Network Service Entity- IP Local Configuration Mode Commands

The Network Service Entity (NSE) - IP Local configuration mode is a sub-mode of the Global Configuration mode. This sub-mode configures the local endpoint for NS/IP with the commands and parameters to define the management functionality for the Gb interface between a BSS and an SGSN over a 2.5G GPRS IP network connection.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Network Service Entity - IP Configuration

configure > network-service-entity ip-local

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt:

[local]host_name(nse-ip-local)#

The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).

all-nsvc-failure-action

Configure how the SGSN handles the NSE when all NSVCs go down.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Network Service Entity - IP Configuration

configure > network-service-entity ip-local

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(nse-ip-local)#

Syntax

Syntax Description

all-nsvc-failure-action clear-nse
default all-nsvc-failure-action

default

By default, the NSE is not cleared if all NSVCs go down.

clear-nse

Instructs the SGSN to SGSN to clear NSEs if all NSVCs to the BSC are down. This CLI clears the info only in cases where all the NSVC of NSE go down due to ALIVE time out.

Usage Guidelines

Enable the SGSN to clear NSE information when all NSVCs go down.

Examples

Use the following command to configure the SGSN to clear NSEs when all NSVCs go down. 
all-nsvc-failure-action clear-nse

associate

This command supports the association of DSCP template at network-service-entity ip local level.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Network Service Entity - IP Configuration

configure > network-service-entity ip-local

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(nse-ip-local)#

Syntax

Syntax Description

associate dscp-template downlink  [<template-name>] 
no associate dscp-template downlink

no

Removes the associate services needed for all IP nses.

dscp-template

Configures DCSP for all IP nses.

downlink [<template-name>]

Specifies the DSCP template used for the downlink packets.

template-name: String of size 1 up to 64.

Usage Guidelines

Configuring this command allows the SGSN to send the configured DSCP value to:

  • All the GPRS nodal messages.
  • All the subscriber specific messages, when dscp template association at gprs-service level and nsei level are absent.

The DSCP template can be defined in sgsn global.

By default, SGSN will apply best effort DSCP value ( that is, "0" ).

Note:

  • Atleast one nsvl should be configured, before configuring the DSCP marking at "network-service-entity ip-local" level.
  • After the removal of last nsvl, DSCP template association is removed from "network-service-entity ip-local".

Examples

The following example associates a DSCP template at network-service-entity ip local level. 

associate dscp-template downlink  DSCP

bssgp-timer

This command has been deprecated.

Syntax

Syntax Description

[ default ] max-ns-retransmissions { alive count | sns-proc count }

default

Resets the specified counter configuration to the default value.

alive count

Sets the maximum number of alive retries.

count: Must be an integer between 0 and 10. Default is 3.

sns-proc count

Sets the maximum number of retries for the SNS procedure

count: Must be an integer between 0 and 5. Default is 3.

Usage Guidelines

Sets the maximum for NS transmission retries.

Examples

max-ns-retransmission alive 4

ns-timer

This command sets the network service (NS) counters for the SNS procedure and testing.

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(nse-ip-local)#

Syntax

Syntax Description

ns-timer { sns-guard timeout_val | sns-prov timeout_val | test timeout_val }
default ns-timer { sns-guard | sns-prov | test }

default

Resets the selected timer configuration to its default value.

sns-guard timeout_val

Sets the SNS-guard timer which is used in the auto-learn procedure to clean-up learnt BSC/NSE informtation. Timeout value is in seconds.

timeout_val: Enter an integer from 1 to 300. Default is 60.

sns-prov timeout_val

Sets the SNS procedure timeout value in seconds.

timeout_val: Enter an integer from 1 to 10. Default is 5.

test timeout_val

Sets the test procedure timeout value in seconds.

timeout_val: Enter an integer from 1 to 60. Default is 30 seconds.

Usage Guidelines

Set NS timers to help manage the NSE-IP connection.

Examples

The following example sets the test timer to 4 seconds: 
ns-timer test 4

nsvc-failure-action

This command enables and disables the sending of an NS-STATUS message with cause 'ip-test fail' when NSVC goes down.
