Diameter STR Timeouts

When a call ends, the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller alerts the RACF by sending it a Diameter Session Termination Request (STR) message. You can enable the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller to resend STR messages at the application layer if the STR messages time out. A new option STR-retry=x has been created that allows you to configure the number of times the STR messages are resent.

Diameter STR Timeouts Configuration

To configure Diameter request timeouts:

1. In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.

   ORACLE# configure terminal

2. Type media-manager and press Enter.

   ORACLE(configure)# media-manager
   ORACLE(media-manager)#

3. Type ext-policy-server and press Enter. The system prompt changes to let you know that you can begin configuring individual parameters.

   ORACLE(media-manager)# ext-policy-server
   ORACLE(ext-policy-server)#

4. Set the options parameter by typing options, a Space, the option name STR-retry=x with a plus sign in front of it. Then press Enter.

   ORACLE(ext-policy-server)# options +STR-retry=x

   If you type options and then the option value without the plus sign, you will overwrite any previously configured options. In order to append the new options to this configuration’s options list, you must prepend the new option with a plus sign as shown in the previous example.

5. Save and activate your configuration.
