paging_group_id must be an integer from 1 through 65535.
-noconfirm
Indicates that the command is to execute without any additional prompt and confirmation from the user.
Warning: If this keyword option is used with no paging-group id paging_group_id command the paging group id paging_group_id will be deleted and disabled with all active/inactive configurations in a paging group without prompting any warning or confirmation.
Usage
Use this command to enter/enable/disable Paging Group Identifier Configuration mode functionality within specific ASN paging controller service.
Important: A maximum of 32 paging groups can be configured within a service.
Example
The following command configures the paging group identifier as 1234 for the ASN paging controller service:
paging-group id 1234
 
peer-asngw
This command provides the facility to configure the addresses of trusted anchor ASN GW peers that a specific ASN Paging Controller and Location Registry service will allow R4 control and data path registration with.
Product
ASN PC-LR
Privilege
Administrator
Syntax
[ no ] peer-asngw address ip_address
no
Removes the configured peer anchor ASN GW from a specific ASN PC/LR service’s trusted peer list.
address ip_address
Specifies the IP address of the anchor ASN GW which is added as a trusted peer with the ASN PC/LR service.
ip_address is the IP address of the anchor ASN GW peers expressed in IPv4 dotted decimal or IPv6 colon separated notation.
Usage
Use this command to create the trusted peer anchor ASN GWs with a specific ASN PC/LR service to establish R4 control and data path registration.
On receipt of idle mode entry request message the ASN PC/LR service checks whether the Anchor DPF/Authenticator ASN GW address received in idle mode entry request message is in trusted peer ASN GW list configured with this command. If the Anchor DPF/Authenticator ASN GW address received in idle mode entry request message is not there (or not configured) in peer list the ASN PC/LR service sends idle mode entry response message with Failure Indication TLV with unspecified error code.
A maximum of 32 ASN GWs can be configured with this command.
Example
The following command adds the anchor ASN GW with an IP address of 1.2.3.4 as a trusted peer within an ASN PC service.
peer-asngw address 1.2.3.4
 
peer-asnpc
This command configures the peer Anchor Paging Controller(s) in this ASN PC/LR service.
Product
ASN PC-LR
Privilege
Administrator
Syntax
[ no ] peer-asnpc id mac_address ip-address ip_address
no
Removes the configured peer ASN PC/LR MAC address and IP address as trusted peer anchor ASN PC/LR.
id mac_address
Specifies the MAC address of the trusted peer system running ASN paging controller and location registry service.
mac_address is the MAC address of paging controller in standard (IEEE 802) format in six groups of two hexadecimal digits, separated by hyphens (-) or colons (:).
ip-address ip_address
Specifies the IP address of the trusted peer system running ASN paging controller and location registry service.
ip_address is the IP address of paging controller in standard IPv4 format in dotted decimal notation.
Usage
Use this command to configure the trusted peer anchor paging controller for ASN paging controller service. This command provides the input for the internal mapping from PC ID to IP address that is needed to forward the Location Update request from new Anchor PC to current Anchor PC during PC relocation.
Example
The following command sets the peer AS NPC id to 01:23:45:67:89:ab in colon (:) separated format and the IP address of the paging controller to 1.1.1.1:
peer-asnpc id 01:23:45:67:89:ab ip-address 1.1.1.1
 
policy overload
Configures traffic overload policy to control congestion in this service.
Product
ASN PC-LR
Privilege
Administrator
Syntax
policy overload { drop | reject }
default policy overload
default
Sets the traffic overload policy action to reject in this service.
drop
Default: disabled
Specifies that the system is to drop incoming packets containing new session requests.
reject
Default: enabled
Specifies that the system processes new session request messages and responds with a reject message.
Usage
Congestion policies at the service-level can be configured for service. When congestion control functionality is enabled at service level, these policies dictate how services respond should the system detect that a congestion condition threshold has been crossed.
Example
The following command configures an overload policy of reject for this ASN PC service:
policy overload reject
 
retransmission-timeout
Configures the amount of time that must pass without any response before the system re-attempts to send R6 control packets to BS.
Product
ASN PC-LR
Privilege
Administrator
Syntax
default
Sets the timeout duration to 3 seconds for retransmission of R6 control packets.
no
Disables/removes the configured timeout duration for retransmission of R6 control packets.
duration
Default: 3
Specifies the maximum allowable time for the ASN paging controller service to wait for a response from the BS before it a) attempts to communicate with the BS again (if the system is configured to retry the BS) or b) marks the BS as unreachable.
duration is measured in seconds and can be configured to any integer value between 1 and 1,000.
Usage
Use this command in conjunction with the max-retransmission command in order to configure the ASN paging controller services behavior when it does not receive a response from a particular BS.
Use the no retransmission-timeout command to delete a previously configured timeout value. If after deleting the lifetime setting you desire to return the lifetime parameter to its default setting, use the default retransmission-timeout command.
The chassis is shipped from the factory with the retransmission timeout set to 3 seconds.
Example
The following command configures a retransmission timeout value of 5 seconds:
retransmission-timeout 5
The following command deletes a previously configured retransmission-timeout setting:
 
setup-timeout
Configures the total amount of allowable time for the ASN paging controller service to setup a connection with the BS before it marks the BS as unreachable.
Product
ASN PC-LR
Privilege
Administrator
Syntax
setup-timeout duration
default setup-timeout
default
Sets the total timeout duration to 60 seconds to setup a connection with BS.
duration
Default: 60
Specifies the maximum allowable time for the ASN paging controller service to setup the R6 connection with BS before marks the BS as unreachable.
duration is measured in seconds and can be configured to any integer value between 1 and 100000.
Usage
Use this command to configure the maximum setup timeout duration to setup an R6 connection with BS. This command supersedes the duration set through the max-retransmission and retransmission-timeout commands for R6 connection.
The chassis is shipped from the factory with the connection setup timeout duration to 60 seconds.
Example
The following command configures an ASN paging controller service to mark a BS after waiting for 100 seconds before marks it as dead or unreachable:
setup-timeout 100
