Exits the current mode and returns to the parent configuration mode.

Enables the specification of some of the optional fields in the CDRs that the GSN (GGSN or SGSN) generates and/or how the information is to be presented. Many keywords are also applicable to S-GW and P-GW CDRs.

default

Resets the default attribute values for this GTPP group configuration.

no

Disables the specified optional field so that the information will not be present in generated CDRs.

apn-ambr [ include-for-all-bearers | include-for-default-bearer | include-for-non-gbr-bearers ]

Default: Disabled

This keyword controls the inclusion of the optional field "apn-ambr" in the PGW-CDRs in the custom24 GTPP dictionary.

Important

This keyword option will be available only if a valid license is installed. For more information, contact your Cisco account representative.

The APN Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate (AMBR) is a subscription parameter stored per APN. It limits the aggregate bit rate that can be expected to be provided across all non-GBR bearers and across all PDN connections of the same APN. Each of these non-GBR bearers potentially utilize the entire APN AMBR, e.g. when the other non-GBR bearers do not carry any traffic. The APN AMBR is present as part of QoS information.

In 15.0 and later releases, this CLI command should be configured along with the following additional options to support APN-AMBR reporting in SGW-CDRs in all GTPP dictionaries.

This feature is required to enable post-processing of CDRs to verify MVNO subscribers actual QoS against invoicing systems.

Important

This CLI command and the associated options are not available for products other than S-GW and P-GW. The option "non-gbr-bearers-only " is available in S-GW and P-GW but the other options are available in S-GW only.

In the P-GW implementation, if the CLI command "gtpp attribute apn-ambr " is configured, it will be treated as "gtpp attribute apn-ambr non-gbr-bearers-only ". In case of S-GW/P-GW combo if any of the options is configured, it will be considered that the attribute is available.

apn-ni

Default: Enabled

This keyword controls the inclusion of the optional field "APN" in the x-CDRs.

apn-selection-mode

Default: Enabled

This keyword controls the inclusion of the optional field "APN Selection Mode" in the x-CDRs.

camel-info

Note that the CLI command "gtpp attribute diagnostics " will disable abnormal-release-cause and enable the diagnostics field. The no gtpp attribute diagnostics command will disable both abnormal-release-cause and diagnostics field.

Important

The Abnormal Bearer Termination feature is currently applicable only to custom34 and custom35 GTPP dictionaries. That is, the bearer termination cause is populated in SGW-CDR for custom34 and custom35 dictionaries, and PGW-CDRs for custom35 GTPP dictionary when the cause for record closing is "Abnormal Release".

direct-tunnel

Default: Disabled

Includes the Direct Tunnel field in PGW-CDR/eG-CDRs.

This keyword is applicable for GGSN, P-GW and S-GW only.

duration-ms

Specifies that the information contained in the mandatory Duration field be reported in milliseconds instead of seconds (as the standards require). Default: Disabled

dynamic-flag

Default: Enabled

This keyword controls the inclusion of the optional field "Dynamic Flag" in the x-CDRs.

dynamic-flag-extension

Default: Enabled

This keyword controls the inclusion of the optional field "Dynamic Address Flag Extension" in the x-CDRs.

This field is seen in the CDR when the IPv4 address is dynamically assigned for a dual PDP context. This extension field is required in the 3GPP Release 10 compliant CDRs so that the Dual Stack Bearer support is available.

extended-bitrate

Default: Disabled

This keyword controls the inclusion of extended bit-rate information in P-GW CDRs when the APN-AMBR, MBR, or GBR is greater than 4.2 Gbps.

furnish-charging-information

Default: Disabled

This keyword controls the inclusion of the optional field "pSFurnishChargingInformation" in the eG-CDRs and PGW-CDRs.

Important

The Furnish Charging Information (FCI) feature is applicable to all GTPP dictionaries compliant to 3GPP Rel.7 and 3GPP Rel.8 except custom43 dictionary. This keyword option will be available only if a valid license is installed. For more information, contact your Cisco account representative.

PGW-CDR and eG-CDR will contain FCI only if it is enabled at command level, i.e. using the gtpp attribute furnish-charging-information command in GTPP Server Group Configuration mode.

