Enabling Gz Interface

Use the configuration commands to enable the Gz interface. When the offline AVP is absent at rule and command level, default offline charging method is applied for the dynamic rule. If the Gz interface is enabled, the default offline charging method for dynamic rules is enabled, else the default offline charging is disabled.

NOTES:

  • rulebase rulebase_name : Specify the name of the ACS rulebase. rulebase_name must be an alphanumeric string of 1 to 63 characters.

    Note
    A rulebase is a collection of protocol rules to match a flow and associated actions to be taken for matching flow.
  • billing-records egcdr value : Specify to enable eG-CDR billing to True. This associates CnPGW-C with Gz interface in the corresponding rulebase profile. Further, if PCRF sends a different rulebase in Gx CCA-I, Gz interface gets enabled or disabled as per billingRecord egcdr configuration received in the new rulebase.

  • profile gtpp-profile profile_name gtpp dictionary dictionary_num : Configure the gtpp profile with dictionary. The correct dictionary is gtpp dictionary custom24. profile_name specifies list of associated GTPP Profile names that are used in a round robin fashion for sessions. The maximum number of gtpp profiles allowed is 4.

  • profile network-element ofcs ofcs_name gtpp-profile profile_name : Configure the network profile ofcs. The OFCS profile config allows option to configure multiple gtpp profiles.

    Note
    Before configuring the network profile ofcs ensure to configure the gtpp-profile.
