Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the gprs charging cdr-aggregation-limit command to specify the maximum number of CDRs that can be accumulated in a charging data transfer message to a charging gateway connected to the GGSN.
When the aggregation limit is reached, the GGSN puts the CDRs into a message and immediately sends it to the charging gateway.
To view the configured CDR aggregation limit, use the show gprs charging parameters command.
Examples
The following example specifies 128 CDRs:

Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the gprs charging cdr-option command to configure the GGSN to include or not include (using the no form of the command) the APN, dynamic address flag, NIP, PDP address, or PDP type parameters in G-CDRs.
apn-selection-mode
Use the gprs charging cdr-option apn-selection-mode command to enable the GGSN to provide the reason code for APN selection in G-CDRs.
The following are the possible APN selection reason codes:
•
•
•
local-record-sequence-number
Certain charging data systems use the local record sequence number field in CDRs to associate the partial records generated in the SGSN and GGSN with a particular PDP context. If the charging gateway implements this feature, use the gprs charging cdr-option local-record-sequence-number command to enable the feature on the GGSN.
node-id
Certain charging data systems use the node ID field in CDRs to identify the node that generated the CDR. If the charging gateway that your GGSN communicates with uses this feature, use the gprs charging cdr-option node-id command to enable the feature.
no-partial-cdr-generation
Use the gprs charging cdr-option no-partial-cdr-generation all command when you want all of the fields in the primary G-CDR to be included in any subsequent G-CDRs (partial G-CDRs) for the same PDP context request. By default, partial G-CDRs do not contain the following fields: network initiated PDP context, access point name (network identifier), PDP type, served PDP address, and dynamic address flag.
When you enable the gprs charging cdr-option no-partial-cdr-generation command, the GGSN creates any subsequent G-CDRs for the same PDP context request with the same fields in all G-CDRs and maintains sequence numbering.
If an SGSN change limit trigger is not configured when gprs charging cdr-option no-partial-cdr-generation command is configured, and a G-CDR is closed as a result of any other trigger (such as tariff times or QoS changes), the GGSN copies the last SGSN (the current SGSN) in the list in the new G-CDR. However, for charging releases prior to Release 4, by default, when the gprs charging cdr-option no-partial-cdr-generation command is configured and there is an SGSN change limit trigger configured either using the gprs charging container sgsn-change-limit global configuration or the limit sgsn-change charging profile configuration command, the CDR will not contain any SGSN address if it closed because of a non-SGSN-change trigger and there is no SGSN change. Therefore, to ensure that all CDR parameters are copied, including the SGSN list, specify the all keyword option when issuing the gprs charging cdr-option no-partial-cdr-generation.
Note
packet-count
When you issue the gprs charging cdr-option packet-count command, then the GGSN provides a packet count in the optional record extension field for all uplink and downlink packets transferred since the CDR was opened and subsequently closed.
The following object IDs (OIDs) are used in the optional record extension field of the CDR for the uplink and downlink packet counts:
•
•
served-msisdn
Use the gprs charging cdr-option served-msisdn command to enable the GGSN to provide the mobile station ISDN (MSISDN) number from the Create PDP Context request in a G-CDR.
To verify the options configured, use the show gprs charging parameters command.
Examples
The following example configures the GGSN to exclude the APN parameter in G-CDRs:
no gprs charging cdr-option apnRelated Commands

gprs charging characteristics reject
To configure the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) to reject GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) Version 1 (GTP v1) Create PDP Context requests for which no charging profile can be selected, use the gprs charging characteristics reject command in global configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

