To enable or disable accounting for a particular access point on the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN), use the aaa-accounting command in access-point configuration mode.

aaa-accounting [enable | disable | interim update]
Syntax Description

enable

(Optional) Enables accounting on the APN. When you configure an access point name (APN) for non-transparent access, this is the default value.

disable

(Optional) Disables accounting on the APN. When you configure an APN for transparent access, this is the default value.

interim update

(Optional) Enables interim accounting records to be sent to an accounting server when a routing area update (resulting in a serving GRPS support node [SGSN] change) or quality of service (QoS) change has occurred.

Defaults

enable—For non-transparent APNs

disable—For transparent APNs

Interim accounting is disabled.

Usage Guidelines

You can configure authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) accounting services at an access point. However, for accounting to occur, you must also complete the configuration by specifying the following other configuration elements on the GGSN:

•Enable AAA services using the aaa new-model global configuration command.

•Define a server group with the IP addresses of the RADIUS servers in that group using the aaa group server global configuration command.

•Configure the following AAA services:

–AAA authentication using the aaa authentication global configuration command

–AAA authorization using the aaa authorization global configuration command

–AAA accounting using the aaa accounting global configuration command

•Assign the type of services that the AAA server group should provide. If you want the server group to only support accounting services, then you need to configure the server for accounting only. You can assign the AAA services to the AAA server groups either at the GGSN global configuration level using the gprs default aaa-group command, or at the APN using the aaa-group command.

•Configure the RADIUS servers using the radius-server host command.

Note For more information about AAA and RADIUS global configuration commands, see the Cisco IOS Security Command Reference.

You can verify whether AAA accounting services are configured at an APN using the show gprs access-point command.

There is not a no form of this command.

Enabling and Disabling Accounting Services for an Access Point

The Cisco Systems GGSN has different defaults for enabling and disabling accounting services for transparent and non-transparent access points:

•If you configure an APN for non-transparent access using the access-mode command, the GGSN automatically enables accounting with authentication at the APN.

•If you configure an APN for transparent access, which is the default access mode, the GGSN automatically disables accounting at the APN.

To selectively disable accounting at specific APNs where you do not want that service, use the aaa-accounting disable access-point configuration command.

Configuring Interim Accounting for an Access Point

Using the aaa-accounting interim access-point configuration command, you can configure the GGSN to send Interim-Update Accounting requests to the AAA server when a routing area update (resulting in an SGSN change) or QoS change has occurred for a PDP context. These changes are conveyed to the GGSN by an Update PDP Context request.

Note Interim accounting support requires that accounting services be enabled for the APN and that the aaa accounting update newinfo global configuration command be configured.

There is not a no form of this command.

Examples

Example 1

The following configuration example disables accounting at access point 1:

interface virtual-template 1
gprs access-point-list abc
!
gprs access-point-list abc
access-point 1
  access-point-name gprs.pdn.com   access-mode non-transparent
  aaa-accounting disable

Example 2

The following configuration example enables accounting on transparent access point 4. Accounting is disabled on access point 5 because it is configured for transparent mode and the aaa-accounting enable command is not explicitly configured.

Accounting is automatically enabled on access point 1 because it has been configured for non-transparent access mode. Accounting is explicitly disabled at access point 3, because accounting is automatically enabled for non-transparent access mode.

Examples of some of the AAA and RADIUS global configuration commands are also shown in the following example:

Usage Guidelines

The AAA server-group feature provides a way to group existing server hosts. The feature enables you to select a subset of the configured server hosts and use them for a particular service.

A server group is a list of server hosts of a particular type. Currently supported server host types are RADIUS server hosts, TACACS+ server hosts, and Diameter server hosts. A server group is used in conjunction with a global server host list. The server group lists the IP addresses of the selected server hosts.

Note Using the aaa group server diameter command you can configure a primary and secondary Diameter credit control applicaiton (DCCA) server. If the transport connection to the primary DCCA server should fail, a connection to the secondary DCCA server in the group will be established.

Examples

The following example shows the configuration of two AAA consisting of DCCA server hosts named dcca-sg1 and dcca-sg2:

aaa group server diameter dcca-sg1
  server dcca1

aaa group server diameter dcca-sg2
  server dcca2

Usage Guidelines

The Cisco GGSN supports authentication and accounting at APNs using AAA server groups. By using AAA server groups, you gain the following benefits:

•You can selectively implement groups of servers for authentication and accounting at different APNs.

