Operator Policy Configuration Mode

Operator Policy configuration mode associates APNs, APN profiles, IMEI ranges, IMEI profiles, an APN remap table and a call control profile to an operator policy. These profiles and tables are created and defined within their own configuration modes to generate sets of rules and instructions that can be reused and assigned to multiple policies.

  • A maximum of 1,000 operator policies can be defined, including the “default” operator policy.
  • A maximum of 128 APN profiles can be associated with a single operator policy.
  • A maximum of 128 IMEI profiles can be associated with a single operator policy.
  • Only one APN remap table can be associated with a single operator policy.
  • Only one call control profile can be associated with a single operator policy.

Using the Operator Policy feature allows the operator to fine-tune any desired restrictions or limitations needed to control call handling per subscriber or for a group of callers across IMSI ranges.

IMPORTANT:

The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).

apn

This command identifies an APN (access point name) and associates it with an APN profile (created separately in the APN Profile Configuration mode).

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

MME, S-GW, SGSN


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax
apn { default-apn-profile apn_profile_name | network-identifier apn_net_id apn-profile apn_profile_name | operator-identifier apn_op_id apn-profile apn_profile_name } no apn { default-apn-profile  | network-identifier apn_net_id | operator-identifier apn_op_id } 
no

Disables the specified APN to APN Profile correspondence.

default-apn-profile apn_profile_name

Enables the use of a default APN profile comprised of default values for all parameters. this profile will be used when none of the configured APNs match the APN in the incoming Request.

apn_profile_name must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 64 characters.

apn-profileapn_profile_name

apn_profile_name must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 64 characters.

network-identifier apn_net_id

Links the specified APN network ID with the specified APN profile.

apn_net_id must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 63 characters, including dots (.) and dashes (-).

operator-identifier apn_op_id

Links the specified APN operator ID with the specified APN profile.

apn_op_id: must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 18 characters, including dots (.). The string must be in the following format, where # represents a digit: MNC###.MCC###.GPRS.


Usage:

Use this command, to associate APNs with APN profiles. This command can be repeated to associate multiple APNs with profiles.


Example:
Associate the APN profile named apnprof1 to APN network ID starflash.com:
apn apnprof1 network-identifier
starflash.com
associate

Associate an APN remap table and a call control profile with the operator policy.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

MME, S-GW, SGSN


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax
associate { apn-remap-table table_id | call-control-profile profile_id }no associate { apn-remap-table | call-control-profile } 
no

Removes the association definition from the policy configuration.

apn-remap-table table_id

Identifies the APN remap table to be associated with the operator policy.

table_id must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 65 characters.

call-control-profile profile_id

Identifies a call control profile to be associated with the operator policy.

profile_id must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 64 characters.


Usage:

Use this command to associate an APN remap table and/or a call control profile with this Operator Policy. The APN remap table and the call control profile contain the definitions that instruct the SGSN or MME how to handle calls. Only one of each of these can be associated with an operator policy.


Example:
Associate the stardust.net_APNremap1 APN remap table with this operator policy:
associate apn-remap-table
stardust.net_APNremap1
description

Associates a description with or names an operator policy.

description

Enter an alphanumeric string of 1 through 100 characters. If the string includes spaces, punctuation, and case-sensitive letters, it must be bracketed with double quotation marks (“ “).

imei

Defines a range of IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) numbers and associates an IMEI profile with the range definition.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

MME, S-GW, SGSN


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax

no

Removes the IMEI definition from the policy configuration.

range IMEI_number to IMEI_number

Defines the beginning and end of a range of IMEIs.

IMEI_number must be a numerical string of up to 14 digits.

sv ##

Identifies the software version to fine-tune the IMEI definition. This keyword should only be included if the IMEISV is retrievable.

## must be a 2-digit integer.

imei-profile profile_name

Identify the IMEI profile that defines the actions appropriate to the devices identified within the specified range.

profile_name must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 64 characters.


Usage:

This command defines the IMEI ranges that will be used by the operator policy to determine if the device is appropriately selected for actions defined in the specified IMEI profile.

All devices with an IMEI of 123123* requesting Attach shall be subject to actions in the blacklist_profile1
imei range 1231230 to
1231239 imei-profile name blacklist_profile1
