Cisco LTE SGW Overview

The following sections provide a brief overview of the Cisco LTE SGW:

•Cisco LTE SGW Overview

•Cisco LTE SGW Description

LTE Evolved Packet Core

The Cisco LTE SGW is a service designed for LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC). The EPC is the main component of the System Architecture Evolution (SAE). 3GPP designed SAE as a migration path for 3GPP systems. The SAE is the core network architecture of LTE communication.

The SAE is an evolution of the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) that provides a migration path for 3GPP systems with the following differences:

•Simplified architecture

•All IP network

•Support for higher throughput and lower latency radio access networks (RANs)

•Support for and mobility between 3GPP (GPRS, UMTS, and LTE) and non-3GPP access technologies.

The LTE EPC is made up of the following primary elements:

•Mobility Management Entity (MME)

•Serving Gateway (SGW)

•Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway (PGW)

Figure 1 shows the interworking (and interfaces) of the LTE EPC with different radio access technologies.

Note Cisco LTE PGW Release 1.x does not support the paths represented by dashed lines.

The following is a list of acronyms used in Figure 1.

•Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN)

•UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN)

•GSM EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN)

•Evolved UTRAN (E-UTRAN)

•Mobility Management Entity (MME)

•Serving Gateway (SGW)

•PDN Gateway (PGW)

•Charging Gateway Function (CGF)

•Home Subscriber Server (HSS)

•Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF)

•Online Charging System (OCS)

•Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA)

•Diameter Credit Control Application (DCCA)

Cisco LTE SGW Description

For each UE associated with the EPS, there is a single SGW at any given time.

The Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.x supports GTP-based non-roaming and roaming architectures, and control and data plane functions defined by 3GPP TS 23.401 for 3GPP access networks.

The Cisco LTE SGW provides the following support:

•Routes and forwards data packets from the UE

•Terminates the interface towards Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN)

•Mobility anchor point for inter-3GPP mobility (terminating S4 and relaying traffic between 2.5G/3G and LTE networks

•ECM-IDLE mode downlink packet buffering and initiation of network triggered service request procedure

•User traffic replication for Lawful Intercept

•Uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) charging per UE, packet data network (PDN), and quality of service (QoS) Class Identifier (QCI) (for example, for roaming with home-routed traffic)

•Handling of various messages between the MME, eNodeB, serving GPRS support node (SGSN), and PGW

•Processes both control and user plane messages

The Cisco LTE SGW runs on the Cisco Service and Application Module for IP (SAMI), a new-generation high performance service module for the Cisco 7600 Series Router platforms.

For more information about the Cisco SAMI, see the Cisco Service and Application Module for IP User Guide.

 Limitations, Restrictions, and Important Notes 
 
    
   
 When configuring the Cisco LTE SGW, note the following: 
 
    
   
 •The Cisco LTE SGW does not support the Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) neighbor resolution optimization feature, which is enabled by default. 
 
    
   
 Therefore, to avoid the possibility of incomplete adjacency on VLAN interfaces for the redirected destination IP address and an impact to the upstream traffic flow for bearers/PDP sessions upon bootup, ensure that you configure the no ip cef optimize neighbor resolution command. 
 
    
   
 •The number of bearer/PDP contexts supported on a SGW is dependent on the memory and platform in use and the SGW configuration (for example, whether Dynamic Feedback Protocol [DFP] is being used or the memory protection feature is enabled, and what rate of bearer creation is supported). 
 
    
   
 The Cisco LTE SGW on the Cisco SAMI with the 2-GB memory option can support 380000 PDN connections and the 380000 of default bearers. When the maximum allowable number of bearers/PDP contexts is reached, the SGW refuses new mobile sessions until sessions are available. 
 
    
   
 •To avoid issues with high CPU usage, we recommend the following configurations: 
 
    
   
 –To reduce the CPU usage during bootup, disable logging to the console terminal by configuring the no logging console global configuration command. 
 
    
   
 –To ensure that the HSRP interface does not declare itself active until it is ready to process a peer's hello packets, configure the delay period before the initialization of HSRP groups with the standby delay minimum 100 reload 100 interface configuration command under the HRSP interface. 
 
    
   
 –To minimize issues with high CPU usage for additional reasons, such as periods of high PPP PDP processing (creating and deleting), disable the notification of interface data link status changes on all virtual template interfaces of the GGSN using the no logging event link-status interface configuration command.

 Note This show gprs gtp statistics command enhancement is identified by CSCtt41315. 
 
   
 
     
    
    
   
 Lookup Thread Health Monitoring 
 
    
   
 The Cisco SAMI IXP has more than 50 lookup threads. In prior releases, if a few threads failed, the system did not report the failure right away, but continued to operate in a degraded mode. 
 