gprs charging container change-limit
To specify the maximum number of charging containers within each call detail record (CDR) from the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN), use the gprs charging container change-limit command in global configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.
gprs charging container change-limit number
no gprs charging container change-limit number
Syntax Description
Defaults
5 containers
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
For each activated packet data protocol (PDP) context on the GGSN, the GGSN creates a G-CDR to collect charging information to be sent to the charging gateway. When certain conditions occur for a PDP context, the GGSN adds information to the CDR or closes the CDR, depending on the trigger condition.
When a CDR is open for a PDP context and the GGSN detects a trigger condition, the GGSN collects the current charging data for that PDP context and appends it to the existing G-CDR in a CDR container.
The following conditions cause the GGSN to create a CDR container and send updates to the charging gateway:
•
•
•
The following conditions cause the GGSN to create a CDR container and close the G-CDR:
•
•
To control the maximum number of these trigger conditions, and therefore the number of CDR containers in each G-CDR, use the gprs charging container change-limit command.
When the number of containers added to a G-CDR reaches the limit specified in the gprs charging container change-limit command, the G-CDR is closed and sent as a partial CDR to the charging gateway. If the PDP context remains active, the GGSN opens another G-CDR with a subsequent sequence number associated with that PDP context and its charging data.
Examples
The following example specifies that each CDR includes 25 charging containers:
gprs charging change-condition-limit 25Related Commands
gprs charging container sgsn-change-limit
To specify the maximum number of serving GPRS support node (SGSN) changes that can occur before closing and updating a call detail record (CDR) for a particular packet data protocol (PDP) context, use the gprs charging container sgsn-change-limit command in global configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.
gprs charging container sgsn-change-limit number
no gprs charging container sgsn-change-limit number
Syntax Description
Defaults
Disabled
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
A value of 0 means that a CDR is closed each time that a new SGSN begins handling the PDP context.
The command specifies the number of changes, not the number of SGSNs to be supported. The number of SGSNs supported is equal to 1 more than the change limit. For example, if the SGSN change limit is 2, the maximum number of SGSNs in the list before the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) closes the G-CDR is 3.
When you enable the gprs charging cdr-option no-partial-cdr-generation command, the GGSN creates any subsequent G-CDRs for the same PDP context request with the same fields in all G-CDRs and maintains sequence numbering.
If an SGSN change limit trigger is not configured when gprs charging cdr-option no-partial-cdr-generation command is configured, and a G-CDR is closed as a result of any other trigger (such as tariff times or quality of service [QoS] changes), the GGSN copies the last SGSN (the current SGSN) in the list in the new G-CDR. However, for charging releases prior to Release 4, by default, when the gprs charging cdr-option no-partial-cdr-generation command is configured and there is an SGSN change limit trigger configured either using the gprs charging container sgsn-change-limit global configuration or the limit sgsn-change charging profile configuration command, the CDR will not contain any SGSN address if it closed because of a non-SGSN-change trigger and there is no SGSN change. Therefore, to ensure that all CDR parameters are copied, including the SGSN list, specify the all keyword option when issuing the gprs charging cdr-option no-partial-cdr-generation.
Examples
The following example specifies that a G-CDR closes after five SGSN changes in a list for a particular PDP context. If the PDP context is still active, then a partial CDR is opened:
gprs charging container sgsn-change-limit 5gprs charging container time-trigger
To specify a global time limit, that when exceeded by a packet data protocol (PDP) context causes the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) to close and update the call detail record (CDR) for that particular PDP context, use the gprs charging container time-trigger command in global configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines
If a time-trigger has been specified in a charging profile applied to an access point name (APN), that value will override the value specified globally.
Examples
The following example specifies that a G-CDR closes after a particular PDP context time duration exceeds 5 minutes. If the PDP context is still active, then a partial CDR is opened:

