Vendors

The vendors file contains a list of zero or more vendor entries. Each vendor entry contains a vendor name and vendor number. The vendor numbers are SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Code numbers, as managed by IANA. Each entry optionally contains an interim way of mapping external (with respect to the Diameter server) attribute numbers to internal (with respect to the Diameter server) vendor-specific attributes. This optional mapping is used on Diameter requests and responses.

	IMPORTANT: Configuration files have a maximum input line length of 255 characters. All configuration files must end with a new line.

You can track different versions of the vendors file by adding the following line to the file:
%VENDORSID Version-String
