Configuring the Heartbeat Parameters for UPF
This section describes how to configure the heartbeat feature for UPF.
To configure the heartbeat feature for UPF at the interface-level, use the following configuration:
config
endpoint pfcp
interface { n4 | sxa }
heartbeat
interval interval
max-retransmissions max_retry_count
retransmission-timeout retry_interval
end
NOTES:
-
endpoint pfcp : Enters the endpoint configuration mode.
-
interface : Configures the N4 or Sxa interface over which the heartbeat messages are exchanged between SMF and UPF.
-
heartbeat : Enters the heartbeat configuration.
-
interval interval : Specify the heartbeat interval in seconds. The accepted range is 60–360. The default value is 60 seconds.
Setting the interval to "0" disables the heartbeat feature.
-
max-retransmissions max_retry_count : Specify the maximum retries for the Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) heartbeat request. The accepted range is 0–10. The default value is 3.
-
retransmission-timeout retry_interval : Specify the heartbeat retransmission timeout in seconds. The accepted range is 1–20. The default value is 5.