Whenever FCI changes, a new Free-Format-Data (FFD) value is either appended to existing FFD or overwritten on the existing FDD depending on Append-Free-Format-Data (AFFD) flag. CDR is not generated upon FCI change.

FCI is supported in main CDR as well as in LOSDV. Whenever a trigger (volume, time, RAT, etc.) happens current available FFD at command level is added to the main body of the CDR. The same FFD at command level is added to the main body of the next CDRs until it is not appended or overwritten by next Credit-Control-Answer message at command level.

In the case of custom43 dictionary, the FCI implementation will be as follows:

imei

Default: Disabled

For SGSN: includes the IMEI value in the S-CDR.

For GGSN: includes the IMEISV value in the G-CDR.

imsi-unauthenticated-flag

Default: Enabled

This keyword controls the inclusion of the optional field "IMSI Unauthenticated Flag" in the x-CDRs.

When the served IMSI is not authenticated, this field "IMSI Unauthenticated Flag" if configured, will be present in the P-GW CDR record for custom35 dictionary. This field is added per 3GPP TS 32.298 v10.7.

lapi

Default: Disabled

Includes the Low Access Priority Indicator (LAPI) field in the CDRs. This field is required to support MTC feature.

When UE indicates low priority connection, then the "lowPriorityIndicator" attribute will be included in the CDR.

last-ms-timezone

Sets the "Last MS-Timezone" in the CDR field. This option would be disabled when the default option is used.

last-uli

Sets the "Last ULI" in the CDR field. This option would be disabled when the default option is used.

local-record-sequence-number

Default: Disabled

This keyword provides both the local record sequence number and the Node ID. In the x-CDRs, this field indicates the number of CDRs generated by the node and is unique within the session manager.

The Node ID field is included in the x-CDR for any of several reasons, such as when PDP contexts are released or if partial-CDR is generated based on configuration. The field will consist of a AAA Manager identifier automatically appended to the name of the SGSN or GGSN service.

The name of the SGSN or GGSN service may be truncated, because the maximum length of the Node ID field is 20 bytes. Since each AAA Manager generates CDRs independently, this allows the Local Record Sequence Number and Node ID fields to uniquely identify a CDR.

Important

If the gtpp single-source centralized-lrsn is configured, the 'Node-ID' field consists of only the specified NodeID-suffix. If NodeID-suffix is not configured, GTPP group name is used. For default GTPP groups, GTPP context-name is used. If the gtpp single-source centralized-lrsn is not configured, then node-id format for CDRs generated by Sessmgr is as follows: <1-byte Sessmgr restartvalue><3-byte Sessmgr instance number> <node-id-suffix>. If the gtpp single-source centralized-lrsn is not configured, then node-id format for CDRs generated by ACSmgr is as follows: <1-byte ACSmgr restart-value> <3-byte ACSmgr instance number> <Active charging service-name>.

losdv

Default: Enabled

This keyword controls the inclusion of the optional field "List of Service Data" in the x-CDRs.

ms-timezone

Default: Enabled

node-id-suffix STRING

Default: Disabled

Specifies the configured Node-ID-Suffix to use in the NodeID field of GTPP CDRs as an alphanumeric string of 1 through 16 characters. Each Session Manager task generates a unique NodeID string per GTPP context.

Important

The NodeID field is a printable string of the ndddSTRING format: n : The first digit is the Sessmgr restart counter having a value between 0 and 7. ddd : The number of sessmgr instances. Uses the specified NodeID-suffix in all CDRs. The "Node-ID" field consists of sessMgr Recovery counter (1 digit) n + AAA Manager identifier (3 digits) ddd + the configured Node-Id-suffix (1 to 16 characters) STRING . If the centralized LRSN feature is enabled, the "Node-ID" field will consist of only the specified NodeID-suffix (NodeID-prefix is not included). If this option is not configured, then GTPP group name will be used instead (For default GTPP groups, context-name will be used).

Important

If this node-id-suffix is not configured, the GGSN uses the GTPP context name as the Node-id-suffix (truncated to 16 characters) and the SGSN uses the GTPP group named as the node-id-suffix.

packet-count

Important

This keyword is available only when the SaMOG Mixed Mode license (supporting both 3G and 4G) is configured.