gprs charging container volume-threshold
To specify the maximum number of bytes that the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) maintains across all containers for a particular packet data protocol (PDP) context before closing and updating the call detail record (CDR), use the gprs charging container volume-threshold command in global configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.
gprs charging container volume-threshold threshold-value
no gprs charging container volume-threshold threshold-value
Syntax Description
threshold-value
A value between 1 and 4294967295 that specifies the container threshold value, in bytes. The default is 1,048,576 bytes (1 MB).
Defaults
1,048,576 bytes (1 MB)
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
While a PDP context (mobile session) is active, charging events are generated based on various actions. One way that users can be charged is based on the amount of data transmitted between the PDN and the mobile station. Data volume is recorded in each container of a G-CDR record. Service providers can use this recorded data volume to bill users by volume usage.
Use the gprs charging container volume-threshold command to control the maximum amount of data volume that can be reported in each G-CDR from an active PDP context before the G-CDR is eligible for an update to the charging gateway for subsequent billing. The GGSN opens another partial G-CDR for that PDP context while the PDP context remains in session on the GGSN.
For example, a volume threshold setting of 1 MB is configured on the GGSN. The GGSN opens a container in a G-CDR for a new PDP context. A trigger occurs for the PDP context, and at that time the GGSN has registered transmission of 500 KB of data for the PDP context. The trigger causes the GGSN to close the container for the PDP context, which has occurred before the volume limit is reached (500 KB of data transmitted, and 1 MB allowed).
As transmission for the PDP context continues, the GGSN opens a new container in the G-CDR. The GGSN now has up to 500 KB more data that can be processed for that PDP context before reaching the volume threshold limit for the G-CDR. When the volume threshold is reached across all containers for the PDP context (that is, when the sum of all of the byte counts across all containers for the PDP context reaches 1 MB), the GGSN closes the G-CDR with a volume limit cause so that the G-CDR can be sent to the charging gateway. The GGSN opens another partial G-CDR for the PDP context while it remains in session.
Examples
The following example specifies a threshold value of 2097152:

Usage Guidelines
Use the gprs charging packet-queue-size command to specify the maximum size of the GGSN queue of outstanding charging data transfer requests. This queue stores all unacknowledged charging data requests.
When the charging packet queue reaches the specified size, the GGSN stops queuing charging packets until a packet is cleared from the queue and stores new charging packets in memory.
If monitoring of the performance of the charging gateway indicates that it is processing charging packets too slowly, you can increase the size of the charging packet queue. Conversely, if the performance of the charging gateway is fast, you can decrease the size of the charging packet queue.

Usage Guidelines
Use the gprs charging profile global configuration command to create charging profiles. Charging profiles define the charging method to apply to a specific type of user (home, roamer, visitor), enabling you to apply a charging method on a per-packet data protocol (PDP) context basis.
The GGSN supports up to 256 charging profiles (numbered 0 to 255). Charging profiles define the charging method for a PDP context.
Profile 0 is a set profile that always exists and is not created by the user. However, it can be modified using the charging-related global configuration commands. Profiles 1 to 255 can be defined by the user and customized using the charging profile configuration commands. You can apply these charging profiles at the access point name (APN) and global level as the default charging method for a specific user type.
When using charging profiles, please note the following:
•
•
The following types of charging characteristics and trigger conditions can be configured in a charging profile:
•
•
•
•
•
•
When a Create PDP Context request is received, the charging profile is selected based on the following sources of input:
•
•
•
Note
For information on configuring a service-aware GGSN, see the "Configuring Enhanced Service-Aware Billing" chapter of the Cisco GGSN Configuration Guide.The order in which a charging profile is selected for a PDP context, is as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
If none of the above applies, the PDP context is rejected if the gprs charging characteristics reject global configuration command is configured and the Create PDP Context request is GTP v1. If the gprs charging characteristics reject command is not configured, the GTPv1 PDP context is created using charging profile 0.

