Protected Networks

A Protected Network component contains Topology Hiding (TH) configuration data that is used when messages to and from that network are to be protected using Topology Hiding. The following fields are described in Diameter Protected Network configuration elements:

• Protected Network Realm - Realm of a network that is to be protected.
• Trusted Network List - A Trusted Network List of networks that are trusted by this Protected Network. If a Trusted Network List is not assigned to the Protected Network, then no networks are trusted for the Protected Network.
• Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set - The set of Path TH elements for this Protected Network. If a Path TH Configuration Set is not assigned to the Protected Network, then Path TH is disabled for the Protected Network.
• S9 PCRF Topology Hiding Configuration Set - S9 PCRF Topology Hiding Configuration Set name for this Protected Network
• MME/SGSN Topology Hiding Configuration Set - The set of MME/SGSN TH elements for this Protected Network. If a MME/SGSN TH Configuration Set is not assigned to the Protected Network, then MME/SGSN TH is disabled for the Protected Network.
• S6a/S6d HSS Topology Hiding Configuration Set - The set of S6a/S6d HSS TH elements for this Protected Network. If a S6a/S6d HSS TH Configuration Set is not assigned to the Protected Network, then S6a/S6d HSS TH is disabled for the Protected Network.
• S9 AF/pCSCF Topology Hiding Configuration Set - S9 AF/pCSCF Topology Hiding Configuration Set name for this Protected Network

On the Diameter > Configuration > Topology Hiding > Protected Networks page, you can perform the following actions:

• Filter the list of Protected Networks to display only the desired Protected Networks.
• Sort the list by a column, in ascending or descending order, by clicking the column heading. The default order is by Protected Network Realm in ascending ASCII order.

• Click an entry that is shown in blue for a Trusted Network List or a Configuration Set to open the Diameter > Configuration > Topology Hiding [Filtered] view page for that entry only.

• Click Insert.

  You can add a new Protected Network.

  The Diameter > Configuration > Topology Hiding > Protected Networks [Insert] does not open if the maximum number of Protected Networks per Network Element (500) already exists in the system.

• Select a Protected Network in the list and click Edit.

  You can edit the selected Protected Network

• Select a Protected Network in the list and click Delete. You can delete the selected Protected Network.