Default: sgwrecord

Specifies the SaMOG CDR type to use.

For an SaMOG 3G license, this keyword will not be available. However, sgsnpdprecord type will be used as the default record type.

served-mnai

Default: Disabled

This keyword controls the inclusion of the optional field "Served MNAI" in the x-CDRs.

served-pdp-pdn-address-extension

Default: Disabled

In support of IPv4v6 dual-stack PDP address types, this keyword causes the service to include IPv4v6 address information in the CDR. The IPv4 address goes in the Served PDP PDN Address Extension field and the IPv6 address goes in the Served PDP Address or Served PDP PDN Address field.

Important

This attribute will not be displayed if the GTPP dictionary is set to custom34.

Note	For SGSN, on enabling served-pdp-pdn-address-extension all custom S-CDR dictionaries will support the CDR field "Served PDP/ PDN Address extension" except for the following dictionaries: custom17 custom18 custom23 custom42 custom41

Specifies the maximum number of List of Traffic Data Volume (LoTDV) containers in one eG-CDR/P-CDR.

max_lotdv_containers must be an integer from 1 through 8.

Default: 8

dynamic-path ddl-path

This keyword activates a new and extensible framework to enable field defined (customer created) eGCDR/PGW-CDR generation. This option enables the user to load the customized or modified dictionary. The dictionary configured through this CLI command takes precedence over existing the gtpp dictionary CLI command.

This new framework is implemented to define a GTPP dictionary in a structured format using a "Dictionary Definition Language (DDL)". Using this language, customers can clearly define fields, triggers and behaviors applicable for a particular GTPP dictionary.

DDL file will be parsed at compilation time and metadata will be populated to generate eGCDR and PGW-CDR. This metadata makes the new framework more modular and maintainable. This will help in faster turnaround time in supporting any new enhancements.

When customer wants to add/modify/remove a field, this information has to be updated in DDL. The DDL file is processed dynamically and the field reflects in CDR. This framework works only for eGCDR and PGW-CDR.

ddl-path : Specifies the path of dictionary DDL. The path must be a string of size 0 through 127. This is to support field-loadable ddls. The DDL file will be parsed to populate metadata required to generate eGCDR/PGW-CDR.

Important

It is not recommended to enable gtpp egcdr dynamic-path when there are active calls.

In this release, both current and new framework are functional to enable field defined (customer created) eGCDR/PGW-CDR generation. By default, the new framework is disabled.

rulebase-max-length rulebase_name_max_length

Specifies the maximum character length of charging rulebase name in LOSDVs of eG- CDR/P-GW-CDR.

rulebase_name_max_length must be an integer from 0 through 63. Zero (0) means the rulebase name is added as-is.

Default: None. That is, full (un-truncated) charging rulebase name will go in LOSDVs of eG-CDR/P-GW-CDR.

service-data-flow threshold { interval interval | volume { downlink bytes [ uplink bytes ] | total bytes | uplink bytes [ downlink bytes ] } }

Configures the thresholds for closing a service data flow container within an eG-CDR/P-CDR.

A service data flow container has statistics for an individual content ID. When the threshold is reached, the service data flow container is closed.

In 12.3 and earlier releases, when the CLI command gtpp egcdr service-data-flow threshold interval was configured to 'n' seconds, the difference between "timeOfFirstUsage" and "timeOfReport" of LOSDV was always 'n' seconds for the LOSDVs closed due to "service-data-flow" threshold. Here, changeTime of LOSDV was reported incorrectly. It was always timeOfFirstUsage + 'n'. This does not hold true when the traffic for a particular content ID was not continuous.

In StarOS release 14.0 and later, when the command gtpp egcdr service-data-flow threshold interval is configured to 'n' seconds, the difference between "timeOfFirstUsage" and "timeOfReport" of LOSDV can be any value between 1 and 'n' seconds depending on the continuity of traffic. If the traffic is not continuous, the difference is less than 'n' seconds. And if the traffic is continuous the difference will be 'n' seconds. When this CLI command is configured in the GTPP Server Group Configuration mode, each LOSDV will be closed at configured regular interval after the arrival of first packet.

service-idle-timeout { 0 | service_idle_timeout }

Specifies a time period during which if no data is reported for a service flow, the service container is closed and added to eG-CDR/P-CDR (as part of LOSDV container list) with service condition change as ServiceIdleOut.

