Feature Description
IPAM is the core component of the subscriber management system. Traditional IPAM functionalities prove insufficient in the Cloud Native network deployments. Hence, IPAM requires more functionalities to work with the Cloud Native subscriber management system.
The Static IP Support feature enables the support of static IP on the SMF using IPAM. This feature supports the following functionalities:
-
Static pool configuration
-
Splits static address-ranges into smaller chunks and associates them with the configured UPFs
-
Enables program routes according to static address-range reservation during UPF association
-
Enables secondary authentication under the DNN profile
-
Selects UPF based on reserved address-range and Framed-IP received from the Authentication response
