Overview

You are in the process of integrating MNP into your system and want to know how to configure GTT rules in SMS-FW.

Solution

GTT rules are defined in a semi-static configuration file.

For example, if CdPa is 123456789 the Translation Type value is 12, you will have to implement the following setting:

If other GTT Rules are configured in the Host config file:

1. Log in to each Traffic node as textpass.
2. Navigate to the following path:
   cd /usr/TextPass/etc
3. Make a backup of the hostname file:
   cp <hostname_config.txt> <hostname_config.txt.16082021>
4. Open the hostname_config file in a text editor:
   vi <hostname_config.txt>
   
5. Add the GTT Rule after the applogeventinterval variable (before trapreceiver):
   

   <gttrule
   inputgtaddressinfo="123456789"
   inputsubsystemnumber="8"
   outputroutingindicator="gt"
   outputgtindicator="4"
   outputgtaddressinfo="123456789"
   outputgttranslationtype="12"/>

6. Save the file: wq!
7. Restart the textpass process : **
   • tp_stop --textpass
   • tp_start --textpass
   • Repeat this on all traffic nodes.

If the other GTT rules are configured in common_config.txt:

1. Log in to MGR node as textpass
2. Navigate to the following path:
   cd /usr/TextPass/etc
3. Make a backup of the config file:
   cp <common_config.txt> <common_config.txt.16082021>
4. Open the common_config file in a text editor:
   vi <common_config.txt>
5. Add the GTT Rule after the applogeventinterval variable (before trapreceiver):
   

   <gttrule
       inputgtaddressinfo="123456789"
       inputsubsystemnumber="8"
       outputroutingindicator="gt"
       outputgtindicator="4"
       outputgtaddressinfo="123456789"
       outputgttranslationtype="12"/>

6. Save the file: wq!
7. On all Traffic nodes run:
   • tp_stop --textpass
   • tp_start --textpass

If there are no GTT rules defined yet in the host config file and from a previous backup of the common_config file there are no gtt rules defined there either, we suggest configuring the GTT Rules in the common_config file on the MGR.
