Syntax Description

threshold ppp-setup-fail-rate high_thresh [ clear low_thresh ]

high_thresh

Default: 0

Specifies the high threshold rate percentage for PPP setup failures experienced by the system that must be met or exceeded within the polling interval to generate an alert or alarm.

high_thresh is an integer from 0 through 100. A value of 0 disables the threshold.

clear low_thresh

Default: 0

Specifies the low threshold rate percentage for PPP setup failures experienced by the system that maintains a previously generated alarm condition. If the number of setup failures falls beneath the low threshold within the polling interval, a clear alarm will be generated.

low_thresh is an integer from 0 through 100. A value of 0 disables the threshold.

Important:

This value is ignored for the Alert model. In addition, if this value is not configured for the Alarm model, the system assumes it is identical to the high threshold.

Usage Guidelines

PPP setup failure rate thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the rate of call setup failures experienced by the system during the specified polling interval. The failure rate is the percentage of failures as determined by number of PPP setup failures divided by the total number of PPP sessions initiated.

Alerts or alarms are triggered for PPP setup failure rates based on the following rules:

  • Enter condition: Actual number of call setup failures is greater than or equal to the high threshold.

  • Clear condition: Actual number of call setup failures is less than the low threshold.

If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the polling interval.

Refer to the threshold poll command to configure the polling interval and the threshold monitoring command to enable thresholding for this value.

Examples

The following command configures a PPP setup failure rate high percentage threshold of 50 percent and a clear threshold of 45 percent: 
threshold ppp-setup-fail-rate 50 clear 45

Syntax

Syntax Description

threshold route-service bgp-routes high_thresh [ clear low_thresh ]

bgp-routes

Specifies the threshold for percentage of maximum bgp routes per context. It is an integer from 0 through 100.

  • high_thresh

    Specifies the high threshold rate percentage for maximum BGP routes per context that must be met or exceeded within the polling interval to generate an alert or alarm. high_thresh is an integer from 0 through 100. A value of 0 disables the threshold. The default value is 0.

  • clear low_thresh

    Specifies the low threshold rate percentage for BGP routes per context that maintains a previously generated alarm condition. If the number of BPG routes falls beneath the low threshold within the polling interval, a clear alarm will be generated. low_thresh is an integer from 0 through 100. A value of 0 disables the threshold. The default value is 0.

For more information on the maximum route value per context, refer to Engineering Rules in the System Administration Guide.

Important:

This value is ignored for the Alert model. In addition, if this value is not configured for the Alarm model, the system assumes it is identical to the high threshold.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure a threshold in percentage of maximum BGP routes allowed. If the percentage of the number of BGP routes in a context reaches high_thresh, a notification is generated. Optionally, if the threshold subsystem is configured in 'alarm' mode, a Threshold_Clear notification is generated when the percentage of the number of BGP routes in a context goes below low_thresh. The maximum number of BGP routes is also sent by BGP task when getting the statistics.

Alerts or alarms are triggered for BGP routes based on the following rules:

  • Enter condition: Actual number of BGP routes is greater than the high threshold.

  • Clear condition: Actual number BGP routes is less than the low threshold.

If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the polling interval.

Refer to the threshold poll command to configure the polling interval and the threshold monitoring command to enable thresholding for this value.

  • context context_name

    Configures the context to apply vrf-framed-routes threshold.

  • vrf vrf_name

    Configures the VRF to apply vrf-framed-routes threshold.

For more information on the maximum route value per context, refer to Engineering Rules in the System Administration Guide.

Important:

When the root level version of the threshold route-service command is issued without context and vrf information, the framed routes threshold value is configured for every VRF in the system. When the vrf-framed-routes command is issued for a specific context and VRF name, then the threshold value is configured only for that context and VRF. Any previously configured root level or VRF specific threshold value will be overwritten. The threshold values are set as a percentage of the ip maximum routes for the VRF. If ip maximum routes for a VRF is not configured, the default value is the maximum routes per context. If the threshold values in the above CLI command is set to 0, then the respective threshold configuration is removed.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure a threshold in percentage of the maximum VRF framed routes. If the percentage of the number VRF framed routes reaches high_thresh, a notification is generated. Optionally, if the threshold subsystem is configured in 'alarm' mode, a Threshold_Clear notification is generated when the percentage of the number of VRF framed routes s in a context goes below low_thresh.

