After you complete the installation, you should verify that the Diameter Enabler is
able to connect with other Diameter peers. Diameter peers include the Charging Collection Function (CCF), Online Charging System (OCS), Home Subscriber Server (HSS),
and agents.
- Verify the TCP listener port is active by typing the following
command:
You should see a list of active listening ports, including
3868, the default listening port for Diameter Enabler base.
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3868 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
- Verify the connection is established between the Diameter peer
and the Diameter Enabler base by
reissuing the netstat command.
When
the Diameter Enabler base initiates
a connection with a Diameter peer, you will see the following result:
tcp 1 0 9.42.125.21:32861 209.132.177.100:3868 ESTABLISHED
Where:
- 9.42.125.21 represents the IP address of the Diameter Enabler base
- 32861 represents the ephemeral source port from theDiameter Enabler base,
which will remain the same as long as the connection is active. If configurable
source port is enabled, then it will show that port number instead.
- 209.132.177.100 represents the IP address of the Diameter
peer
- 3868 represents the listener port of the Diameter peer
When the Diameter peer initiates a connection with Diameter Enabler base, you will see the following result:
tcp 1 0 9.42.125.21:3868 209.132.177.100:43125 ESTABLISHED
Where:
- 9.42.125.21 represents the IP address of the Diameter Enabler base
- 3868 represents the listener port of the Diameter Enabler base
- 209.132.177.100 represents the IP address of the Diameter
peer
- 43125 represents the ephemeral source port from the
Diameter peer, which will remain the same as long as the connection is active