gprs charging roamers
To enable charging for roamers on the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN), use the gprs charging roamers command in global configuration mode. To disable charging for roamers on the GGSN, use the no form of this command.
gprs charging roamers
no gprs charging roamers
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
Charging for roamers is disabled.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the gprs charging roamers command to enable support on the GGSN for the creation of call detail records (CDRs) for roaming mobile subscribers.
Note
When the charging for roamers feature is enabled on the GGSN, when the GGSN receives a packet data protocol (PDP) context request, it first checks to see if both the GGSN and serving GPRS support node (SGSN) PLMN IDs are present and match (via the Routing Area Information field [RAI] information element [IE]).
If both IDs are not present or do not match, the GGSN matches the IE containing the serving GPRS support node (SGSN) Signaling Address field against a list of PLMN IP address ranges that have been defined using the gprs plmn ip address command with the sgsn keyword option specified.
Note
Note
If the GGSN determines that the SGSN that sent the Create PDP Context request is not located within the same PLMN in which the GGSN is located, the GGSN generates a CDR. If the GGSN determines that the SGSN is located in the same PLMN, it will not generate a CDR until it receives notification that the SGSN has changed to that of one located in another PLMN.
How the charging for roamers feature functions when the GGSN determines that a Create PDP Context request is that of a roamer by matching the PDP context request IE containing the SGSN Signaling address fields against a list of PLMN IP addresses depends on how the PLMN IP address ranges have been defined using the gprs plmn ip address command with the sgsn keyword option specified.

–
Configuration Guidelines
To enable charging for roamers on the GGSN, you should first define a set of IP address ranges for a PLMN using the gprs plmn ip address command.
It is important that you configure the gprs plmn ip address and gprs charging roamers commands in their proper order. After you configure the IP address range for a PLMN, use the gprs charging roamers command to enable charging for roamers on the GGSN. You can change the IP address range by reissuing the gprs plmn ip address command.
To verify your configuration, use the show gprs charging parameters command to see if the charging for roamers feature is enabled. To verify your PLMN IP address ranges, use the show gprs plmn ip address command.
Examples
The following example enables the charging for roamers feature on the GGSN:

Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the gprs charging service-mode command to place the charging function of a GGSN in maintenance mode. When the charging function is in maintenance mode, you can add, delete, or modify charging gateways (CGs). For example, you can change the IP addresses of charging gateways (CGs), their priority, and the number of CGs.
When the charging function is in maintenance mode, call detail records (CDRs) are not transmitted to CGs. However, the collection of CDRs is not affected. Once the service-mode state of the charging function has been returned to operational, any pending messages are sent to the newly configured CG and the charging function operates normally. If all CGs were deleted while the GGSN was in charging maintenance mode, CDRs and messages in the pending queue are stored in the GGSN.
Note
Examples
The following example places the charging function of a GGSN in maintenance mode:

gprs default aaa-group
To specify a default authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server group and assign the type of AAA services to be supported by the server group for all access points on the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN), use the gprs default aaa-group command in global configuration mode. To remove the default AAA server group, use the no form of this command.

No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The Cisco Systems GGSN supports authentication and accounting at APNs using AAA server groups. By using AAA server groups, you gain the following benefits:
•
•
•
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 at the APN or globally in the following order:
•
•
•
•
If authentication is enabled on the APN, then the GGSN first looks for an authentication server group at the APN. If an authentication server group is not found at the APN, then the GGSN looks for a globally configured, GPRS default authentication server group.
To complete the configuration, you must specify the following configuration elements on the GGSN:
•
•
•
–
You can disable accounting services at the APN by using the aaa-accounting disable command.
–
•
Note
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 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.

