SCCP Network Configuration Mode Commands

Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP) is a routing protocol in the SS7 protocol suite in layer 4, which provides end-to-end routing for TCAP messages to their proper database.

Mode

The SCCP Network Configuration Mode is used to configure properties for Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP) services for SS7.

Exec > Global Configuration > SCCP Network Configuration

configure > sccp-network id_number

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(config-sccp-network-sccp_id)#

Important

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

associate

  • ITU96

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure the destination information for the SCCP network.

Example

The following commands set the name of the destination route to default_route, the subsystem number to 1, and the variant version to ITU96, all with a destination point code of 1: 
destination dpc 1 name default_route 
destination dpc 1 ssn 1 
destination dpc version ITU96

do show

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.
