X2 link failure investigation
› REASON1
Initiating eNodeB unware of the candidate eNodeB’s CP IP
› REASON2
The reachability between initiating/candidate eNodeB with issue
› Basic information
When the initiating eNodeB knows the address of the candidate eNodeB, SCTP connectivity can
be established and the X2 interface can be set up between the eNodeBs.
› Network Requirements
A Domain Name System (DNS) server is available in the network and configured with DNS
resolutions for involved eNodeBs.
› Even the X2 setup failure between LDAR269&LDAR002,but when try to ping from
269 to 002,the IP layer reachability is no problem.
› After discuss with Huawei side,a Huawei MME (USN9810)optional feature “eNodeB
SON Configuration Transfer” not activated,and it can relay the message between the
initiating and candidate eNodeBs,so no “MME Configuration Transfer” response to
eNodeB.
› Hence,even the router reachability is ok,but initiating eNodeB cannot aware the
candidate eNodeB IP,it causes the X2 setup failure.
› The reachability between LDAR269&LDAR043 is not ok,so need to first solve the
transmission IP layer problem.