    
   
 Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3f introduces a new process that monitors the health of the lookup threads every second to ensure that the threads are functioning properly. If eight threads report a failure, the process resets the system. 
 
    
   
 The following syslog message is printed to the PPC if the monitor process detects a stuck thread: 
 
    
   
 
    
SAMI 3/3: Oct 28 07:22:57.771: %PLATFORM-3-DP_IXP_THR_WARN: IXP:0 thread blocked. me:10 
thr:7 num_consecutive_fail:3

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 Once eight threads become stuck, the monitor process prints the following syslog message and reloads the card: 
 
    
   
 
    
SAMI 3/3: Oct 28 07:22:57.771: %PLATFORM-0-DP_IXP_MULT_THR_FAIL: IXP:0 multiple:8 threads 
hung

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 By default, the lookup thread monitor process is enabled. To disable the monitor process, use the no sami ixp monitor enable command. To re-enabled the monitor process, use the sami ixp monitor enable command. 
 
   
 
     
   
 
   
 
    
   
 Note This new implementation is identified by CSCtt32257. 
 
   
 
     
    
    
   
 Write Memory Command Disabled on the TCOPs 
 
    
   
 With Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3f, the write memory command is disabled on the Cisco SAMI Traffic and Control Plane processors (TCOPs). Disabling the write memory command on the TCOPs prevents unnecessary and redundant writes to NVRAM that previously occurred when using schedule jobs (cron table jobs) that executed the write memory command. 
 
   
 
     
   
 
   
 
    
   
 Note This behavior change fixes CSCtt37393. 
 
   
 
     
    
    
   
 SNMP Changes 
 
    
   
 In the CISCO-GGSN-EXT-MIB, the SNMP GetNext (snmpgetnext, snmpwalk) and the SNMP GetBulk (snmpbulkget) requests are disabled for the GGSN Subscriber table (cGgsnExtSubscriberTable). The entries of the GGSN Subscriber table are now available only through an SNMP GetOne request (snmpget). 
 
   
 
     
   
 
   
 
    
   
 Note This behavior change resolves CSCtt71202. 
 
   
 
     
    
    
   
 New Implementations and Behavior Changes in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3e 
 
    
   
 With Cisco LTE PGW Release 1.3.6, the following syslog messages have been introduced that identify a restart counter change has occurred that resulted in a particular MME being reloaded and the deletion of all contexts linked to that MME. 
 
    
   
 
    
SAMI 3/4: %LTE_GTPV2-4-LTE_RESTART_COUNTER_CHANGED: GSN: 6.6.6.1, Sig src addr: 
12.12.12.36, TID: 1111051000000021, MME: 12.12.12.36 Restart counter changed from 10 to 2,

 New Implementations and Behavior Changes in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T35c 
 
    
   
 There are no new implementations or behavior changes in Cisco SGW Release 1.3.5, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T35c. 
 
     
    
    
   
 New Implementations and Behavior Changes in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T34d 
 
    
   
 There are no new implementations or behavior changes in Cisco SGW Release 1.3.4, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T34d. 
 
     
    
    
   
 New Implementations and Behavior Changes in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3c 
 
    
   
 Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.3, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3c introduces support for the 3GPP change request (CR) 278. CR 278 specifies that when the SGW receives an Error Indication either for a Radio Network Controller (RNC) or from an eNodeB, it sends a Downlink Data Notification message to the S4 SGSN or to the MME, respectively. (CSCtj66053) 
 
     
    
    
   
 New Implementations and Behavior Changes in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3b 
 
    
   
 In compliance with Release 8.2.0, the following behavior changes have been introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3b. 
 
    
   
 •In the Create Session Request, the first byte of the mobile station ISDN (MSISDN) number is removed (CSCtk01630). 
 
    
   
 •If a charging reporting action is enabled on the Cisco LTE PGW, the Cisco LTE SGW forwards the information element (IE) in the Create Session Response to both the Mobility Management Entity (MME) and the serving GPRS support node (SGSN). Previously, per Release 8.1.1, the Cisco LTE SGW sent the IE only to the SGSN. (CSCtk82408) 
 
     
    
    
   
 New Implementations and Behavior Changes in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3a1 
 
    
   
 Support for the following 3GPP specification CRs records for 29.274 has been introduced in Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.1, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3a1: 
 
    
   
 •CR 267—Serving network 
 
    
   
 •CR 358—Bearer QoS in modify bearer request 
 
    
   
 •CR 430—UE timezone and user location information (ULI) included in bearer response messages 
 
    
   
 •CR 433—Correcting misaligned information element (IE) presence type statements 
 
    
   
 •CR 451—Charging characteristics value for active PDN connections 
 
    
   
 •CR 154—Offending IE in the cause IE 
 
    
   
 Additionally, commands to configure backward compliance have been added for the following 29.274 CRs: 
 
    
   
 •CR 308—LBI clarifications for Gn/Gp handovers. By default, compliance for this CR 308 is enabled on the PGW, but is disabled by default on the SGW. 
 
