> CSCF Peer Servers Configuration Mode Commands
> The CSCF Peer Servers Configuration Mode is used to configure peer servers (for next-hop session routes) within the system.
> Important: The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).
> end
> Exits the current mode and returns to the Exec Mode.
> Product
> All
> Privilege
> Administrator
> Syntax
> end
> Usage
> Change the mode back to the Exec mode.
> exit
> Exits the current mode and returns to the previous mode.
> Product
> All

> Usage
> Return to the previous mode.
> hunting-method
> Configures the method by which servers in this group are contacted.

> Administrator
> Syntax
> hunting-method { round-robin | sequence-on-failure | weighed }
> default hunting-method
> round-robin | sequence-on-failure | weighed
> Specifies the hunting method for the servers in this group.
> round-robin: Specifies that the servers will be used in round-robin fashion. This is the default setting.
> sequence-on-failure: Specifies that the servers will be used sequentially if a failure occurs on a server (i.e., first peer server is always used, except on failure, during which next peer server in the list will be used).
> weighed: Specifies that the peer servers in this group have a set “weight” that determines use as compared to the other like-configured peer servers. The actual weight of the peer server is configured in the server command in this mode.
> default
> Specifies that the servers will be used in round-robin fashion.
> Usage
> Use this command to configure the method that is used by the system to connect to servers in this group.
> Example
> The following command sets the hunting method for servers in this group to contact sequentially only when a server fails:
> hunting-method sequence-on-failure
> server
> Configures the name, IP address, and port of servers belonging to this group and enters the Server Configuration Mode.
> Product
> SCM
> Privilege
> Administrator
> Syntax
> server name { address ip_address | domain domain_name } [ port number ] [ transport { tcp | udp } ] [ weight number ]
> no server name
> name
> Specifies a name for the server. name must be from 1 to 79 alpha and/or numeric characters in length.
> address ip_address
> Specifies the IP address of the server. ip_address is expressed in dotted decimal notation for IPv4 or colon notation for IPv6.
> domain domain_name
> Specifies the domain name of the peer server. domain_name must be from 1 to 255 alpha and/or numeric characters in length.
> port number
> Specifies the port number of the server.
> number must be an integer value from 1 to 65535.
> transport { tcp | udp }
> Specifies the transport type (TCP or UDP).
> weight number
> Default: 5
> Specifies a weighted number for the specific peer server for load balancing purposes. number must be an integer value from 1 to 10. Higher weight implies larger server capability (and more routed requests).
> Important: This keyword is only valid if the weighed keyword is applied to the hunting-method command in this mode.
> no server name
> Removes the specified server from the group.
> Usage
> Use this command to configure servers belonging to this group and enter the Server Configuration Mode.
> Entering this command results in the following prompt:
> [context_name]hostname(config-server_name-peer-server)#
> Server Configuration Mode commands are defined in the CSCF Peer Server Monitoring Configuration Mode Commands chapter.
> Example
> The following command configures a server named scscf5 with an IP address of 1.2.3.4 and a port number of 5060:
> server scscf5 address 1.2.3.4 port 5060
