[Seagull-users] How to define Vendor-ID for a specific AVP field

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hi,

For the Diameter-SCAP (Ericsson) I should define a number of the
protocol-specific AVPs containing specific Vendor-ID (its value is 193).
It is not so clear to me where and how I should define the Vendor-ID. My
questions are as follows.

1. Is it "application-id" field in the "header" element or "Vendor-ID"
field in the "body" element (Or both) that I should define in order to
provide certain Vendor-ID value for the protocol-specific AVPs?

2.Is it enough to define=20
       <setfield name=3D"flags" value=3D"192"></setfield>
(i.e. set 'V' and 'M' bits in the AVP flags field to 1) for some
protocol-specific AVP in order to get Vendor-ID field defined for this
AVP or I should also explicitly define Vendor-ID field (and its value)
for such AVP? If the latter is right, then how I should write the
definition?

At the moment, my definitions in the dictionary are as follows
(excerption).