    
   
 •CR 324—APN-AMBR in the create/delete bearer request. Compliance must be enabled on the PGW and SGW. By default, compliance for this CR is disabled. 
 
    
   
 •CR 137—Combined uplink and downlink traffic flow template (TFT) IEs. CR 137 Compliance must be enabled on the PGW and SGW. By default, compliance for CR 137 is disabled. 
 
    
   
 To configure compliance for the above CR, complete the following tasks: 
 
    
   
 •Creating a Compliance Profile 
 
    
   
 •Creating a Remote Path Group 
 
     
    
    
   
 Creating a Compliance Profile 
 
    
   
 Operators can create a compliance profile in which they configure CR compliance. Once a compliance profile has been created, it can be applied to a path group to a remote node. For information on creating a path group to a remote node, see"Creating a Remote Path Group" section. 
 
    
   
 To create a compliance profile and its CR configuration, complete the following tasks, beginning in global configuration mode: 
 
    
   
 
 
   
 
    
 
      
      
      
 
         
        
        

          Command 
        
 		 
        
        

          Purpose 
        
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 1  
 		 
       
Router(config)# gprs compliance profile name 
 
       
 Creates or modifies a compliance profile, where name is the name of the compliance profile. 
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 2  
 		 
       
Router(config-compl-profile)# cr 29.274-0308 
 
       
 Configures the gateway to comply with CR 308 (LBI clarifications for Gn/Gp handovers). On the PGW, CR 308 compliance is enabled by default. On the SGW, compliance is disabled by default. 
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 3  
 		 
       
Router(config-compl-profile)# cr 29.274-0324 
 
       
 Configures the gateway to comply with CR 324 (APN AMBR in the create/delete bearer request). On the PGW and SGW, CR 324 compliance is disabled by default. 
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 4  
 		 
       
Router(config-compl-profile)# cr 29.274-0137 
 
       
 Configures the gateway to comply with CR 137 (combine uplink and downlink TFT IEs). On the PGW and SGW, compliance is disabled by default. 
 		 
      
 
      
    
 
   
 
   
 
 
     
    
    
   
 Creating a Remote Path Group 
 
    
   
 Once a compliance profile has been configured, operators can create a path group. In the path group, the the address of the remote node is configured and as well as the compliance profile to use. 
 
    
   
 
 
   
 
    
 
      
      
      
 
         
        
        

          Command 
        
 		 
        
        

          Purpose 
        
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 1  
 		 
       
Router(config)# gprs remote group name 
 
       
 Creates or modifies a remote path group, where name is the name of the group. 
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 2  
 		 
       
Router(config-remote-group)# compliance name 
 
       
 Applies a preconfigured compliance profile to the path group. 
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 3  
 		 
       
Router(config-remote-group)# ip address {v4 start_ipv4_addr end_ipv4_addr | v6 start_ipv6_addr end_ipv6_addr} 
 
       
 Configures an IP address range in the remote path group, where: 
 
 •v4 start_ipv4_addr end_ipv4_addr—IPv4 address range. 
 
 •v6 start_ipv6_addr end_ipv6_addr—IPv6 address range.

 Cisco LTE SGW Caveats 
 
    
   
 The following Cisco LTE SGW caveats are open in Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.3.7, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3f. 
 
    
   
 •CSCts34338 
 
    
   
 The Cisco LTE SGW drops update PDP context requests because of an IMSI mandatory IE missing error. This condition occurs during a GTPv0-to-GTPv1 handoff or during a GTPv2-to-GTPv1 handoff if the IMSI is not present in the update PDP context request. The SGW considers this a mandatory IE instead of an optional ID, and drops the incoming request. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: There is currently no known workaround. 
 
    
   
 •CSCts78873 
 
    
   
 The Cisco LTE SGW Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) packet drop counter increments. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when the Cisco LTE SGW is configured to buffer packets. When configured to buffer packets, the SGW buffers packets on a per bearer basis. The SGW supports up to 20 packets per second (pps). The SGW drops packets exceeding this maximum, which causes the CEF packet drop counter to increment. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: There is currently no known workaround. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtu10175 
 
    
   
 Under certain conditions, the following syslog message is seen: 
 
    
   
 
    
%IPC-3-SAMI_SM_FAIL_DUP_MSISDN: Unexpected condition: TCOP in IMSI-Sticky doesn't 
match with MSISDN-Sticky.

