eGTP Service Configuration Mode Commands
 
The eGTP Service Configuration Mode is used to create and manage Evolved GPRS Tunneling Protocol (eGTP) interface types and associated parameters.

bind { ipv4-address ipv4_address [ ipv6-address ipv6_address ] | ipv6-address ipv6_address [ ipv4-address iv4p_address ] }
Binds the service to an interface with an IPv4 address, IPv6 address or both.
ipv4-address ipv4_address [ ipv6-address ipv6_address ]: Binds this service to the IPv4 address of a configured interface. Optionally, bind the service to a configured interface with an IPv6 address. ipv4_address must be entered using IPv4 dotted-decimal notation. ipv6_address must be entered using IPv6 colon-separated notation.
ipv6-address ipv6_address [ ipv4-address ipv4_address ]: Binds this service to the IPv6 address of a configured interface. Optionally, bind the service to a configured interface with an IPv4 address. ip6_address must be entered using IPv6 colon-separated notation. ipv4_address must be entered using IPv4 dotted-decimal notation.
echo-interval seconds
Configures the duration (in seconds) between the sending of echo messages as an integer from 60 through 3600. Default: 60
ip qos-dscp { forwarding_type }
Specifies the IP QoS DSCP per-hop behavior to be marked on the outer header of signalling packets originating from the LTE component. This is a standards-based feature (RFC 2597). The following forwarding types are supported:
af11: Designates the use of Assured Forwarding 11 per-hop behavior. This is the default setting.
af12: Designates the use of Assured Forwarding 12 per-hop behavior.
af13: Designates the use of Assured Forwarding 13 per-hop behavior.
af21: Designates the use of Assured Forwarding 21 per-hop behavior.
af22: Designates the use of Assured Forwarding 22 per-hop behavior.
af23: Designates the use of Assured Forwarding 23 per-hop behavior.
af31: Designates the use of Assured Forwarding 31 per-hop behavior.
af32: Designates the use of Assured Forwarding 32 per-hop behavior.
af33: Designates the use of Assured Forwarding 33 per-hop behavior.
af41: Designates the use of Assured Forwarding 41 per-hop behavior.
af42: Designates the use of Assured Forwarding 42 per-hop behavior.
af43: Designates the use of Assured Forwarding 43 per-hop behavior.
be: Designates the use of Best Effort forwarding per-hop behavior.
ef: Designates the use of Expedited Forwarding per-hop behavior typically dedicated to low-loss, low-latency traffic.
The assured forwarding behavior groups are listed in the table below.

‌
Traffic marked with a higher class is given priority during congestion periods. If congestion occurs to traffic with the same class, the packets with the higher AF value are dropped first.
max-retransmissions num
Configures the maximum number of retries for packets as an integer from 0 through 15. Default: 4
path-failure detection-policy echo
Enables session cleanup upon path failure detected via ECHO timeout toward a peer. Default: enabled
If disabled, there is no session cleanup upon path failure detected via ECHO timeout toward a peer; however, SNMP trap/logs will continue to indicate path failure.
retransmission-timeout seconds
Configures the control packet (echo message) retransmission timeout in GTP (in seconds) as an integer from 1 through 20. Default: 5
Usage
Use this command to configure GTP-C settings for the current service. This interface assumes the characteristics of an S11 reference point on the S-GW or MME.
Example
The following command binds the service to a GTP-C interface with an IP address of 112.334.556.778:
gtpc bind address 112.334.556.778
interface-type
Configures the interface type used by this service.
Product
MME, P-GW, S-GW
Privilege
Administrator
Syntax
interface-type { interface-mme | interface-pgw-ingress | interface-sgsn | interface-sgw-egress | interface-sgw-ingress }
{ interface-mme | interface-pgw-ingress | interface-sgsn | interface-sgw-egress | interface-sgw-ingress }
interface-mme: Specifies that the interface has the characteristics of an eGTP MME S11 reference point to/from an S-GW or an eGTP MME Sv reference point to/from a Mobile Switching Center (MSC).
interface-pgw-ingress: Specifies that the interface has the characteristics of an eGTP P-GW S5/S8 reference point from an S-GW. The interface assumes the characteristics of either a GTP-C (control Plane) or GTP-U (user plane) reference point.
interface-sgsn: Specifies that the interface has the characteristics of an eGTP S-GW S4 reference point to/from an SGSN.
interface-sgw-egress: Specifies that the interface has the characteristics of an eGTP S-GW S5/S8 reference point to an eGTP P-GW. The interface assumes the characteristics of either a GTP-C (control Plane) or GTP-U (user plane) reference point.
interface-sgw-ingress: Specifies that the interface has the characteristics of:
•
an eGTP-C S-GW S11 reference point from the MME.
•
an eGTP-U S-GW S1-U reference point from the eNodeB.
Usage
Use this command to specify the type of interface this service uses. By configuring this command, the interface takes on the characteristics of the selected type.
Example
The following command configures the interface bound to this service to maintain the characteristics of an eGTP-C S-GW S11 reference point from an MME:
interface-type interface-sgw-ingress
validation-mode
Configures the type of validation to be performed on messages received by this service.
Product
P-GW
Privilege
Administrator
Syntax
validation-mode { custom1 | standard }
default validation-mode
default
Returns the command to the default setting of standard.
{ custom1 | standard }
custom1: Specifies that the message should be validated based on a vendor-specific set of mandatory elements.
standard: Specifies that the message should be validated based on the set of mandatory elements as defined in 3GPP 29.274.
Usage
Use this command to specify the type of validation performed on messages received by this service. The information elements contained in messages have mandatory elements and conditional elements. The standard set of elements, as defined by 3GPP 29.274 is checked if this command is set to “standard”. The custom1 setting is for a vendor-specific set of mandatory elements.
Example
The flowering command sets the validation mode for incoming messages to standard:
validation-mode standard
