2.6 Using Application IDs to Identify Diameter Applications

An Application ID, along with an Application Name, is used to uniquely identify a Diameter application.

You can perform these tasks on an Active System OAM (SOAM).

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) lists standard and vendor-specific Application IDs on the iana.org website. On the website:

• Select Protocol Assignments
• Scroll to locate the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) Parameters heading
• Select Application IDs

The Application ID fields are described in Diameter Application IDs Elements.

On the Diameter, and then Configuration, and then Application IDs page, you can:

• Filter the list of Application IDs to display only the desired Application IDs.

• Click Insert.

  On the Diameter, and then Configuration, and then Application IDs [Insert] page, you can add a new Diameter Configuration Application ID and its values. See Adding an Application ID.

  If the maximum number of Application IDs (1000) already exists in the system, then the Diameter, and then Configuration, and then Application IDs [Insert] page does not display and an error message appears.

• Select an Application ID and click Edit.

  On the Diameter, and then Configuration, and then Application IDs [Edit] page, you can edit the selected Application ID. See Editing an Application ID.

• Select an Application ID and click Delete to delete the selected Application ID. See Deleting an Application ID.
