Table 4-2 Diameter Node General Configuration Properties
Property Name Description
Name Enter the an administrative name for this Diameter node configuration.
Host Enter the host identity of this Diameter node, or leave the field blank to automatically
assign the host name of the target engine tier server as the Diameter node’s host
identity. Note that the host identity may or may not match the DNS name.
When configuring Diameter support for multiple Sh client nodes, it is best to omit the
host element from the diameter.xml file. This enables you to deploy the same
Diameter Web Application to all servers in the engine tier cluster, and the host name
is dynamically obtained for each server instance.
Realm
Enter the realm name for which this node has responsibility, or leave the field blank
to use the domain name portion of the target engine tier server’s fully-qualified host
name ( for example, [email protected]).
You can run multiple Diameter nodes on a single host using different realms
and listen port numbers.
Note:
Address
Enter the listen address for this Diameter node, using either the DNS name or
IP address, or leave the field blank to use the host identity as the listen
address.
Note:
TLS
Debug
An HSS, Application Server, and relay agents must all agree on a
realm name or names. The realm name for the HSS and Application
Server need not match.
The host identity may or may not match the DNS name of the Diameter node.
BEA recommends configuring the Address property with an explicit DNS
name or IP address to avoid configuration errors.
Select this option if the Diameter node us configured with support for TLS (diameters
network channels). This field is used to advertise TLS capabilities when the node is
interrogated by another Diameter node.
Select this option if you want to enable debug message output. Debug messages are
disabled by default.
Message Debug
Select this option if you want to enable tracing for Diameter messages processed by
this node. Message tracing is disabled by default.
