Defining the UPF Group
This section describes how to configure the UPF group, and define pdn-session-type, slice-group and other parameters for the UPF group profile.
To define the UPF group profile, use the following sample configuration.
config
profile upf-group upfgroup_name
pdn-session-type [ ipv4 | ipv4v6 | ipv6 ]
dcnr { false | true }
slice-group-list [ slice1 slice2 sliceN ]
location-area-group-list [ la1 la2 laN ]
end
NOTES:
-
profile upf-group upfgroup_name : Specify a name for the UPF group that must be associated to the specified UPF network configuration.
-
pdn-session-type [ ipv4 | ipv4v6 | ipv4v6 ] : Configure the PDN session type that is supported by UPF. The query parameters for pdn-session-type accept the "pdn-type-subscription" and "pdn-type-session". This parameter selects the pdn-type from UDM returned subscription or UE session, respectively.
NoteIf both "pdn-type-subscription" and "pdn-type-session" parameters are configured, SMF considers "pdn-type-subscription".
The SMF provides this CLI option to associate the UPF to servicing different PDN session types, such as IPv4, IPv6, and IPv4v6. An UPF serves more than one PDN session type.
-
slice-group-list [ slice1 slice2 sliceN ] : Specify the configured Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (NSSAI) list. The slice value must be the same as the allowedNssai under smf-profiles. The slice group contains both the NSSAI and DNN information. When fetching the NSSAI UPF list, consider the DNN list that is configured under the slice group. The existing dnn-list under the network-element is not moved to the upf-profile group.
-
dcnr { true | false } : Configure the Dual Connectivity with New Radio (DCNR) capability. The default configuration is false.
NoteThe DCNR capability is applicable only for 4G calls.
-
location-area-group-list [ la1 la2 laN ] : Configure the list of location area groups with different names.
