Syntax
sctp bind { address address | port port_num }
[ default | no ] sctp bind { address | port }
default
Sets the SCTP port to default value of 600 to communicate with the Home-NodeB using Iuh interface.
address address
Specifies the IP address of HNB-GW in IPv4 or IPv6 notation for the interface configured as Iuh interface to connect with Home-NodeB.
address must be an IP address in IPv4 or IPv6 notation.
port port_num
Specifies the SCTP port number to communicate with the Home-NodeBs using Iuh interface.
port_num must be an integer between 1 through 65535.
Usage
Use this command to assign the SCTP IP address and port with SCTP socket on HNB-GW to communicate with the Home-NodeB using Iuh interface. This SCTP configuration provides the IP-address and listen port where HNB-GW service shall bind to listen for incoming SCTP associations from HNB.
Example
The following command sets the SCTP port number 999 on HNB-GW to listen from Home-NodeB over Iuh interface:
sctp bind port 999
The following command sets the SCTP address 1.2.3.4 of HNB-GW to use with Home-NodeB over Iuh interface:

sctp connection-timeout
This command configures the SCTP connection timeout duration in seconds to explicitly remove the SCTP association with not responding HNB from an HNB-GW service.
Product
HNB-GW
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
sctp connection-timeout dur
[ default | no ] sctp connection-timeout
no
Disables the connection time out configuration on HNB-GW service.
default
Restores the connection timeout duration value to its default value of 10 seconds.
dur
Default: 10 seconds.
Sets the connection timeout duration in seconds after which the association is explicitly removed. In case of an HNB de-registration scenario, the HNB-GW waits for configured amount time before initiating the procedure to clear the SCTP association.
dur is measured in seconds and can be configured to any integer value from 5 to 30.
Usage
Use this command to configure the minimum duration value before removing the SCTP association between a non-responding HNB and HNB-GW. If HNB registration not happened within the configured period after the SCTP association is established then the SCTP association is explicitly removed. In a scenario where an HNB de-registered due to any reason, the HNB-GW waits for the configured amount of time before initiating the procedure to clear the SCTP association.
Example
The following command sets the SCTP connection timeout duration to 15 second on HNB-GW after expiry of which the SCTP association is removed:
sctp connection-timeout 15
 
sctp heart-beat-timeout
This command configures the SCTP heartbeat timer parameters for SCTP connection over IuH interface in an HNB-GW service instance.
Product
HNB-GW
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
sctp heart-beat-timeout dur
[ default | no ] sctp heart-beat-timeout
no
Disables the heartbeat timer configuration for SCTP over IuH in HNB-GW service instance.
default
Restores the default time out value for heartbeat timer to 30 sec. for SCTP over IuH in HNB-GW service instance.
dur
Default: 30 seconds.
Sets the heartbeat timer timeout duration in seconds after which the next heartbeat command is send to HNB from HNB-GW in SCTP over IuH interface. In case of an HNB de-registration scenario, the HNB-GW waits for configured amount time before initiating the procedure to clear the SCTP association.
dur is measured in seconds and can be configured to any integer value from 1 to 300.
Usage
Use this command to configure the minimum duration value before retransmitting the HEARTBEAT chunk to HNB from HNB-GW in SCTP transmission. By default HNB-GW monitors the reachability of the idle HNBs by sending a HEARTBEAT chunk periodically to the HNB address.
Each time the HEARTBEAT timer expires on any address, or when a HEARTBEAT sent to an idle address is not acknowledged within a Retransmission Timeout duration, the error counter of that HNB incremented.
When the value in the error counter exceeds the protocol parameter for maximum retransmission for that destination address, the HNB-GW mark the destination HNB as inactive and a notification is sent to the upper layer.
Example
The following command sets the SCTP HEARTBEAT timeout duration to 15 second on HNB-GW after expiry of which the HNB-GW retransmits the HEARTBAT chunk to HNB over SCTP association:
sctp heart-beat-timeout 15
