PDIF Service Configuration Mode Commands

The PDIF Service Configuration Mode is used to configure the properties required for a mobile station to interface with a Packet Data Interworking Function (PDIF).

IMPORTANT:

The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).

aaa attribute

Sets the system attributes for AAA messages.

Syntax 
aaa attribute { 3gpp2-bsid string | 3gpp2-service-option integer | calling-station-id integer 
| 3gpp2-serving-pcf ip-address }no aaa attributedefault aaa attribute
3gpp2-service-option integer
no

Removes a previously configured AAA attribute.

default

Returns the specified aaa attribute to the original default system settings.

3gpp2-bsid string

Specifies the base-station ID and consists of the SID + NID + CELLID.

string must contain 12 hexadecimal upper-case ASCII characters.

3gpp2-service-option integer

Specifies the radius attribute value when sending authentication and accounting messages as an integer from 0 through 32767. Default: 4095

calling-station-id integer

Specifies the calling station phone number as a sequence of 1 through 15 digits.

3gpp2-serving-pcf ip-address

Use this command to generate attribute values without creating a new ASR 5000ASR 5500 image.


Usage:

If the RADIUS protocol is being used, accounting messages can be sent over a AAA interface to the RADIUS server.

3gpp2-serving-pcf attribute value (if configured) is sent in both RADIUS authentication and accounting messages. If the attribute value is not configured (or explicitly “not configured” using the no keyword), RADIUS attributes are still included with just type and length. This is because inclusion/exclusion of RADIUS attributes are still controlled through the dictionary, not via the CLI.


Example:
The following command identifies the base station ID:
aaa attribute 3gpp2-bsid 0ab2389acb3
aaa authentication

Sets the aaa authentication for first and second phase authentication when multiple authentication is configured on the system.

Syntax 
aaa authentication { { first-phase | second-phase } |  { context-name name aaa-group name } }no aaa authentication { first-phase | second-phase }
no aaa authentication { first-phase | second-phase }

Removes any existing authentication configuration.

first-phase context-name name aaa-group name
Specifies the context name and the aaa group name configured in the context for the first authentication phase.

IMPORTANT:

First phase authentication is mandatory when multiple authentication is configured on the system.

  • context-name name: Specifies the context where the aaa server group is defined as an alphanumeric string of 1 through 79 characters.
  • aaa-group name: Specifies the name of the aaa-group to be used for authentication as an alphanumeric string of 1 through 79 characters.
second-phase context-name name aaa-group name
Specifies the context name and the aaa group name configured in the context for the second authentication phase.
  • context-name name: Specifies the context where aaa server group is defined as an alphanumeric string of 1 through 79 characters.
  • aaa-group name: Specifies the name of the aaa-group to be used for authentication as an alphanumeric string of 1 through 63 characters.

Usage:

Two phase-authentication happens in IKEv2 setup for setting up the IPSec session. The first authentication uses Diameter AAA EAP method and second authentication uses RADIUS AAA authentication. The same AAA context may be used for both authentications. PDIF service allows you to specify only a single AAA group, which could normally be used for the first authentication method.

A given AAA group only supports either Diameter or RADIUS authentication. If the NAI in the first authentication is different from NAI in the second authentication each NAI can point to a different domain profile in the PDIF. Each domain profile may be configured with each AAA group, one for Diameter and the other for RADIUS.


Example:
Use the following to configure first-phase authentication for an aaa group named aaa-10 in the PDIF context:
first-phase context-name
pdif aaa-group aaa-10

max-sessions number

Specifies the maximum number of sessions to be supported by the service as an integer from 0 to 3000000. Default: 3000000


Usage:

Binds the IP address used as the connection point for establishing the IKEv2 sessions to the crypto template. It can also define the number of sessions the PDIF can support.


Example:
The following command binds a service with the IP address 13.1.1.1 to the crypto template T1 and sets the maximum number of sessions to 2000000:
bind address 13.1.1.1
crypto-template T1 max-sessions 200000

aaa attribute 3gpp2-service-option

Configures the default value 4095.

duplicate-session-detection

Configures the default to be NAI-based.

hss { failure-handling mac-address-validation-failure | mac-address-validation | update-profile }

Configures the HSS server defaults:

failure-handling mac-address-validation-failure: By default, the MAC address is validated by IMS-Sh interface.
  • mac-address-validation: By default, validating the MAC address is disabled.
  • update-profile: By default, updating the PDIF profile is disabled.
ip source-violation ( drop-limit | period }
Configures IP source-violation detection defaults.
  • drop-limit: Default number of ip source violations permitted in detection period before the call is dropped is 10.
  • period: Default detection period is 120 seconds.
setup-timeout

Default call setup time limit is 60 seconds.

subscriber name

Configures the default subscriber name. name is a string of 1-127 characters.

username mac-address-stripping

Default is to disable stripping the MAC address from the username.


