HLR Configuration Mode Commands

The HLR Configuration Mode provides the commands and parameters to configure the home location register (HLR) node that is the database containing the subscriber profile and connection information for a specific GPRS/UMTS core network.

In this mode, your prompt will look similar to:
[<context_name>]hostname(config-map-service-<svr_name>-hlr)#

The HLR Configuration Mode is a sub-mode derived from the MAP Configuration Mode which controls the MAP service configuration. It is the MAP service that provides the application-layer protocol support used to connect the HLR to other nodes in the network such as the SGSN.

When the mode is accessed, the command line will appear similar to
[<ctx_name>]asr5000(config-map-service-<service_name>-hlr)#

IMPORTANT:

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

acn-version-retention

This command configures the ACN version retention method.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

SGSN


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax 
acn-version-retention { per-imsi-prefix | per-subscriber }default acn-version-retention
default

Returns the configuration to the default value: retains the version information per IMSI prefix.

per-imsi-prefix

Retain ACN version information, for communication with the HLR, on a per IMSI prefix basis.

per-subscriber

Retain ACN version information, for communication with the HLR, on a per buscriber basis.


Usage:

By default, the SGSN sends ACN version 3 SAI (service area identity) to the HLR. If the SGSN receives an error message indicating that the HLR does not support that version, then the SGSN tries again with an ACN version 2 SAI. Next time the SGSN communicates with that HLR, it retains that version information and version persists based on the IMSI prefix.

Use this command to enable the SGSN to retain version according to subscriber.

Example

Example
Configure the SGSN to retain version information according to the IMSI prefix:
default acn-version-retention
end

Exits the current configuration mode and returns to the Exec mode.

Product:

SGSN


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax 
end

Usage:

Return to the Exec mode.

exit

Exits the current configuration mode and returns to the MAP Service configuration mode.

Product:

SGSN


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax 
exit

Usage:

Return to the MAP Service configuration mode.

imsi

This command sets up IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) -based configuration. The IMSI prefix includes the nobile country code (MCC) and the mobile network code (MNC).

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

SGSN


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax 
[ no ] imsi { any | starts-with prefix_number } { imsi [ sgsn-source-address-format
point-code-ssn [ source-ssn ssn ] | isdn isdn_number | mobile-global-title mgt_number [ max-gt-address-len  max_gt_address ] | point-code pt-code } }
no

Removes the imsi-prefix definition from the configuration.

any

Configures acceptance of any IMSI prefix.

start-with prefix_number

Selects IMSI prefix-based routing.

prefix_number is a string of up to 15 integers.

imsi

Enables configurable default behavior for routing.

Entering imsi with the any keyword preserves the default behavior and the E.212 address is used as a destination address and the MAP request will be sent towards the HLR.

If this keyword is not used with the any keyword, then the MAP request will be rejected.

isdn isdn_number

Defines the E.164 number of the HLR.

isdn_number is a string of integers, up to 15.

mobile-global-title mgt_number [ max-gt-address-len max_gt_address_length ]

Defines the mobile global title address that the MCC/MNC portion of the IMSI will be converted to. If the maximum GT address length is specified (optional) and if the length of the MGT string is greater than defined, then the least significant digits will be omitted.

mgt_number is a string of digits, up to 18 digits in length.

max_gt_address is an integer from 1 to 32.

point-code pt-code source-ssn ssn

Defines the point code for the HLR.

pt-code is a string of digits, up to 11; SS7 format preferred.

sgsn-source-address-format point-code-ssn

Selects HLR call process according to SCCP calling party address of the SGSN. This will be filled at MAP level, including the ITU point code address.

source-ssn ssn

Defines the SSN of the source that will be used for the call filtering.

ssn: Must be an integer from 1 to 255.


Usage:

Routing will be done according to IMSI parameters configured with this command or according to the mobile global title address (replacing the MCC/MNC portion of the IMSI) is so specified.

Example

Example
imsi starts-with 3 isdn 123456789 sgsn-source-address-form at
point-code-ssn
policy routing

This command configures the policy for the routing of MAP messages. If this command is not configured or disabled (with the default keyword), then routing is done according to the configuration of the IMSI parameters.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

SGSN


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax 
policy routing { hlr-isdn | ms-isdn }default policy routingno policy routing
default

Resets the policy routing to the system default, disabled.

no

Removes the policy routing configuration from the system.

hlr-isdn

Selects HLR-ISDN based routing.

ms-isdn

Selects mobile station (MS)-ISDN based routing.


Usage:

Use this command to set the policy for routing MAP messages.

Example

Example
policy routing hlr-isdn
