F5DiameterAvp¶

Overview¶

The F5DiameterAvp Custom Resource (CR) is used to define metadata for a Diameter Attribute-Value Pair (AVP) so it can be referenced and interpreted correctly by F5 BIG-IP / F5 CNE Diameter-related features. The resource lets you describe the AVP’s data type, AVP code, and (optionally) vendor and grouping details.

Parameters¶

metadata¶

Parameter	Description
`name`	The unique name identifying the resource (Kubernetes object name).
`namespace`	The Kubernetes namespace in which the resource is created.

spec¶

The CR spec parameters used for defining a Diameter AVP are:

Parameter	Description	Default
`dataType`	Specifies the data type of the Diameter AVP. Depending on the AVP type, the corresponding datatype should be configured. Valid values: `octetstring`, `grouped`, `unsignedinteger32`, `unsignedinteger64`, `address`, `rattype`.	Required
`avpCode`	Specifies the AVP-code of the Diameter AVP as per RFC. Valid range: `1` to `65535`.	Required
`avpLength`	Specifies the expected length of the Diameter AVP value. This must be configured according to `dataType`. Valid range: `0` to `255`.	`0`
`parentAvp`	Specifies the name of the parent AVP, if this AVP is contained within a grouped AVP. Allowed characters: Only alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-z, A-Z), periods (.), underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed. Max length: `255`.	`""`
`vendorId`	Specifies vendor ID if the AVP is a vendor-specific attribute. Valid range: `0` to `65535`.	`0`

Sample CR¶

apiVersion: k8s.f5net.com/v1
kind: F5DiameterAvp
metadata:
  name: session-id-avp
  namespace: f5-bnk
spec:
  dataType: octetstring
  avpCode: 263
  avpLength: 0
  vendorId: 0
  parentAvp: ""

Sample vendor-specific AVP¶

apiVersion: k8s.f5net.com/v1
kind: F5DiameterAvp
metadata:
  name: vendor-example-avp
  namespace: f5-bnk
spec:
  dataType: unsignedinteger32
  avpCode: 1
  vendorId: 10415

Sample child AVP inside a grouped AVP¶

apiVersion: k8s.f5net.com/v1
kind: F5DiameterAvp
metadata:
  name: subscription-data-child-avp
  namespace: f5-bnk
spec:
  dataType: octetstring
  avpCode: 1234
  parentAvp: subscription-data-grouped-avp

Create and apply F5DiameterAvp CR¶

Copy one of the sample CRs into a YAML <diameter-avp.yaml> file.
Apply the F5DiameterAvp CR:
```
kubectl create -f diameter-avp.yaml
```

Verify the resource:

kubectl get -f diameter-avp.yaml -n <namespace>

(Optional) View details (including any status/conditions if exposed by the controller):
```
kubectl describe -f diameter-avp.yaml -n <namespace>
```
