Syntax
dynamic-peer-discovery [ protocol { sctp | tcp } ]
{ default | no } dynamic-peer-discovery
default
Configures this command with the default setting.
Default: disabled
Default: disabled
no
Removes the configuration.
protocol { sctp | tcp }
Configures peer discovery to use a specific protocol. Default: TCP
sctp
: Uses Streaming Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) for peer discovery.
tcp
: Uses Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for peer discovery.
Usage
Use this command to configure the system to dynamically locate peer Diameter servers by means of DNS.
Configure the

dynamic-peer-realm
command to locate Diameter servers using Naming Authority Pointer
(NAPTR) queries. If the peer realm command is not configured, configuring this command will still allow
applications to trigger an NAPTR query on their chosen realms.
The preferred transport protocol is TCP to resolve instances were multiple NAPTR responses with the same
priority are received. The one using the TCP transport protocol will be chosen. If the transport protocol is
configured through the CLI, then the configured protocol is given preference.
The IP address version will be the same as that of the origin host address configured for the endpoint. For
IPv4 endpoints, A-type DNS queries will be sent to resolve Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs). For
IPv6 endpoints, AAAA-type queries are sent.
