How it Works
This section describes how this feature works:
-
In SMF-Ops-Center , you can configure GTPC-EP Geo endpoints for each rack in IMS and data racks.
-
In SMF-Ops-Center CLI, you can configure GTPC-EP Geo endpoints for each rack in IMS and DATA racks.
NoteThe optimization of GTPC messages can be applied to all four instances or a subset of instances of GTPC endpoints within these racks. A new element is added under the GTPC endpoints to configure a list of IP addresses where SMF and cnSGW-C service pods can route the GTPv2 messages over the IPC interface.
Upgrading and Enabling Inter-rack GTPC IPC
This section describes how to upgrade and enable the inter-rack GTPC IPC.
Before you configure, upgrade, and enable the GTPC IPC optimization on cnSGW-C and SMF interfaces, you must perform the following:
-
The inter-rack routing must be applied to the branched core network.
-
More configuration parameters such as GTPC, cnSGW-C, and SMF are enabled, when extra routes are added for supporting a new routable network across rack servers.
