dscp_template_name- Enter an alphanumeric string of 1 to 64 characters, including dots (.), dashes (-), and forward slashes (/), to identify a unique instance of a DSCP marking template.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to associate a specific DSCP marking template with this IuPS service and associated Iu interface. The DSCP template provides a mechanism for differentiated services code point (DSCP) marking of control packets and signaling messages at the SGSN's M3UA level on the Iu interface. This DSCP marking enables the SGSN to perform classifying and managing of network traffic and to determine quality of service (QoS) for the interface to the IP network.
Examples
associate dscp-template downlink dscptemp1
no associate dscp-template downlink
blacklist-timeout-gtpu-bind-addresses
This command specifies the time period that a GTP-U bind address (loopback address) will not be used (is blacklisted) in RAB-Assignment requests after a RAB assignment request, with that GTP-U bind address, has been rejected by an RNC with the cause - Unspecified Error. This is a failure at the RNC's GTP-U IP interface.

Syntax
Syntax Description
empty-cr procedure reject [ default | no ] empty-cr procedure reject
default | no
Using either default or no with the command disables the rejection function and returns the system to the default behavior, which is to ignore receipt of the empty CRs.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to enable/disable the procedure for handling empty (not containing dataparameters) Connection Request (CR) messages.
This feature can be used in the following scenario: During 4G to 3G handovers, some Connection Requests from mobile subscribers might be ignored by the SGSN, even though their UE would display that the WCDMA was available. The RNC would send an SCCP Connection Request (CR) over the Iu interface to the SGSN. Normally, this message contains a RANAP message and GMM, but according to 3GPP and ITU Q.713 standards, it is permissible to send an SCCP CR without any data parameters. In such a situation, normally the SGSN would ignore these SCCP CR messages, because without these data parameters the SGSN would be unable to derive the DeMux key which is the basis for determining the Session Manager instance to be used for a subscriber. Using this feature allows the SGSN to send a Reject to the mobile subscriber when an "empty" SCCP CR is sent from their UE.

Syntax Description
force-authenticate consecutive-security-failure { inter-sgsn-rau | local-messages count frequency | non-local-messages count frequency } [ default | no ] force-authenticate consecutive-security-failure { inter-sgsn-rau | local-messages | non-local-messages }
default
Resets the values to defaults. Forced authentication is enabled for all the types of event procedures with the default values for determining frequency for authentication.
no
Disables the specified authentication configuration.
inter-sgsn-rau
Default: enabled
Enables/disables authentication for inter-SGSN RAU.
The SGSN does not remember previous inter-SGSN-RAU failures for a P-TMSI/RAI because the SGSN clears all contexts on the occurrence of an inter-SGSN-RAU security failure. So the next inter-SGSN-RAU can only be authenticated forcefully if it comes before the previous context is cleared. This type of forced authentication is enabled by default because this type of failure is fairly common.
local-messages count frequency
Default: 5
Enables/ disables authentication for local messages (such as local RAUs, Service Requests, Detach Requests, etc) . Consecutive security failures is fairly rare for local messages so the default count frequency is fairly high, 5. Setting the count frequency enables the feature and sets the number of consecurity local message security failures that must occur prior t o authentication being forced.
frequency: Enter an integer from 1 to 10.
non-local-messages count count
Default: 1
Enables/ disables authentication for non-local messages (such as inter-RAT RAUs and all types of attaches) . Consecutive security failures for non-local messages is fairly common so the default count frequency is 1. Setting the count frequency enables the feature and sets the number of consecurity non-local message security failures that must occur prior t o authentication being forced.
frequency: Enter an integer from 1 to 10.
Usage Guidelines
GMM authentication is optional for UMTS. When GMM authentication is skipped, the SGSN and the MS continue to re-use the latest keys exchanged during the most recent GMM authentication procedure. This can result in the SGSN and the MS going out of sync with the CK and IK currently in use. If a mismatch occurs when the MS continues to use the correct parameters (e.g., cksn or P-TMSI signature) in the next Iu and if the SGSN skips authentication on the Iu, then, usually, the security mode will timeout or be rejected because the MS will not be able to decipher or perform an integrity check on the network messages. This scenario results in a lot of useless signaling in the network. This command allows the operator to enable a forced GMM authentication that will either resolve this type of problem or avoid it. As well, the operator can configure a frequency of authentication that best meets their needs.

max-retransmissions number
Default: 5
Configures the maximum number of transmission retries for GTP-U packets.
number : Must be an integer from 0 through 15.
retransmission-timeout seconds
Default: 5
Configures the retransmission timeout for GTPU packets in seconds.
seconds : Must be an integer from 1 through 20.
sync-echo-with-peer
This keyword is applicable to the SGSN only.
This keyword enables the SGSN to synchronize path management procedures with the peer after a GTP service restart recovery.
After GTP service recovery, the SGSN restarts the timers for GTP echo transmission, hence a drift in echo request transmission time (from the pre-recovery time) can occur causing the SGSN to be out of sync with the peer. By using this keyword, when the SGSN receives the first Echo Request (GTPC or GTPU) from the peer after the GTP service restart, in addition to replying with an ECHO Response, the SGSN transmits an ECHO Request to the peer and the SGSN restarts the timers associated with the path management procedures. This causes the path management procedure at SGSN to synchronize with the peer node.
Default: Enabled
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure GTP-U parameters for the Iu-PS interface.

