The PF Servers Table enables viewing the parameters of Policy Function servers, editing the parameters of an existing server, adding a new server or deleting a server from the database of the device. The database can contain up to 10 PF servers.
For each entry, the following parameters are available:
Parameter |
Description |
Server IP Address |
The IP address of the Policy Function server. The IP address of an existing server cannot be modified. |
UDP Port |
The UDP port number used by the Policy Function server for receiving messages from the Micro Base Station. Valid values: 1 to 65535. |
Shared Secret |
Shared Secret is the key used for encrypting the user's credentials in the messages between the Micro Base Station and the Policy Function. For security reasons, the Shared Secret is displayed as a series of dots., and when defining it for the first time or updating it, the user is prompted to re-enter the new Shared Secret for confirmation. The Shared Secret comprises a string of 1 to 16 printable characters. |
Retype Shared Secret |
When either defining the Shared Secret for the first time or updating it, the user must re-enter the new Shared Secret for confirmation. |
Adopt Data Port |
The IP interface defined for communication with the server may be on a different subnet then the one defined for the Data port for data and management purposes. Double click on the entry to open the drop-down menu. The options are Yes and No. If Yes is selected then relevant interface parameters are not configurable and will be adopted from Data port configuration: VLAN ID = Data Port Management VLAN ID Domain IP Address = Data Port IP Address Domain Subnet Mask = Data Port Subnet Mask Domain Gateway = Data Port Gateway If No is selected, these parameters must be configured. In this case the IP parameters defined for the interface must be on a subnet that is unique in the device |
VLAN ID |
Configurable only if Adopt Data Port is set to No. The VLAN ID to be used for communication with the server. Available values for VLAN are 0 to 4094. Enter either null or 4095 for No VLAN ID. 4095 will be displayed fo No VLAN ID |
Domain IP Address |
Configurable only if Adopt Data Port is set to No. The interface IP address to be used for communication with the server. |
Domain Subnet Mask |
Configurable only if Adopt Data Port is set to No. The subnet mask to be used with the interface IP address for communication with the server. |
Domain Gateway |
Configurable only if Adopt Data Port is set to No. The default gateway IP address to be used for communication with the server. |
