Configuring the Sx/N4 Path Failure Detection Policy

To configure the Sx/N4 Path Failure Detection policy, use the following sample configurations:

Use the following sample configuration to associate the Sx/N4 path failure detection policy:

config 
    instance instance-id gr_instance_id 
        endpoint pfcp 
            sx-path-failure sx-detection-policy detection_policy_name 
            end 

Use the following sample configuration to set parameters for the Sx/N4 path failure detection policy:

config 
    policy sx-path-failure-detection detection_policy_name 
        ignore { heartbeat-retry-failure | heartbeat-recovery-timestamp-change }­­­ 
            end 

NOTES:

  • instance instance-id gr_instance_id —Specify the GR instance ID. The instance ID 1 denotes the local instance ID.

  • endpoint pfcp endpoint_name —Specify the endpoint name and the endpoint configuration mode for the selected interface.

  • sx-path-failure sx-detection-policy detection_policy_name —Specify the name of the policy used, when the Sx path failure occurs as a result of the Heartbeat request timeout, and the default Sx action performs the cleanup activities.

  • policy sx-path-failure-detection detection_policy_name —Specify the name of the policy used, when the Sx path failure occurs as a result of the Heartbeat request timeout detection.

  • ignore { heartbeat-retry-failure | heartbeat-recovery-timestamp-change }­­­ —Detect the path failure mode, when there's an attempt to retry the Heartbeat messages time out, or whenever there’s a change in the recovery timestamp of the heartbeat request or a response message.