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 The message does not appear to impact any functionality. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: There is currently no known workaround. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtu18533 
 
    
   
 The Cisco LTE SGW reloads during the PDP clean up function. 
 
    
   
 This reload occurs with the following conditions: 
 
    
   
 –A dual APN, which is the same user, connects to multiple APNs with different EPS Bearer IDs (EBIs) and the same International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI). 
 
    
   
 –When a release access bearer request for a user is received that applies to both of the bearers. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: There is currently no known workaround. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtu21137 
 
    
   
 RF-induced reloads are triggered by the TCOPs. This condition occurs in an Active/Standby redundant implementation. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: There is currently no known workaround. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtu36084 
 
    
   
 SGW call detail records (S-CDRs) report more volume upload and download bytes than the PDN CDRs (P-CDRs) for the session. 
 
    
   
 The following actions cause the S-CDR traffic volume count to be higher than the P-CDR service record count: 
 
    
   
  a. Send user location information change via MBR for a GTPv2 session while the data is being sent continuously. 
 
    
   
  b. Allow a few partial S-CDRs to be created. 
 
    
   
  c. Clear the GTPv2 session. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: There is currently no known workaround. 
 
     
    
    
   
 Cisco SAMI Caveats 
 
    
   
 The following Cisco SAMI caveats are open with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3f. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtn88798 
 
    
   
 In a redundant implementation, one of the Cisco SAMIs remains in a STANDBY-COLD state indefinitely. When in a STANDBY-COLD state, sessions are not sychronized to the standby Cisco SAMI. 
 
    
   
 This condition is seen on occasions when both of the Cisco SAMIs that are a part of a redundant implementation are reloaded at very close times. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: Reload the Cisco SAMI that is in STANDBY-COLD state. 
 
    
   
 •CSCts50055 
 
    
   
 On rare occasions, a Cisco SAMI coming up as a standby (in a redundant implementation) reloads immediately after booting up because of IXP network processor health monitoring failures. 
 
    
   
 These IXP health monitoring failures are only seen on Cisco SAMIs coming up as the standby gateway in a redundant implementation. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: Reload the Cisco SAMI. The module usually reloads correctly on the next attempt. 
 
    
   
 •CSCts50077 
 
    
   
 The Cisco SAMI reloads because of a health monitoring failure and the following syslog message is generated: 
 
    
   
 
    
%PLATFORM-4-DP_HM_WARN: Failed to receive response from IXP1 in 22 retries, system 
will reboot if it continues to fail receiving response in another 8 retries (i.e. in 
the next 80 secs.) Check `sami health-monitoring' configuration and see `show sami 
health-monitoring' for more info

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when the Cisco SAMI network processor (IXP) fails to respond to health monitor messages sent from a PowerPC (PPC). 
 
    
   
 Workaround: There is currently no known workaround. 
 
     
    
    
   
 Resolved Caveats 
 
    
   
 The following sections list the caveats that have been resolved with Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.3.7, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3f. 
 
    
   
 •Cisco LTE SGW Caveats 
 
    
   
 •Cisco SAMI Caveats 
 
     
    
    
   
 Cisco LTE SGW Caveats 
 
    
   
 This section lists the SGW caveats that are resolved in Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.3.7, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3f. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtq70842 
 
    
   
 When an snmpwalk is run on a complete Management Information Base (MIB) Object Identifier (OID) tree against an SGW or PGW that has no bearers/PDPs, the CPU usage is approximately 20 percent. With 50,000 create and delete session requests, but no snmpwalk running, the CPU usage is approximately 20 percent. However, when an snmpwalk and the 50,000 create and delete session requests are combined, the CPU usage climbs to 99 percent. 
 
    
   
 The high CPU condition is seen when the 50,000 create and delete session requests and an snmpwalk of the entire MIB tree occur at the same time. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtr30404 
 
    
   
 The SNMP-ENGINE process might leak memory on the PGW/SGW gateways when the path history table is polled. 
 
    
   
 •CSCts63514 
 
    
   
 GTP Version 1 (GTPv1) PDPs become stuck during standby-to-active switchover. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs with the Cisco LTE SGW or Cisco LTE PGW when PDPs are being deleted because of a new recovery information element (IE) value in the active gateway, which indicates a path restart, while the standby gateway is coming up and starts receiving bulk synchronization for create PDPs from the active gateway. 
 
    
   
 The active gateway immediately reloads after the bulk synchronization when there are PDPs remaining on the restarting path of the active gateway. 
 
