Defining the UPF Group

This section describes how to configure the UPF group, and define pdn-session-type and other parameters for the UPF group profile.

Use the following configuration to define the UPF group profile.

configure 
   profile upf-group upfgroup_name 
      pdn-session-type [ ipv4 | ipv4v6 | ipv6 ] 
      dcnr { false | true } 


      end 

NOTES:

  • configure : Enters the global configuration mode.

  • 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 ] : Configures 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.

    Note

    If 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.

  • dcnr { true | false } : Configures the Dual Connectivity with New Radio (DCNR) capability. The default configuration is false.

    Note

    The DCNR capability is applicable only for 4G calls.
