HLR Configuration Mode Commands

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)#
note_smallImportant: 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.
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
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).
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
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.
Product
SGSN
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
policy routing { hlr-isdn | ms-isdn }
default policy routing
no 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
policy routing hlr-isdn