•You can configure different server groups for authentication services and accounting services in the same APN.

•You can control which RADIUS services you want to enable at a particular APN, such as AAA accounting.

The GGSN supports the implementation of AAA server groups at both the global and access-point configuration levels. You can minimize your configuration by specifying the configuration that you want to support across most APNs, at the global configuration level. Then, at the access-point configuration level, you can selectively modify the services and server groups that you want to support at a particular APN. Therefore, you can override the AAA server global configuration at the APN configuration level.

To configure a default AAA server group to be used for all APNs on the GGSN, use the gprs default aaa-group global configuration command. To specify a different AAA server group to be used at a particular APN for authentication or accounting, use the aaa-group access-point configuration command.

If accounting is enabled on the APN, then the GGSN looks for an accounting server group to be used for the APN in the following order:

•First, at the APN for an accounting server group—configured in the aaa-group accounting command.

•Second, for a global GPRS default accounting server group—configured in the gprs default aaa-group accounting command.

•Third, at the APN for an authentication server group—configured in the aaa-group authentication command.

•Last, for a global GPRS default authentication server group—configured in the gprs default aaa-group authentication command.

If none of the above commands is configured on the GGSN, then AAA accounting is not performed.

If authentication is enabled on the APN, then the GGSN first looks for an authentication server group at the APN, configured in the aaa-group authentication command. If an authentication server group is not found at the APN, then the GGSN looks for a globally configured, GGSN default authentication server group, configured in the gprs default aaa-group authentication command.

To complete the configuration, you also must specify the following configuration elements on the GGSN:

•Enable AAA services using the aaa new-model global configuration command.

•Configure the RADIUS servers using the radius-server host command.

•Define a server group with the IP addresses of the RADIUS servers in that group using the aaa group server global configuration command.

•Configure the following AAA services:

–AAA authentication using the aaa authentication global configuration command

–AAA authorization using the aaa authorization global configuration command

–AAA accounting using the aaa accounting global configuration command

•Enable the type of AAA services (accounting and authentication) to be supported on the APN.

–The GGSN enables accounting by default for non-transparent APNs.

You can enable or disable accounting services at the APN using the aaa-accounting command.

–Authentication is enabled by default for non-transparent APNs. There is not any specific command to enable or disable authentication. Authentication cannot be enabled for transparent APNs.

You can verify the AAA server groups that are configured for an APN using the show gprs access-point command.

Note For more information about AAA and RADIUS global configuration commands, see the Cisco IOS Security Command Reference.

Examples

The following configuration example defines four AAA server groups on the GGSN: foo, foo1, foo2, and foo3, shown by the aaa group server commands.

Using the gprs default aaa-group command, two of these server groups are globally defined as default server groups: foo2 for authentication, and foo3 for accounting.

At access-point 1, which is enabled for authentication, the default global authentication server group of foo2 is overridden and the server group named foo is designated to provide authentication services on the APN. Notice that accounting services are not explicitly configured at that access point, but are automatically enabled because authentication is enabled. Because there is a globally defined accounting server-group defined, the server named foo3 will be used for accounting services.

At access-point 2, which is enabled for authentication, the default global authentication server group of foo2 is used. Because there is a globally defined accounting server-group defined, the server named foo3 will be used for accounting services.

At access-point 4, which is enabled for accounting using the aaa-accounting enable command, the default accounting server group of foo3 is overridden and the server group named foo1 is designated to provide accounting services on the APN.

Access-point 5 does not support any AAA services because it is configured for transparent access mode, and accounting is not enabled.

Usage Guidelines

Use the access-mode command to specify whether users accessing a PDN through a particular access point associated with the virtual template interface will have transparent or non-transparent access to the network.

Transparent access means that users who access the PDN through the current virtual template are granted access without further authentication.

Non-transparent access means that users who access the PDN through the current virtual template must be authenticated by the GGSN. You must configure non-transparent access to support RADIUS services at an access point. Authentication is performed by the GGSN while establishing the PDP context.

Examples

Example 1

The following example specifies transparent access to the PDN, gprs.pdn2.com, through access point 2:

interface virtual-template 1
gprs access-point-list abc
!
gprs access-point-list abc
access-point 2
  access-point-name gprs.pdn2.com
Example 2

The following example specifies non-transparent access to the PDN, gprs.pdn.com, through access point 1:

interface virtual-template 1
gprs access-point-list abc
!
gprs access-point-list abc
access-point 1
  access-point-name gprs.pdn.com   access-mode non-transparent

Note Because transparent is the default access mode, it does not appear in the output of the show running-configuration command for the access point.

