PCC-Service-Profile Configuration Mode Commands

Important: This configuration mode is supported from StarOS Release 12.1 onward.

Mode

The PCC-Service-Profile Configuration Mode is used to define the business logic used by the operator for managing the policy requirements and objectives for the network specific to a group of subscribers in the network. A PCC-Service-Profile manages multiple PCC-Conditions-Groups and associated PCC-Action-Sets pairs in an ordered manner. A maximum of 32 PCC-Service-Profile can be configured in a PCC-Service instance.

Exec > Global Configuration > Context Configuration > PCC Service Configuration > PCC Service Profile Configuration

configure > context context_name > pcc-service service_name > profile profile_name

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt:

Additionally timedef is used to accept the Timedefs to support the time-of-day-based procedures to trigger an evaluation priority. The action is triggered only when the time of session lies in the time span defined in specific PCC-Timedef timedef_name.

Default eval-priority has the lowest priority in the PCC-Service-Profile and as default eval-priority does not have any PCC-Condition-Group associated with it, all the actions in the action-set always be applied.

A maximum of 64 PCC-Evaluation-Priorities can be configured in a PCC-Service-Profile.

Examples

Following command sets the evaluation priority value as 1 for PCC-Condition-Group cond_1 along with PCC-Action-Set act_cond1 for PCC-Service-Profile instance on IPCF node: 
eval-priority 1 condition-group cond_1 action-set act_cond1

no timeout long-duration
default timeout long-duration

no

Removes the configured long duration timeout value and action in PCC Profile instance.

default

Sets the the long duration timeout value to the default value of '0' which disables the long duration timeout configuration in PCC Profile instance.

long-duration ldt_timeout

Default: 0

Designates the maximum duration of the session, in seconds, before the system automatically reports/terminates the session.

Specifies the maximum amount of time, in seconds, before the specified timeout action is activated.

ldt_timeout must be a value in the range from 0 through 4294967295.

The special value 0 disables the timeout specified.

action {detection | disconnect}

Default: Detection

Specifies the action to be taken on expiry of long duration timeout duration ldt_timeout set with timeout long-duration command.

  • detection: sets the system to detect the sessions for which long duration timeout timer is exceeded and sends the SNMP TRAP and CORBA notification. This is the default behavior.
  • disconnect: sets the system to send SNMP TRAP and CORBA notification and disconnect the subscriber session once the long duration timeout timer is expired.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to set the long duration timeout period and actions to be taken on expiry of duration of timer for subscriber session.

Important: Reduce the timeout duration to free session resources faster for use by new requests.
Important:

In case of long-duration timeout configured at PCC Service Configuration mode as well as at the PCC-Profile Configuration mode level, the long-duration timeout and action set in PCC-Profile Configuration mode will prevail. This enables defining session behavior as per profile provisioning.

Examples

Following command sets the system to detect the subscriber sessions that exceeds the long duration timer of 6000 seconds and sends SNMP TRAP and CORBA notification: 
timeout long-duration 6000 action detection
Following command sets the system to detect and disconnect the subscriber sessions that exceeds the long duration timer of 6000 seconds and disconnect the session after sending SNMP TRAP and CORBA notification: 
timeout long-duration 6000 action disconnect

Syntax

Syntax Description

[default] unknown-services-treatment {not-allowed | qos-profile qos_prof_name precedence from start_preced to end_preced order {ascending | descending}}

default

Sets the configured PCC-Service for handling of unknown services at IPCF to default value of "Not allowed" which is to be used in Subscriber profile in PCC-Service instance on IPCF node.

not-allowed

Sets the PCC-Service-Profile instance to reject the packet filters and does not installs any dynamic rule when IPCF receives any request to authorize Packet Filters from PCEF and no matching service flow is found in data service list.

qos-profile qos_prof_name

Specifies a pre-defined PCC-QoS profile name to be used to create dynamic rule when IPCF receives any request to authorize Packet Filters from PCEF and no matching service flow is found in data service list.

qos_prof_name is a pre-defined PCC-QoS Profile and must be an alphanumerical string of 1 through 63 characters.

precedence from start_preced to end_preced

Specifies the precedence parameters to install dynamic rules for selection of QoS profile when QoS profile is configured to create dynamic rule when IPCF receives any request to authorize Packet Filters from PCEF and no matching service flow is found in data service list.

start_preced is an integer between 1 through 65535 and must be less than end_preced value where end_preced is an integer between 1 through 65535 and must be more than start_preced value

order {ascending | descending}

Specifies the order of precedence for QoS profile to be used to install dynamic rule when IPCF receives any request to authorize Packet Filters from PCEF and no matching service flow is found in data service list.

  • ascending sets the precedence setting in ascending order.
  • descending sets the precedence setting in descending order.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to set the PCC-Service Tag for PCC-Rulename and PCC-Rulebase which are defined on PCEF with a PCC-Service-Profile which is to use in Subscriber profile in PCC-Service instance.

Whenever IPCF receives any request to authorize Packet Filters from PCEF, it does a lookup in data service list to find a match. If No service flow is found matching then the requested filters are treated as unknown service request and handled as per the mentioned configuration.

When unknown-service-treatment is set to not-allowed, then Packet Filters are rejected and no dynamic rule is installed. Otherwise, dynamic rule is created using the requested packet filters, data rates mentioned in the QoS profile name qos_prof_name and precedence value derived from the configured values.

The precedence configuration works in following manner:
  • If precedence limits are configured as 1000 to 2000 with order ascending then precedence of subsequent dynamic rules will go from 1000 to 2000.
  • If precedence limits are configured as 1000 to 2000 with order descending then precedence of subsequent dynamic rules will go from 2000 to 1000.

Examples

Following command sets the PCC-Service for handling of unknown services for PCC-Service-Profile instance on IPCF node to default action of not allowed: 
default unknown-services-treatment
