Important: This manual is valid for configuring PDSN on multiple platforms. Consequently not all sections, descriptions, features and commands are supported on all platforms. Others are activated by license only.
Important: For hardware supporting them, at least one Packet Accelerator Card (PAC) or Packet Services Card (PSC) must be made active prior to service configuration. Information and instructions for configuring PACs/PSCs to be active can be found in the Configuring System Settings chapter of the System Administration Guide.
Important: This section provides the minimum instruction set for configuring a PDSN service that allows the system to process data sessions. Commands that configure additional PDSN service properties are provided in the Command Line Interface Reference.
• Optional: If you are implementing Mobile IP data services, configure the name of the context in which the FA service is configured by entering the mobile-ip foreign-agent context fa_context_name [fa-service <name>] command.
•
• Optionally configure the PDSN behavior for A11 RRQ related parameters. airlink bad-sequence-number deny can be used to deny A11 RRQ messages that have an unsupported Vendor Id or invalid Airlink Sequence number (less than or equal to a previously received sequence number). Keywords and options that configure additional PDSN service behavior for A11 RRQs with this command are provided in the Command Line Interface Reference.
• Optionally use the no dormant-transition initial-session-setup command to configure the PDSN behavior to terminate A10 session, when the PDSN receives the A11-RRQ (Type 4) before the session for the original MN is established completely.
• Optionally use the no pcf-session-id-change restart-ppp command to configure the PDSN behavior to disable the ppp renegotiation, when the PDSN receives the A11 RRQ (Type 4) with a change in GRE key or PCF session Id, from current PCF and no change in PCF/PANID/CANID.
• Optionally use the setup-timeout<seconds> command to change the maximum amount of time, in seconds, allowed to set up a session. The default setting is 60 seconds.
• To retain the allocated IP during PPP renegotiation use the [default] ppp renegotiation retain-ip-address commandImportant: By default it will use the same IP address, allocated during renegotiation, after renegotiation also. Detailed informations are provided in Command Line Interface Reference.
• Optionally configure the MSID length to reject the A11-RRQs with illegal IMSI value by entering the [ default ] msid length [ min min_length ] max max_length command:
Step 1Important: This section provides the minimum instruction set for configuring an FA service that allows the system to process data sessions. Commands that configure additional FA service properties are provided in the Command Line Interface Reference. Additionally, when configuring Mobile IP take into account the MIP timing considerations discussed in Appendix B‚ MIP Timer Considerations�.
fa-ha-spi remote-address <ha_ip_address> spi-number numberadvertise num-adv-sent <number>advertise reg-lifetime <reg_time>multiple-reg <number>reg-timeout <time>
• The ip local-port command configures the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for the Pi interfaces’ IP socket.
• An infinite registration lifetime can be configured using the no advertise reg-lifetime command.
• Optionally configure the FA service for controlling the negotiation and sending of the I-bit in revocation messages by adding the revocation negotiate-i-bit comand. By default, it will not send I-bit in revocation message.
Step 1Important: This section provides the minimum instruction set for configuring an HA service that allows the system to process data sessions. Commands that configure additional HA service properties are provided in the Command Line Interface Reference. Additionally, when configuring Mobile IP take into account the MIP timing considerations discussed in MIP Timer Considerations�.

• The ip local-port command configures the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for the Pi interfaces’ IP socket.
• An infinite registration lifetime can be configured using the no reg-lifetime command.
• Optionally configure the HA service for controlling the negotiation and sending of the I-bit in revocation messages by adding the revocation negotiate-i-bit comand. By default it will not send I-bit in recocation message.
•
Step 1Important: Note that setting different priorities on each individual pool can cause addresses in some pools to be used more frequently.
If ip routing overlap-pool is configured, then the overlap addresses are added as interface addresses in the routing stack and a route is added in the kernel. The intf-address in the routing stack and the route in the kernel for the overlap address are removed when all the overlap-pools are deleted. The default is no ip routing overlap-pool.