    
   
 •CSCts95718 (duplicate of CSCtt15118) 
 
    
   
 The Cisco Mobile Wireless Transport Manager (MWTM) displays negative values for free memory. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtt04252 
 
    
   
 The MSISDN is not present in SGW call detail records (S-CDRs). This condition occurs after a 3G-to4G handoff. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtt71202 
 
    
   
 A high CPU is seen on the Cisco LTE gateway (PGW or SGW) with an SNMP GetBulk request on an object identifier (OID) polls the subscriber table. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtu27352 
 
    
   
 The gateway crashes when displaying path history tables. The path history tables are not empty and entries change simultaneously when the show gprs gtp path history command is executed. 
 
     
    
    
   
 Cisco SAMI Caveats 
 
    
   
 The following Cisco SAMI caveats are resolved with Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.3.7, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3f. 
 
    
   
 •CSCsx82030 
 
    
   
 A specific configuration sequence causes a configuration download/parse error on the SAMI. 
 
    
   
 The condition is logged as follows: 
 
    
   
 
    
SAMI 1/3: Feb 18 09:27:43.779: %IPC-0-CFG_DOWNLOAD_ERROR: Configuration

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
download/parse error: Failed to download config on one or more processors,

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
traffic will get blocked -Process= "Init", ipl= 0, pid= 3

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 If inter-device redundancy is configured, a peer SAMI might reload with the redundancy framework (RF)/Cisco IOS Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) state broken. 
 
    
   
 The following configuration sequence causes the configuration download/parse error: 
 
    
   
  a. The "snmp-server community" is using a standard ACL. 
 
    
   
  b. The standard ACL is removed. 
 
    
   
  c. A new extended ACL is created with the same name as the previous standard ACL. 
 
    
   
  d. The SAMI is reloaded. 
 
    
   
 After the reload, the SAMI receives the configuration download/parse error. 
 
    
   
 •CSCts68928 
 
    
   
 A configuration download error occurs with the following message: 
 
    
   
 
    
%IPC-0-CFG_DOWNLOAD_ERROR: Configuration download/parse error: Failed to download 

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
config on one or more processors, traffic will get blocked -Process= "Init", ipl= 0, 

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
pid= 3

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when the erase bootflash command is issued on the PCOP. 
 
    
   
 •CSCts73976 
 
    
   
 When the Cisco SAMI IXP statistics counters increase to larger values, writing those values to print buffer causes the following traceback: 
 
    
   
 
    
SAMI 2/3: 000049: Sep 17 22:08:58: %SAMI-4-WARNING: Unexpected condition: Bad 

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
string length, output truncated -Process= "Virtual Exec", ipl= 0, pid= 243,  -

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Traceback= 0x4586BB38z 0x4586BC28z 0x4586F7B8z 0x448A9B0Cz 0x44888930z 

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
0x4585E9ACz 0x44888A98z 0x448A9B0Cz 0x448D06F0z 0x459906F8z 

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
0x45993DFCzATTSGW52#

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 This traceback is visible when the show tech command or show sami ixp statistics command is executed. Additionally, this traceback causes no functional impact and is more likely to occur if the Cisco SAMI has been up for multiple days. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtt32257 
 
    
   
 While debugging, it is observed on rare occasions that all of the lookup threads become stuck, resulting in the IXP not processing any packets. The Cisco SAMI IXP has more than 50 look threads. If a few threads fail, the system might not report the failure right away, but continue to work in degraded mode. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtt37393 
 
    
   
 Scheduled jobs (cron table jobs) execute the write memory command on the Cisco SAMI TCOPs. The cron job is a distributed command, which means it is propagated to the TCOPs. 
 
    
   
 The Cisco SAMI single IP architecture does not use TCOP configuration files in NVRAM. The TCOP configurations are driven by the PCOP, which retrieves the configuration file from the supervisor. Executing the write memory command in the TCOPs saves the configuration in the TCOP NVRAM. This is an unnecessary and redundant write to NVRAM. 
 
    
   
 With this fix, the write memory command is disabled at the TCOPs. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtt42893 
 
    
   
 The Cisco LTE SGW sends a modify bearer response with a cause code reserved value "0" when it receives a modify bearer request for an eNodeB update that does not contain User Location Information.

 Cisco LTE SGW Caveats 
 
    
   
 The following SGW caveat is open in Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.3.6, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3e. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtq70842 
 
    
   
 When an snmpwalk is run on a complete Management Information Base (MIB) Object Identifier (OID) tree against an SGW or PGW that has no bearers/PDPs, the CPU usage is approximately 20 percent. With 50,000 create and delete session requests, but no snmpwalk running, the CPU usage is approximately 20 percent. However, when an snmpwalk and the 50,000 create and delete session requests are combined, the CPU usage climbs to 99 percent. 
 
