Syntax

charging-action charging_action_name [ content-id content_id ] 

content-id content_id

Specify the content ID to use in the generated billing records, as well as the AVP used by the Credit Control Application, such as the "Rating-Group" AVP for use by the Diameter Credit Control Application (DCCA). This identifier assists the carrier's billing post processing and is also used by the credit-control system to use independent quotas for different value of content-id.

Must be an integer in the range of 1-2147483647.

nexthop-forwarding-address{ ipv4_address | ipv6_address }

Specify the nexthop forwarding address for this charging action. When an uplink packet matches a rule and a charging action is applied to it this nexthop forwarding address is used.

qos-class-identifier qos_class_id

Specify the QoS Class Identifier (QCI).

Must be an integer in the range of 1-9.

service-identifier service_id

Specify the service identifier to use in the generated billing records, as well as the AVP used by the Credit Control Application, such as the "Service-Identifier" AVP for use by DCCA. This is a more general classifier than content-id.

Must be an integer in the range of 1-2147483647.

tft-notify-ue

Specify whether or not TFT updates are sent to UE. Use this command to suppress the selected TFT updates from being sent to the UE. This helps to identify if the appropriate TFT defined in the charging action needs to be sent to the UE or not.

charging_action_name

Specify the charging action name.

Must be a string.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to create and configure ACS charging action. A charging action represents actions to be taken when a configured rule is matched. Actions could range from generating an accounting record (for example, an EDR) to dropping the IP packet, etc. The charging action will also determine the metering principle whether to count retransmitted packets and which protocol field to use for billing (L3/L4/L7 etc). Changes to the Charging Action Configuration mode (config-charging-action-<charging_action_name>).

Example

The following command creates a charging action named test123:
charging-action action123
