default
Configures the default setting for this command.
Default: arp-priority-level to inter-user-priority mapping not applicable
no
Disables arp-priority-level to inter-user-priority mapping.
Usage
note_smallImportant: This command is for a customer-specific implementation to support IP-CAN policy control via Gx interface in PDSN, wherein the PCRF informs the subscriber's subscription level (such as gold, silver, bronze) to PDSN/PCEF via Priority-Level AVP, then PDSN maps the subscriber's subscription level to inter-user-priority and transmits it to PCF via A11 session update message. For more information on the use of this command contact your Cisco account representative.
cc-profile
This command configures the value of the Offline AVP sent to the PCRF based on the Charging Characteristics (CC) profile received from the SGSN.
Product

Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
cc-profile cc_profile_number [ to cc_profile_number_range_end ] map-to offline-avp { 0 | 1 }
{ default | no } cc-profile
default
Configures the default setting for this command.
Default: Deletes all previously configured mappings.
no
Deletes all previously configured mappings.
cc_profile_number
Specifies the CC profile number to map.
For example, 1 for Hot Billing.
cc_profile_number must be an integer from 0 through 15.
cc_profile_number_range_end
Specifies, for a range of CC profile numbers to map, the end number. That is, from cc_profile_number through cc_profile_number_range_end.
cc_profile_number_range_end must be an integer from 1 through 15.
map-to offline-avp { 0 | 1 }
Specifies to map the CC profile number(s) to the Offline AVP value sent to the PCRF.
0: Corresponds to the value DISABLE_OFFLINE (0).
1: Corresponds to the value ENABLE_OFFLINE (1).
Usage
Use this command to configure the CC Profile to Offline AVP value mapping. The Offline AVP’s value (DISABLE_OFFLINE (0), ENABLE_OFFLINE (1)) is derived based on the CC profile received from the SGSN as specified by this mapping.
The following example shows how this command can be configured multiple times:
cc-profile 1 to 2 map-to offline-avp 1
cc-profile 4 map-to offline-avp 0
cc-profile 8 map-to offline-avp 1
On configuring the above set of commands, the Offline AVP value is sent as 1 (Offline enabled) for the CC profiles 1 (Hot Billing), 2 (Flat Rate), and 8 (Post-Paid). And, as 0 (Offline disabled) for the CC profile 4 (Pre-paid).
When configuring this command, overlapping of CC profile numbers is not permitted. In the following example, after configuring the first command, which specifies to send the Offline AVP’s value as 1 (Offline enabled) for the CC profiles 1 through 15, the second command, which specifies to map CC profile 7, is not permitted:
cc-profile 1 to 15 map-to offline-avp 1
cc-profile 7 map-to offline-avp 0
Example
The following command specifies to send Offline AVP value as 1 (Offline enabled) for the CC profile 1 (Hot Billing):
cc-profile 1 map-to offline-avp 1
The following command specifies to delete all previously configured mappings:
no cc-profile

note_smallImportant: This keyword is for use with a customer-specific implementation, and will be available only if a valid license is installed.
default
Configures the default setting for this command.
Usage
Use this command to enable/disable custom reauth event triggers.
It is recommended that the preservation-changed and reactivation-changed triggers both be enabled. As, when the bearer goes into preservation mode with the preservation-changed trigger, the reactivation-changed trigger must also be enabled for the bearer to get reactivated subsequently.
If only the preservation-changed trigger is enabled, and the bearer goes into preservation mode, the bearer will never get reactivated. The reactivation triggers will be ignored. If only the reactivation-changed trigger is enabled, reactivation of the already active bearer does not take place, and the reactivation triggers are ignored.
Example
The following command disables all custom event triggers:

Usage
Use this command to add, update, or delete rows specified with a precedence from a Diameter host table or MSISDN prefix range table.
In the Rel. 7 Gx implementation, when the Gateway interworks with multiple PCRFs, the Gateway can configure the primary and secondary server based on the MSISDN-prefix range in the MSISDN prefix range table. Using this command, you can add a new prefix row into the MSISDN prefix table.
If a row with the precedence that you add already exists in a table, the existing prefix row is removed and the new row is inserted with the same precedence.
Example
The following command adds a row with precedence 12 in table 2 with primary host name as star_ims1 and secondary host name as star_ims2 to Diameter host table.
diameter host-select row-precedence 12 table 2 host star_ims1 secondary host star_ims2

[ default | no ] diameter host-select table
diameter host-select table { 1 | 2 } algorithm { ip-address-modulus | msisdn-modulus | round-robin }
table { 1 | 2 }: Specifies the Diameter host table to obtain the primary and secondary host name for PCRF.
algorithm { ip-address-modulus [ prefer-ipv4 | prefer-ipv6 ] | msisdn-modulus | round-robin }: Specifies the algorithm to select row from the Diameter host table.
Default: round-robin
ip-address-modulus [ prefer-ipv4 | prefer-ipv6 ]: This algorithm divides the IP address, in binary, of the subscriber by the number of rows in the table, and the remainder is used as an index into the specified table to select the row.
msisdn-modulus: This algorithm divides the MSISDN value in binary without the leading “+” of the subscriber by the number of rows in the table, and the remainder is used as an index in the specific table to select the row.
round-robin: This algorithm rotates all rows in the active table for selection of the row in round-robin fashion. If no algorithm is specified this is the default behavior.
note_smallImportant: The Round Robin algorithm is effective only over a large number of selections, and not at a granular level.
diameter host-select table prefix-table { 1 | 2 }
Specifies the MSISDN Prefix Range table to be used in case of MSISDN prefix range based PCRF discovery mechanism.
default
Applies the default setting for this command.
no
Removes previous configuration.
When no table is selected, the system will not communicate with any PCRF for new sessions.
Usage
Use this command to configure the Diameter host table and row selection methods to select host name or realm for PCRF.
When this command is used to change which table the system should be using, user must re-determine which E-PDF the system should be using for each subscriber. If a different E-PDF results from the configuration change in the table, the system will wait for all of the IMS sessions for the subscriber to be no longer active and then the system either closes/opens Gx sessions with the old/new PDFs respectively, or the system deactivates the PDP contexts of the subscriber.
Here is an example of how row selection is configured for three hosts that the system will use for load-balancing. Operator can configure six rows in a table, as follows.
In the above table, the three hosts are named 1, 2, and 3. When all hosts are working, the load will be distributed among all the three hosts. If host 1 fails, then the load will be distributed between the remaining two hosts. In this scenario, the modulo 6 results of 2 and 4 will return rows that have primary hosts but no working back-up host.
In the Rel. 7 Gx implementation, the GGSN/PCEF is required to discover and select an appropriate PCRF to establish control relationship at primary PDP context activation. The ip-address-modulus, msisdn-modulus, and round-robin algorithms are supported by the GGSN/PCEF for PCRF discovery. In addition, the active/standby and round-robin algorithms are used for selection between primary and secondary servers based on the MSISDN Prefix Range Table.
Example
The following command specifies table 1 with round-robin algorithm to select the rows with host name for E-PDF in Diameter host table.
