This command allows you to configure the action priority for a ruledef / group-of-ruledefs in the current rulebase.

no

If previously configured, deletes the specified action priority configuration from the current rulebase.

priority action_priority

Specifies a priority for the specified ruledef / group-of-ruledefs in the current rulebase.

action_priority must be unique in the current rulebase, and must be an integer from 1 through 65535.

The priority controls the order in which this instance of the CLI command will be examined. Lower numbered priorities are examined first.

Up to 2048 instances may be configured, totaled among all rulebases in releases prior to 21.1. In 21.1 and later releases, up to 2500 instances can be configured.

Important

If there are any changes to action priority and the Override Control/Inheritance feature is enabled, then execute the CLI command "update active-charging override-control rulebase-config ". For more information on this command, see the Command Line Interface Reference.

dynamic-only

Enables matching of dynamic rules with static rules for this action priority on a flow.

Configuring the dynamic-only keyword causes the configuration to be defined, but not enabled. If enabled, the action associated with this option will not be matched against a flow until it is enabled from a dynamic charging interface like Gx. Gx can disable or enable this action entry in the rulebase using Gx messages.

Default: Disabled

adc

Specifies the ruledef to-be given as ADC rule. This keyword is optional and only visible when configured with the dynamic-only keyword.

Default: Disabled

mute

Disables application reporting to PCRF. This keyword is optional and visible only after configuring the adc keyword.

Default: Disabled

static-and-dynamic

The static-and-dynamic option causes the configuration to be defined and enabled, and allows a dynamic protocol (such as the Gx interface) to disable or re-enable the configuration.

Default: Enabled

Important

When R7 Gx is enabled, "static-and-dynamic" rules behave exactly like "dynamic-only" rules. That is, they must be activated explicitly by the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF). When Gx is not enabled, "static-and-dynamic" rules behave exactly like static rules.

timedef timedef_name

Important

This keyword is only available in StarOS 8.1 and StarOS 9.0 and later releases.

timedef_name must be the name of a timedef, and must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 63 characters.

A timedef can be used with several ruledefs / group-of-ruledefs. When a packet is received, and a ruledef / group-of-ruledefs is eligible for rule matching, if a timedef is associated with the ruledef / group-of-ruledefs, before rule matching the packet-arrival time is compared with the timeslots configured in the timedef. If the packet arrived in any of the timeslots configured in the associated timedef, rule matching is undertaken, else the next ruledef / group-of-ruledefs is considered.

Important

The time considered for timedef matching is the system's local time.

ruledef ruledef_name

Adds the specified ruledef to the current rulebase.

ruledef_name must be the name of a ruledef, and must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 63 characters.

If the specified ruledef does not exist, there will be no ruledef triggers for this action priority within the current rulebase.

Important

If the ruledef specified here is deleted or is not configured, the system accepts it without applying any ruledef under current rulebase for this action priority.

group-of-ruledefs ruledefs_group_name

Adds the specified group-of-ruledefs to the current rulebase.

ruledefs_group_name must be the name of a group-of-ruledefs, and must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 63 characters.

When a group-of-ruledefs is specified, if any of the ruledefs within the group matches, the specified charging-action is applied, any more of the action instances are not processed.

Important

If the group-of-ruledefs specified here is deleted or is not configured, the system accepts it without applying any ruledefs under current rulebase for this action priority.

charging-action charging_action_name

Specifies the charging action.

charging_action_name must be the name of a charging action, and must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 63 characters.

If the specified charging action does not exist, there will be no charging action triggers for this action priority within the current rulebase.

Important

If the charging action specified here is not configured or is later deleted, the system will not apply any charging action under current rulebase for this action priority.

monitoring-key monitoring_key

Associates the specified monitoring-key with ruledefs for usage monitoring.

monitoring_key must be an integer from 1 through 4000000000.

radius

Generates postpaid RADIUS accounting records at the start and end of a subscriber session, and on the occurrence of an interim trigger condition. RADIUS accounting records are generated for each content ID.

Important

In the GGSN, if in the APN configuration the "accounting-mode" is set to "none", the system continues to send ACS-generated RADIUS accounting messages. In the PDSN, if in the subscriber default configuration the "accounting-mode" is set to "none", the system does not send any RADIUS accounting messages (including ACS accounting messages).

rf

Enables Rf accounting.

Rf accounting is applicable only for dynamic and predefined rules that are marked for it. Dynamic rules have a field offline-enabled to indicate this. To mark a predefined rule as offline-enabled, use this keyword and the billing-action command in the ACS Charging Action Configuration Mode.

udr udr-format udr_format_name

Generates UDRs with specified the format on the occurrence of an interim trigger condition, at the end of a subscriber session, or a handoff.

+ : Indicates that more than one of the previous keywords can be entered within a single command.