Use the access-type command to specify whether an access point is real or virtual on the GGSN.

The default access-type is real. Therefore, you need to configure this command only if the APN needs to be a virtual access point.

Virtual access types are used to configure virtual APN support on the Cisco GGSN to minimize provisioning issues in other GPRS/UMTS network entities that require configuration of APN information.

By default, using the virtual APN feature on the GGSN, home location register (HLR) subscription data can simply provide the name of the virtual APN. Users can still request access to specific target networks that are accessible by the GGSN without requiring each of those destination APNs to be provisioned at the HLR.

The default keyword, real, identifies a physical target network that the GGSN can reach. Real APNs must always be configured on the GGSN to reach external networks.

Virtual APNs can be configured in addition to real access points to ease provisioning in the GPRS/UMTS public land mobile network (PLMN).

Note If the access type is virtual, some of the access-point configuration commands are not applicable, and if configured, will be ignored.

The default virtual APN support relies on the domain portion of the username to resolve the target APN. Once, the target is resolved, the user is then connection to that APN on the GGSN.

Cisco GGSN Release 6.0, Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14) and later, supports pre-authentication-based virtual access points. The pre-authentication-based virtual APN feature utilizes AAA servers to provide dynamic, per-user mapping of a virtual APN to a target (real) APN.

When the pre-authenticate keyword option is specified when configuring a virtual APN, a pre-authentication phase is applied to Create PDP Context requests received that include a virtual APN in the APN information element.

Pre-authentication-based virtual APN requires that the AAA server be configured to provision user profiles to include the target APN. The AAA maps a user to the target using user identifications such as the IMSI, user name, or MSISDN, etc. Additionally, the target APN must be locally configured on the GGSN.

The following is the typical call flow with regard to external AAA servers when a virtual APN is involve:

1. The GGSN receives a Create PDP Context Request that includes a virtual APN. It locates the virtual APN and starts a pre-authentication phase for the PDP context by sending an Access-Request message to an AAA server.

2. The AAA server does a lookup based on the user identification (username, MSISDN, IMSI, etc.) included in the Access-Request message, and determines the target-APN for the user from the user profile. The target APN is returned as a Radius attribute in the Access-Accept message to the GGSN.

3. The GGSN checks for a locally-configured APN that matches the APN name in the target APN attribute in the Access-Accept message.

–If a match is found, the virtual APN is resolved and the Create PDP Context Request is redirected to the target APN and is further processed using the target APN (just as if the target APN was included in the original Create PDP Context request). If the real APN is non-transparent, another Access-Request is sent out. Typically, the AAA server should be different.

–If a match is not found, the Create PDP Context Request is rejected.

–If there is no target APN included in the RADIUS attribute in the access-accept message to the GGSN, or if the target APN is not locally configured, the Create PDP Context Request is rejected.

4. GGSN receives an access-accept from the AAA server for the second round of authentication.

When configuring pre-authentication-based virtual APN functionality, please note the following:

When configuring pre-authentication-based virtual APN functionality, please note the following:

•If a user profile on the AAA server is configured to include a target APN, then the target APN should be a real APN, and it should be configured on the GGSN.

•An APN can only be configured for domain-based virtual APN functionality or pre-authentication-based APN functionality, not both.

•The target APN returned from AAA must be a real APN, and if more than one APN is returned, the first one is used and the rest ignored.

•Configure anonymous user access under the virtual APN (using the anonymous user access-point configuration command) to mobile stations (MS) to access without supplying the username and password (the GGSN uses the common password configured on the APN).

•At minimum, an AAA access-method must be configured under the virtual APN, or globally. If a method is not configured, the create PDP request will be rejected.

•The associated real APN name is used in G-CDRs and authentication requests sent to a virtual APN

Note For virtual APNs, the domain is always removed from the username attribute. The associated real APN name is used in G-CDRs and authentication requests sent to a virtual APN.

