Configuring the CP-Initiated N4 Association Setup Feature

This section describes how to configure the CP-Initiated N4 Association Setup feature.

Configuring this feature involves using the "sx-association initiated-by-cp" CLI command in the Control Plane Group Configuration mode. The default configuration is UPF-initiated N4 association setup procedure.

Use the following configuration to configure the N4 association setup feature.


configure 
   context 
      control-plane-group group_name 
         peer-node-id ipv4-address ip_address interface n4 
         sx-association { initiated-by-cp | initiated-by-up } 
         end 

NOTES:

  • initiated-by-cp: This keyword is used to initiate the Sx association request through control plane.

  • initiated-by-up: This keyword is used to initiate the Sx association request through user plane.

  • By default, the UPF-initiated N4 association setup procedure is configured.

  • To revert to the default setting, use the no sx-association command.
