Table 3-22 Peer Routing Rules Configuration Elements

Field (* indicates required field)	Description	Data Input Notes
* Rule Name	Unique name of the Peer Routing Rule.	Format: case-sensitive; alphanumeric and underscore (_); cannot start with a digit and must contain at least one alpha Range: 1 - 32 characters
* Peer Route Table	The Peer Route Table to which the peer routing rule belongs	View-only
* Priority	Priority of the rule in relation to other rules. The priority is set from 1 (highest priority) to 99 (lowest priority).	Format: text box; numeric Range: 1 - 99
* Conditions	For a diameter message to be matched by a rule, the message must match each specified part of a condition. Each condition has three parts: Parameter Operator Value
	Parameter: Destination-Realm Destination-Host Application-ID Command-Code Origin-Realm Origin-Host	Format: Operator and Value for each Parameter
	Operator: Sets the relationship between the parameter and the value. For example, if the operator is set to equals then the diameter message parameter must match the set value.	Format: List Range: For a description of operators, see Peer Routing Rule operators.
	Value: The value in the diameter message the peer routing rule uses to determine a match. A value is required if the operator is equals, starts with, or ends with. The value field is disabled for the operators present, absent, and always true.	Format: text box or list Range: Destination-Realm and Origin-Realm Destination-Host and Origin-Host Application-ID Command-Code Command-Code Note: An ECC is a Command Code that also takes into account the value of a specific AVP for that Command Code that gives the true command type (for example, CCR-I, CCR-U, and so on). Range: One or more Parameters with Operator and Value for each Parameter Default for Application-ID and Command Code: -Select-
Action	The action that happens if the diameter message matches the conditions set in the peer routing rule: Route to Peer routes a message to a peer node using the Route List associated with this rule. Send Answer abandons message routing and sends an answer response containing the required result-code value to associated with this rule. Abandon With No Answer discards the message routing and no answer is sent to the associated peer. Note: The answer is sent to any applications that requested an answer receive. Forward To Peer Route Table forwards the message to the specified peer route table.	Format: options Range: Route to Peer, Send Answer, Abandon With No Answer, or Forward To Peer Route Table Default: Route to Peer

The route list entries on the view page are links to the Diameter > Configuration > Route Lists [Filtered] page for the selected entry.

Answer Result-Code Value	The answer code associated with this rule. A diameter answer code is required if the action is set to send Answer.	Format: options Range: List of the available diameter answer codes numeric 4 digit value Range: 1000 - 5999 Default: NA
Vendor ID	The Vendor ID to place in the vendor ID AVP of the answer message.	Format: numeric Range: 0 - 4294967295
Answer Error Message	Value returned in the Error-Message AVP of the answer message.	Format: text box Range: 0 - 64 characters Default: Null string

* Peer Route Table	Peer route table associated with this rule.	View-only
