Enhanced Features in Cisco Prime Access Registrar 6.0.2
Prime Access Registrar has the following enhancements for 6.0.2:
•
HLR GT Caching
The Home Location Registry (HLR) Global Title address (GT address in calling party address (CgPA)) from the SendAuthenticationInfo (SAI) response is cached and used for subsequent authorization request. This cached HLR GT is added to the environment dictionary of the packet to be available for the authorization flow.
The following environment dictionary variables are added to hold the cached HLR GT:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The cached HLR GT overrides both the configured destination GT values and GT script provided GT values. The HLR GT caching works by default for RTE_GT. The cached HLR GT can be overridden by updating the environment variable HLR-GlobalTitle-Cached to FALSE (or anything other than TRUE) in the GT script.
The HLR GT will not be cached for:
•
•
Support for Parallelization in SIGTRAN / M3UA Remote Servers
Whenever Prime Access Registrar sends a packet to a remote server, it waits for a response from the remote server before sending further packets to the same or other remote servers (as configured). This causes performance impact. Prime Access Registrar 6.0.2 introduces a feature that allows mutiple simultaneous outstanding requests to be sent to the same or other remote servers (as configured).
System Requirements
This section describes the system requirements to install and use the Prime Access Registrar software.
Table 1 lists the system requirements for Prime Access Registrar 6.0.2.
Note
Co-Existence With Other Network Management Applications
To achieve optimal performance, Prime Access Registrar should be the only application running on a given server. In certain cases, when you choose to run collaborative applications such as a SNMP agent, you must configure Prime Access Registrar to avoid UDP port conflicts. The most common conflicts occur when other applications also use ports 2785 and 2786. For more information on SNMP configuration, see the Configuring SNMP section, in the Installing and Configuring Cisco Prime Access Registrar, 6.0.
