WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector, Version 6.2

Verifying the connection

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.

  1. Verify the TCP listener port is active by typing the following command:
    • netstat -na
    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
  2. 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
