HNB-GW Global Configuration Mode Commands


Important

In Release 20 and later, HNBGW is not supported. Commands in this configuration mode must not be used in Release 20 and later. For more information, contact your Cisco account representative.

The 3G UMTS Home-NodeB Gateway Global Configuration Mode provides the global configurations for multiple HNB-GW services on a chassis to manage the access to the UMTS core network in a 3G UMTS network through a Femto node. This configuration mode is supported from StarOS 14.0 onward.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > HNB-GW Global Configuration

configure > hnbgw-global

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(config-hnggw-global)#

Syntax

access-control-db imsi-purge-timeout { immediate | dur } 
default access-control-db imsi-purge-timeout

default

Sets the default value to HNB-UE access control database on a chassis for HNB-GW Global configuration instance.

The default timeout duration for purging of the IMSI White List from the HNB-GW Access Control database is 24 hours. The HNB-GW service waits for 24 hours after all referenced HNBs have de-registered before purging the records.

immediate

Sets the HNB-GW Global configuration instance to purge the HNB-UE access control database immediately after all referenced HNBs have de-registered.

imsi-purge-timeout dur

Sets the timeout duration (in minutes) for the access control database to wait before purging the IMSI values received as a White List from HMS/BAC.

After all HNBs have de-registered, the Access Control database on HNB-GW maintains the IMSI White List received from HMS/BAC during HNB registration procedure for the configured durations before purging the list.

dur is an integer from 1 through 1440.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure the HNB-UE access control database parameters on a chassis for HNB-GW Global configuration instance.

This command sets the timeout duration to maintain the IMSI White List received from HMS/BAC during HNB registration procedure in HNB-GW Global configuration instance for the configured dur in minutes after de-registration of all referenced HNBs from HNB-GW node and then purge the database.

Example

Following command sets the HNB-GW Global configuration instance to purge all IMSI records from HNB-UE access control database immediately after all referenced HNBs de-registered from HNB-GW service instance.
access-control-db imsi-purge-timeout immediate

Syntax

sctp { alpha-rto alpha_rto_dur | beta-rto  beta_rto_dur | max-in-strms in_strms | max-out-strms  out_strms | max-retx { assoc | init | path } max_retry  } 
default sctp { alpha-rto | beta-rto |  max-in-strms | max-out-strms | max-retx { assoc | init | path } }

default

Restores the SCTP parameters to default value in HNB-GW Global configuration instance. Default values for all parameters are as follows:
  • alpha-rto : 5 seconds
  • beta-rto : 10 seconds
  • max-in-strms : 4
  • max-out-strms : 4
  • max-retx assoc : 10 retries
  • max-retx init : 5 retries
  • max-retx path : 5 retries

alpha-rto alpha_rto_dur

Sets the alpha retransmission timeout duration (in seconds) for SCTP association between HNB and HNB-GW as an integer from 0 through 65535. A "zero" value disables the timer in this configuration. Default: 5

beta-rto beta_rto_dur

Sets the beta retransmission timeout duration (in seconds) for SCTP association between HNB and HNB-GW an integer from 0 through 65535. A "zero" value disables the timer in this configuration. Default: 10

max-retx { assoc | init | path } max_retry

Sets the maximum number of retries allowed in SCTP states for SCTP association between HNB and HNB-GW.

assoc : Sets the maximum number of consecutive retransmissions to its peer is allowed. If the value of this counter exceeds the limit configured with this keyword the HNB-GW considers the peer HNB unreachable and stop transmitting any more data to it. The SCTP association is automatically closed when the peer endpoint becomes unreachable. Default number of attempts max_retry for this state is 10.

init : Sets the maximum attempts allowed after T1-init timer expires. If the T1-init timer expires then the HNB-GW retransmits INIT chunk and re-start the T1-init timer without changing state. This is repeated up to the configured times with this configuration. After that, the HNB-GW aborts the initialization process. Default number of attempts max_retry for this state is 5.

path : Sets the maximum attempts allowed after T3-rtx timer expires. Each time the T3-rtx timer expires on any address, or when a HEARTBEAT sent to an idle address is not acknowledged within a RTO, the error counter of that destination address incremented. When the value in the error counter exceeds this protocol parameter of that HNB address, the HNB-GW marks the destination transport address as inactive. Default number of attempts max_retry for this state is 5.

max_retry is an integer from 0 through 255.

max-in-strms in_strms

Sets the maximum number of inward SCTP streams allowed on HNB-GW for an associated HNB in an SCTP association as an integer from 1 through 16. Default: 4

max-out-strms out_strms

Sets the maximum number of outgoing SCTP streams allowed from HNB-GW for an associated HNB in an SCTP association as an integer from 1 through 16. Default: 4

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure the SCTP protocol messaging and session management parameters in SCTP association between HNB and HNB-GW.

Example

The following command sets the maximum number of inward SCTP streams allowed to 4 on HNB-GW for the SCTP association:
default max-in-strms

tnnsf-timer

Configures the NAS Node Selection Function (NNSF) timer (T-NNSF) which is used by the HNB-GW to store the IMSI and the relevant Global-CN-ID in the short term after Paging. This timer is used for Iu-Flex feature support.

Syntax

tnnsf-timer dur 
[ no | default ] tnnsf-timer

no

Disables/removes the configured timer value of NNSF timer (T-NNSF) for HNB-GW Global configuration instance.

default

Sets the timer value of NNSF timer (T-NNSF) for HNB-GW Global configuration instance to default value of 30 seconds.

tnnsf-timer dur

Configures the NNSF timer (in seconds) which is used by the HNB-GW to store the IMSI and the relevant Global-CN-ID as an integer from 10 through 60. Default: 30

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure the NNSF timer value in seconds for Iu-Flex support.

Whenever the MSC sends the paging request with IMSI, the HNB-GW stores the Global_CN_ID of the node which issued the paging request message for the given IMSI and HNB-GW starts the tnnsf-timer. HNBGW stores the mapping of IMSI to Global_CN_ID until the tnnsf-timer expires

Example

The following command sets the NNSF timer value to 30 seconds on a chassis for HNB-GW Global configuration instance:
default tnssf-timer
