Important: The maximum number of subscribers supported is dependant on the license key installed and the number of active PSCs in the system. A fully loaded system with 13 active PSCs can support 3,000,000 total subscribers. Refer to the license key command and the Usage section (below) for additional information.
When configuring the max-subscribers option, be sure to consider the following:
The following command would bind the logical IP interface with the address of 4551:0db8:85a3:08d3:3319:8a2e:0370:1344 to the MAG service and specifies that a maximum of
300,000 simultaneous subscriber sessions can be facilitated by the interface/service at any given time:
gre: Specifies that GRE encapsulation is to be used for PMIPv6 tunnel data between the MAG and the LMA. This is the default for this command.
ipip: Specifies that IP-in-IP encapsulation is to be used for PMIPv6 tunnel data between the MAG and the LMA.
custom1: Specifies that a custom set of mobility options to be used in proxy binding update messages that are sent in Vendor Specific Mobility Options. These options are:
standard: Specifies that a standard set of mobility options are to be used in proxy binding update messages. The 3GPP specification, 29.275 defines these as Protocol Configuration Options.
count can be configured to any integer value between 1 and 4294967295.
seconds must be an integer value from1 to 262140.
Specifies the time when the registration renewal is sent to the LMA. percent is a percentage value of the registration lifetime and must be an integer value from 1 to 100.
exponential-backoff: Specifies that the Proxy Binding Update retransmission uses an exponential backoff to increase the retransmission timeout for each retry.
normal: Specifies that the Proxy Binding Update retransmission uses the configured retransmission timeout value for all PBU retransmission retries.
time must be an integer value between 100 and 100000.
Use the retransmission timeout command in conjunction with the max-retransmissions command in order to configure the MAG services behavior when it does not receive a response from a particular LMA.