    
   
 The high CPU condition is seen when the 50,000 create and delete session requests and an snmpwalk of the entire MIB tree occur at the same time. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: There is currently no known work around. 
 
    
   
 •CSCts50077 
 
    
   
 The Cisco SAMI reloads because of a health monitoring failure and the following syslog message is generated: 
 
    
   
 
    
%PLATFORM-4-DP_HM_WARN: Failed to receive response from IXP1 in 22 retries, system 
will reboot if it continues to fail receiving response in another 8 retries (i.e. in 
the next 80 secs.) Check `sami health-monitoring' configuration and see `show sami 
health-monitoring' for more info

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when the Cisco SAMI network processor (IXP) fails to respond to health monitor messages sent from a PowerPC (PPC). 
 
    
   
 Workaround: There is currently no known workaround. 
 
    
   
 •CSCts63514 
 
    
   
 GTP Version 1 (GTPv1) PDPs become stuck during standby-to-active switchover. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs with the Cisco LTE SGW or Cisco LTE PGW when PDPs are being deleted because of a new recovery information element (IE) value in the active gateway, which indicates a path restart, while the standby gateway is coming up and starts receiving bulk synchronization for create PDPs from the active gateway. 
 
    
   
 The active gateway immediately reloads after the bulk synchronization when there are PDPs remaining on the restarting path of the active gateway. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: There is currently no known workaround. 
 
    
   
 •CSCts78873 
 
    
   
 The Cisco LTE SGW Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) packet drop counter increments. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when the Cisco LTE SGW is configured to buffer packets. When configured to buffer packets, the SGW buffers packets on a per bearer basis. The SGW supports up to 20 packets per second (pps). The SGW drops packets exceeding this maximum, which causes the CEF packet drop counter to increment. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: There is currently no known workaround. 
 
    
   
 •CSCts95718 
 
    
   
 The Cisco Mobile Wireless Transport Manager (MWTM) displays negative values for free memory.

 •CSCtr12187 
 
    
   
 The PDP context becomes stuck on the Cisco LTE Serving Gateway (SGW). 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when a delete session request is sent to the Mobile Management Entity (MME) for the PDP when the SGW is waiting for a delete bearer response message from the MME. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtr70157 
 
    
   
 Lawful interception fails to do provision a mediation device (MD) and an snmpset request returns a "No-Creation" error. Additionally, an snmpwalk returns nothing from the SNMP Mediation Table. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs only when the incorrect ifIndex is used in snmpset. 
 
     
    
    
   
 Cisco SAMI Caveats 
 
    
   
 This section lists the Cisco SAMI caveats that are resolved with Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.3.6, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3e. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtq88202 
 
    
   
 The ucdump -t command does not recognize VLAN and L2VD tables as valid arguments. 
 
    
   
 The condition relates only to the display of the VLAN and L2VD tables using the ucdump -t command from the IXP console. The tables are setup correctly and traffic is forwarded successfully based on these tables. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtr31428 
 
    
   
 The Cisco SAMI IXP micro-engine threads used to configure data paths might take a lock on tables and not freeing it, thereby holding the lock indefinitely. 
 
    
   
 This fix catches these issues for debugging purposes. Use the ucdump -t LOCK command to dump debugging information when a lock is held infinitely. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtr31558 
 
    
   
 Continuous IXP IPC failure error messages are seen from the Cisco SAMI: 
 
    
   
 
    
%PLATFORM-3-SAMI_IPC_IXP_FAIL: IPC timed out for IXP<ixp no> for Msgcode <msg>, Num 
tries: <tries>

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 This condition typically occurs when the Cisco SAMI IXP stops processing IPC messages from the Cisco SAMI processors. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtr32854 
 
    
   
 The syslog messages "PLATFORM-3-SAMI_IPC_IXP_FAIL:" is observed when the Cisco SAMI IXP receives out of order configuration messages, for example, when the IXP receives a modify PDP request before a create PDP request or after a free PDP message. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtr81828 
 
    
   
 The Cisco SAMI reloads with the following syslog error message 
 
    
   
 
    
"%PLATFORM-1-DP_HM_FAIL: Failed to receive response from IXP<1/2>. Check `sami 
health-monitoring' configuration and see `show sami health-monitoring' for more info"

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 The condition occurs when the network processor (IXP) fails to respond to Health Monitoring (HM) messages sent by the SAMI PowerPCs (PPCs). 
 
