format { MM/DD/YY-HH:MM:SS | MM/DD/YYYY-HH:MM:SS | YYYY/MM/DD-HH:MM:SS | YYYYMMDDHHMMSS | seconds }

Specifies the timestamp format.

localtime

Specifies the local time. By default, timestamps are displayed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

{ bytes | pkts } { downlink | uplink }

Specifies bytes/packets sent/received from/by mobile.

priority priority

Specifies the position priority of the field within the UDR. Lower numbered priorities (across all attribute, event-label, and rule-variable) occur first.

priority must be an integer from 1 through 65535. Up to 50 position priorities (across all attribute, event-label, and rule-variable) can be configured.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to set the attributes and priority for UDR file format.

A particular field in UDR format can be entered multiple times at different priorities. While removing the UDR field using the no attribute command, you can either remove all occurrences of a particular field by specifying the field name or remove a single occurrence by additionally specifying the optional priority keyword.

Consider the following scenario. If the volume/time threshold interval is large enough (or disabled). At time t=0, 10 ICMP packets are sent, which takes 9 seconds. There is nothing for the next 100 seconds, and then again 10 ICMP packets are sent which takes 10 seconds, and then again nothing for next the 60 seconds and then the session is terminated.

In this scenario:

  • sn-start-time should be t = 0.
  • sn-end-time should be t = 0+9+100+10 (sn-end-time would be the last ICMP packet sent).
  • sn-duration should be sn-end-time minus sn-start-time, i.e. 0+9+100+10 – 0 = 119 seconds (since the ICMP flow would exist between the two intervals of sending ICMP packets, the sn-start-time would be that of the first packet of the flow and sn-end-time of the last packet (20th packet). Hence, sn-duration would take into account all the seconds between the first and last packet of the flow).

Example

The following is an example of this command: 
attribute radius-user-name priority 12

Syntax

do show

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to run all Exec mode show commands while in Configuration mode. It is not necessary to exit the Config mode to run a show command.

The pipe character | is only available if the command is valid in the Exec mode.


Caution

There are some Exec mode show commands which are too resource intensive to run from Config mode. These include: do show support collection , do show support details , do show support record and do show support summary . If there is a restriction on a specific show command, the following error message is displayed: 

Failure: Cannot execute 'do	show support' command from Config mode.

For more information on protocol-based rules see the ACS Ruledef Configuration Mode Commands chapter.

priority priority

Specifies the CSV position of the field (protocol rule) in the UDR.

priority must be an integer from 1 through 65535.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to specify what field appears in which order in the UDR.

A particular field in UDR format can be entered multiple times at different priorities. While removing the UDR field using the no rule-variable command, you can either remove all occurrences of a particular field by specifying the field name, or remove a single occurrence by additionally specifying the optional priority keyword.

Example

The following is an example of this command: 
rule-variable bearer 3gpp2 bsid priority 36
