Configuring Network-based UPF Selection

This section describes how to configure network-based UPF selection.

Use the following commands to configure the network-based UPF Selection.

config 
   profile network-element upfupf_name 
      node-id  node_id_value 
      n4-peer-address ipv4  ipv4_address 
      n4-peer-address ipv6  ipv6_address 
      n4-peer-port  port_number 
      dual-stack-transport { true | false }  
      upf-group-profile upf_group_profile_name 
      dnn-list dnn_list 
      priority priority_value 
      capacity capacity_value 
      end 

NOTES:

  • network-element upf upf_name —Specify the UPF profile name.

  • node-id node_id_value —Specify the Node ID of the UPF node.

  • n4-peer-address ipv4 ipv4_address —Specify the IPv4 address.

  • n4-peer-address ipv6 ipv6_address —Specify the IPv6 address.

  • dual-stack-transport { true | false } —Enable the dual stack feature that allows you to specify IPv6 or IPv4 address. Specify true to enable this feature.

  • upf-group-profile upf_group_profile_name —Specify the UPF group profile name.

  • dnn-list dnn_list —Specify the DNN list supported by UPF node.

  • priority priority_value —Specify the static priority relative to other UPFs. This is used for load balancing. Must be an integer in the range of 0–65535. Default value is 1.

  • capacity capacity_value — Specify the capacity relative to other UPFs. This is used for load balancing. Must be an integer in the range of 0–65535. Default value is 10.

Sample Configuration

Following is a sample configuration.

config
profile network-element upf UP1
 node-id      upf1@sgw.com
 upf-group-profile G1
 dnn-list [dnn1 dnn2]
 priority 20
 capacity 65535
 end