Examples

Example 1

The following example shows configuration of a virtual access point type and a real access point type:

access-point 1
  access-point-name corporate
  access-type virtual

  ip-address-pool dhcp-client
  dhcp-server 10.21.21.1
Example 2

The following example enables pre-authentication-based virtual APN functionality for virtual access point and specifies "cisco.com" as the default APN if a target APN is not resolved.

access-point 1
  access-point-name virtual-apn-all
  access-type virtual pre-authenticate default-apn cisco.com
  anonymous user anyone abc
  radius attribute user-name msisdn

Usage Guidelines

The GGSN uses a static host route to forward user data packets received from the Gi interface to the Gn interface, using the virtual template interface of the GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel.

Without the aggregate command or gprs default aggregate command, the GGSN creates a static host route for each PDP context. For example, for 45,000 PDP contexts supported, the GGSN creates 45,000 static host routes in its IP routing table.

You can use the aggregate command to reduce the number of static routes implemented by the GGSN for PDP contexts at a particular access point. The aggregate command allows you to specify an IP network prefix to combine the routes of PDP contexts from the same network as a single route on the GGSN.

To configure the GGSN to automatically aggregate routes that are returned by a DHCP or RADIUS server, use the aggregate auto command at the APN.

Note The aggregate auto command will not aggregate routes when using local IP address pools.

Automatic route aggregation can be configured only at the access-point configuration level on the GGSN. The gprs default aggregate global configuration command does not support the auto option; therefore, you cannot configure automatic route aggregation globally on the GGSN.

You can specify multiple aggregate commands at each access point to support multiple network aggregates. However, if you use the aggregate auto command at the access point name (APN), you cannot specify any other aggregate route ranges at the APN.

To globally define an aggregate IP network address range for all access points on the GGSN for statically derived addresses, you can use the gprs default aggregate command. You can use the aggregate command to override this default address range at a particular access point.

The GGSN responds in the following manner to manage routes for MSs through an access point, when route aggregation is configured in the following scenarios:

•No aggregation is configured on the GGSN, at the APN or globally—The GGSN inserts the 32-bit host route of the MS into its routing table as a static route.

•A default aggregate route is configured globally, but no aggregation is configured at the APN:

–If a statically or dynamically derived address for an MS matches the default aggregate route range, the GGSN inserts an aggregate route into its routing table.

–If the MS address does not match the default aggregate route, the GGSN inserts the 32-bit host route as a static route into the routing table.

•A default aggregate route is configured globally, and automatic route aggregation is configured at the APN:

–If a statically derived address for an MS matches the default aggregate route range, the GGSN inserts an aggregate route into its routing table.

–If a statically derived address for an MS does not match the default aggregate route, the GGSN inserts the 32-bit host route as a static route into its routing table.

–If a dynamically derived address for an MS is received, the GGSN aggregates the route, based on the address and mask returned by the DHCP or RADIUS server.

•A default aggregate route is configured globally, and an aggregate route is also configured at the APN:

–If a statically or dynamically derived address for an MS matches the aggregate range at the APN through which it was processed, or otherwise matches the default aggregate range, the GGSN inserts an aggregate route into its routing table.

–If a statically or dynamically derived address for an MS does not match either the aggregate range at the APN or the global default aggregate range, the GGSN inserts the 32-bit host route as a static route into its routing table.

Use care when assigning IP addresses to an MS before you configure the aggregation ranges on the GGSN. A basic guideline is to aggregate as many addresses as possible, but to minimize your use of aggregation with respect to the total amount of IP address space being used by the access point.

Note The aggregate command and gprs default aggregate commands affect routing on the GGSN. Use care when planning and configuring IP address aggregation.

Use the show gprs access-point command to display information about the aggregate routes that are configured on the GGSN. The aggregate output field appears only when aggregate routes have been configured on the GGSN or when the auto option is configured.

Use the show ip route command to verify whether the static route is in the current IP routing table on the GGSN. The static route created for any PDP requests (aggregated or non-aggregated) appears with the code "U" in the routing table, indicating a per-user static route.

Note The show ip route command displays a static route for aggregated PDP contexts only if PDP contexts on that network have been created on the GGSN. If you configure route aggregation on the GGSN, but no PDP requests have been received for that network, the static route does not appear.

Examples

Example 1

The following example specifies two aggregate network address ranges for access point 8. The GGSN will create aggregate routes for PDP context requests received from MSs with IP addresses on the networks 172.16.0.0 and 10.0.0.0:

gprs access-point-list gprs
access-point 8
   access-point-name pdn.aaaa.com
   aggregate 172.16.0.0/16
   aggregate 10.0.0.0/8

Note Regardless of the format in which you configure the aggregate command, the output from the show running-configuration command always displays the network in the dotted decimal/integer notation.

