SS7 Routing Domain
Configuration Mode Commands
The SS7 Routing Domain
configuration mode is used to configure Signaling System 7 (SS7)
parameters. For convenience in configuration management, all SS7
parameters have been collected into a proprietary grouping called
an SS7 routing domains.
[local]hostname(config-ss7-routing-domain-<ss7rd_id>)#
IMPORTANT:
The commands or keywords/variables
that are available are dependent on platform type, product version,
and installed license(s).
asp
This command creates
or removes an M3UA Application Server Process (ASP) instance and
enters the ASP configuration mode. See the SGSN ASP Configuration Mode chapter
in the Command Line
Interface Reference for command details.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
asp instance asp_instno asp instance asp_instdefault asp instance asp_inst end-point port
no
Deletes the ASP instance
for the SS7 routing domain configuration.
default
Sets the ASP instance
parameters to the end-point port value of 2905.
instance asp_inst
Identifies a specific
ASP configuration. Up to four ASP instances can be configured for
a single SS7 routing domain.
asp_inst :
Must be an integer from 1 through 4.
Usage:
Use this command to
create an ASP instance or enter the ASP configuration mode.
Example:
The following command
enters the ASP configuration mode for a specific ASP.
asp instance 1
description
This command defines
an alphanumeric string that describes the current SS7 routing domain.
This is used for operator reference only.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
description stringno description
no
Removes the description
string from the current SS7 routing domain configuration.
string
Specifies the alphanumeric
string that is stored. Strings with spaces must be enclosed in double-quotes
(see the example below).
string: Must
be from 1 to 255 alphanumeric characters.
Usage:
Use this command to
set a description for reference by operators.
Example:
The following command
sets the description to identify a routing domain for messages transmitted
within a national boundary.
description “National Service
Routing Domain”
end
Exits the current
configuration mode and returns to the Exec mode.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Usage:
Use this command to
return to the Exec mode.
exit
Exits the current
mode and returns to the parent configuration mode.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Usage:
Use this command to
return to the parent configuration mode.
inbound-asp-identifier
validate
This command enables
validation of ASP identifiers inbound to the SGSN via routes defined
with this SS7 routing domain.
IMPORTANT:
This command is only
available in Release 8.1 and higher releases.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
inbound-asp-identifier
validate default inbound-asp-identifier
validate no inbound-asp-identifier
validate
default
Validates the inbound
ASP Id.
no
Disables validation
of the inbound ASP Id.
Usage:
The standard is to
validate the ASP Id. However, in some circumstances it is necessary
to skip such validation. For example, if the same ASP Id is assigned
to more than one RNC (peer-server).
Example:
Use the following
command to skip validation of inbound ASP Ids:
no inbound-asp-identifier
validate
Use either of the
following commands to enable validation if it has been disabled:
default inbound-asp-identifier validate
inbound-asp-identifier validate
linkset
This command creates
an instance of an MTP3 linkset and enters the Linkset configuration
mode. See the Linkset configuration mode chapter for the commands
to configure the linkset.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
linkset id idno linkset id id
no
Removes the identified
linkset definition from the system configuration.
id
This value uniquely
identifies a linkset for the specific SS7 routing domain.
id : Must
be an integer of 1 to 49.
Usage:
This command creates
instances of linkset configurations and provides access to the linkset
configuration mode.
Example:
Use the following
command to create the 12th linkset:
linkset id 12
MTU-size
This command has been
deprecated.
peer-server
This command creates
a peer-server instance to setup a SIGTRAN peer for sending and receiving
M3UA traffic. Completing the command automatically enters the peer- server
configuration mode. To define 1 or more (up to 145) peer servers,
use the commands documented in the Peer-Server Configuration
Mode chapter in this reference.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
peer-server id srvr_id
no peer-server id srvr_id
no
Removes the identified
peer-server definition from the system configuration.
srvr_id
srvr_id uniquely
identifies a peer-server. The id must be an integer from 1 to 144.
Usage:
Use the following command
to create a definition for peer-server 2 and enter the configuration
mode to configure the communication parameters for peer-server 12.
route
This command configures
SS7 routes for the current SS7 routing domain.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
route destination-point-code
dp_code { linkset
id id [ priority pri_value ] | peer-server-id srvr_id }
no route destination-point-code dp_code { linkset
id id | peer-server-id srvr_id }
no
Removes the SS7 route
from the current SS7 routing domain configuration.
destination-point-code dp_code
Specifies the SS7
destination point code for this route.
Reminder: the point-code
structure must match the variant defined for the SS7 routing domain
when the SS7RD was configured in the global configuration mode.
linkset id id
This keyword identifies
a linkset instance, created and configured with the linkset command.
This keyword identifies
a linkset instance, created and configured with the linkset command.
id : Must
be an integer from 1 to 49.
peer-server-id srvr_id
This keyword identifies
a peer-server configuration instance, created and configured with the peer-server command.
srvr_id must
be an integer from 1 to 49.
Usage:
This command associates
the previoiusly configured linksets and peer servers and the destination
point codes with a specified SS7 route.
Example:
Define a route setting
an ITU-type destination point-code address for the linkset Id 12:
route destination-point-code 6.211.6 linkset id 12
routing-context
Identifies the routing
context for this SS7 routing domain.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
routing-context valuedefault routing-context
default
Resets the local routing
context value to the index (instance ID) for this SS7 routing domain.
value
An integer that uniquely
identifies the routing context for this SS7 routing domain.
value : Must
be integers from 1 to 65535 (for releases 8.0) or 1 to 4294967295
(for releases 8.1 and higher) .
Usage:
Use this command to
set the routing context IDs for a specific SS7 routing domain configuration.
ssf
This command sets the
network indicator in the subservice field for SS7 message signal
units (MSUs).
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
ssf ( international | national | reserved | spare }
international
The network indicator
identifies the message as international with a point code structure
that does not match the national point code structure,
national
The network indicator
identifies the messages as having a national point code structure.
reserved
Provides an alternate
network indicator for national messages.
spare
Provides an alternate
network indicator for international messages.
Usage:
In SS7 signaling, the
Message Transfer Part (MTP) Level 2 message signal units (MSUs) contain
a service information octet (SIO). The SIO field in an MSU contains
a 4-bit subservice field (SSF) followed by a 4-bit service indicator.
The indicator carried in the message’s routing information
typically identifies the structure of the point code as a message
from within a nation or as a message coming from outside the nation
- international. As well, the 4-bit SSF determines the point code
structure of the messages transmitted from the SGSN.
Example:
For messages being
transmitted within a country, set the indicator to national with
the following command.
ssf national