gprs default aggregate
To configure the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) to create an aggregate route in its IP routing table when receiving packet data protocol (PDP) requests from mobile stations (MSs) on the specified network for any access point on the GGSN, use the gprs default aggregate command in global configuration mode. To remove a global aggregate route, use the no form of this command.
gprs default aggregate ip-network-prefix {/mask-bit-length | ip-mask}
no gprs default aggregate ip-network-prefix {/mask-bit-length | ip-mask}
Syntax Description
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
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 gprs default aggregate command or aggregate command, the GGSN creates a static host route for each PDP request. 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 gprs default aggregate command to reduce the number of static routes implemented by the GGSN for PDP requests at all access points on the GGSN. The gprs default aggregate command allows you to specify an IP network prefix to combine the routes of PDP requests from the same network as a single route on the GGSN.
If you use the gprs default aggregate command to globally define an aggregate IP network address range for all access points on the GGSN, you can use the aggregate command to override this default address range at a particular access point. Automatic route aggregation can be configured at the access-point configuration level only on the GGSN. The gprs default aggregate command does not support the auto option; therefore, you cannot configure automatic route aggregation globally on the GGSN.
When route aggregation is configured as in the following scenarios, the GGSN manages routes for MSs through an access point as follows:
•
•
–
–
•
–
–
–
•
–
–
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
Examples
The following example shows a route aggregation configuration for access point 8 using DHCP on the GGSN, 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 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.

Usage Guidelines
Use the gprs default charging-gateway command to specify the IP address or host name of a default charging gateway that the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) uses to communicate charging information. If you specify three gateways, then the first gateway is the primary gateway, and the second and third charging gateways are backups.
All charging gateways share the same global parameters.
When the GGSN is configured for priority switchover using the gprs charging switchover priority global configuration command, regardless of the state of the current active charging gateway, when the higher priority gateway comes up, the GGSN will switch over and send G-CDRs to that charging gateway.

Usage Guidelines
Use the gprs default dhcp-server command to specify a DHCP server from which the GGSN obtains IP address leases for mobile users across all access points. Use the optional second set of arguments to specify the name, or IP address, of a backup DHCP server to use if the primary DHCP server is unavailable. If you do not specify a backup DHCP server, then no backup DHCP server is available.
In addition to specifying a DHCP server for the GGSN, you must also specify the GGSN as a DHCP proxy client. You can configure the GGSN as a DHCP proxy client using either the gprs default ip-address-pool dhcp-proxy-client global configuration command or the ip-address-pool dhcp-proxy-client access-point configuration command.
You can override the DHCP server that is configured globally, and specify a different DHCP server for a particular access point using the dhcp-server access-point configuration command. If you do not specify a DHCP server for a specified access point, then the DHCP server specified with the gprs default dhcp-server command is used for that access point.
Note
Examples
The following example specifies 10.101.100.3 as the GPRS/UMTS default DHCP server for GGSN, using the gprs default dhcp-server command. Although this DHCP server is also configured globally on the router or instance of Cisco IOS software using the ip dhcp-server global configuration command, this is not required.
Because DHCP is the default dynamic addressing method specified by the gprs default ip-address-pool dhcp-proxy-client command, access point 3 will use the DHCP server located at 10.101.100.3 for IP addressing support. Access point 1 and access point 2 override the default DHCP server using the dhcp-server access-point configuration command to specify alternative DHCP servers:

Usage Guidelines
Use the gprs default ip-address-pool command to specify the method by which the GGSN obtains address leases for mobile stations (MSs) across all access points.
If you specify dhcp-proxy-client for the GPRS/UMTS default IP address pool, then you must specify a DHCP server for address allocation. To specify a DHCP server, use either the gprs default dhcp-server global configuration command or the dhcp-server access-point configuration command.
If you specify radius-client as the method for IP address allocation, then you must configure RADIUS services at the GGSN. This involves configuring authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server groups using the gprs default aaa-group or aaa-group commands and configuring the radius-server host commands to specify the RADIUS servers that provide the address pool. You also need to configure AAA on the GGSN. For more information about configuring RADIUS on the GGSN, refer to the "Usage Guidelines" section for the aaa-group and gprs default aaa-group commands.
To disable the selected IP address allocation method, use the no form of this command or issue the command with the disable keyword (the default form of this command).
Examples
The following example specifies gprs default ip-address-pool dhcp-proxy-client as the dynamic address allocation method for the GGSN across all access points.
Access point 3 overrides the default by specifying ip-address-pool radius-client as the dynamic address allocation method for that access point. The corresponding RADIUS and AAA configurations are also shown as examples.

