ASN Paging Controller Configuration Mode Commands

Use the ASN Paging Controller Configuration Mode to create and manage Access Service netowrk (ASN) paging and location register services for WiMAX subscribers within a context.

IMPORTANT:

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

asnpc-id

Configures the identifier for an ASN paging controller for the subscribers in this service.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

ASN PC-LR


Privilege:

Administrator


Syntax 
asnpc-id mac_addressdefault asnpc-id
default

Sets the ASN paging controller identifier as the IP address of the system running the ASN paging controller and location registry service.

mac_address

Specifies the MAC address of the system running the ASN paging controller and location registry service.

mac_address is the MAC address of the paging controller in standard (IEEE 802) format – six groups of two hexadecimal digits separated by hyphens (-) or colons (:).


Usage:

Use this command to configure the MAC address of the paging controller for the ASN paging controller service.


Example:
The following command sets the MAC address of paging controller to 01:23:45:67:89:ab in colon (:) separated format:
asnpc-id 01:23:45:67:89:ab
bind

Binds the ASN paging controller service to a logical IP interface and configures the maximum number of subscribers allowed within a service.

ip_address

Specifies the IP address of the interface to which the service is to be bound in IPv4 dotted-decimal or IPv6 colon-separated notation.

max-subscribers max_subs

is an integer from 0 through 3000000.


Usage:

Use this command to associate the service with a specific logical IP address and to provide the identity of the ASN paging controller as either the domain name of the ASN paging controller service or the IP address. This command also configures the maximum number of subscribers allowed with this service.


Example:
The following command binds the ASN paging controller service to a logical interface with an IP address of 10.2.3.4 and a limit of 250000 subscribers:
bind address 10.2.3.4

max-retransmission

Configures the maximum number of times the system attempts retransmission of R6 control packets to communicate with an unresponsive BS.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

ASN PC-LR


Privilege:

Administrator


Syntax 
max-retransmission retrydefault max-retransmission
default

Sets the maximum number of retransmission counter to 3 for R6 control packets within a specific ASN paging controller service.

retry

Configures the maximum number of retransmission attempts of R6 control packets to the BS before marking it as unresponsive as an integer from 1 through 10. Default: 3


Usage:

Use this command to configure the number of retransmission attempts of R6 control packets to the BS before marking it as unresponsive.


Example:
The following command configures the system to attempt 2 tries to send R6 control packets to BS:
max-retransmission 2
paging-announce

Configures the number of seconds to wait before sending a paging announcement messages to the MS.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Syntax 
paging-announce timeout durationdefault paging-announce timeout
default

Sets the paging announcement timeout to 10 seconds.

duration

Specifies the maximum duration in seconds to wait for sending a paging announce to the MS as an integer from 1 through 1000. Default: 10


Usage:

Use this command to configure the number of seconds for the ASN paging controller services to wait before sending a paging announcement if there is no data communication.


Example:
The following command configures the paging announce timeout value of 500 seconds:
paging-announce timeout 500
paging-group

Creates or removes the Paging-Group Identifier within a specific ASN paging controller service.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

ASN PC-LR


Privilege:

Administrator

paging-group id paging_group_id paging node id< mac-addr >addr< ip-addr >[mode {non-legacy | legacy}][ -noconfirm ]no paging-group id paging_group_id
no

Disables or removes the paging group identifier from a specific ASN paging controller service.

id paging_group_id

Configures the paging group identifier and other parameters within a specific ASN paging controller service.

This is a logical network identifier for the serving BS or other network entity that retains MS service and operational information or administers paging activity for the MS while it is in idle mode

paging_group_idis an integer from 1 through 65535.

-noconfirm

Executes the command without any additional prompt and confirmation from the user.

DANGER:

If you use this keyword option with no paging-group id paging_group_id command, the paging group id paging_group_id is deleted and disabled with all active or inactive configurations in a paging group. There are no prompts, warning, or confirmations.


Usage:

Use this command to enter, enable, or disable the Paging Group Identifier Configuration mode functionality within a specific ASN paging controller service.

IMPORTANT:

Configure a maximum of 32 paging groups 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

Configures the addresses of trusted anchor ASN-GW peers. These are the peers with which a specified ASN Paging Controller and Location Registry service will allow R4 control and data path registration.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

ASN PC-LR


Privilege:

Administrator


Syntax 
[ no ] peer-asngw
address ip_address[id <MAC> | mode [legacy | non-legacy ]]
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 in IPv4 dotted-decimal or IPv6 colon-separated notation.


Usage:

Use this command to create trusted peer anchor ASN GWs with a specific ASN PC/LR service to establish R4 control and data path registration.

There is support for 6-byte ASNPC ID in the source or destination ID TLV, and for the Anchor GW and Authenticator IDs.

On receipt of an idle mode entry request message, the ASN PC/LR service checks the anchor DPF/authenticator. If the Anchor DPF/Authenticator ASN GW address received in the idle mode entry request message is not there, (or not configured in the peer list), the ASN PC/LR service sends the idle mode entry response message with a Failure Indication TLV with an unspecified error code.

Configure a maximum of 32 ASN GWs with this command.


Example:
The following command adds the anchor ASN GW with an IP address of 10.2.3.4 as a trusted peer within an ASN PC service.
peer-asngw address 10.2.3.4
peer-asnpc

Configures the peer Anchor Paging Controller(s) in this ASN PC/LR service.

Platform:

ASR 5000

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 the trusted peer anchor ASN PC/LR.

id mac_address

Specifies the MAC address of the trusted peer system running the ASN paging controller and location registry service.

mac_address is the 6-byte MAC address of the paging controller (trusted R4 ASNGW peer) 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 the ASN paging controller and location registry service in IPv4 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 an Anchor PC to the 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.

Platform:

ASR 5000

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

Specifies that the system is to drop incoming packets containing new session requests. Default: disabled

reject

Specifies that the system processes new session request messages and responds with a reject message. Default: enabled


Usage:

Configure congestion policies at the service-level. When congestion control functionality is enabled at the 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 before the system re-attempts to send R6 control packets to the BS.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

ASN PC-LR


Privilege:

Administrator


Syntax 
retransmission-timeout < duration >[ no | default ] retransmission-timeout
default

Sets the timeout duration to 3 seconds for retransmission of R6 control packets.

no

Disables or removes the configured timeout duration for retransmission of R6 control packets.

duration

Specifies the maximum time (in seconds) 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 an integer from 1 through 1000. Default: 3


Usage:

Use this command in conjunction with the max-retransmission command 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 amount of time for the ASN paging controller service to set up a connection with the BS before it marks the BS as unreachable.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

ASN PC-LR


Privilege:

Administrator


Syntax 
setup-timeout durationdefault setup-timeout
default

Sets the timeout to 60 seconds to set up a connection with BS.

duration

Specifies the maximum allowable time (in seconds) for the ASN paging controller service to set up the R6 connection with BS before it marks the BS as unreachable.

duration is an integer between 1 and 100000. Default: 60


Usage:

Use this command to configure the maximum 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.


Example:
The following command configures an ASN paging controller service to mark a BS after waiting for 100 seconds before it marks it as unreachable:
setup-timeout 100
