Deleting the UPF
This section describes the sequence of operations for deleting an existing UPF.
-
To delete an existing UPF, it is first marked "offline".
Run the appropriate CLI commands to manually clear the sessions.
-
The NodeMgr notifies IPAM about the UPF removal.
-
IPAM moves the static address ranges from all DNNs of the removed UPF to other available UPFs.
-
The Nodemgr initiates ReleaseUpf to IPAM. IPAM releases dynamic address ranges to the free list.
-
The Nodemgr sends an N4 Association Release message to UPF and to clean up UPF from the cache.
Note | If the UPF is not marked offline and a manual clean-up is not performed before its removal, the system behavior might be erratic. |
