algorithm, either Adler-32 or CRC-32c, applied to traffic on SCTP associations. The sctpcsum parameter of the chg-sg-opts command is used to change this option. The Adler-32 and CRC-32c checksum algorithms specified in this procedure applies to all the associations that are assigned to all the IP cards running the IPLIM or IPLIMI applications. This option is a system-wide option. To apply this option to associations assigned to cards running the SS7IPGW, IPGWI, or IPSG applications, perform these procedures.

The sctpcsum parameter contains another value, percard, that allows either the Adler-32 or CRC-32c SCTP checksum algorithm to be specified for the all the associations assigned to a specific card. With this option specified, the Adler-32 checksum algorithm can be specified for the associations on one card and the CRC-32c checksum algorithm can be specified for the associations on another card. Setting the sctpcsum parameter to percard changes the SCTP checksum algorithm for the associations assigned to a card to the SCTP checksum algorithm value for that card. The checksum algorithm for individual cards is provisioned by performing the Configuring an IP Card procedure.

Once the SCTP checksum option has been changed, the associations on each IP card need to be reset by changing the open parameter value for each association to no, then back to yes. This ensures that the associations on the IP card are using the new SCTP checksum algorithm.

Canceling the RTRV-ASSOC Command

Because the rtrv-assoc command used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rtrv-assoc command can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rtrv-assoc command can be canceled.

  • Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rtrv-assoc command was entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-assoc command was entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rtrv-assoc command was entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rtrv-assoc command was entered. To enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx> command, the terminal must allow Security Administration commands to be entered from it and the user must be allowed to enter Security Administration commands. The terminal’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-secu-trm command. The user’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-user or rtrv-secu-user commands.

For more information about the canc-cmd command, go to Commands User's Guide.

    Record the card location, shown in the LOC column, and signaling link, shown in the LINK column, information for all cards running the IPLIM or IPLIMI applications.

  3. Change the SCTP checksum option in the database using the chg-sg-opts command. For this example, enter this command.

    chg-sg-opts:sctpcsum=crc32c

    When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.

    
    rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:19:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    CHG-SG-OPTS: MASP A - COMPLTD
    
    Continue the procedure by performing one of these actions.
    • If the sctpcsum parameter value was changed to either adler32 or crc32c, continue the procedure with 4.
    • If the sctpcsum parameter value was changed to percard, perform the Configuring an IP Card procedure to assign an sctpcsum parameter value to all the cards running the IPLIM or IPLIMI applications. After the Configuring an IP Card procedure has been performed, continue the procedure with 5.
  4. Verify that the SCTP checksum algorithm was changed using the rtrv-sg-opts command. The SCTP checksum algorithm option value is shown in the SCTPCSUM parameter. The following is an example of the possible output.
    
    rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:16:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    SCTPCSUM:       crc32c
    

    The rtrv-sg-opts command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-sg-opts command, see the rtrv-sg-opts command description in Commands User's Guide.

  5. Select one of the IP cards shown in the rtrv-card output in 2 running the IPLIM or IPLIMI applications. Place the signaling links on this card out of service using the dact-slk command. For this example, enter these commands.

    dact-slk:loc=1308:link=a1

    dact-slk:loc=1308:link=b

    dact-slk:loc=1308:link=b2

    IP Host table is (10 of 4096) .24% full
    
  8. Display the associations assigned to the IP card specified in 5, using the rtrv-assoc command with the local host name of the associations assigned to the IP card. To find the local host name of the association, the card location of the IP card is assigned to an IP address in the IP link table (rtrv-ip-lnk output). The IP address is assigned to a hostname in the IP host table (rtrv-ip-host output).

    For this example, the local host name of associations assigned to the IP card 1308 (the card specified in 5) is IPNODE2-1205. Enter this command.

    rtrv-assoc:lhost=ipnode2-1205

    If the checksum algorithm shown in any of the associations displayed in this step do not match the checksum algorithm specified in 3, contact the Customer Care Center. Refer to My Oracle Support (MOS) for the contact information.

    If the checksum algorithm shown in all of the associations displayed in this step match the checksum algorithm specified in 3, continue the procedure with 12.

  12. Put the signaling links that were placed out of service in 5 back into service using the act-slk command. For example, enter this command.

    act-slk:loc=1308:link=a1

    act-slk:loc=1308:link=b

    act-slk:loc=1308:link=b2

  13. Verify the in-service normal (IS-NR) status of the signaling link by using the rept-stat-slk command and specifying the card location and link values specified in 12.

    For example, enter these commands.

    rept-stat-slk:loc=1308:link=a1

    This message should appear.

  15. Repeat 5 through 14 to update the other IP cards in the EAGLE running the IPLIM and IPLIMI applications with the new SCTP checksum algorithm.

    If the rtrv-card output in 2 shows cards running the SS7IPGW, IPGWI, or IPSG applications, continue the procedure with 17.

  16. Back up the database by entering the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command. These messages should appear, the active Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor (MASP) appears first.
    BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on active MASP.
    BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on active MASP to fixed disk complete.
    BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on standby MASP.
    BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on standby MASP to fixed disk complete.
  17. If the rtrv-card output in 2 shows cards running the SS7IPGW or IPGWI applications, perform the Changing the SCTP Checksum Algorithm Option for M3UA and SUA Associations procedure.
    If the rtrv-card output in 2 shows cards running the IPSG application, perform these procedures.

    If the rtrv-card output in 2 shows that there are no cards running the SS7IPGW, IPGWI, or IPSG applications, this procedure is finished.
