# Peer-Server Configuration Mode Commands

The Peer-Server configuration mode provides the commands to define and manage the peer server configuration part of the SS7 routing on an SGSN.
In this mode, the prompt line usually appears similar to:

    [local]hostname(config-ss7-rd-<ss7rd_id>-ps-id-<ps_id>)#

IMPORTANT:

The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).

Syntax

    mode ( loadshare | standby )

loadshare

Sets the peer-server to load share. This is the default.
standby

Sets the peer-server to be in standby mode.
Usage:

Configure the operational mode of the peer-server.
Example:
Configure the peer-server for standby mode.

    mode standby

name

Defines the unique identification - the name - of the peer-server in the SS7 routing domain.

Syntax

    name nameno name

no

Removes the peer server’s name from this configuration instance.
name

name: Must be a string of 1 to 64 alphanumeric characters to define a unique identification for the peer-server within the specific SS7 routing domain. Double quotes must be used to create a name that includes spaces.
Usage:

Create peer server names that are easy to remember and uniquely identify the PSP.

Example

Example
Use this command to create an easily remembered alphanumeric name for the peer-server:

    name “Berlin West”

psp

Creates the peer-server-process (PSP) instance and enters the PSP configuration mode. See the PSP Configuration Mode chapter in this guide for information on the configuration commands.

IMPORTANT:

This command configures a mandatory parameter in the configuration of the peer server.

Syntax

    [ no ] psp
    instance id

no

Removes the PSP instance from the peer server configuration.
id

id Uniquely identifies the specific peer-server-process configuration. The Id must be an integer from 1 to 4.
Usage:

Use this command to define the peer-server-process (PSP) instance ID number for the SGSN configuration.

Example

Example
Use this command to create instance #3 for the PSP configuration:

    psp instance 3

routing-context

Defines the ID of the routing context for the peer-server to use.

IMPORTANT:

This command configures a mandatory parameter in the configuration of the peer server.

id

id Uniquely identifies a specific routing context for the peer-server-process to use. The Id must be an integer from 1 to 65535.
no

Removes the routing-context definition from the peer server configuration.
Usage:

Use this command to define routing contexts for the peer server.

Example

Example
Define routing-context instance 15:

    routing-context 15

self-point-code

This command defines the point-code to identify the SGSN as a peer server.

    self-point-code point-codeno self-point-code

point-code
Point-code is an SS7-type address for an element in the SS7 network. Point-codes must be defined in dotted-decimal format in a string of 1 to 11 digits. Options include:

- 0.0.1 to 7.255.7 for point-code in the ITU range.
- 0.0.1 to 255.255.255 for point-code in the ANSI range.
- 0.0.1 to 15.31.255 for point-code in the TTC Range.
- a string of 1 to 11 digits in dotted-decimal to represent a point-code in a different range.

no

Removes the self-point-code configuration for this linkset in the peer server.

IMPORTANT:

Removing the self-point-code will result in the termination of all traffic on this link.
Usage:

Use this command to define the point-code to identify the SGSN.

Example

Example
Use the following command to remove the self-point-code definition from the peer-server configuration:

    no self-point-code
