# SGSN Service Configuration Mode Commands

The SGSN Service configuration mode is used within the global configuration mode to specify the 3G operations of the SGSN and the available SGSN services for a specific context.

SGSN Service works with MAP Service, SGTP Service, GTPP Group, and IuPS Service. All five of these services must be configured to enable a 3G SGSN to communicate with other elements within a UMTS network.
In this mode, the command prompt should appear like:

    [<ctx_name>]hostname(config-sgsn-service)#

IMPORTANT:

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

Syntax

     admin-disconnect-behavior { clear-subscription | detach-type { reattach-not-required | reattach-required } }

    [ default | no ] admin-disconnect-behavior { clear-subscription | detach-type }

clear-subscription

Including this keyword in the configuration instructs the SGSN to clear subscriber contexts and the subscription data database whenever the clear subscribers all command is issued (from the Exec mode) for attached subscribers. As well, the SGSN will issue an appropriate Map-Purge-MS-Req to the HLR if needed.

Default: disabled
detach-type
Including this keyword defines which type of detach instruction to include in the Detach-Request message during an Admin-Disconnect procedure. One of the following options must be included when this command is entered:

- reattach-not-required
- reattach-required

Default: reattach-required
default | no

Including either default or no keyword in the command, instructs the SGSN to use the default value for the specified parameter.
Usage:

Include the clear-subscription keyword with this command configuration to ensure that more than attached MM-context and active PDP-contexts are cleared when the clear subscribers all command is issued for attached subscribers.

To clear subscription data for detached subscribers, refer to the sgsn clear-detached-subscriptions command described in the Exec mode chapter.

Including the detach-type keyword with this command instructs the SGSN to include either a ‘reattach-required’ or a ‘reattach-no-required’ instruction in the Detach-Request message.
Example:
Configure the SGSN to clear data such as PTMSI allocated, auth-vectors received, and NGAF flag values stored in the subscriber database for attached subscribers:

tariff time1 mins hours [ time2 mins hours time3 mins hours time4 mins hours ]

Specifies the time-of-day (based on a 24-hour clock) to close the current statistics container in the CDR, but not necessarily the CDR itself. One tariff time must be defined and up to four tariff times can be specified.

IMPORTANT:

The system assumes that the billing system uses the day/date to determine if the statistics container represents an actual tariff period.

- mins: The minutes of the hour. Enter an integer from 0 to 59.
- hours: The hour of the day. Enter an integer from 0 to 23.

volume { downlink down_vol uplink up_vol | total total_vol }

Syntax

    check-imei { gf-failure-action | gf-timeout-action } { continue | reject }default check-imei { gf-failure-action | gf-timeout-action }

default

Resets the default function to reject the Attach.
gf-failure-action

Coupled with either continue or reject, this keyword instructs the SGSN to take action if a valid EIR configuration exists under the MAP service and if the EIR is temporarily unreachable due to associated DPC/SSN inaccessible/out-of-service.
gf-timeout-action

Coupled with either continue or reject, this keyword instructs the SGSN to take action if a valid EIR configuration exists under the MAP service and the route to the EIR is available, but no response is received from the EIR.
continue

Instructs the SGSN to continue the Attach process.
reject

Instructs the SGSN to reject the Attach process.
Usage:

Typically, the Attach process will be continued when there is an IMEI check timeout based on the configuration under the SGSN service configuration and/or the GPRS service configuration. But this works only if the route towards the EIR is UP and the IMEI request timer expires. This command configures the SGSN to allow the Attach process to continue in the case the route towards the EIR is down, that is the DPC / SSN is out-of-service.
Example:
Use the following command to reset the default and reject Attach:

    default check-imei
    gf-failure-action

Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax

    network-sharing cs-ps-coordinationdefault network-sharing
    cs-ps-coordinationno network-sharing
    cs-ps-coordination

default

Including this keyword resets the SGSN service to allow the check to be performed.
no

Disables this feature for the SGSN service.
Usage:

Use this command to facilitate the network sharing functionality. With this command, the SGSN can be instructed to perform a check to determine if CS-PS coordination is needed.

3GPP TS 25.231 section 4.2.5 describes the functionality of the SGSN to handle CS-PS (circuit-switching/packet-switching) coordination for attached networks not having a Gs-interface. In compliance with the standard, the SGSN rejects an Attach in a MOCN configuration with cause 'CS-PS coordination required', after learning the IMSI, to facilitate the RNC choosing the same operator for both CS and PS domains.
Example:
Use the following syntax to disable the CS-PS coordination check:

    no network-sharing
    cs-ps-coordination

nri length

Releases prior to 14.0, this command removes the configured NRI value and location information in the P-TMSI that would be retrieved by this SGSN.
nri length nri_length

Specifies the number of bits to be used in the P-TMSI, bits 23 to 18. to define the network resource identifier (NRI). The NRI length configuration also sets the maximum size of the pool. If not configured, the NRI length will be of zero length.

nri_length : Must be an integer from 1 to 6 to identify the number of bits.
null-nri-value null_nri_value

This keyword is only available in releases 8.1 and higher.

