This command associates a text string with a configuration context to help identify the content in the configuration file.

The no form of this command removes the description from the configuration.

Parameters

long-description-string
Specifies the description string, up to 80 characters, composed of printable, 7-bit ASCII characters. If the string contains special characters (#, $, spaces, and so on), the entire string must be enclosed within double quotes.

node-id

Syntax

  • [no] node-id node-id

Context

  • [Tree] configure mobile-gateway profile pfcp pfcp-association-peer-list node-id

Description

This multi-entry command configures a node ID string of the remote PFCP peer.

bfd-enable

Syntax

  • [no] bfd-enable

Context

  • [Tree] configure mobile-gateway profile pfcp pfcp-association-peer-list node-id bfd-enable

heart-beat

Syntax

  • heart-beat [interval seconds] [retry-count retry-count-value] [timeout timeout-value]
  • no heart-beat

Context

  • [Tree] configure mobile-gateway profile pfcp pfcp-profile heart-beat

Description

This command configures the heartbeat attributes for the PFCP profile. When configured, heartbeats are sent when the PFCP node association has been successfully set up. The gateway sends a heartbeat message at the time specified in the interval keyword. If a PFCP Heartbeat Response is not received within the time specified in the timeout keyword, the gateway retries the timeout wait period, for the number of times specified in the retry-count keyword. If the gateway hears a PFCP Heartbeat Response from the remote end, it aborts the retry procedure and restarts the heartbeat interval timer for this peer. If no response is received before the end of the retry-timeout sequence, the PFCP peer is declared to be down.

The no form of this command turns off heartbeats and only responds to heartbeat requests received from the remote peer.

Parameters

seconds
specifies the heartbeat message interval
Values: 60 to 180
Default: 60
retry-count-value
specifies the number of retries
Values: 1 to 15
Default: 4
timeout-value
specifies the timeout interval, in seconds
Values: 1 to 20
Default: 5

ip-ttl

Syntax

  • ip-ttl ip-ttl-value
  • no ip-ttl

Context

  • [Tree] configure mobile-gateway profile pfcp pfcp-profile message-retransmit

Description

This command configures the PFCP message retransmit timeout and retry count values. The retransmit timeout consists of T1 and N1 values. T1 is the time period that the PFCP waits before re-attempting the request message if there is no response to an initial request message. T1 can be configured either in seconds (timeout) or milliseconds (timeout-msec). N1 is the maximum number of times that the FPCP attempts to send a message. N1 can be configured by specifying the value of the retry-count keyword.

Parameters

timeout
specifies the time that the PFCP waits before resending a message if there is no response to an initial message, in seconds
Values: 1 to 30
Default: 5
timeout-msec
specifies the time that the PFCP waits before resending a message if there is no response to an initial message, in milliseconds
Values: 1000 to 3000 (increments of 100)
Default: 5000
Note: You can specify either the timeout or the timeout-msec keywords.
retry-count-value
specifies the number of times the PFCP attempts to send a message
Values: 1 to 8
Default: 3

path-restoration-time

Syntax

  • path-restoration-time minutes
  • no path-restoration-time

Context

  • [Tree] configure mobile-gateway profile pfcp pfcp-profile path-restoration-time

Description

This command configures the path restoration time for the PFCP profile. A PFCP path is kept for the configured number of minutes after a path failure is detected. After the time expires, the path is considered down and all related sessions are removed. If the path recovers before the time expires, the system triggers an audit of all sessions related to that path.

The no form of this command disables the restoration time.

Default

no path-restoration-time

Parameters

minutes
specifies the number of minutes a path can wait for the restoration procedures
Values: 5 to 1440
Default: 0

description

Syntax

  • description long-description-string
  • no description

Context

  • [Tree] configure mobile-gateway profile pfcp up-peer-list description

Description

peer

Syntax

  • [no] peer ipv4 | ipv6

Context

  • [Tree] configure mobile-gateway profile pfcp up-peer-list peer

Description

This multi-entry command specifies the IPv4 or the IPv6 address of the user plane peer.

Parameters

ipv4 | ipv6
Specifies the user plane peer’s IP address.
Values:
  • ipv4 – a.b.c.d
  • ipv6 – x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x (eight 16-bit pieces) or x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d

    where

    x – [0..FFFF]H

    d – [0..255]D

apn

Syntax

  • [no] apn apn-name

Context

  • [Tree] configure mobile-gateway profile pfcp up-peer-list peer apn

Description

This multi-entry command specifies the APN names associated with the user plane peer. This is used when selecting an FWA-UP for FWA sessions.

Parameters

apn-name
specifies an APN name, up to 32 characters

upf-selection

Syntax

  • upf-selection {true | false}
  • no upf-selection

Context

  • [Tree] configure mobile-gateway profile pfcp up-peer-list peer upf-selection

Description

This command configures a peer that is defined in the UP peer list to be selectable (upf-selection true) or not selectable (upf-selection false). This enables UPF selection to be suspended, to support on-the-fly configuration of the PFCP association list and UP peer list. When UPF selection is set to false, the CP function does not select the peer for any new FWA sessions, therefor enabling the peer to gracefully drain its existing sessions before it is taken out of service. While in this mode, the CP function continues to handle existing sessions and to run PFCP path management with the peer.

The no form of this command reverts to the default state; UPF selection is true (selectable).

Note:
  • The default state for the UPF selection of a new peer depends on the method used to add the peer to the UP peer list:
    1. If using CLI configuration through a console, UPF selection of a new peer is automatically false. This ensures that the peer is not selected for new PDN/PDU sessions until it has been fully added and is ready to be selected.
    2. If executing the admin save config file without UPF selection configured in it, UPF selection is automatically allowed (true).
  • Changing the UPF selection is only allowed for existing peers. You must not add a new peer and set the UP selection in the same command execution (in a single line). Changing the UPF selection state is permitted after the peer has been added.

Default

no upf-selection