0 : Specifies there is no service-idle-timeout trigger.

service_idle_timeout is an integer from 10 through 86,400. Default: 0

Configures the response when the system receives an error response after transmitting a DRT (data record transfer) request.

default

Resets the system's configuration to the default value for error-response. Default is retry-request.

retry-request

Retries sending a DRT after receiving an error response. This is the default behavior.

Configures maximum number of Secondary RAT usage record entries in the P-GW and S-GW CDRs. If the limit is configured with a value more than 32, the partial CDRs get generated with maximum of 32 for S-GW CDR.

default

Specifies a default value of 32.

gtpp limit-secondary-RAT-usageusage_limit

Specifies a maximum number of secondary RAT reports ranging from 1 to 100. Recommended value for S-GW CDR is 32.

For example, if the limit is set to 10, then the CDR is generated once the configured value is reached.

tariff time1 mins hours [ time2 mins hours [ time3 mins hours [ time4 mins hours ] ] ]

Specifies time-of-day time values to close the current statistics container (but not necessarily the accounting record). Default: Disabled

Important

The system assumes that the billing system uses the day/date to determine if the statistics container represents an actual tariff period.

Configures the download traffic data volume based trigger for GTPP MBMS Charging Data Record (G-MBMS-CDR) generation.

no

Disables the configured download traffic data volume based trigger for G-MBMS-CDR generation for MBMs user service data.

volume download_bytes

Specifies the threshold of downlink data volumes that (in bytes) must be met before a G-MBMS-CDR should be closed as an integer from 100000 through 4000000000. Default: Disabled

Set preference for IMEI over MAC address and encode IMEI in the servedIMEISV field of the CDR.

default | no

Specify to prioritize MAC over IMEI and encode it in servedIMEISV field. This is the existing behavior.

If MAC is not available, then IMEI is encoded in the servedIMEISV field.

Configures the system to allow/disallow the redirection of CDRs when the primary CGF is unavailable.

default

Resets the system to allow redirection of CDRs.

no

Removes the redirection definition from the configuration.

This command has been obsoleted and is replaced by the gtpp redirection-allowed command.

Configures the charging gateway function (CGF) accounting server(s) with in GTPP server group that the system is to communicate with.

no

Deletes a previously configured CGF.

ip_address

Specifies the IP address of the CGF in IPv4 dotted-decimal or IPv6 colon-separated-hexadecimal notation.

max msgs

Specifies the maximum number of outstanding or unacknowledged GTPP packets (from any one AAA Manager task) allowed for this CGF before the system begins buffering the packets.

msgs can be configured to an integer from 1 to 256. Default: 256

Important

In release 16.0, a warning message is displayed if the user tries to configure a value greater than 100 and the max-outstanding is configured as 100. This is because there is an internal limit of up to 100 max outstanding requests that can be configured.

priority priority

Default:1000

Specifies the relative priority of this CGF as an integer from 1 through 1000. When multiple CGFs are configured, the priority is used to determine which CGF server to send accounting data to. When configuring two or more servers with the same priority you will be asked to confirm that you want to do this.

If you use the -noconfirm option, you are not asked for confirmation and multiple servers could be assigned the same priority.

-noconfirm

Executes this command without any additional prompt and confirmation from the user.

Configures whether the system validates the UDP source port in received GTPP messages.

default

Restores this parameter to its default setting of enabled.

no

Validates the IP source address but not the UDP source port.

Configures information for the GTPP back-up storage server.

no

Removes a previously configured back-up storage server.

ip_address

port port_num

Specifies the UDP port number over which the GGSN communicates with the back-up storage server. Default: 3386

Configures the parameters for GTPP files stored locally on the GTPP storage server.

no

Removes a previously configured parameters for local storage of CDR files on HDD on SMC card.

compression { gzip | none }

Configures the type of compression to be used on the files stored locally.

gzip — Enables Gzip file compression.

none — Disables Gzip file compression -this is the default value.

custom1 — File format custom1 - this is the default file format.

custom2 to custom5 Customer specific CDR file formats.

custom6 — File format custom6 with a block size of 8K for CDR files.