    
   
 The IXP maintains packets, including HM messages, in DRAM buffers. The pointers to these buffers (also known as the buffer handles) are maintained by q-arrays. Expected behavior is that the q-arrays provide valid buffer handles, however, when a Null (invalid) buffer handle is de-queued by q-array, the hardware assist, which maintains the q-array buffer becomes corrupted and the IXP reaches a state where it does not process incoming packets any longer.

 This section lists the SGW caveats that are open in Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.3.5, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T35c. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtq81769 
 
    
   
 Sessions remain stale in the Cisco LTE SGW. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when a bearer resource create (BRC) is sent with a bidirectional traffic flow template (TFT) from the Mobility Management Entity (MME), and the SGW forwards the same to Cisco LTE PGW. The PGW rejects the BRC and replies to the SGW with bearer resource failure indication (BRFI). The SGW rejects the BRFI from the PGW. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: Reconnect or perform a local clear on the SGW to remove the stale session.

 For dual stack sessions belonging to APNs with Mobile Express Forwarding (MEF) switching enabled, the "MEF uplink packets / links" field displays some non zero values immediately after the sessions come up. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when sessions belonging to an APN, which has dual stack configured (using the gtp bearer dual-addr access-point configuration command) and has MEF switching enabled. The show gprs gtp pdp-context tid command output displays some non zero values in the "MEF uplink packets / links" field. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: There is currently no known workaround. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtk01565 
 
    
   
 Mobile Express Forwarding (MEF) stops forwarding packets in the Cisco LTE SGW. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when the Cisco LTE SGW receives a packet in which the inner IP packet is malformed. Specifically, the length field of the inner packet has a corrupted value. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: Disable MEF using the no mef access-point configuration command.

 •CSCtk83766 
 
    
   
 When the limit volume yyy command is configured under a charging profile, the limit volume yyy reset command does not work, and vice versa. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when the values for the two commands are not the same. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtq57867 
 
    
   
 In a redundant implementation, the requested APN Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate (APN-AMBR) values are not synced to the standby Cisco LTE SGW. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when the session is created. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtq65935 
 
    
   
 The Cisco LTE SGW crashes when a error indication is received from eNodeB/Radio Network Controller (RNC) for a dual-stack APN PDP context. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when change request (CR) 278 of 3GPP TS 29.274 is enabled on the SGW by using the cr LTE compliance profile command, and the dual-stack session is deleted in the eNodeB/RNC and the SGW forwards downstream data to it. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtq70714 
 
    
   
 A progressive memory leak occurs on the Cisco LTE SGW Proxy Control Processor (PCOP) when there is a Connection Set Identifier (CSID) delete PDP connection response failure received.

 This condition occurs when the SGW deletes a set of PDP contexts that have a common CSID and sends a delete PDN connection request to the Cisco LTE PGW. The PGW returns a negative response. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtq71187 
 
    
   
 Downstream data traffic is sent to the Cisco LTE SGW instead of an SGSN when a GTPv1 to GTPv2 handover failure occurs because of Quality of Service (QoS). 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs with the following sequence of events: 
 
    
   
  1. A GTPv1 PDP context with streaming class is created. 
 
    
   
  2. A GTPv1 to GTPv2 handoff request is sent to the SGW so that it sends a Maximum Bit Rate (MBR) to the Cisco LTE PGW. 
 
    
   
  3. The converted QoS is used as QCI-4, which is Guarantee Bit Rate (GBR) bearer. Therefore, the PGW rejects the handover saying the default bearer can not be the GBR bearer and sends the packets to the SGW instead of the SGSN. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtq74189 
 
    
   
 In a redundant implementation, a memory leak occurs on the active Cisco LTE SGW Traffic and Control Plane processors (TCOPs) after a couple of hours of continuous traffic and PDP context creates and deletes. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when the path protocol to the charging gateway is TCP (gprs charging path-protocol tcp). 
 
     
    
   
 Cisco SAMI Caveats 
 
    
   
 This section lists the Cisco SAMI caveats that are resolved with Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.3.5, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T35c. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtk12410 
 
    
   
 When two Cisco SAMIs are configured as an active standby pairs, any unexpected reload of one of the processors in the standby SAMI can cause the active SAMI to reload because of an RF induced self-reload. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs if the HSRP priority of the standby SAMI is greater than the priority of the active SAMI, either because of explicit configuration or based on the IP address of the active and standby SAMIs. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtn10003 
 
    
   
 When Remote Console and Logging (RCAL) is enabled on the Cisco Service and Application Module for IP (SAMI), the following error messages displays when a create context request is received, or a GTPv2 to GTPv1 handoff occurs on the PGW with the Radio Access Technology Type (RAT) type "5" (HSPA EVOLUTION): 
 
    
   
 
    
SAMI 1/4: Jun  8 04:47:42.859: %GTP-0-NORESOURCE: GSN: 0.0.0.0, TID: 00, APN: NULL, 
Reason: Invalid RAT value for recommended RAT IE

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 The RAT type is set to null.