Example 2

The following example shows a route aggregation configuration for access point 8 using DHCP on a GGSN implement on the Cisco 7200 series router platform, along with the associated output from the show gprs gtp pdp-context all command and the show ip route commands.

Notice that the aggregate auto command is configured at the access point where DHCP is being used. The dhcp-gateway-address command specifies the subnet addresses to be returned by the DHCP server. This address should match the IP address of a loopback interface on the GGSN. In addition, to accommodate route aggregation for another subnet 10.80.0.0, the gprs default aggregate global configuration command is used.

In this example, the GGSN aggregates routes for dynamically derived addresses for MSs through access point 8, based on the address and mask returned by the DHCP server. For PDP context requests received for statically derived addresses on the 10.80.0.0 network, the GGSN also implements an aggregate route into its routing table, as configured by the gprs default aggregate command.

interface Loopback0
ip address 10.80.0.1 255.255.255.255
!
interface Loopback2
ip address 10.88.0.1 255.255.255.255
!
gprs access-point-list gprs
access-point 8
   access-point-name pdn.aaaa.com
   ip-address-pool dhcp-proxy-client
   aggregate auto
   dhcp-server 172.16.43.35
   dhcp-gateway-address 10.88.0.1
   exit
!
gprs default aggregate 10.80.0.0 255.255.255.0

In the following output for the show gprs gtp pdp-context all command, 5 PDP context requests are active on the GGSN for pdn.aaaa.com from the 10.88.0.0/24 network:

GGSN# show gprs gtp pdp-context all
TID              MS Addr         Source  SGSN Addr       APN
6161616161610001 10.88.0.1       DHCP    172.16.123.1    pdn.aaaa.com
6161616161610002 10.88.0.2       DHCP    172.16.123.1    pdn.aaaa.com
6161616161610003 10.88.0.3       DHCP    172.16.123.1    pdn.aaaa.com
6161616161610004 10.88.0.4       DHCP    172.16.123.1    pdn.aaaa.com
6161616161610005 10.88.0.5       DHCP    172.16.123.1    pdn.aaaa.com

The following output for the show ip route command shows a single static route in the IP routing table for the GGSN, which routes the traffic for the 10.88.0.0/24 subnet through the virtual template (or Virtual-Access1) interface:

GGSN# show ip route

Usage Guidelines

Use the auto-retrieve command to configure the GGSN to automatically retrieve G-CDRs from a PSD. When the auto-retrieve command is configured, the GGSN retrieves G-CDRs from the PSDs defined in the PSD server group. It initiates a retrieval from the "retrieve-only" PSD first, and then retrieves the G-CDRs from the local PSD.

If a retrieve-only PSD has been configured without the auto-retrieve command configured, the GGSN will not initiate a start retrieve when a retrieving event occurs.

Note PSD auto-retrieval is supported for GTPv0 and GTPv1 IP PDP type PDP contexts on the Catalyst 6500/Cisco 7600 platforms.

Usage Guidelines

The block-foreign-ms command enables the gateway GRPS support node (GGSN) to block foreign mobile stations (MSs) from accessing the GGSN via a particular access point.

When you use this command, the GGSN determines if an MS is inside or outside of the PLMN, based on the MCC and MNC. The MCC and MNC are specified using the gprs mcc mnc command.

Note The MCC and MNC values used to determine whether a request is from a roaming MS must be configured using the gprs mcc mnc global configuration command before the GGSN can be enabled to block foreign mobile stations.

Additionally, before a GGSN is enabled to block foreign MSs, a valid PLMN should be configured using the gprs plmn ip address command. The block foreign MS feature will not take affect until a valid PLMN is configured and the GGSN will allow Create PDP Context requests from foreign MSs until then.

Examples

The following example blocks access to foreign MSs at access point 49:

gprs access-point-list abc
access-point 49
   access-point-name www.pdn.com
   block-foreign-ms

•Transmission time (Tx timeout) expires.

•CCA message containing protocol error (Result-Code 3xxx) is received.

•CCA fails (for example, a CCA with a permanent failure notification [Result-Code 5xxx]) is received).

