Network Service Entity- IP Local Configuration Mode Commands

The Network Service Entity (NSE) - IP Local configuration mode is a sub-mode of the Global Configuration mode. This sub-mode configures the local endpoint for NS/IP with the commands and parameters to define the management functionality for the Gb interface between a BSS and an SGSN over a 2.5G GPRS IP network connection.

Upon entering this mode, the prompt will appear in a manner similar to:

[local]hostname(nse-ip-local)#

default

Resets the selected timer configuration to its default value.

sns-guard timeout_val

Sets the SNS-guard timer which is used in the auto-learn procedure to clean-up learnt BSC/NSE informtation. Timeout value is in seconds.

timeout_val: Enter an integer from 1 to 300. Default is 60.

sns-prov timeout_val

Sets the SNS procedure timeout value in seconds.

timeout_val: Enter an integer from 1 to 10. Default is 5.
