Use the following commands to specify a Sx service name to allow configuration of the Sx service under Context Configuration Mode.

configure 
   context context_name 
      [ no ] sx-service service_name 
      end 

NOTES:

• no : Disables the command.

• By default, this command is disabled.

Selectively Compress or Decompress Optimization Based on Sx Message Length

By default, certain Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) messages are compressed. To extract certain CPU benefits, a new CLI command is introduced that compresses the messages only when the total encoded packet length exceeds the configured packet length. Although the compression is enabled by default, the compression begins only on the packets that are either above or equal to the configured length. Maximum restriction on the size of the Sx message is 5120. Packets exceeding this upper limit must be compressed. The packet length is not applicable to the sx-update-ip-pool keyword, which compresses the IP pool TLVs in PFCP messages. As the packet-length keyword is optional, the default value is configured when the packet length is not specified.

Use the following command to selectively compress or decompress optimization that is based on Sx message length.

configure 
   context context_name 
      sx-service service_name 
         [ no ] sx-protocol compression [ packet-length length ] sx-update-ip-pool  
         end 

NOTES:

• no : Disables command.

• sx-update-ip-pool : Configures SX update message to the userplane with compression.

• packet-length: Configures compression above or equal to the packet length of 5120.

Use the following commands to bind the specified Sx service to an IP address under Sx Service Configuration Mode.

configure 
   context context_name 
      sx-service service_name 
         [ no ] bind { ipv4-address ipv4_address | ipv6-address ipv6_address } 
         end 

NOTES:

• no : Disables the command.

• ipv4-address : Designates an IPv4 address of the Sx service. Enter a valid IPv4 address.

• ipv6-address : Designates an IPv6 address of the Sx service. Enter a valid IPv6 address.

• By default, this command is disabled.

Use the following commands to modify the Sxa parameters for the S-GW under Sx Service Configuration Mode.

configure 
   context context_name 
      sx-service service_name 
         sxa { max-retransmissions number | retransmissions-timeout-ms number } 
         end 

NOTES:

• max-retransmissions : Configures the maximum retries for Sx control packets on the S-GW. Enter an integer. The valid values range from 0 to 15. The default value is 4.

• retransmissions-timeout-ms : Configures the retransmission timeout for Sx control packets (on the S-GW), in milliseconds. Enter a value in multiples of 100. The valid values range from 1000 to 20000. The default value is 5000.

• By default, this command is disabled.

Use the following commands to modify the Sxab parameters for the S-GW and P-GW under Sx Service Configuration Mode.

configure 
   context context_name 
      sx-service service_name 
         sxab { max-retransmissions number | retransmissions-timeout-ms number } 
         end 

NOTES:

• max-retransmissions : Configures the maximum retries for Sx control packets on the S-GW and P-GW. Enter an integer. The valid values range from 0 to 15. The default value is 4.

• retransmissions-timeout-ms : Configures the retransmission timeout for Sx control packets (on the S-GW and P-GW), in milliseconds. Enter a value in multiples of 100. The valid values range from 1000 to 20000. The default value is 5000.

• By default, this command is disabled.

Use the following commands to modify the Sxb parameters for the P-GW under Sx Service Configuration Mode.

configure 
   context context_name 
      sx-service service_name 
         sxb { max-retransmissions number | retransmissions-timeout-ms number } 
         end 

NOTES:

• max-retransmissions : Configures the maximum retries for Sx control packets on the P-GW. Enter an integer. The valid values range from 0 to 15. The default value is 4.

• retransmissions-timeout-ms : Configures the retransmission timeout for Sx control packets (on the P-GW), in milliseconds. Enter a value in multiples of 100. The valid values range from 1000 to 20000. The default value is 5000.

• By default, this command is disabled.

Use the following commands to associate an SAEGW service to an existing Sx service within this context.

configure 
   context context_name 
      saegw-service service_name  
         [ no ] associate sx-service service_name 
         end 

NOTES:

• no : Removes the selected association from this service.

• sx-service : Configures Sx service for the SAEGW service.

• By default, this command is disabled.

Use the following commands to associate User-Plane service to an existing Sx service within this context.

configure 
   context context_name 
      user-plane-service service_name  
         [ no ] associate sx-service sx-service-name  
         end 

NOTES:

• no : Removes the selected association from this service.

• sx-service : Configures Sx service for the User-Plane service.

• By default, this command is disabled.

• The no associate sx-service CLI command is recommended to be executed only during the maintenance window when there are no or minimal active sessions.