•Failure-to-send condition exists (the DCCA client is not able to communicate with the desired destination).

•An invalid answer is received

Usage Guidelines

Use the clear gprs charging cdr command to clear the CDRs for one or more PDP contexts.

To clear CDRs by tunnel ID (TID), use the clear gprs charging cdr command with the tid keyword and specify the corresponding TID for which you want to clear the CDRs. To determine the tunnel ID (TID) of an active PDP context, you can use the show gprs gtp pdp-context all command to obtain a list of the currently active PDP contexts (mobile sessions).

To clear CDRs by access point, use the clear gprs charging cdr command with the access-point keyword and specify the corresponding access-point index for which you want to clear CDRs. To obtain a list of access points, you can use the show gprs access-point command.

When you clear CDRs for a tunnel identifier (TID), an access point, or for all access points, charging data records for the specified TID or access point(s) are sent immediately to the charging gateway. When you run these versions of this command, the following things occur:

•The GGSN no longer sends charging data that has been accumulated for the PDP context to the charging gateway.

•The GGSN closes the current CDRs for the specified PDP contexts.

•The GGSN no longer generates CDRs for existing PDP contexts.

To close all CDRs and open partial CDRs for existing PDP contexts on the GGSN, use the clear gprs charging cdr partial-record command.

The clear gprs charging cdr command is normally used before disabling the charging function.

The following example shows how to clear CDRs by tunnel ID:

12.4(2)XB

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(2)XB.

Usage Guidelines

Use the clear gprs cdr all no-transfer command to clear stored and pending CDRs when the GGSN is in charging and global maintenance modes.

When you clear stored CDRs, the GGSN does not send the charging data accumulated for packet data protocol (PDP) contexts to the charging gateway when the global and charging service-mode states are returned to operational. Additionally, once the service-mode states are returned to operational, the GGSN no longer generates CDRs for the existing PDP contexts. Therefore, to return to normal CDR generation, clear existing PDP contexts using the clear gprs gtp pdp-context global configuration command.

Note To clear CDRs, the GGSN must be in global maintenance mode (using the gprs service-mode maintenance command) and charging maintenance mode (using the gprs charging service-mode maintenance command.

Note When the GGSN is in charging and global maintenance mode, the GGSN no longer creates CDRs for existing PDPs.

Examples

The following example shows how to clear CDRs:

Usage Guidelines

Use the clear gprs gtp pdp-context command to clear one or more PDP contexts (mobile sessions). Use this command when operator intervention is required for administrative reasons—for example, when there are problematic user sessions or when the system must be taken down for maintenance.

After the clear gprs gtp pdp-context command is issued, those users who are accessing the public data network (PDN) through the specified TID, IMSI, path, or access point are disconnected.

Caution In a GTP session redundancy (GTP-SR) environment, do not use the clear gprs gtp pdp-context command on the Standby gateway GPRS support node (GGSN). If you issue this command on the Standby GGSN, you are prompted to confirm before the command is processed. Issue the show grps redundancy command to confirm which GGSN is the Standby GGSN in a GTP-SR configuration before using this command.

To determine the tunnel ID of an active PDP context, you can use the show gprs gtp pdp-context command to obtain a list of the currently active PDP contexts (mobile sessions). Then, to clear a PDP context by tunnel ID, use the clear gprs gtp pdp-context command with the tid keyword and the corresponding tunnel ID that you want to clear.

To clear PDP contexts by access point, use the clear gprs gtp pdp-context command with the access-point keyword and the corresponding access-point index. To display a list of access points that are configured on the GGSN, use the show gprs access-point command.

If you know the IMSI of the PDP context, you can use the clear gprs gtp pdp-context with the imsi keyword and the corresponding IMSI of the connected user to clear the PDP context. If you want to determine the IMSI of a PDP context, you can use the show gprs gtp pdp-context all command to display a list of the currently active PDP contexts. Then, after finding the TID value that corresponds to the session that you want to clear, you can use the show gprs gtp pdp-context tid command to display the IMSI.

12.3(14)YU

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)YU.

12.4(2)XB

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(2)XB.

Usage Guidelines

Use the content rulebase charging profile configuration command to define a default rulebase ID to a charging profile.

Rulebases contain the rules for defining categories of traffic; categories on which decisions such as whether to allow or disallow traffic, and how to measure the traffic, are based. The GGSN maps Diameter Rulebase IDs to Cisco Content Services Gateway (CSG) billing plans.