 •CSCtc68037 
 
    
   
 A Cisco IOS device might experience an unexpected reload as a result of mtrace packet processing. 
 
     
    
    
   
 Unreproducible Caveats 
 
    
   
 This section lists a caveats that are unreproducible in Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.3.5, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T35c. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtq63118 
 
    
   
 After a system reload, both gateways in a redundant implementation might end up in an active or active-drain state. This condition is rarely seen upon a reload at almost the same time of both gateways in a redundant implementation. This condition is more likely to occur when the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) connectivity for the redundant configuration is lost. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtq74652 
 
    
   
 When Remote Console and Logging (RCAL) is enabled on the Cisco SAMI, the RCAL show proc cpu and the show proc memory commands cause the TCOP CPU to become stuck at 99% usage. 
 
    
   
 This issue is observed after a few hours under the following conditions: 
 
    
   
  a. 66K sessions are created and deleted at 300 calls per sec. 
 
    
   
  b. Standby gateway is continuously reloading. 
 
    
   
  c. The charging gateway interface is flapping. 
 
    
   
  d. A script is executed every 5 seconds to show the following commands 
 
    
   
  show proc cpu | include five seconds 
 
    
   
  show gprs gtp status | inc activated session

 •CSCtq71301 
 
    
   
 An "INVALID_ID: bad id in id_get (Out of IDs!) (id: 0x0)" syslog message is generated on the standby SGW/PGW. This syslog message is a generic one and does not always indicate the issue. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when more that 16384 paths are created (but do not necessarily exist simultaneously) and are synchronized to the standby gateway. 
 
    
   
 If on the standby gateway, the show gprs redundancy command output displays a count more than 16384 in the Path Setup messages field, this is probably the issue.

 SNMP query for entPhysicalParentRelPos returns an incorrect value. This condition occurs because the SNMP query returns negative values because of an error in initialization of the data structure containing the processor details. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtn31609 
 
    
   
 SNMP query for cpmCPUTotalPhysicalIndex returns an incorrect value. This condition occurs when the SNMP query is made for cpmCPUTotalPhysicalIndex 1, and an invalid value of 0 (zero) is returned instead of 2 because of an initialization error of the related table. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtn48330 
 
    
   
 A crash occurs on the standby SGW when synchronizing SNMP MIB information. This condition occurs because MIB information is being synchronized from the PCOP and TCOPs when it should only be sychronized from the PCOP.

 Cisco SAMI Caveats 
 
    
   
 This section lists the Cisco SAMI caveat that is open with Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.2, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3b. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtk01565 
 
    
   
 Mobile Express Forwarding (MEF) stops forwarding packets in the Cisco LTE SGW. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs when the Cisco LTE SGW receives a packet in which the inner IP packet is malformed. Specifically, the length field of the inner packet has a corrupted value. 
 
    
   
 Workaround: Disable MEF using the no mef access-point configuration command.

 •CSCtj06869 
 
    
   
 A Traffic and Control Plane Processor (TCOP) spikes for a long time during an SNMP query with 192K static traffic, 192K create/delete requests, and 192K create at 1200 cps. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs with the following sequence of events: 
 
    
   
  a. Reload gateways 
 
    
   
  b. Create 192K static dual-stack sessions with traffic 
 
    
    
   
  c. Create/delete 192K at 1200CPS in a loop 
 
    
   
  d. Create 192K at 120CPS with same International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) as in Step c 
 
    
   
  e. On the SNMP server, do an snmpwalk and getmany on cGgsnExtMIB 
 
    
   
 Issue the show processor cpu command to display that the Proxy Control Processor (PCOP) stays at 98% for a long time. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtk82409 
 
    
   
 For dual-stack or IPv6 only sessions, the Cisco LTE SGW returns the prefix in the Create Session Request it received from the mobile management entity (MME) instead of sending the prefix length that Cisco LTE PGW returns in the Create Session Response. 
 
    
   
 This condition occurs only when the UE uses dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) and IPv6 sessions. 
 
     
    
   
 Cisco SAMI Caveats 
 
    
   
 The following Cisco SAMI caveat is resolved with Cisco LTE SGW Release 1.2, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T3b. 
 
    
   
 •CSCtg64608 
 
    
   
 The Cisco LTE gateway allows out of sequence traffic. This condition occurs when sending upstream traffic with the sequence number set to FFFF only with Mobile Express Forwarding (MEF). With Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF), the packets are dropped as designed.
