This procedure is used to change the relative cost of a route or the linkset assigned to a route in the database using the chg-rte
command.
The chg-rte
command uses these parameters.
:dpc/dpca/dpci/dpcn/dpcn24
– The destination point code of the node that the traffic is bound for.
Note:
See Point Code Formats for a definition of the point code types that are used on the EAGLE and for a definition of the different formats that can be used for ITU national point codes.:lsn
– The name of the linkset that is currently assigned to the route.
:rc
– The relative cost (priority) for this route.
:nlsn
– The name of the new linkset that will carry the traffic bound for the node specified by the destination point code.
The route to be changed must exist in the database. This can be verified in 1.
If the DPC of the route being changed is a private point code, or if the ipgwapc
parameter of the linkset assigned to the route is yes
, the route is an IPGWx route (a route that contains an IPGWx linkset). The IPGWx route can contain only one linkset. The DPC of an IPGWx route must either be the APC of the IPGWx linkset or the SAPC assigned to the IPGWx linkset. The DPC of the route cannot be changed. The SAPC can be assigned to only one linkset. As a result, the linkset assigned to the IPGWx route cannot be changed. Only the rc
parameter value assigned to the route can be changed.
The examples in this procedure are used to change the relative cost assigned to the linkset ls01
for the route to DPC 003-003-003
in the database to change the name of linkset ls01
to lsa2
.
Changing Routes Other than IPGWx Routes
If the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature is enabled and turned on, a maximum of six routes in the routeset can be assigned the same relative cost value. It is recommended that the routeset be provisioned with a group of four routes that have the same relative cost value and another group of two routes that have the same relative cost value. Three or five routes in the routeset that have the same relative cost value can be provisioned, but the odd number makes it more difficult to distribute the route traffic evenly. Six routes in the routeset that have the same relative cost value can be provisioned, but this does not allow for any backup routes and also offers the worst chance for congestion and queuing issues during network failures. If the 6-Way Loadsharing on Routesets feature is not enabled or not turned on, a maximum of two linksets can be assigned the same relative cost value. The relative cost value of the route is defined by the rc
parameter of the chg-rte
command and is shown in the RC
field in the output of the rtrv-rte
command.
The ANSI DPC (DPC/DPCA) of the route can use either a full point code, a cluster point code, or a network routing point code. ITU DPCs (DPCI and DPCN - 14-bit or 24-bit DPCNs) must use full point codes. For more information on full and cluster point codes, go to the Cluster Routing and Management Diversity (CRMD) section. For more information on network routing point codes, go to the Network Routing section.
The DPC of the route must be of the same format as the APC of the linkset being added to the route. That is, routes containing ANSI DPCs must have linksets with ANSI APCs; routes containing ITU-I DPCs must have linksets with ITU-I APCs; routes containing 14-bit ITU-N DPCs must have linksets with 14-bit ITU-N APCs; routes containing 24-bit ITU-N DPCs must have linksets with 24-bit ITU-N APCs. The DPC of the route must be defined as a true point code in the rtrv-dstn
output. Alias point codes and secondary point codes cannot be used. True point codes are shown in the output of the rtrv-dstn
command in the DPCA
, DPCI
, DPCN
, or DPCN24
fields.
Either the nlsn
or rc
parameters, or both, must be specified with the chg-rte
command. If neither of these parameters are specified, the command is rejected.
The linkset specified by the nlsn
parameter must be in the database and must contain at least one signaling link. This can be verified with the rtrv-ls
command and specifying the name of the linkset with the lsn
parameter.
If the DPC of the route is a cluster point code or a network routing point code, only linksets, specified with either the lsn
or nlsn
parameters, whose linkset type is either B, C, or D can be assigned to the route. The linkset type is shown in the LST
field of the rtrv-ls
command output. If the linkset type of the desired linkset is either A, E, or PRX, one of three actions must be taken.
If the DPC of the route is a member of a cluster point code, and the nested cluster allowed indicator (ncai
parameter of either the ent-dstn
or chg-dstn
command) is set to no
, then all destinations in the cluster have the same route as the cluster point code, with the same attributes as the route to the cluster point code. If the nested cluster allowed indicator is set to yes
, then the routes to the members of the cluster point code, and the attributes of these routes, can be different from the route to the cluster point code. For more information, see the Nested Cluster Routing section.
If the APC of the linkset assigned to the route and the DPC of the route are the same, the name of the linkset cannot be changed in this procedure if the linkset and the DPC of the route contain these attributes.
These attributes can be verified by entering the rtrv-dstn command with the DPC of the route and the rtrv-ls command with the linkset name assigned to the route. If these attributes are present and you wish to change the name of the linkset, perform the Removing a Route procedure to remove the linkset from the DPC of the route. To remove a proxy linkset from the DPC of the route, all the linksets assigned to the DPC must be removed. After the linksets have been removed from the DPC, Add the new linkset to the DPC of the route by performing the Adding a Route Containing an SS7 DPC procedure.
Canceling the RTRV-LS
and RTRV-RTE
Commands
Because the rtrv-ls
and rtrv-rte
commands used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rtrv-ls
and rtrv-rte
commands can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rtrv-ls
and rtrv-rte
commands can be canceled.
F9
function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rtrv-ls
or rtrv-rte
commands were entered.canc-cmd
without the trm
parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-ls
or rtrv-rte
commands were entered.canc-cmd:trm=<xx>
, where <xx>
is the terminal where the rtrv-ls
or rtrv-rte
commands were entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rtrv-ls
or rtrv-rte
commands were 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.