Note The rulebase value presented in a RADIUS Access Accept message overrides the default rulebase ID configured in a charging profile. A rulebase ID received in a credit control answer (CCA) initial message from a Diameter credit control application (DCCA) server overrides the Rulebase ID received from the RADIUS server and the default rulebase ID configured in a charging profile.

Examples

The following example specifies a default rulebase with the ID of "PREPAID" in Charging Profile 1:

gprs charging profile 1
  content dcca profile dcca-profile1
  content postpaid time 400
  content rulebase PREPAID

Usage Guidelines

The dhcp-gateway-address specifies the value of the giaddr field that is passed in DHCP messages between the GGSN and the DHCP server. If you do not specify a DHCP gateway address, the address assigned to the virtual template is used.

Though a default value for the virtual template address will occur, you should configure another value for the dhcp-gateway-address command whenever you are implementing DHCP services at an access point.

If the access point is configured for VPN routing and forwarding (VRF), then the dynamic (or static addresses) returned for MSs of packet data protocol (PDP) contexts at the access point will also be part of that VRF address space. If the DHCP server is located within the VRF address space, then the corresponding loopback interface for the dhcp-gateway-address must also be configured within the VRF address space.

Examples

The following example specifies an IP address of 10.88.0.1 for the giaddr field (the dhcp-gateway-address) of DHCP server requests. Note that the IP address of a loopback interface, in this case Loopback2, matches the IP address specified in the dhcp-gateway-address command. This is required for proper configuration of DHCP on the GGSN.

interface Loopback2
ip address 10.88.0.1 255.255.255.255

Usage Guidelines

To configure DHCP on the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN), you must configure either the gprs default ip-address-pool global configuration command, or the ip-address-pool access-point configuration command with the dhcp-proxy-client keyword option.

After you configure the access point for DHCP proxy client services, use the dhcp-server command to specify a DHCP server.

Use the ip-address argument to specify the IP address of the DHCP server. The second, optional ip-address argument can be used to specify the IP address of a backup DHCP server to be used in the event that the primary DHCP server is unavailable. If you do not specify a backup DHCP server, then no backup DHCP server is available.

The DHCP server can be specified in two ways:

•At the global configuration level, using the gprs default dhcp-server command.

•At the access-point configuration level, using the dhcp-server command.

If you specify a DHCP server at the access-point level, using the dhcp-server command, then the server address specified at the access point overrides the address specified at the global level. If you do not specify a DHCP server address at the access-point level, then the address specified at the global level is used.

Therefore, you can have both a global address setting one or more local access-point level settings if you need to use different DHCP servers for different access points.

Use the vrf keyword when the DHCP server itself is located within the address space of a VRF interface on the GGSN. If the DHCP server is located within the VRF address space, then the corresponding loopback interface for the dhcp-gateway-address must also be configured within the VRF address space.

Examples

Example 1

The following example specifies both primary and backup DHCP servers to allocate IP addresses to mobile station users through a non-VPN access point. Because the vrf keyword is not configured, the default global routing table is used. The primary DHCP server is located at IP address 10.60.0.1, and the secondary DHCP server is located at IP address 10.60.0.2:

access-point 2
  access-point-name xyz.com
  dhcp-server 10.60.0.1 10.60.0.2
  dhcp-gateway-address 10.60.0.1
  exit
Example 2

The following example from an implementation on the Cisco 7200 series router platform shows a VRF configuration for vpn3 (without tunneling) using the ip vrf global configuration command. Because the ip vrf command establishes both VRF and Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) routing tables, notice that ip cef also is configured at the global configuration level to enable CEF switching at all of the interfaces.

The following other configuration elements must also associate the same VRF named vpn3:

•FastEthernet0/0 is configured as the Gi interface, using the ip vrf forwarding interface configuration command.

•Access point 2 implements VRF, using the vrf command access-point configuration command.

The DHCP server at access-point 2 is also configured to support VRF. Notice that access point 1 uses the same DHCP server, but does not support the VRF address space. The IP addresses for access point 1 will apply to the global routing table:

12.4(2)XB

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(2)XB.

Usage Guidelines

Use the dns primary command to specify the primary (and backup) DNS at the access-point level.

This feature benefits address-allocation schemes which have no mechanism for obtaining these addresses. Also, for a RADIUS-based allocation scheme, this feature prevents the operator from having to configure a NetBIOS Name Server (NBNS) and DNS for each user profile.