custom7 — File format custom7 is a customer specific CDR file format.

custom8 — File format custom8 is a customer specific CDR file format. It uses node-id-suffix _date _time _fixed-length-seq-num .u format for file naming where:

• date is date in MMDDYYYYY (01312010) for mat

• time is time in HHMMSS (023508) format

• fixed-length-seq-num is the fixed length of the sequence number for s specific file having a 6-digit counter starting from 000001 and ending at 999999. When file sequence reaches 999999, the sequence is reset to 000001.

name format string

Allows the format of the CDR filenames to be configured independently so that the name format contains the file name with conversion specifications.

string — is an alphanumeric string of 1 through 127 characters. It must begin with the % (percent sign).

• %y = year as a decimal number without century (range 00 to 99).

• %Y = year as a decimal number with century.

• %m = month as a decimal number (range 01 to 12).

• %d = day of the month as a decimal number (range 01 to 31).

• %H = hour as a decimal number 24-hour format (range 00 to 23).

• %h = hour as a decimal number 12-hour format (range 01 to 12).

• %M = minute as a decimal number (range 00 to 59).

• %S = second as a decimal number (range 00 to 60). (The range is up to 60 to allow occasional leap seconds.)

• %Q = file sequence number. Field width may be specified between the % and the Q. If the natural size of the field is smaller than this width, then the result string is padded (on the left) to the specified width with 0s

• %N = No of CDRs in the file. Field width may be specified between the % and the N. If the natural size of the field is smaller than this width, then the result string is padded (on the left) to the specified width with 0s

• %% = This field is used to add % to the CDR file name.

• max-file-seq-no: This can be configured optionally. It indicates the maximum value of sequence number in file name (starts from 1). Once the configured max-file-seq-no limit is reached, the sequence number will restart from 1. If no max-file-seq-no is specified then file sequence number ranges from 1- 4294967295.

By default the above keyword is not configured (default gtpp storage-server local file name format). In which case the CDR filenames are generated based on the file format as before (maintains backward compatibility).

name prefix prefix

Defines the prefix to be used for the file name. By default the file name prefix would be "GTPP-group-name + VPN-ID". It is possible to have a NULL value prefix where the system would enter a default, which would be group+vpn ,

prefix — is an alphanumeric string of 1 through 64 characters, Do not enter a value (NULL).

purge-processed-files [ file-name-pattern file_pattern | purge-interval purge_dur ]

Enables the GSN to periodically (every 4 minutes) delete locally processed (*.p) CDR files from the HDD on the SMC card. Default: Disabled

This keyword also deletes the processed push files (tx.*,under $CDR_PATH/TX/tx.*) a well when purging is enabled instead of "*.p:*.P".

Important

This option is available only when GTPP server storage mode is configured for local storage of CDRs with the gtpp storage-server mode local command.

Optional keyword file-name-pattern file_pattern provides an option for user to control the pattern of files. file_pattern must be mentioned in "*.p:*.P:tx.*" format in a string of size 1 through 127, which is also the default format. Wildcards * and: (synonymous to |) are allowed.

Optional keyword purge-interval purge_dur provides an option for user to control the purge interval duration (in minutes). purge_dur must be an integer from 1 through 259200. Default value 60.

push { encrypted-url encrypted_url | url url } [ encrypted-secondary-url encrypted_url | secondary-url url ] [ source-address ip_address ] [ via-local-context ]

Enables push method to transfer local CDR files to remote system.

• encrypted-url : Defines use of an encrypted url.

• encrypted_url must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 8192 characters in SFTP format.

• url : Location where the CDR files are to be transferred.

• url must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 1024 characters in the format:

  scheme://user:password@host

• encrypted-secondary-url : Defines use of an encrypted secondary url.

• encrypted_url must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 8192 characters in SFTP format.

• secondary-url : Secondary location where the CDR files are to be transferred, in case primary is unreachable.

• url must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 1024 characters in the format:

  scheme://user:password@host

  Important

  When a file transfer to primary fails four times, the transfer of files will automatically be failed over to the secondary server. The transfer will switch back to the original primary after 30 minutes, or if there are four transfer failures to the secondary server.

• source-address ip_address : Configures the source IP address to be used to establish the connection for the SFTP/SSH file-transfer operation.