Alerts or alarms are triggered for VRF framed routes based on the following rules:

  • Enter condition: Actual number of VRF framed routes is greater than the high threshold.

  • Clear condition: Actual number of VRF framed routes is less than the low threshold.

If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the polling interval.

Refer to the threshold poll command to configure the polling interval and the threshold monitoring command to enable thresholding for this value.

low_thresh is an integer from 0 and 4000000. A value of 0 disables the threshold.

Important:

This value is ignored for the Alert model. In addition, if this value is not configured for the Alarm model, the system assumes it is identical to the high threshold.

Usage Guidelines

Monitor and set alarms or alerts when the total number of HA sessions in the system is equal to or greater than the set limit.

Alerts or alarms are triggered for HA sessions based on the following rules:

  • Enter condition: Actual total number of HA sessions is greater than or equal to the high threshold.

  • Clear condition: Actual total number of HA sessions is less than the low threshold.

If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the polling interval.

Refer to the threshold poll command to configure the polling interval and the threshold monitoring command to enable thresholding for this value.

shape

Allows configuration for traffic shaping.

max-buffer-size

Allows configuration of the maximum buffer size for the session manager and subscriber.

sessmgr

Specifies the maximum buffer limit for the session manager for use during traffic shaping.

Valid entries are from 1 to 100 MB.

The default is 10 MB.

The sessmgr value should be greater than the subscriber value.


Caution

Standard size buffers (500, 2k, and 10k bytes) are used for buffering packets to avoid memory fragmentation. As a result, there may be additional memory overhead in the memory used for buffering. The buffer limit in the above configuration refers to actual effective bytes used to store packets. Use caution to use appropriate buffer limits, so that the system does not significantly affect the overall Session Manager memory requirement for sessions.

subscriber

Specifies the maximum buffer limit for subscriber use during traffic shaping.

Valid entries are from 1 to 100 MB.

The default is 1 MB.

The subscriber value should be less than the sessmgr value.


Note

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to set the maximum memory buffer limit for session manager and subscriber use during traffic shaping.

Traffic shaping and policing must first be configured in APN Configuration Mode using the apn-ambr command before the traffic shape command can be used.

Examples

The following example configures the maximum buffer size for the sessmgr at 20 MB, and configures the maximum buffer size for subscriber at 2 MB: 
traffic shape max-buffer-size sessmgr 20 subscriber 2

transaction-rate bucket-interval time_interval

Where bucket-interval is the time interval, in minutes, used for gathering transaction rate statistics. This setting must be an integer from 1 to 20 minutes. The default value is 2 minutes. If no entry is made for the bucket-interval, then the default value of 2 minutes is used.

default

Returns the bucket-interval setting to the default value of 2 minutes.

Usage Guidelines

Session Events Per Second (SEPS) KPIs measure the signaling load on the P-GW/ePDG. Network initiated setup/tear down KPIs are available to measure the event rate for VoLTE call setup and tear down. Together, these measurements assist operators in performing network dimensioning/planning for the P-GW/ePDG node.

The P-GW/ePDG contains 8 buckets for transaction rate statistics collection for both session events per second KPIs and N/w Initiated Setup/Tear down Events per Second KPIs. The buckets are based on a configurable bucket interval that is from 1 to 20 minutes in length. During the configured time interval, an average is computed and stored for the entire bucket interval.

After the first 8 bucket intervals have elapsed and statistics collected, the P-GW continues sequentially through the 8 bucket intervals and eventually overwrites the original 8 bucket-intervals with more recent data. In short, the 8 bucket intervals provide a running average for the last eight bucket-intervals for which KPIs have been computed. While the bucket-interval statistics are eventually overwritten with new values, all statistic totals are added to the historical statistics, which are not overwritten.

To keep the number of buckets carrying new data across 2 consecutive bulk statistics sampling intervals as constant, use the following recommended configuration:

  • Configure the bucket-interval so that the bulk statistic sampling interval is an integer (from 1 to 8) multiple of the configured bucket-interval. This new integer multiple reflects the number of buckets with new information in a given sampling interval. For example:

    • If the bulk statistic sampling interval is 15, then the configured bucket interval should be 3 so that the bucket interval is an integer multiple (3*5=15) of the sampling interval. In this case, 5 indicates the number of buckets with new information in a given sampling interval.

    • Similarly, when the bulk statistic sampling interval is 16, then the bucket interval could be 2 (so that 2*8=16). In this example 8 is the number of buckets with new information in a given sampling interval.

