PCC-AF-Service Configuration
Mode Commands
The PCC-AF-Service
Configuration mode provides a mechanism to IPCF to manage the external
interfaces required for media and application function management.
The PCC-AF-Service manages Rx interface
which would be based on the dictionary used.
An Application Function
(AF) provides Application (layer 7) proxies for client server applications.
It also provides enforcement of operator and subscriber QoS, Charging,
and Security policies to subscriber session and represents the network
element that supports applications that require dynamic policy and/or
charging control. In the IMS model, the AF is implemented by the
Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF).
IMPORTANT:
This
configuration mode is supported from StarOS Release 12.1 onward.
IMPORTANT:
The commands or keywords/variables
that are available are dependent on platform type, product version,
and installed license(s).
associate pcc-service
This command is used
to associate a pre-configured PCC-Service with a PCC-AF-Service
for IPCF configuration.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
associate pcc-service pcc_svc_name
[no] associate pcc-service
no
Removes/disassociate
the configured PCC-service from this PCC-AF-Service instance configured
for IPCF configuration.
pcc_svc_name
Specifies the name of
a pre-configured PCC-service configured in Context Configuration mode
for IPCF configuration.
The pcc_svc_name is
name of a predefined PCC-Service instance and must be an alphanumerical
string from 1 through 63 characters.
Usage:
Use this command to
associate a pre-configured PCC-Service instance for IPCF configuration.
IMPORTANT:
For more information
on PCC-Service configuration, refer PCC-Service Configuration Mode
Commands.
Example:
Following command binds
a PCC-Service named
pcc_svc1 with
in a PCC-AF-Service.
associate pcc-service pcc_svc1
Following command removes
an associated PCC-Service named
pcc_svc1 from
a PCC-AF-Service.
no associate pcc-service pcc_svc1
diameter dictionary
This command is used
to assign a Diameter dictionary for Rx messaging with
a PCC-AF-Service for IPCF configuration.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
diameter dictionary {r8-standard | standard}
default diameter dictionary
default
Sets the Diameter Rx dictionary to
default dictionary r8-standard (3GPP
Rel. 8 standard) for a PCC-AF-Service instance configured for IPCF
configuration.
r8-standard
Default: Enabled
Sets the Diameter Rx dictionary to
be used by a PCC-AF-Service instance configured for IPCF configuration
over Rx interface
to 3GPP Rel. 8 standard.
standard
Default: Disabled
Sets the Diameter Rx dictionary to
be used by a PCC-AF-Service instance configured for IPCF configuration
over Rx interface
to 3GPP Rel. 7 standard.
Usage:
Use this command to
configure the PCC-AF-Service to determine which of the 3GPP dictionary
to be used for Rx interface
messaging for media and application function management.
Example:
Following command sets
the PCC-AF-Service to use 3GPP Rel. 8 standard dictionary for
Rx interface and
application function management related messaging in a PCC-AF-Service.
default diameter dictionary
diameter origin end-point
This command is used
to bind/associate a pre-configured Diameter host/realm (AF)
over Rx interface with
a PCC-AF-Service to be used for subscriber service control and AF
profile management.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Syntax
diameter origin endpoint dia_endpoint_name
no diameter origin endpoint
no
Removes the associated
Diameter Origin Endpoint configuration from PCC-AF-Service instance
configured for IPCF configuration.
any
Sets the PCC-AF-Service
instance to use any available AF node over Rx interface for
AF support.
dia_endpoint_name
The dia_endpoint_name is
a predefined Diameter origin endpoint node and must be an alphanumerical
string from 1 through 63 characters.
Usage:
Use this command to
bind the AF node over Rx interface
by associating a pre-configured Diameter Origin Endpoint with a
PCC-AF-Service.
The Diameter origin
endpoint must be a pre-configured instance in the Context Configuration
Mode. For more information on Diameter origin endpoint configuration,
refer Diameter Endpoint
Configuration Mode Commands chapter.
Example:
Following command associates
a pre-configured Diameter endpoint node configuration named
af_pcscf1 with
a PCC-AF-Service for AF profile management.
diameter origin endpoint af_pcscf1
Following command removes
the pre-associated Diameter endpoint node configuration named
af_pcscf1 with
a PCC-AF-Service.
no diameter origin endpoint
end
Exits the current
configuration mode and returns to the Exec mode.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Usage:
Use this command to
return to the Exec mode.
exit
Exits the current
mode and returns to the parent configuration mode.
Privilege:
Security Administrator,
Administrator
Usage:
Use this command to
return to the parent configuration mode.