This command allows you to configure various time- and threshold-based quotas in the Prepaid Credit Control Service (Credit Control Application).

holding-time holding_time

Specifies the value for the Quota Holding Time (QHT). QHT is used with both time-based and volume-based quotas. After holding_time seconds has passed without user traffic, the quota is reported back and the charging stops until new traffic starts.

holding_time must be an integer from 1 through 4000000000.

content-id content_id

Specifies the content ID (Rating group AVP) to use for the Quota holding time for the current rulebase.

content_id is the content ID specified for credit control service in ACS.

In 12.1 and earlier releases, content_id must be an integer from 1 through 65535.

In 12.2 and later releases, content_id must be an integer from 1 through 2147483647.

retry-time retry_time [ max-retries retries ]

Specifies the retry time for the quota request, in seconds.

retry_time must be an integer from 0 through 86400. To disable this assign 0.

Default: 60

This parameter defines the maximum frequency at which the Credit-Control Application (CCA) tries to obtain quota for a subscriber passing traffic for a category with no/exhausted quota.

For a subscriber not passing traffic, the CCA will not try to obtain quota (except once at session start time, if so configured). The quota request from the no quota state is sent in response to user packets only (never based on a timer).

When subscriber hits a charging action that is a flow redirect, the operator can optionally specify that this redirection shall clear the retry-time timer.

This allows the immediately following chargeable user traffic to trip a quota request, even if it would otherwise have been subject to the retry time limit. Such configuration allows quite a large value for retry-time in quota charging or a top-up scenario.

max-retries retries configures the maximum number of retries allowed for blockedlisted categories. This option has a default value of 65535 retries (the maximum value).

retries must be an integer from 1 through 65535. To disable the max-retries CLI command, use the cca quota retry-time retry_time CLI command.

To disable the cca quota retry-time command, use the no variant of the command, that is to say no cca quota retry-time .

seconds must be an integer from 1 through 4294967295.

Default: 0 (disabled)

A time envelope is the basis for reporting active usage. For each time envelope, the quota consumption includes the last QCT (duration between first packet and last packet + QCT).

plus-idle

Specifies the idle time for QCT.

When used along with consumed-time it indicates the active usage + idle time, when no traffic flow occurs.

continuous-time-periods seconds

Specifies the charging quota continuous period, in seconds.

seconds must be an integer from 1 through 4294967295.

Default: 0 (disabled)

The Continuous Time Periods (CTP) mechanism constructs time-envelopes from consecutive base time intervals in which traffic has occurred up to and including a base time interval which contains no traffic. As with Quota-Consumption-Time envelopes, the end of an envelope can only be determined "retrospectively". Again, as with Quota-Consumption-Time, the envelope for CTP includes the last base time interval (the one which contained no traffic).

parking-meter seconds

Specifies the Parking Meter (PM) period, in seconds, for a particular rating group.

seconds must be an integer from 1 through 4294967295.

Default: 0 (disabled)

This mechanisms utilizes time quota, but instead of consuming linearly—once a decision to consume has been taken—the granted quota is consumed discretely in "chunks" of the base time interval at the start of each base time interval. Traffic is then allowed to flow for the period of the consumed quota.

The time interval seconds defines the length of the Parking Meter. A time-envelope corresponds to exactly one PM (and thus to one base time interval).

content-id content_id

Specifies the content ID (Rating group AVP) to use for the CCA Quota time duration algorithm selection in the current rulebase.

content_id is the content ID specified for credit control service in ACS.

In 12.1 and earlier releases, content_id must be an integer from 1 through 65535.

In 12.2 and later releases, content_id must be an integer from 1 through 2147483647.

source-router

Enables protection against IP Source Route IP Option attacks.

Source routing is an IP option mainly used by network administrators to check connectivity. When an IP packet leaves a system, its path through various networks to its destination is controlled by the routers and their current configuration. Source routing provides a means to override the control of the routers. Strict source routing specifies the path through all the routers to the destination. The same path in reverse is used to return responses. Loose source routing allows the attacker to spoof both an address and sets the loose source routing option to force the response to return to the attacker's network.

teardrop

Enables protection against Teardrop attacks.

In a Teardrop attack, overlapping IP fragments are exploited causing the TCP/IP fragmentation re-assembly to improperly handle overlapping IP fragments.

winnuke

Enables protection against WIN-NUKE attacks.

This is a type of Nuke denial-of-service attack against networks consisting of fragmented or otherwise invalid ICMP packets sent to the target, achieved by using a modified ping utility to repeatedly send this corrupt data, thus slowing down the affected computer until it comes to a complete stop.

The WinNuke exploits the vulnerability in the NetBIOS handler and a string of out-of-band data sent to TCP port 139 of the victim machine causing it to lock up and display a Blue Screen of Death.

default

Configures this command with its default setting.