  • The transaction rates statistics are lost if the sessmgr/demuxmgr restarts. Also the cumulative statistics accumulated to that point are also lost.

  • If the sessmgr/demuxmgr restarts in the middle of a bucket interval, the transaction rates stats collected to that point are lost.

To view transaction rate KPI information, use the show transaction-rate pgw-service command in Exec Mode.

Examples

Use the following command to set the bucket-interval for SEPS and network initiated setup/tear down KPIs to 3 minutes: 
transaction-rate bucket-interval 3

A maximum of 4 unique QCI settings can be configured. The default is for network-initiated setup/teardown events to be supported for all supported QCI values.

QCI values 65 and 66 are available for guaranteed bit rate (GBR) network initiated QCI values only.

QCI values 69 and 70 are available for non-GBR network initiated QCI values only.

default

Returns the setting to its default value. The default is for network-initiated setup/teardown events to be tracked for all supported QCI values.

no

Disables the collection of network-initiated setup/teardown events for the specified QCI value.

Usage Guidelines

Network initiated setup/tear down KPIs are available to measure the event rate for VoLTE call setup and tear down. These KPIs assist operators in performing network dimensioning/planning for the P-GW/ePDG node.

The P-GW/ePDG contains 8 buckets for transaction rate statistics collection for N/w Initiated Setup/Tear down Events per Second KPIs. The buckets are based on a configurable bucket interval that is from 1 to 20 minutes in length. During the configured time interval, an average is computed and stored for the entire bucket interval. Refer to the description of the transaction-rate bucket-interval command in Global Configuration Mode Commands chapter for details on configuring the bucket interval.

The transaction rates statistics are lost when the sessmgr/demux restarts.

Existing transaction-rate configuration settings can be viewed by using the show configuration command in Exec Mode.

To view network-initiated setup/tear down event statistics, use the show transaction-rate pgw-service command in Exec Mode.

To clear the transaction-rate statistics, use the clear transaction-rate pgw-service command in Exec Mode.

unexpected-scenario session drop-call

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(config)#

Syntax

Syntax Description

unexpected-scenario session drop-call [ disable-core ]
default unexpected-scenario session drop-call

default

Disables call clearing logic for a graceful assert. This results in automatic core dump generation for unexpected scenarios resulting in control and data outage for the task instance until the core is fully generated.

[ disable-core ]

This option disables the automatic generation of core dumps when a call is dropped for a specific session.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to enable call clearing logic that will minimize the automatic generation of asserts and core dumps during a specific call processing session that may lead to data outage and session manager recovery.

The call clearing logic is only applied to the first assert generated during a call processing session. When that assert occurs, a zero-second timer lets the current stack unwind to avoid reentrancy issues. The call is then dropped from all interfaces. This is considered to be a graceful assert.

A core dump is generated along with any application supplied debug info. The line number and file index of the ASSERT appears in the call-line; the current call-line is marked as being in "assert_hit" scenario.

With the disable-core option set, a core dump is not generated following a graceful assert.

An assert generated after a graceful assert for the same unexpected scenario will cause the call to be dropped and trigger an automatic core dump. Depending on the length of time required to generate the associated core dump, a session manager recovery may be initiated. This is a highly unlikely possibility.

Important:

The graceful assert call clearing logic can only be applied to call processing events, such as VoLTE. It cannot be used for ICSR-SRP scenarios.

Examples

The following command enables call clearing logic for graceful asserts of initial call processing failures: 

unexpected-scenario session drop-call disable-core

upgrade limit

This command issued with no keywords sets all parameters to their defaults.

time session_life

Default: 120

Defines the maximum number of minutes that a session may exist on the system undergoing a software upgrade, before it is terminated by the system. As individual user sessions reach this lifetime limit, the system terminates the individual session(s). session_life must be an integer ranging from 1 through 1440.

usage session_num

Default: 100

This keyword defines a low threshold limit of sessions running either on a packet processing card or system-wide. When a software upgrade is invoked, this parameter applies to the entire system.

When the threshold is crossed (when the number of sessions on the packet processing card or system is less than this value), the remaining sessions on the card or system are terminated allowing the upgrade to begin. The remaining sessions on the packet processing card or system are terminated regardless of their session life. session_num must be an integer from 0 through 6000.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure upgrade session limits that trigger the system to begin executing the software upgrade.

Important:

This command is not supported on all platforms.

Important:

Software Patch Upgrades are not supported in this release.