Configures the null NRI value which must be unique across the pool areas. This keyword is used for the offloading procedure for SGSN pooling (enabled with the sgsn offloading command, see the Exec Mode chapter).

null_nri_value is an integer 0 (zero) to 63 which identifies the SGSN to be used for the offloading procedure for SGSN pooling. There is no default value for this parameter.
non-broadcast mcc mcc mnc mnc lac lac_id rac rac_id

This keyword set is only available in releases 8.1 and higher.

Defines the non-broadcast LAC/RAC to be used in combination with the null-NRI for the offloading procedure. Including the MCC and MNC to specify the PLMN because the Iu-Flex feature supports multiple IuPS Services.

mcc identifies the mobile country code, the first part of the PLMN ID. Must be an integer between 100 and 999.

mnc identifies the mobile network code portion of the PLMN ID. Must be a 2- or 3-digit integer between 01 and 999.

lac_id defines a location area code associated with an RNC. Must be an integer between 1 and 65535.

rac_id defines the remote area code to be associated with an RNC. Must be an integer between 1 and 255.
nri-value nri_value

Specifies the MS-assigned value of the NRI to retrieve from the P-TMSI. This value must not exceed the maximum possible value specified by the NRI length. The NRI value must be unique across the pool or across all overlapping pools.

nri_value must be an integer from 1 to 63 to identify a specific SGSN in a pool. Use of 0 (zero) value is not recommended.

Multiple NRI values can be identified by providing multiple nri-values separated by a blank space for example: nri length 6 nri-value 29 43 61
Usage:

Use this command to identify the SGSN identified with the NRI in the MS generated P-TMSI.

This command adds or removes the Iu Flex configuration for this SGSN service. When using Iu Flex, all keywords must be defined. The command can be repeated to specify different values for any of the keyword parameters. If more than one NRI is configured, the SGSN service will round-robin between the available NRIs when new subscribers (re)connect.

Use this command to retrieve the NRI (identity of an SGSN) stored in in bits 23 to 18 of the packet-temporary mobile subscriber identity (P-TMSI). If more than one NRI value is configured, the SGSN service will round-robin between the available NRIs when new subscribers (re)connect.

When using MOCN mode for network sharing without SGSN pooling, the NRI length and the NRI value should both be used.
Example:
The following command specifies the the NRI length as 5 bits, identifies SGSN 23 with MCC 123 and MNC 22 and LAC 222 and RAC 12 for offloading procedure with NRIs 6 and 41:

    nri length 5 null-nri-value

Use this command to configure the IuPS service context that the current SGSN service will use to communicate with the RAN. Up to 8 definitions can be defined for a single SGSN service to allow for multiple PLMNs support.
Example:
The following command configures the SGSN service to use an IuPS service named iups1 that has been configured. in the same context as the SGSN service:

    ran-protocol iups-service iups1

reporting-action event-record

This command enables the SGSN to log GMM/SM events in EDR files for 3G services.
Platform:

Syntax

    reporting-action event-record[ default | no ] reporting-action
    event-record

default

Disables the logging function.
no

Removes the logging function from the configuration file.
Usage:

This command is one of the steps needed to enable the SGSN to create a log for events such as Attach, RAU, and Activations. The log is an EDR (event data record) in CSV format. For details about how this feature works, refer to the GMM-SM Event Logging chapter in the SGSN Administration Guide.
Related Commands:

- To enable GMM/SM event logging for 2G services, the reporting-action event-record command must be configured in the GPRS service configuration.
- To enable a log to be generated in an EDR file, the edr-module active-charging-service command must be enabled in the Context configuration mode.
- To configure parameters for the logging file characteristics and for file transfer, use the commands in the EDR Module Configuration Mode.

Example

Example
Enable GMM/SM event logging for 3G services:

Syntax

    sgsn-number  E.164_numberno sgsn-number

no

Removes the SGSN number configuration from the SGSN service configuration.
E.164_number

Enter a maximum of 15 digits to define the ‘phone’ number associated with this SGSN service in the specified context.
Usage:

The SGSN supports multiple SGSN numbers – different numbers in the 2G GPRS service configuration and the the 3G SGSN service configuration. If an HLR-initiated dialog is received, the SGSN will perform a lookup based on the IMSI and find the correct SGSN number with which the MS is associated. Subsequent messaging will use this address.

Example

Example
To delete the sgsn-number associated with this SGSN service context, enter:

    no sgsn-number
