Troubleshooting Diameter Network Configuration

Problem

A misconfiguration of the network can prevent Diameter from functioning properly. Configuration options for the Diameter base protocol are simple in the current release, simplifying discovery of a misconfiguration.

The output of the show diameter peer command indicates a peer is in the no-activation state. In this case issue the show diameter peer map and show diameter network-element map commands to determine which network elements use the peer. The output of these commands can indicate why the peer is not activated. For example, all the associated network elements might have higher-priority peers in the open state.

The failed-to-forward counters are increasing in the output of the show diameter function statistics detail command. this can indicate that the routes to the peer are incorrectly configured. Check the network connectivity, then use the show diameter routes command to determine whether application traffic is being correctly forwarded.

Cause

Typical misconfigurations appear in the routes, peers, and network element configurations.

Solution

Use the appropriate statements to correct the misconfiguration.