gprs default map-converting-gsn
To specify the IP address or host name of the primary (and backup) GPRS support node (GSN) to communicate with the home location register (HLR) in sending and receiving Mobile Application Protocol (MAP) messages, use the gprs default map-converting-gsn command in global configuration mode. To remove the GSN configuration, use the no form of this command.
gprs default map-converting-gsn {ip-address | hostname} [ip-address | hostname]
no gprs default map-converting-gsn {ip-address | hostname} [ip-address | hostname]
Syntax Description
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the gprs default map-converting-gsn command to identify an GSN that can convert GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) messages to and from MAP messages. This GTP-to-MAP and MAP-to-GTP conversion allows the GSN to communicate with an HLR.
The gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) supports a maximum of two protocol-converting GSNs. Therefore, you can specify both a primary GSN and a backup GSN by using a single gprs default map-converting-gsn command. However, you cannot configure more than one instance of the gprs default map-converting-gsn command.
The GGSN uses the backup GSN when the GGSN reaches the maximum signaling threshold (N3 GTP signaling requests x T3).
Examples
The following example configures the GSN, located at IP address 172.16.10.10, to convert MAP messages between the HLR and the GGSN:
gprs default map-converting-gsn 172.16.10.10gprs delay-qos map tos
To specify a quality of service (QoS) mapping from the delay QoS classes to an IP type of service (ToS) precedence value, use the gprs delay-qos map tos class command in global configuration mode. To return to the default values, use the no form of this command.
gprs delay-qos map tos class1 tos-value [class2 tos-value [class3 tos-value [class-best-effort tos-value]]]
no gprs delay-qos map tos class1 tos-value [class2 tos-value [class3 tos-value [class-best-effort tos-value]]]
Syntax Description
Defaults
The default value for the class1 ToS category is 3.
The default value for the class2 ToS category is 2.
The default value for the class3 ToS category is 1.
The default value for the class-best-effort ToS category is 0.
Command Modes

Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the gprs delay-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 interface (GPRS tunneling protocol [GTP] tunnels).
Note
The class2, class3, and class-best-effort keyword arguments are optional. However, if you specify a value for the class3 argument, you must specify a value for the class2 argument. And, if you specify a value for the class-best-effort argument, then you must specify a value for both the class2 and class3 arguments.
Only ToS classes 0 through 5 will be used for gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) signaling and user data. The GTP signaling message should have the highest precedence. ToS class 5 is the default ToS for GTP signaling. Use the gprs gtp map signalling tos command to specify an IP ToS mapping for GTP signaling packets.
The ToS precedence classes are defined as follows:
0 Routine
1 Priority
2 Immediate
3 Flash
4 Flash Override
5 Critical ECP
6 Internetwork Control
7 Network Control
Examples
The following example specifies a QoS mapping from the delay QoS classes to a class1 ToS category of 4, a class2 ToS category of 3, a class3 ToS category of 2, and a best-effort ToS category of 1.
gprs delay-qos map tos class1 4 class2 3 class3 2 class-best-effort 1Related Commands
gprs dfp max-weight
To specify the maximum weight sent to a dynamic feedback protocol (DFP) manager by a gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) acting as a DFP agent, use the gprs dfp max-weight command in global configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.
gprs dfp max-weight [max-weight-value]
no gprs dfp max-weight [max-weight-value]
Syntax Description
max-weight-value
Specifies the maximum weight sent by the GGSN, acting as a DFP agent, to a DFP manager. The valid range is 1 to 100. The default value is 8.
Defaults
8
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
If you use DFP with GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) load balancing, you must also specify a maximum number of packet data protocol (PDP) contexts for each GGSN, using the gprs maximum-pdp-context-allowed command. Do not accept the default value of 10000 PDP contexts.
We recommend using a value of 45000. Significantly lower values can impact performance in a GTP load-balancing environment.