Default: Disabled

In 20 and later releases: If with-oc-name option is not configured in rulebase, OC will be identified using the Rule/CA and exclude rule as keys. This is the default behavior.

no

If previously enabled, disables Override control in the current rulebase.

align-with-gor

Resolves ambiguity when same ruledefs are defined in multiple Group of Ruledefs.

with-oc-name

This optional keyword specifies to use OC-name as the unique key to identify an OC for a subscriber session.

Default: Disabled

In releases prior to 20, PCRF uses a combination of the following key parameters for identification of OC.

• Rule names

• Charging-action names

• Exclude-rule names

There is no unique OC name or ID to identify the OC for a particular subscriber session. In release 20, a new Diameter AVP "Override-Control-Name" is defined in the Override-Control grouped AVP. This OC name is used as the unique key to identify OC for any further updates like OC modification or deletion.

This keyword "with-oc-name " is added to the override-control CLI command to support Override-Control-Name AVP in the Override-Control AVP. If the override-control with-oc-name CLI is configured in rulebase, only OCs with Override-Control-Name AVP are supported and the OCs without name AVP are rejected.

If Override-Control-Name AVP is received when the override-control CLI command is configured, i.e. OC install is supported without OC name, appropriate error is reported in error logs. Then OC is dropped and OC failure statistics is incremented. Similarly if override-control with-oc-name CLI is configured and OC is received without the name AVP, appropriate error is reported, OC is dropped and OC failure statistics is incremented. On receiving an OC without name, installed OC list (without name) is searched for secondary identification criteria. If no OC with same rule/charging-action/exclude rule list is found, it is installed as a different OC.

Also, for OCs with the name AVP, operator can add rule/charging-action/exclude rule to the existing OC in the same category. That means, the rules can be added to a rule level OC, CA names can be added to a CA level OC, and exclude rules can be added to a wildcard or CA level OC.

OCs received with Override-Control-Name AVP are uniquely identified by the OC name. When the Override-Control-Name AVP is not present in Override-Control AVP, the OCs are identified based on the secondary identification criteria, i.e., the list of rule names, charging-action names, and exclude-rule names as these were the criteria before this feature change.

During rulebase change, the feature to support OC name will be controlled based on the configuration of new rulebase. After rulebase change OC will be accepted as per the CLI configured in new rulebase. This is the only scenario where for a single call session, OC can be installed with both OC name and without OC name.

When software upgrade is done on a standby setup where same rulebase is configured with the CLI override-control with-oc-name , then no calls are dropped and OC installation status will remain the same as before upgrade. Any new call which is established after upgrade and OC is installed with-oc-name then this will be accepted and applied on new call. Any calls which were established pre-upgrade will accept OC without name and will be identified uniquely by rule/charging-action/exclude rule.

During the downgrade, OC-name will be dropped and OCs will be recreated assuming Rule/CA/Exclude rule name list as the primary key for unique identification.

If previously configured, disables the optimization feature for calculating [MBR, GBR] values based on Flow-Status AVP value.

This command allows you to configure the routing of packets to protocol analyzers.

no

If previously configured, deletes the specified route priority configuration from the current rulebase.

route priority route_priority

Specifies the route priority for the specified ruledef in the current rulebase.

route_priority must be an integer from 1 through 65535.

Lower numbered priorities are examined first. Up to 1024 instances can be configured across all rulebases.

ruledef ruledef_name

Specifies the ruledef to evaluate packets to determine analyzer.

ruledef_name specifies the name of the ruledef configured for the route application using the rule-application command in the ACS Ruledef Configuration Mode.

ruledef_name must be the name of a ruledef, and must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 63 characters.

analyzer

Specifies the analyzer for the ruledef, and must be one of the following:

Important

To route packets to the P2P analyzer, the ruledef should have rules to match all IP packets. Otherwise, the analyzer may not detect all P2P traffic.

Important

Use the show active-charging analyzer statistics command in the Exec Mode to see the list of supported analyzers.

description description

Enables to add a description to the rule and action for later reference in saved configuration file.

description must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 63 characters.

This command allows you to enable/disable the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) and Session Description Protocol (SDP) analyzers to detect the start/stop of RTP and RTCP flows.

default

Configures this command with its default setting.

Default: Disabled; same as no rtp dynamic-flow-detection .

no

If previously configured, deletes this configuration from the current rulebase.

This command allows to set the maximum number of uplink and downlink bytes, added together to accumulate, while rule matching and charging is being delayed for RTSP flows. The limit is per RTSP flow.

default

Configures the RTSP initial packets limit to 6000 bytes.

RTSP_bytes

Specifies the maximum number of uplink and downlink bytes limit.

rtsp_bytes must be an integer from 1 through 256000.

This command allows you to configure whether to consider or ignore the port number embedded in the application header (for example, the ":80" in www.star.com:80) when comparing the ruledef expressions to the packet contents.