• via-local-context : Pushes the CDR files via SPIO in the local context.

  Default: Pushes via the group's context.

  Important

  If the push is done through gtpp context, then the push rate is lesser compared to via local context as the HDD is attached to the local context.

rotation { cdr-count count | time-interval time [ force-rotation ] | volume size }

Specifies rotation related configuration for GTPP files stored locally.

cdr-count count : Configures the CDR count for the file rotation as an integer from 1000 through 65000. Default value 10000.

time-interval time : Configures the time interval for file rotation (in seconds) as an integer from 30 through 86400. Default: 3600 (1 hour).

force-file-rotation : Forces CDR file-rotation at a specified interval configured via the time-interval keyword, even if no CDRs were generated. By default this keyword is Disabled.

volume size — : Configures the file volume (in megabytes) for file rotation as an integer from 2 through 40. This trigger can not be disabled. Default: 10

start-file-seq-num seq_num [ recover-file-seq-num

Default: disabled

Enables the continuous file sequence number function. start-file-seq-num specifies the lowest number to be used as a file sequence number in the case of an aaaproxy or a chassis restart/reboot.

seq_num is an integer from 1 to 4294967295. Entering a value of 1 disables the recover file sequence number function. Entering any other number, for example 10, would instruct the system to always start from 10 as the file sequence number in the event of an aaaproxy or chassis reload.

When files are moved, the file sequence numbers are synced and stored in both RAM and the hard disk drive (HDD). recover-file-seq-num instructs the system to recover the last (largest) stored file sequence number, in the event of an aaaproxy/chassis restart/reboot, to continue file sequence numbering rather than resetting the file sequence numbering to the lowest start file sequence number.

Important

After you configure this keyword, you must save the configuration and then reload the chassis for the command to take effect. For information on saving the configuration file and reloading the chassis, refer to the System Administration Guide for your deployment.

Configures the maximum number of times the system attempts to communicate with an unresponsive GTPP back-up storage server.

default

Restores the system to the default value of 2 retry attempts.

max_attempts

Specifies the number of times the system attempts to communicate with a GTPP back-up storage server that is not responding as an integer from 1 to 15. Default: 2

Configures the storage mode (local, remote or streaming for CDRs) to be used. Local storage mode is available with ASR 5000 platforms only.

default

Returns the GTPP group configuration to the default "remote" value for the GTPP storage server mode.

local

Specifies the use of the hard disk for storing CDRs. Default: Disabled

Important

This option is available with ASR 5000 platforms only.

remote

Specifies the use of an external server for storing CDRs. This is the default value.

Important

When the external server is down, the Session Managers will start buffering up to a maximum of 26400 CDRs or a total of 120 MB worth of CDRs, whichever limit reaches first. The maximum CDR limit specified is per the session manager. The chassis level limit varies depending on the number of session manager instances and number of active cards.

streaming [ parallel ]

Specifies the use of HDD to store CDRs in case if CGF fails and then stream the CDRs to the CGF when CGF is up. Streaming can be done in a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) or parallel mode. Default: streaming (FIFO)

In the streaming mode, when the CGF becomes active, CDRs in HDD are streamed in a First-In-First-Out order. In this mode, newly generated CDRs are routed to CGF via HDD.

parallel : In this mode, when the CGF becomes active, CDRs in HDD are streamed at slower pace. Newly generated CDRs are sent directly to CGF servers along with CDRs streamed from HDD.

In PARALLEL mode, rate of streaming from HDD will be slow. The maximum requests that can be streamed from HDD will be either set to 1 or 25% of the available bandwidth (i.e. max outstanding - outstanding req) if it is greater than 1. It is expected that the billing domain should be capable of handling Out-Of-Order CDRs in parallel streaming mode.