ranap-cause cause_number
This number identifies the reason the SGSN has detected, from Iu Release messages, for the loss of radio coverage (LORC). This value is included in the IE messages the SGSN sends to either the GGSN or the GGSN and the peer SGSN to indicate LORC state. The range of reasons is a part of the set defined by 3GPP 25413.
cause_number : Must be an integer from 1 to 512.
Default: 46 (MS/UE radio connection lost)
Usage Guidelines
By defining a cause code, the SGSN knows to detect the LORC state of the mobile from Iu Release messages it receives for the subscriber. This configuration also instructs the SGSN to include the defined cause code for the LORC state in the IE portion of various messages sent to the GGSN and optionally the peer SGSN.
This command is one of the two commands required to enable the SGSN to work with the GGSN and, optionally the peer SGSN, to implement the Overcharging Protection feature (see the SGSN Overview in the SGSN Administration Guide for feature details. The other command needed to implement the Overcharging Protection feature is the gtp private extension command explained in the SGSN APN Policy Configuration Mode chapter of the Command Line Interface Reference.

3GPP TS 25.231 section 4.2.5 describes the functionality of the SGSN to handle CS-PS (circuit-switching/packet-switching) coordination for attached networks not having a Gs-interface. In compliance with the standard, the SGSN rejects an Attach in a MOCN configuration with cause 'CS-PS coordination required', after learning the IMSI, to facilitate the RNC choosing the same operator for both CS and PS domains.

no
Removes the PLMN ID from the configuration.
id
Creates a PLMN configuration instance based on the PLMN ID (comprised of the MCC and MNC). In accordance with TS 25.413, the SGSN supports up to 32 PLMN configurations for shared networks.
mcc mcc_num
Specifies the mobile country code (MCC) portion of the PLMN's identifier.
mcc_num: The PLMN MCC identifier and can be configured to any integer value between 100 and 999.
mnc mnc_num
Specifies the mobile network code (MNC) portion of the PLMN's identifier.
mnc_num: The PLMN MNC identifier and can be configured to any 2-digit or 3-digit value between 00 and 999.
network-sharing common-plmn mcc mcc_num mnc mnc_num
When network sharing is employed, this set of keywords is required to define the PLMN Id of the common PLMN. The common PLMN is usually not the same as the local PLMN.
With the release of 15.0, both 2G and 3G MOCN functionality is now license controlled and the license is required to use all previously available network sharing SGSN configuration commands. For additional information, contact your Cisco Account Representative.
plmn-list mcc mcc_num mnc mnc_num
When network sharing is employed and more than two PLMNs are available, then use the plmn-list keyword to begin a list of all additional PLMNs.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure the PLMN associated with the SGSN. There can only be one PLMN associated with an SGSN unless one of the following features is enabled and configured: network sharing or multiple PLMN.
For network sharing, use of the network-sharing keywords make it possible to identify more than one PLMN. Including the PLMN identified initially. None have precedence. They are all treated equally but they must each be unique. In a MOCN configuration, the PLMN list will not be used as there would only be one local PLMN.
For multiple PLMN support, the SGSN can support up to 8 Iu-PS configurations for PLMNs. These Iu-PS service configurations must be associated with the SGSN via the ran-protocol command in the SGSN Service configuration mode.
Examples
Use the following command to identify a PLMN by the MCC 313 and MNC 23 and instruct the SGSN to perform network sharing with a single common PLMN identified by MCC 404 and MNC 123:
plmn id mcc 313 mnc 23 network-sharing common-plmn mcc 404 mnc 123

Syntax
Syntax Description
[ no ] rai-skip-validation
no
Disables skipping the validation of the old RAI MCC/MNC fields and enables the default behavior to validate.
Usage Guidelines
This command configures the SGSN to enable or disable rejection of RAU requests with invalid MCC/MNC values in the old RAI field. By default, this configuration is disabled allowing the default behavior to validate the old RAI MCC/MNC fields.
This command also impacts the PTMSI attaches where the old RAI field is invalid. If the OLD RAI field is invalid and if the validation is enabled, the identity of the MS is requested directly from the MS instead of the peer SGSN.
Validation checks are done per 3GPP TS 24.008 for the MCC/MNC fields of the old RAI IE in Attach/RAU Requests. RAU requests with invalid MCC/MNC values in the old RAI field are rejected. For Attach requests with invalid MCC/MNC values in the old RAI field, the identity of the MS is retrieved directly from the MS instead of sending an identity request to the peer Node where the MS identity is derived from the valid old-RAI.
