PCC-Policy-Service
Configuration Mode Commands
The PCC-Policy-Service
Configuration mode provides a mechanism for the Intelligent Policy
Control Function (IPCF) to manage the external interfaces required
for policy authorization purpose between IPCF and PCEF Bearer Binding
and Event Reporting Function (BBERF). The PCC-Policy-Service manages Gx/Gx based
on the Diameter dictionary used.
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

Administrator
Syntax
associate pcc-service pcc_service_name
[no] associate pcc-service

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
