Operator Policy Configuration Mode

The Operator Policy Configuration Mode is used to create and manage operator policies for MME, S-GW, SAEGW, and SGSN configurations.

  • A maximum of 1,000 operator policies can be defined, including the "default" operator policy.

  • A maximum of 128 APN profiles can be associated with a single operator policy.

  • A maximum of 128 IMEI profiles can be associated with a single operator policy (SGSN-only).

  • Only one APN remap table can be associated with a single operator policy.

  • Only one call control profile can be associated with a single operator policy.

Using the Operator Policy feature allows the operator to fine-tune any desired restrictions or limitations needed to control call handling per subscriber or for a group of callers across IMSI ranges.

Mode

Operator Policy configuration mode associates APNs, APN profiles, IMEI ranges, IMEI profiles, an APN remap table and a call control profile to an operator policy. These profiles and tables are created and defined within their own configuration modes to generate sets of rules and instructions that can be reused and assigned to multiple policies.

Exec > Global Configuration > Operator Policy Configuration

configure > operator-policy policy_name

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(config-opr-policy-policy_name)#

Important

The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).


Important

For information on common commands available in this configuration mode, refer to the Common Commands chapter.

Syntax

apn { default-apn-profile apn_profile_name | network-identifier apn_net_id [ apn-profile apn_profile_name | congestion-control ] | operator-identifier apn_op_id apn-profile apn_profile_name | webauth-apn-profile apn_webauth_name }  
no apn { default-apn-profile | network-identifier apn_net_id [ congestion-control ] | operator-identifier apn_op_id | webauth-apn-profile apn_webauth_name }

no

Disables the specified APN to APN Profile correspondence.

default-apn-profile apn_profile_name

Enables the use of a default APN profile comprised of default values for all parameters. this profile will be used when none of the configured APNs match the APN in the incoming Request.

apn_profile_name must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 64 characters.

apn-profile apn_profile_name

apn_profile_name must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 64 characters.

network-identifier apn_net_id [ congestion-control ]

Links the specified APN network ID with the specified APN profile.

apn_net_id must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 63 characters, including dots (.) and dashes (-).

congestion-control : MME or SGSN only. This optional keyword configures the MME or SGSN to apply congestion control actions for this specific APN. Refer to the drop and reject commands within the [SGSN] Congestion Action Profile Configuration Mode for more information on configuring APN-based congestion control.

operator-identifier apn_op_id

Links the specified APN operator ID with the specified APN profile.

apn_op_id: must be a string of size string of size 1 to 39, in format of [MNCxxx.MCCyyy.GPRS] / [ABCD.DEF.MNCxxx.MCCyyy.ZZZZ] .


Important

With release 21.15 Operator Identifier can be configured in [ABCD.DEF.MNCxxx.MCCyyy.ZZZZ] format in addition to existing [MNCxxx.MCCyyy.GPRS] format.

webauth-apn-profile apn_webauth_name

Specify the APN profile to be used for SaMOG web authorization.

apn_webauth_name must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 64 characters.


Important

The SaMOG Web Authorization feature is license dependent. Contact your Cisco account representative for more information on license requirements.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command, to associate APNs with APN profiles. This command can be repeated to associate multiple APNs with profiles.

Example

Associate the APN profile named apnprof1 to APN network ID starflash.com : 
apn apnprof1 network-identifier starflash.com
Associate congestion control with APN network ID starflash.com : 
apn network-identifier starflash.com congestion-control

associate

Associate an APN remap table and a call control profile with the operator policy.

Syntax

associate { apn-remap-table table_id | call-control-profile profile_id } 
no associate { apn-remap-table | call-control-profile }

no

Removes the association definition from the policy configuration.

apn-remap-table table_id

Identifies the APN remap table to be associated with the operator policy.

table_id must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 65 characters.

call-control-profile profile_id

Identifies a call control profile to be associated with the operator policy.

profile_id must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 64 characters.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to associate an APN remap table and/or a call control profile with this Operator Policy. The APN remap table and the call control profile contain the definitions that instruct the SGSN or MME how to handle calls. Only one of each of these can be associated with an operator policy.

Example

Associate the stardust.net_APNremap1 APN remap table with this operator policy: 
associate apn-remap-table stardust.net_APNremap1

Associates a description with or names an operator policy.

Identify the IMEI profile that defines the actions appropriate to the devices identified within the specified range.

profile_name must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 64 characters.
