Configuring ACS Rulebase (ACS Configuration Mode)

This section describes how to create, configure, or delete an ACS rulebase. A rulebase is a collection of protocol rules to match a flow and associated actions to be taken for matching flow. The default rulebase is used when a subscriber/APN is not configured with a specific rulebase to use.

Rulebase configuration is the one that combines all the specified configurations together to construct the static and predefined PCC rules.

NOTES:

  • rulebase rulebase_name : Specifies the name of the ACS rulebase. rulebase_name must be an alphanumeric string of 1 to 63 characters.

  • action priority action_priority { [ dynamic-only ] | static-and-dynamic | timedef timedef_name ] { group-of-ruledefs ruledefs_group_name | ruledef ruledef_name } charging-action charging_action_name [ monitoring-key monitoring_key ] [ description description ] } : Configures the priority order in which ruledefs are matched and the associated charging action.

    • priority must be an integer value in the range of 1-65535.

    • monitoring_key must be an integer value in the range of 100000-4000000000.

    Use the no action priority action_priority command to remove the configured ruledef, group-of-ruledefs, and charging action.

    Important

    Currently, the SMF does not support individual removal of ruledef, group-of-ruledefs, and charging action.
