Peer-Server Configuration Mode Commands

Mode

The Peer-Server configuration mode provides the commands to define and manage the peer server configuration part of the SS7 routing on an SGSN.

Exec > Global Configuration > SS7 Routing Domain Configuration > Peer-Server Configuration

configure > ss7-routing-domain rd_id variant variant_type > peer-server id server_id

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(config-ss7-rd-ss7rd_id-ps-id-peer-server_id)#

Important

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

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to run all Exec mode show commands while in Configuration mode. It is not necessary to exit the Config mode to run a show command.

The pipe character | is only available if the command is valid in the Exec mode.


Caution

There are some Exec mode show commands which are too resource intensive to run from Config mode. These include: do show support collection , do show support details , do show support record and do show support summary . If there is a restriction on a specific show command, the following error message is displayed: 

Failure: Cannot execute 'do	show support' command from Config mode.

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 Guidelines

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

Examples

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
