Solution 2317974.1 : In Diameter Signaling Router (DSR), New Signaling Network with New IP Addresses Are Not in Pulldown to Configure for New Local Node

Applies to:

Oracle Communications Diameter Signaling Router (DSR) - Version DSR 6.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Do not see IP Addresses of newly added Signaling Networks (XSI) in the pulldown when trying to add a new Local Node through a Site OAM (SOAM) GUI.

Changes

Network was newly added, corresponding new Devices on each MP were also added with new IP addresses via the Network OAM (NOAM) GUI.

Cause

When the new Network was defined, it was associated by the user to a Network Element rather than left Unassigned.

Manually assigning the Network to a specific Network Element causes the Network Type to be automatically set to 'OAM.' This is not a setting visible in the GUI. But if the system sets as 'OAM,' it will not be available for Application (DSR) use.

Solution

Edit each new Device associated with this new Network to remove the IP Address, then Edit the Network to set the Network Element association to "Unassigned."

Alternatively, the new Devices and Networks can be deleted then added back with the "Unassigned" Network Element setting.

The IP Addresses should thereafter be available to use for configuring a new Local Node.

Step-by-Step procedure:

Go to NOAM / Main Menu / Configuration / Network / Devices screen
Select tab for an MP with newly added interface
Select [highlight] the device the select [Edit] button
Select IP Interfaces tab
Record IP Address and Network Name for easy re-use. Select [Remove] button and [Ok]
Repeat (2)-(5) for other MPs with similarly associated interfaces
Go to NOAM / Main Menu / Configuration / Network screen
Select [highlight] the new Network and select [Edit] button
On Edit Network screen, use pulldown to set Network Element to 'Unassigned' and select [Ok]
Go back to NOAM / Main Menu / Configuration / Network / Devices screen
Select tab for an MP with newly added interface
Again select [highlight] the device and select [Edit] button
Select IP Interfaces tab
Select [Add Row] button, provide IP Address for interface and select Network Name from pulldown. Select [Ok]
Repeat (11)-(14) for other MPs with similarly associated interfaces

The new XSI addresses should now be available in the IP Address pulldown of the Local Node configuration screen on the SOAM.
