Path Topology Hiding Configuration Sets

Path Topology Hiding Configuration Sets provide information that is used to perform Path Topology Hiding for Protected Networks. Each Protected Network can reference a single Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set.

The fields are described in Diameter Topology Hiding Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set elements.

Each Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set contains the following information:

• Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set Name – Unique name for this Configuration Set.
• Hostname Suffixes – List of Hostname suffixes that are used to identify the Protected Network's host name that must be hidden in Route-Record, Proxy-Host, and Error-Reporting-Host AVPs.
• Route-Record Pseudo Hostname – Pseudo-host name to be used when replacing Route-Record headers.
• Proxy-Host Pseudo Hostname – Proxy-Host Pseudo Hostname is used while replacing the host name in the Proxy-Host AVP.
• Encryption Key – Encryption key used for Error-Reporting-Host obscuring.

On the Diameter > Configuration > Topology Hiding > Path Topology Hiding Configuration Sets page, you can perform the following actions:

• Filter the list of Path Topology Hiding Configuration Sets to display only the desired Path Topology Hiding Configuration Sets.
• Sort the list by column contents, in ascending or descending order (except Hostname Suffixes), by clicking the column heading. The default order is by Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set Name in ascending ASCII order.
• In the Hostname Suffixes column,
  • Click the + sign to the left of the number of Hostname Suffixes to expand the list of Hostname Suffixes for the Configuration Set.
  • Click the - sign to the left of the number of Hostname Suffixes to collapse the list of Hostname Suffixes for the Configuration Set.
• Click Insert.

  You can add a new Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set and its elements. See Adding a Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set.

  If the maximum number of Path Topology Hiding Configuration Sets per Network Element (500) already exist in the system, then the Diameter > Configuration > Topology Hiding > Path Topology Hiding Configuration Sets [Insert] page does not open and an error message is displayed.

• Select a Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set Name in the list and click Edit.

  You can edit the selected Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set. See Editing a Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set.

  If at least one Protected Network references the Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set, then the Diameter > Configuration > Topology Hiding > Path Topology Hiding Configuration Sets [Edit] page does not open.

• Select a Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set Name in the list and click Delete to remove the selected Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set. See Deleting a Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set.

  If at least one Protected Network references the selected Path Topology Hiding Configuration Set, then the Configuration Set is not deleted.
