IMEI Profile Configuration Mode

IMEI Profile Configuration Mode
 
 
The IMEI profile configuration mode defines a set of parameters controlling the SGSN behavior when a Request is received from a device in the specified IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) range. An IMEI profile is a key element in the Operator Policy feature and an IMEI profile is not used or valid unless it is associated with an IMEI range and this association is specified in an operator policy (see the Operator Policy Configuration Mode Commands chapter elsewhere in the Command Line Interface Reference).
Essentially, an IMEI profile is a template which groups a set of device-specific commands that may be applicable to one or more IMEIs. The same IMEI profile can be associated with multiple IMEI ranges and multiple operator policies.
An SGSN supports a total of 1000 IMEI profile configurations.
When this mode is accessed, the command prompt should resemble:
[local]asr5000(imei-profile-<profile_name>)#
 
 
associate
Associate an APN remap table with this IMEI profile.
Note that an APN remap table can be associated with an IMEI profile before the table has actually been created/configured.
Product
SGSN
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
associate apn-remap-table table_name
no associate apn-remap-table
no
Disables the configured remap table association.
table_name
Define the name of an APN remap table that is to be associated with this IMEI profile for call routing based in IMEI.
Usage
Use this command to associate an APN remap table with this IMEI profile. With such an association, it is possible to override an APN call-routing based on an IMEI.
For example, with the APN exceptions defined in an APN remap table (refer to the APN Remap Table Configuration Mode chapter), a blank APN or an incorrect APN could be overriden. So during PDP Activation for in incoming call, the call could be rerouted based on an IMEI in the range defined for the IMEI profile.
Example
Associate the APN remap table ‘remapHO’ (remaps all calls with blank APNS to the head-office) to this IMEI profile:
associate apn-remap-table remapHO
 
blacklist
Blacklist all mobile devices that fit the IMEI definitions associated with this IMEI profile.
Product

Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
blacklist
remove blacklist
remove
Including this keyword with the command, removes the blacklist command from the IMEI profile configuration.
Usage
Blacklists subscribers whose devices bear IMEI that match the defined IMEI range for this profile.
Example
Use this command to black list all subscribers with IMEI that fall within the range set for this IMEI profile:
blacklist
 
description
Define a descriptive string relevant to the specific APN profile.
Product
SGSN
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
description description
remove description
remove
Removes the configured description from this APN profile.
description
Enter an alphanumeric string of 1 to 100 alphanumeric characters. The string may include spaces, punctuation, and case-sensitive letters if the string is enclosed in double quotes ( “ ).
Usage
Define information that identifies this particularly APN profile.
Example
Indicate that this IMEI profile IMEIprof1 is to be used for customers in the United Kingdom and that the profile:
description “IMEIprof1 defines routing actions based on IMEI for customers in the UK.”
 
direct-tunnel
Instruct the SGSN to enable/disable a direct tunnel between the RNC and the GGSN based on the IuPS service configuration.
Product
SGSN
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
direct-tunnel check-iups-service
no direct-tunnel
no direct-tunnel
This command instructs the SGSN to disable the direct tunnel function between the GGSN and the RNC.
Usage
Direct tunnel is enabled by default on the GGSN and often on the RNC. This leaves it to the SGSN’s configuration to actually enable or disable a direct tunnel.
With the SGSN, the options for configuring a direct tunnel are complex -- enable/disable on the basis of APNs, or RNCs, or GGSNs, or on the basis of the IMEI range. Refer to the Enhanced Feature Configuration Guide for configuration details.
Example
Assuming the IuPS service configuration has enabled DT for associated RNCs, then use this command to enable DT from the RNC to the GGSN associated with this IMEI profile:
direct tunnel check-iups-service
 
end
Exits the current configuration mode and returns to the Exec mode.

Syntax
end
Usage
Return to the Exec mode.
 
exit
Exits the current configuration mode and returns to the context configuration mode.
Product

Privilege

Syntax
exit
Usage
Move to the previous configuration mode.
 
ggsn-address
Identify the target GGSN for traffic being managed by this IMEI profile.
Product
SGSN
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
ggsn-address IPv4/IPv6_address
IPv4/IPv6_address
Enter the IP address of the target GGSN. Enter the address in either standard IPv4 dotted decimal format or in standard IPv6 colon notation format.
Usage
Use this command to define the IP address of the target GGSN to be associated with this IMEI profile.
Example
The following command identifes the address of the GGSN associated with this IMEI profile as 123.123.11.1
ggsn-address 123.123.11.1
