This feature is developed to comply with the following standards:

The restrict access-type command under the APN profile configuration mode is used to configure PDP activation restriction on the basis of access type, a new command option for EPS networks is introduced for this feature. In earlier releases this command was supported only for GPRS and UMTS networks to perform QoS related restrictions. Now this command is also used to configure the APN not supported in particular RAT and PLMN combination. If this command is enabled, new PDP activations to an APN with which this APN profile is associated are rejected. During handovers PDPs/PDNs are deactivated if the APN name matches with this APN profile.

configure 
   apn-profile profile_name 
      [ no ] restrict access-type { eps |  { { gprs | umts } [ qos-class { background | conversational | interactive | streaming } ] } }  
      default restrict access-type {  eps | gprs | umts } 
      end 

Notes:

The following command is used remap the cause code 66 to an operator desired cause code. This cause code is sent in activate rejection.

config 
   call-control-profile profile_name 
      [remove] local-cause-code-mapping apn-not-supported-in-plmn-rat sm-cause-code cause_number 
      exit 

Notes:

The following command is used remap the ESM cause code sent in activate rejections (due to APN not supported) to an operator desired ESM cause code.

config 
   call-control-profile profile_name 
      [remove] local-cause-code-mapping apn-not-supported-in-plmn-rat esm-cause-code cause_number esm-proc 
      exit 

Notes:

The following command under the Call Control Profile configuration mode is used remap the EMM and ESM cause codes sent in activate rejections (due to APN not supported) to an operator desired ESM and EMM cause codes.

config 
   call-control-profile profile_name 
      [remove] local-cause-code-mapping apn-not-supported-in-plmn-rat emm-cause-code cause_number esm-cause-code cause_number [ attach [ tau ] | tau [attach ] ]  
      exit 

Notes:

The following command under the MME Service Configuration mode is used remap the ESM cause code sent in activate rejections (due to APN not supported) to an operator desired ESM cause code.

config 
  context <context_name> 
    mme-service <service_name> 
      local-cause-code-mapping apn-not-supported-in-plmn-rat esm-cause-code  <cause_number> esm-proc 
      default local-cause-code-mapping apn-not-supported-in-plmn-rat esm-cause-code esm-proc 
      exit     

Notes:

The following command under the MME Service configuration mode is used remap the EMM and ESM cause codes sent in activate rejections (due to APN not supported) to an operator desired ESM and EMM cause codes.

config 
   context context_name 
      mme-service service_name 
         local-cause-code-mapping apn-not-supported-in-plmn-rat emm-cause-code cause_number esm-cause-code cause_number  [ attach [ tau ] | tau [ attach ] ] 
         default local-cause-code-mapping apn-not-supported-in-plmn-rat [ attach | tau ]  
         exit
