Application

Provisions the Application, Auth-Application and Acct-Application AVPs in messages sent by a node and identifies the Diameter application supported by the node. The Application selection determines which Authentication algorithms display for your selection.

Parameter Class: Basic: Custom Multiple Choice Values:

Tcl Parameter:

• When you select the WiMAX MIP4, the AAA Nodal is only used to simulate HA NAS. You can create another NAS to simulate FA NAS by configuring the application as EAP.

• To configure EAP Authentication and any auth-request-type as part of the same session:

You may select the Wm interface to allow EAP authentication, you can also configure any Auth-request-type as part of the same session (for example, you can configure the NASREQ/NASResponse Auth-request-type via  AVP Configuration).

WiMAX H4 Command Code

WiMAX HA4 Command Code checkbox is only available when the Wimax Mip4 option is selected from the Application dropdown list. Select the checkbox and enter the Command Code of the message type not defined by IANA official codes.

Tcl Parameter: DiaCmdCodeWha4En

State Mode

Select the accounting session mode for a Diameter test.

Options: Stateful or Stateless

Default: Stateful

Tcl Parameter: DiaSrvStateMachine

Account Server TS Time

Available when State Mode is Stateful. Define the accounting session timer. Each session is individually timed, and the timer begins when an ACA is sent in response to an ACR start message. The timer is reset whenever an interim record is received for that session. The timer value should be set to at least twice the expected interim update cycle to avoid unnecessary session termination due to transmission delays. Enter 0 to disable the timer.

Range: 0 — 65535

Default: 0

Tcl Parameter:

Number of APNs

Configure the number of APNs per subscriber when Application is S6b, S6b/STa/SWx, S6b/SWm/SWx ,S6b/SWa/SWx (multiple APN is support for back-to-back testing).

Default: 1

Range: 1  - 11

Tcl Parameter: DiaSrvNumApns

Enable Re-Auth Timer

Available when Application is Swa, SWm, S6b/STa/SWx, S6b/SWm/SWx ,S6b/SWa/SWx, Wa, Wa/Wx or Wa/Wm/Wg/Wx.

Select to either re-authenticate or re-authorize and enter the interval is in seconds.

Default: 20 seconds

Range: 0 - 65535

If the re-auth-type in the RAR is AUTHORIZE_ONLY, LS STa client session sends an AAR message to AAA requesting re-authorization. Then AAA retrieves the subscription profile again (sends/receives SAR/SAA messages over SWx interface ).  

If the re-auth-type in the RAR is AUTHORIZE_AUTHENTICATE, LS STa client session  performs the authentication procedure.

Re-Auth Interval:

Enter the Re-Auth Interval in seconds. Enter value to simulate delay at the PGW to start S6b re-authorization/re-authentication procedure.

When re-authorization or re-authentication timer expires, AAA Node sends RAR message with appropriate re-auth-type over STa interface.

RAT Type

Select the RAT (Radio Access Technology) to indicate the access network type.

Options: WLAN, VIRTUAL, CDMA2000_1X, HRPD, UMB and EHRPD.

Default: EHRPD

Tcl Parameter: DiaSrvRatType

User Name and Password

When you set Application as NASREQ or WiMAX MIPv4, authentication can be performed with a password (the Password selection is available).

See User Credentials

EAP Authentication

Use to configure EAP authentication support for a virtual server. You can configure the methods that will be supported and the acceptable credentials for each method with the EAP Settings window.

The EAP Authentication Settings button and the associated parameters are available only when the Application value is WiMAX MIPv4 and

Include State AVP

The Include State AVP parameter checkboxes, the Multiround DEA Message and Success DEA Message, are available only during AAA Diameter testing. These become available when EAP Settings is enabled.

Enabling these checkboxes allows the value of the State AVP to be generated in hardcode. This reduces the number of authentication round trips.

• Multiround DEA Message

Value: 0/1

Default: 1=enabled

Tcl Parameter: DiaSrvIncStateAvpInMultiroundDEA

• Success DEA Message

Value: 0/1

Default: 1=enabled

Tcl Parameter: DiaSrvIncStateAvpInSuccessDEA

Include APN OI Replacement

Select to enable . This AVP shall indicate the domain name to replace the APN-OI in the non-roaming case or in the home roaming case when constructing the PDN GW FQDN upon performing a DNS resolution.

Tcl Parameter: DiaSrvApnOIRep

Include Mobile Node Identifier

Present if NBM is used. It contains an AAA/HSS assigned identity.

Tcl Parameter: DiaSrvMobileNodeIdEn

Multiple EAP

Use the checkbox to enable multiple rounds of EAP authentication support for a virtual server as specified in RFC 4739. You can configure the methods that will be supported and the acceptable credentials for each method with the EAP Settings window.

Tcl Parameter: MultEapEn

User Name

See User Credentials

Tcl Parameter: DiaMUsername

Authorization Mode

Select from the Drop Down options to choose WLAN Authorization Mode via WLAN Direct Access or WLAN 3GPP IP Access.

Tcl Parameter: DiaSrvAuthMode

Subscriber ID

In AAA Node test case, you may select one or more identifies and enter the appropriate values, which are incremented for each Mobile Subscriber.

Click to add a Routing Policy tab. You may also select the number of Policies from the list. The number of Routing Policy tabs (Policy n) depends on the value you select in Number of Policies.

Behavior Upon Receiving WAG Initiated Routing Policy Cancellation

WAG Initiated Routing Policy Cancellation is invoked by the WAG if the session specific routing policy has been removed from the WAG and this removal has not been preceded by Routing policy Cancellation Procedure sent from the 3GPP AAA Server to the WAG.

Select the action to perform when a cancellation of routing policy is initiated by WAG:

The 3GPP AAA Server sets the Result-Code to DIAMETER_SUCCESS and sends the ASA command to the WAG.