Configures the amount of time that must pass with no response before the system re-attempts to communicate with the GTPP back-up storage server.

default

Restores the timeout duration to the default of 30 seconds.

duration

Specifies the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that the system waits for a response from the GTPP back-up storage server before assuming the packet is lost.

duration is an integer from 30 through 120. Default: 30

Suppresses the CDRs with zero byte data count, so that the OCG node is not overloaded with a flood of CDRs. By default this mode is "disabled".

default | no

Disables the CDR suppression mode. By default this command is disabled and system will not suppress any CDR.

final-cdr

Suppresses only the Final Zero Volume CDRs i.e. the CDRs that are generated when the session ends.

internal-trigger-cdr

Supresses Zero Volume interim CDRs that are generated due to internal triggers such as volume limit, time limit, tariff change or user generated interims through the CLI commands.

external-trigger-cdr

Supresses Zero Volume interim CDRs that are generated due to external triggers such as QoS Change, RAT change and so on.

Suppresses the CDRs created by session having zero duration and/or zero volume. By default this mode is "disabled".

default

Disables the CDR suppression mode.

gcdrs [ egcdrs ]

Specifies that this command will handle G-CDRs before eG-CDR/P-CDRs.

gcdrs [ egcdrs ]

Specifies that this command will handle eG-CDR/P-CDRs before G-CDRs.

Suppresses zero-volume Secondary RAT Usage report. By default this mode is "disabled".

gtpp v1-header-suppress-zeros

Enables extra zeros in the version1 header. The 14-octet length zeros does not get included in the version-1 header.

Configures the amount of time that must pass with no response before the system re-attempts to communicate with the CGF.

default

Resets the systems GTPP timeout value to 20 seconds.

time

Specifies the maximum amount of time (in seconds) the system waits for a response from the CGF before assuming the packet is lost.

time is an integer from 1 through 60. Default: 20

Selects the transport layer protocol for Ga interface for communication between AGW (GSNs) and GTPP servers.

default

Resets the transport layer protocol to GTPP servers to the default of UDP.

tcp

Enables the system to implement TCP as transport layer protocol for communication with GTPP server. Default: Disabled

udp

Enables the system to implement UDP as transport layer protocol for communication with GTPP server. Default: Enabled

Disables GTPP trigger conditions that cause either partial CDR record closure or opening of a new CDR record container. GTPP Triggers are specified in 3GPP TS 32.251 v6.6.0. All GTPP trigger changes take effect immediately, except volume-limit.

default

Sets the specified trigger condition back to the default setting. All trigger conditions are enabled by default.

no

Disables the specified trigger condition.

apn-ambr-change [ default-bearer-only | all-non-gbr-bearers | all-bearers ]

Default: Disabled

Enables APN AMBR trigger only for default-bearer or for all bearers for that PDN or selectively for apn-non-gbr bearers.

Important

This keyword option will be available only if a valid license is installed. For more information, contact your Cisco account representative.

The APN Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate (AMBR) is a subscription parameter stored per APN. It limits the aggregate bit rate that can be expected to be provided across all non-GBR bearers and across all PDN connections of the same APN. Each of these non-GBR bearers potentially utilize the entire APN AMBR, e.g. when the other non-GBR bearers do not carry any traffic.

In 15.0 and later releases, this CLI command should be configured along with the following additional options to enable APN-AMBR trigger for SGW-CDRs in all GTPP dictionaries.

Important

This CLI command and the associated options are not available for products other than S-GW and P-GW.

The first container of each CDR includes apn-ambr fields along with QoS. In the following containers this field is present if previous change condition is "QoS change" or "APN AMBR Change".

cell-update

Enables the cell update trigger for S-CDRs, if the dictionary specified in the gtpp dictionary configuration includes support for cell update. This trigger is available only for 2G. Currently, custom18 dictionary supports the cell update trigger.

ciot-userplane-change

Enables User Plane change trigger for CDR.

dcca

This keyword enables or disables the addition of LOSDV in PGW-CDR for the following DCCA generated triggers.

direct-tunnel

Enables the direct tunnel trigger for CDRs.

egcdr max-losdv

Enables the trigger for an eG-CDR/P-CDR if the List of Service Data Volume (LoSDV) containers crosses the configured limit for LOSDV containers. Default: Disabled

ggsn-preservation-mode-change

This keyword is for GGSN only.

This trigger enables the preservation-mode-change trigger for G-CDR.

inter-plmn-sgsn-change

This keyword is for GGSN only.

Disabling this trigger ignores an Inter-PLMN SGSN change and doesn't release a G-CDR. Default: Enabled

ms-timezone-change

This keyword is specific to GGSN.

