To edit your SCTP configuration: 1- Select **SCTP** from the navigation panel ![CreateSctp 0](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/f/fa/CreateSctp_0.png) 2- Configure the SCTP service * Make sure the box labeled **Enabled** is **checked** * Enter a **name** for the SCTP service * Select an appropriate **service type**: * [RAW\_IP](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/sip-and-voip/ip-network/raw-ip) * [UDP](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/sip-and-voip/ip-network/udp-ip) * Click **Create** ![CreateSctp 1](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/a/a3/CreateSctp_1.png) 3- Verify that the **"Sctp Cfg was successfully created"** message appears ![CreateSctp 2](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/b/b9/CreateSctp_2.png) **Path** ``` /configurations/@[configuration_name]/hardware_units/@[hardware_name]/sctp_stacks/@[sctp_stack] ``` **Parameters (text)** ``` /configurations/@[configuration_name]/hardware_units/@[hardware_name]/sctp_stacks/@[sctp_stack] enabled = false name = "@[sctp_stack]" sctp_service_type = "RAW_IP" udp_tunneling_port = 9899 /configurations/@[configuration_name]/hardware_units/@[hardware_name]/sctp_stacks/@[sctp_stack]/advanced_parameters accept_add_life_time = true domain_name = "" initial_window_space = 32768 max_asso_retransmits = 3 max_init_retransmits = 8 max_path_retransmits = 2 md5_expiry_timer = "5 seconds" mtu_size = 1024 send_init_with_ip = false send_shutdown = false use_adler32_checksum = false /configurations/@[configuration_name]/hardware_units/@[hardware_name]/sctp_stacks/@[sctp_stack]/dns_cfg address = "" dns_port = 53 enabled = false max_query_retry = 3 query_timer = "20 seconds" ``` **Parameters (json)** ``` { "advanced_parameters" : { "accept_add_life_time" : true, "domain_name" : "", "initial_window_space" : 32768, "max_asso_retransmits" : 3, "max_init_retransmits" : 8, "max_path_retransmits" : 2, "md5_expiry_timer" : "5 seconds", "mtu_size" : 1024, "send_init_with_ip" : false, "send_shutdown" : false, "use_adler32_checksum" : false }, "dns_cfg" : { "address" : "", "dns_port" : 53, "enabled" : false, "max_query_retry" : 3, "query_timer" : "20 seconds" }, "enabled" : false, "name" : "@[sctp_stack]", "sctp_service_type" : "RAW_IP", "udp_tunneling_port" : 9899 } ``` ### List of Parameter * [Name](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#n) * [Service Type](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#s) **DNS Parameters** * [Enabled](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/sip#e) * [DNS Port](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/server-dns-port) * [Query Timer](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#q) * [Max Query Retry](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#q) * [Server Address](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#s) **Advanced Parameters** * [Send SHUTDOWN before rebooting](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#s) * [Send INIT with IP address parameter](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#s) * [Use adler32 checksum](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#u) * [Initial window space](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#i) * [MTU size](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#m) * [Max INIT retransmissions](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#m) * [Max ASSO retransmissions](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#m) * [Max PATH retransmissions](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#m) * [Life time of MD5 keys](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#l) * [Accept additional lifetime](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#a) * [Domain name](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/sip#d) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/configuration/web-portal-3-3/protocol-stack/ss7-isup/creating-the-sctp-configuration.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
