GTPv2 Support in the iWAG
Effective from Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S, the support for GPRS Tunneling Protocol Version 2 (GTPv2) is offered on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers as an enhancement to the GTPv1 offering in the iWAG solution that was introduced in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S. GTPv2 provides support for both the 4G and 3G mobile users, whereas GTPv1 provides support only for 3G mobile users.

Restrictions for GTPv2 of the iWAG
- The same APN name cannot be
configured in different APNs, for example:
Note
This restriction applies to GTPv1 as well.gtp n3-request 7 interval t3-response 1 interval echo-request 64 information-element rat-type wlan interface local GigabitEthernet1/3/0 apn 1 apn-name example.com #Same donamin name as apn2356, not supported, should be different ip address ggsn 98.0.7.13 default-gw 192.168.0.1 prefix-len 16 dns-server 192.168.255.253 dhcp-lease 3000 apn 2356 apn-name example.com #Same domain name as apn1, not supported, should be different ip address ggsn 98.0.7.14 default-gw 10.254.0.1 prefix-len 16 dns-server 10.254.255.253 dhcp-lease 3000 !
- The same pool cannot be
associated with different APNs. The PGW or GGSN must have different IPs for
pools configured on different domains, for example:
gtp n3-request 7 interval t3-response 1 interval echo-request 64 information-element rat-type wlan interface local GigabitEthernet1/3/0 apn 1 apn-name example.com ip address ggsn 98.0.7.13 default-gw 192.168.0.1 prefix-len 16 #different domain name but same pool ip; this is not supported dns-server 192.168.255.253 dhcp-lease 3000 apn 2356 apn-name example.com #Same domain name as apn1, not supported, should be different ip address ggsn 98.0.7.14 default-gw 192.168.0.1 prefix-len 16 #different domain name but same pool ip; this is not supported dns-server 10.254.255.253 dhcp-lease 3000 !
Information About GTPv2 in the iWAG
A GTP session with GTPv2 support uses more memory than a GTP session with GTPv1 support. GTPv2 support does not require any new AAA attributes. However, the new gtpv2 enum value for the Cisco-MPC-Protocol-Interface attribute is necessary to specify the use of GTPv2. The AAA server identifies a subscriber depending upon whether the subscriber profile is sent over GTPv1 tunnel or GTPv2 tunnel from the iWAG back to the Evolved Packet Core (EPC). The GTPv1 and GTPv2 sessions can exist simultaneously on the iWAG.
GTPv2 Configuration
All the configurations required for GTPv1 support are also needed for GTPv2 support.
RADIUS Configuration
The following configurations are required on the RADIUS server to differentiate between a GTPv1 subscriber and a GTPv2 subscriber:
subscriber-profile profile1 { # this is a GTPv2 profile access-accept { reply-msg "Default profile" cisco-avpair { "cisco-mn-service=ipv4" } cisco-avpair { "cisco-mpc-protocol-interface=gtpv2" } cisco-avpair { "cisco-service-selection=example.com" } cisco-avpair { "cisco-msisdn=4910000000" } 3gpp { imsi 406091000000000 } } } subscriber-profile profile2 { # this is a GTPv1 profile access-accept { reply-msg "Default profile" cisco-avpair { "cisco-mn-service=ipv4" } cisco-avpair { "cisco-mpc-protocol-interface=gtpv1" } cisco-avpair { "cisco-service-selection=example.com" } cisco-avpair { "cisco-msisdn=4900000000" } 3gpp { imsi 406090000000000 } } } sub-grp-mgr sub-grp1 { control-by round-robin group-profiles { subscriber-profile profile1 profile-priority 99 subscriber-profile profile2 profile-priority 98 } }
Intra-iWAG Roaming
Effective from Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S, both GTPv1 and GTPv2 support connected subscriber roaming across different access interfaces of the iWAG. GTPv1 and GTPv2 preserve and update their existing sessions to allow their data traffic to flow through the new ingress interfaces from the access network.
Configuration for the GTPv1 and GTPv2 Roaming Scenario
The initiator unclassified mac-address command must be configured on every iWAG access interface to support subscriber roaming between these interfaces. As shown in the following configuration, all the access interfaces must be specified under the GTP configuration before bringing up the IP subscriber sessions. If the access interface is not specified under the GTP, a subscriber’s roaming option is not enabled for that interface. Also, adding interfaces under the GTP after the sessions bring up fails subscriber roaming.
The following example shows the configuration for GTPv1 and GTPv2 roaming scenario:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/2 description To client facing interface ip address 192.1.1.1 255.255.0.0 negotiation auto service-policy type control ISG_GTP_CONTROL ip subscriber l2-connected initiator unclassified mac-address # must for roaming config initiator dhcp ! interface GigabitEthernet0/0/3 description To client facing interface ip address 192.2.1.1 255.255.0.0 negotiation auto service-policy type control ISG_GTP_CONTROL ip subscriber l2-connected initiator unclassified mac-address # must for roaming config initiator dhcp ! gtp n3-request 3 interval t3-response 10 interval echo-request 64 information-element rat-type wlan interface local GigabitEthernet1/3/0 apn 1200 apn-name example.com ip address ggsn 98.0.7.13 default-gw 192.168.0.1 prefix-len 16 dns-server 192.168.255.253 dhcp-lease 3000 interface access GigabitEthernet0/0/2 interface access GigabitEthernet0/0/3