No partial record closure for a time zone change occurs when this trigger is disabled. MS time zone change should be applicable only for 3GPP R6 based GTPP dictionaries. Default: Enabled

plmn-id-change

This trigger keyword is specific to the 2G SGSN and is proprietary (non-standard).

Enables the PLMNID change trigger for S-CDRs if the dictionary specified in the gtpp dictionary configuration supports the PLMNID change. If enabled, the SGSN generates a partial S-CDR when the MS changes the PLMN while under the same SGSN (intra-system intra-SGSN PLMN-ID handover). Currently, custom18 dictionary supports this trigger. Default: Disabled

qos-change

Enables the QoS-change trigger for CDRs. Disabling this trigger ignores a QoS-change and does not open a new CDR for it. Default: Enabled

When QoS changes are observed, the system generates only containers. However when the max-container condition is reached, an interim CDR is generated.

rat-change [ generate { cdr | container } ]

Enables or disables the partial record closure for a RAT change. If disabled, no partial record closure for a RAT change occurs. RAT change should be applicable only for 3GPP R6 based GTPP dictionaries. Default: Enabled

In SGSN, RAT change trigger (2G<->3G) means inter-service handoff (SGSN service <-> GPRS service). If this trigger is enabled, after the RAT change interim CDR is generated. After this RAT change CDR, CDR thresholds such as volume/time etc. and GTPP Group are applicable from new service. If RAT change trigger is disabled, the CDR thresholds and GTPP group etc. will not change and will continue to use from old service.

After the RAT change, the System Type field in CDR changes to indicate the new system type. If this trigger is disabled, then the next CDR generated will indicate System Type, but the data count in the CDR does not necessarily belong to the system type indicated in CDR; instead, it may belong to both 2G and 3G as CDR is not closing when handover takes place.

Important

The System Type field in CDR-related change is not applicable to customized CDR formats, which does not use the System Type field.

generate { cdr | container } : Sets generation of CDR or just a Container on a RAT change.

cdr : Generates a CDR on a RAT-change.

container : Generates a container only on a RAT-change.

routing-area-update

Enables the routing-area-update trigger for CDRs.

service-idle-out

This keyword enables or disables the addition of LOSDV in PGW-CDR when a service idles out.

Note that the CDR module receives service idle out trigger from DCCA module when the quota hold timer expires, or from ACS manager when rulebase has a service idle out configuration.

serving-node-change-limit [ also-intra-sgsn-multiple-address-group-change ]

This keyword is enabled for P-GW, S-GW, and GGSN. However, the also-intra-sgsn-multiple-address-group-change is enabled only for GGSN. Default: Enabled

Disabling this trigger ignores an SGSN change and does not add the SGSN IP address into the SGSN address list of the CDR. This helps to reduce the release of CDRs due to SGSN changes crossing the configured limit.

also-intra-sgsn-multiple-address-group-change : This keyword includes Intra-SGSN group changes as an SGSN change.

sgsn-change-limit [ also-intra-sgsn-multiple-address-group-change ]

This keyword is obsolete and is available to maintain the backward compatibility for existing customers. The new keyword for sgsn-change-limit is serving-node-change-limit. Default: Enabled

Disabling this trigger ignores an SGSN change and does not add the SGSN IP address into the SGSN address list of the CDR. This helps to reduce the release of CDRs due to SGSN changes crossing the configured limit.

also-intra-sgsn-multiple-address-group-change : This keyword includes Intra-SGSN group changes as an SGSN change.

tariff-time-change

When this trigger is disabled, container closure does not happen for a tariff-time change. Default: Enabled

This trigger is applicable for G-MB-CDRs for MBMS session too.

time-limit

When this trigger is disabled, no partial record closure occurs when the configured time limit is reached. Default: Enabled

This trigger is applicable for G-MB-CDRs for MBMS session too.

uli-change

Enables the user location update trigger for eG-CDRs/PGW-CDRs/SGW-CDRs, if the dictionary specified in the GTPP dictionary configuration includes support for user location update trigger. Default: Enabled

volume-limit

When this trigger is disabled no partial record closure occurs when volume limit is reached. Default: Enabled

This trigger is applicable for G-MB-CDRs for MBMS session too.