Usage:

Configures the default settings for a given parameter.


Example:
Use the following example to configure the default call setup time limit:
default setup-timeout
duplicate-session-detection

Configures the PDIF to detect duplicate call sessions using old IMSI or NAI addresses and clear old call information.

Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax 
[ no | default ] duplicate-session-detection { imsi-based | nai-based }
no

Stops duplicate session detection.

default

Configures the default setting, which is NAI-based detection.

imsi-based

Configures the PDIF to detect duplicate call sessions based on the IMSI address.

nai-based

Configures the PDIF to detect duplicate call sessions based on the NAI address. This is the default setting.


Usage:

If an MS leaves the Wi-Fi coverage area and subsequently comes back online, it may initiate a new session setup procedure. After both the device authentication with HSS and the subscriber authentication with AAA server are completed, PDIF runs the internal mechanism to see whether there was any other session bound with the same IMSI. If an old session is detected, PDIF starts clearing this old session by sending a proxy-MIP Deregistration request to the HA. PDIF resumes new session setup by sending a proxy-MIP registration request. When the old session is aborted, PDIF sends Diameter STR messages and RADIUS Acct STOP messages to corresponding AAA servers.

PDIF allows duplicate session detection based on either the NAI or IMSI addresses. When detecting based on NAI, it is the first-phase (device authentication) NAI that is used.


Example:
The following command configures duplicate session detection to use IMSI addressing:
duplicate-session-detection
imsi

no

Removes a previously configured HSS profile.

default

Resets the defaults for this command.

failure-handling mac-address-validation-failure

Configures how the HSS is to handle errors.

If HSS returns a list of MAC addresses and if PDIF fails to match the subscriber MAC address against the list, the session is always terminated.

action { continue | terminate }
Configures the action to be performed depending on the failure type.
  • continue: Ignores a mac-address-validation-failure and continue the session.
  • terminate: Terminates the session on a mac-address-validation-failure.
mac-address-validation

If mac-address-validation is enabled, the PDIF queries the HSS for a list of MAC addresses associated with the Mobile Directory Number (MDN). Default: Disabled

update-profile

Update the HSS with the subscriber profile. Default: Disabled


Usage:

An HSS provides MAC address validation and store part of the subscriber profile. This command enables or disables validation and profile updates, and configures how the system responds to failures: terminate or continue a session.

An ims-sh-service and Diameter interface need to be configured to communicate with the HSS.


Example:
The following example enables mac-address validation:
hss mac-address-validation
ims-sh-service

Associates the IMS-Sh-service parameters.

name

Names the IMS-Sh-service in the pdif-service context.


Usage:

This command is used to name the IMS-Sh-service.


Example:
The following command names the IMS-Sh-service ims1:
ims-sh-service name imsi1
ip source-violation

Sets the parameters for IP source validation. Source validation is useful if packet spoofing is suspected or for verifying packet routing and labeling within the network.

Source validation requires that the source address of the received packets matches the IP address assigned to the subscriber (either statically or dynamically) during the session.

clear-on-valid-packet
clear-on-valid-packet

Configures the service to reset the reneg-limit and drop-limit counters after receipt of a properly addressed packet. Default: disabled

drop-limit num

Sets the number of allowed source violations within a detection period before forcing a call disconnect. If num is not specified, the value is set to the default.

num is an integer from 1 to 1000000. Default: 10

period secs

Sets the length of time (in seconds) for a source violation detection period to last.

If secs is not specified, the value is set to the default.

secs is an integer from 1 to1000000. Default: 120


Usage:

This function is intended to allow the operator to configure a network to prevent problems such as when a user gets handed back and forth between two PDIFs a number of times during a handoff scenario.

This function operates in the following manner:

When a subscriber packet is received with a source address violation, the system increments the IP source-violation drop-limit counter and starts the timer for the IP-source violation period. Every subsequent packet received with a bad source address during the IP-source violation period causes the drop-limit counter to increment.

For example, if the drop-limit is set to 10, after 10 source violations, the call is dropped. The period timer continues to count throughout this process.


Example:
The following command sets the drop limit to 15 and leaves the other values at their defaults:
ip source-violation
drop-limit 15
mobile-ip

Sets the MIP FA context for the specific PDIF service.