The DNS address can come from three possible sources: DHCP server, RADIUS server, or local access point name (APN) configuration. The criterion for selecting the DNS address depends on the IP address allocation scheme configured under the APN. Depending on the configuration, the criterion for selecting the DNS address is as follows:

1. DHCP-based IP address allocation scheme (local and external)—A DNS address returned from the DHCP server is sent to the mobile station (MS). If the DHCP server does not return a DNS address, the local APN configuration is used.

2. RADIUS-based IP address allocation scheme—A DNS address returned from the RADIUS server (in Access-Accept responses) is used. If the RADIUS server does not return a DNS address, the local APN configuration is used.

3. Local IP address pool-based IP address allocation scheme—A local APN configuration is used.

4. Static IP addresses—A local APN configuration is used.

Note The gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) sends DNS addresses in the Create PDP Context response only if the MS is requesting the DNS address in the protocol configuration option (PCO) information element (IE).

Examples

The following example specifies a primary DNS and a secondary DNS at the access point level:

access-point 2
  access-point-name xyz.com
  dns primary 10.60.0.1 secondary 10.60.0.2
  exit

Usage Guidelines

Use the ggsn quota-server command to configure the quota server process on a GGSN and to enter quota server configuration mode. In a service-aware GGSN configuration, the quota server process on the GGSN:

•Receives incoming path management and quota management messages from the CSG

•Maps Diameter credit control application (DCCA) categories to CSG services and vice versa

•Maps DCCA rulebase IDs to CSG billing plans

•Provides a Diameter/DCCA interface to the CSG for quota requests and returns

Note One quota server process can be configured per GGSN. Configuring more than one quota server process will overwrite the existing process.

To complete the quota server configuration, while in quota server configuration mode, you must also complete the following tasks:

•Configure a logical interface via which the quota server communicates with the CSG using the interface command

•Configure the duration of the echo interval for quota server path management using the echo-interval command. The GGSN quota server and CSG use echo timing to determine the health of the path between them.

•Configure the number of times a message is retransmitted to the CSG using the n3-requests command.

•Configure the amount of time the quota server waits for a response from the CSG using the t3-response command.

If you observe that users accessing the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) are using a higher average bandwidth, then you should increase the bandwidth value.

Note Before configuring the average bandwidth expected to be used by the best-effort QoS class using the gprs canonical-qos best-effort bandwidth-factor command, canonical QoS must be enabled using the gprs qos map canonical-qos command.

Examples

The following example configures a bandwidth factor of 20:

gprs canonical-qos best-effort bandwidth-factor 20

Usage Guidelines

Use the gprs canonical-qos map tos command to specify a mapping between various QoS categories and the ToS precedence bits in the IP header for packets transmitted over the Gn (GPRS tunneling protocol [GTP] tunnels) and Gi interfaces.

All the keyword arguments for the command are optional. However, if you specify a value for the normal argument, you must specify a value for the premium argument. And if you specify a value with the best-effort argument, then you must specify a value for both the premium and the normal arguments.

When a request for a user session comes in (a packet data protocol [PDP] context activation request), the GGSN determines whether the requested QoS for the session packets can be handled based on the maximum packet handling capability of the GGSN. Based on this determination, one of the following occurs:

•If the requested QoS can be provided, then it is maintained.

•If the requested QoS cannot be provided, then the QoS for the requested session is either lowered or the session is rejected.

Examples

The following example specifies a QoS mapping from the canonical QoS classes to a premium ToS category of 5, a normal ToS category of 3, and a best-effort ToS category of 2:

gprs canonical-qos map tos premium 5 normal 3 best-effort 2

Usage Guidelines

The GGSN uses the gprs canonical-qos premium mean-throughput-deviation command to calculate a mean throughput value that determines the amount of data throughput used for a premium QoS. The calculation is made based on the following formula, which includes the input deviation factor:

EB = Min[p, m + a(p - m)]

Where:

EB = the effective bandwidth
p = peak throughput from the GPRS QoS profile in packet data protocol (PDP) context requests
m = mean throughput from the GPRS QoS profile in PDP context requests
a = the deviation factor divided by 1000 (a/1000)

Examples

The following example configures a mean throughput deviation of 1000:

gprs canonical-qos premium mean-throughput-deviation 1000
