Configuring IP Options

Use this procedure to change the IP options defined by these parameters: getcomm, setcomm, snmpcont, srkq, trapcomm, ipgwabate, and uameasusedftas.

The chg-sg-opts command also contains the sctpcsum parameter. Perform the one of these procedures to change the sctpcsum parameter value.

:getcomm – The community name used to validate SNMP Get and GetNext requests. This value applies to each IP card SNMP agent.

:setcomm – The community name used to validate SNMP Set requests. This value applies to each IP card SNMP agent.

:snmpcont – The system contact information for each IP card SNMP agent, used to define the sysContact object in the SNMP MIB II System Group.

:srkq – The static routing key quantity used to specify the maximum number of static routing key entries in the Routing Key table of each ss7ipgw and ipgwi card.

:trapcomm – The community name used when sending SNMP traps. This value applies to each IP card SNMP agent.

:ipgwabate – enables (ipgwabate=yes) or disables (ipgwabate=no) SS7 congestion abatement procedures for IPGWx signaling links (signaling links assigned to cards running the ss7ipgw or ipgwi applications). The default value for this parameter is no.

:uameasusedftas - specifies whether UA measurements are pegged against the default application server or against the application server shown by the routing context. The values for this parameter are yes and no. The system default value for this parameter is yes.

yes - UA measurement registers are pegged against the default application server.
no - UA measurements are pegged against the application server shown by the routing context.

The maximum value of the srkq parameter is 2500.

The value specified for the srkq parameter cannot be less than the current number of provisioned routing keys. The number of routing keys that are currently provisioned is shown in the rtrv-appl-rtkey or rtrv-tbl-capacity command outputs.

The values of the snmpcont, getcomm, setcomm, and trapcomm parameters are a string of up to 32 characters that is not case sensitive. If the character string contains characters other than alphanumeric characters, the character string must be enclosed in single quotes.

Display the current IP options in the database by entering the rtrv-sg-opts command.
The following is an example of the possible output.
```
rlghncxa03w 08-04-28 21:17:37 GMT EAGLE5 38.0.0
SRKQ:           250
SNMPCONT:       john doe 555-123-4567
GETCOMM:        public
SETCOMM:        private
TRAPCOMM:       public
SCTPCSUM:       crc32c
IPGWABATE:      NO
UAMEASUSEDFTAS  YES
```
If the srkq parameter value will not be changed, continue the procedure with 3.

If the srkq parameter value will be changed, verify the number of routing keys that are currently provisioned by performing 2.
Enter the rtrv-tbl-capacity command to verify the number of routing keys that are currently provisioned.
The following is an example of the possible output.
```
rlghncxa03w 08-04-28 21:17:37 GMT EAGLE5 38.0.0

RTEKEY   table is (       53 of      2500)   2% full
```
Note:
The rtrv-tbl-capacity command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-tbl-capacity command, see the rtrv-tbl-capacity command description in the Commands Manual.

The number of routing keys that are currently provisioned is shown in the RTEKEY row of the rtrv-tbl-capacity output. In this example, there are 53 routing keys provisioned in the database. The new srkq parameter value cannot be less than 53.
Change the IP options in the database using the chg-sg-opts command.
For this example, enter this command.

chg-sg-opts:srkq=200:ipgwabate=yes:uameasusedftas=no

When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 08-04-28 21:18:37 GMT EAGLE5 38.0.0
CHG-SG-OPTS: MASP A - COMPLTD
```

Verify the new IP options in the database by entering the rtrv-sg-opts command.

The following is an example of the possible output.


rlghncxa03w 08-04-28 21:19:37 GMT EAGLE5 38.0.0
SRKQ:           200
SNMPCONT:       john doe 555-123-4567
GETCOMM:        public
SETCOMM:        private
TRAPCOMM:       public
SCTPCSUM:       crc32c
IPGWABATE:      YES
UAMEASUSEDFTAS  NO

Back up the new changes using 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.
