SCCP Routing Policy Configuration

You can use configuration parameters in create_config.py to define Network Enabler configuration for Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP) routing policy.

Policy Fields A comma-separated list of up to 16 fields to match from the SCCP called or calling party address. Prefix calling party fields with 'o_'. Valid values are:
  • ai and o_ai — Address indicator.
  • ri and o_ri — Routing indicator.
  • ssn and o_ssn — Subsystem number.
  • pc and o_pc — Point Code.
  • gti and o_gti — Global title indicator.
  • tt and o_tt — Translation type in the global title.
  • np and o_np — Numbering plan in the global title.
  • noa and o_noa — Nature of address in the global title.

create_config.info question: Network Enabler Policy Rule 1: What are the fields to match?

ssn
Field Value The value to match for the specified policy field when applying this rule. Defaults to -1 (a match occurs when the specified field is not present in the called or calling party address).

create_config.info question: Network Enabler Policy Rule 1: What is the field value to match?

146
Policy Name The name of the policy that this rule belongs to. Messages that match a rule belonging to a named policy use only routes assigned to that policy.

Route Policy The name of the policy that this route uses for outgoing SCCP messages. Valid values are:
  • * — The route is valid for all policies.
  • Policy_Name — The route is valid for the policy with this name.
Press enter for routes that apply to messages for which there is no matching policy.

This question is asked per route.
