Essentially, an APN profile is a template that consists of a set of APN-specific commands that may be applicable to one or more APNs. When a subscriber requests an APN that has been identified in a selected operator policy, the set of commands in the associated APN profile will be applied. The same APN profile can be associated with multiple APNs and multiple operator policies. The SGSN and the MME each support a total of 1,000 APN profile configurations per SGSN/MME; up to 50 APN profiles can be associated with a single operator policy. For additional SGSN limit information, refer to Engineering Rules in the SGSN Administration Guide.
Command Modes The APN Profile configuration mode defines a set of parameters controlling the SGSN or MME behavior when a specific APN is received or no APN is received in a Request. An APN profile is a key element in the Operator Policy feature and an APN profile is not used or valid unless it is associated with an APN and this association is specified in an operator policy (see the Operator Policy Configuration Mode Commands ). Exec > Global Configuration > APN Profile Configuration configure > apn-profile profile_name Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: [local] host_name (apn-profile- profile_name )#

accounting mode
This command allows you to define the mode of accounting to be performed for this SaMOG APN profile.
Product SaMOG
Privilege Security Administrator, Administrator
Command Modes Exec > Global Configuration > APN Profile Configuration
configure > apn-profile profile_name Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: [local] host_name (apn-profile- profile_name )#
Syntax Description accounting mode { gtpp | none } { default | remove } accounting mode
default Resets the accounting mode to GTPP.
remove Removes the accounting mode from this profile's configuration.
gtpp Specifies that GTPP accounting is performed. This is the default method.
none Specifies that no accounting will be performed for the APN profile.
Usage Guidelines Use this command to specify the accounting mode for an SaMOG APN profile to generate bearer-based SaMOG CDRs. Even if an accounting mode is also specified in a call control profile, the priority is given to the accounting mode of the APN profile.
Example The following command specifies that no accounting will be used for the APN profile: accounting mode none
active-charging rulebase
Configure the name of the rulebase that contains the charging action for the HTTP redirection and the URL for the portal for SaMOG web authorization, and/or the rulebase that contains the NAT policy for the SaMOG Local Breakout feature.

Syntax Description active-charging rulebase^ rulebase_name no active-charging rulebase
no If previously configured, removes the ACS rulebase to be used.
rulebaserulebase_name Specifies the active charging rulebase to be used. rulebase_name must be the name of an ACS rulebase, and must be an alphanumeric string of 1 through 63 characters, and can contain punctuation characters.
Usage Guidelines Use this command to configure the name of the rulebase that contains the charging action for the HTTP redirection and the URL for the authentication portal to facilitate HTTP redirection to the authorization portal during the pre-authentication phase, and/or the rulebase that contains the NAT policy for the SaMOG Local Breakout feature. The ACS rulebase specified in this configuration will be used only if the AAA server does not specify the ACS rulebase during the pre-authentication phase.
This command is license dependent. Contact your Cisco account representative for more information on SaMOG feature license requirements.

Syntax Description apn-resolve-dns-query snaptr [ epc-ue | non-epc-ue ] remove apn-resolve-dns-query snaptr
remove Removes the DNS SNAPTR function from the configuration.
epd-ue Configures the S-NAPTR queries to be applicable for EPC-capable UE.
non-epc-ue Configures the S-NAPTR queries to be applicable for non-EPC-capable UE.
Usage Guidelines SNAPTR filters based on the EPC-capability of the user equipment (UE). Use this command to enable SNAPTR type DNS query for APN resolution for 3G subscribers with EPC subscription. Configuration in this mode promotes control of this feature per APN. If neither of the keywords is included with the configuration, then S-NAPTR query is applicable to all UE, both EPC-capable UE and non-EPC capable UE. By default, this functionality is not enabled.
Example Enable the SGSN to select a PGW during APN resolution: apn-resolve-dns-query snaptr

configure > apn-profile profile_name Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: [local] host_name (apn-profile- profile_name )#
Syntax Description apn-restoration priority^ priority_value remove apn-restoration priority
remove Removes the APN restoration priority value from the configuration.
prioritypriority_value Configures the APN restoration priority value. The reactivation of PDNs after a P-GW restart notification is processed in the order of this priority. priority_value The priority value is an integer value from 1 through 16. Where "1" is the highest priority and "16" is the lowest priority. Default: 16 (lowest priority).
Usage Guidelines The PGW Restart Notification (PRN) message is sent by the S-GW when it detects a peer P-GW has restarted. After the affected subscribers have been deactivated, the MME/S4-SGSN will prioritize the re-activation of impacted PDN connections based on subscribed APN restoration priority, if received from the HSS. If an APN restoration priority is not received from the HSS, then this locally configured value is used. If there is no local configuration then by default such PDNs will be assigned the lowest restoration priority. The MME will only restore PDNs for which the APN restoration priority is configured and/or received from HSS. Otherwise PDNs will be released by regular deactivation. For the MME, refer to the LTE Policy > LTE Emergency Profile > apn command to define a different APN restoration priority for emergency sessions for this APN profile.
Example The following command is used to configure the APN restoration priority value of "10" for an APN profile: apn-restoration priority 10

• LCS-NI-CDR.
- Select the applicable idle context purge timer, such as use global value or use special value. This feature could be used to distinguish between customers and/or APNs whose PDP contexts should be purged after short (for example 30 minutes) or long (for example 12 hours) periods of inactivity.
- Use specific charging gateway address (override all other configured/selected CG addresses).
- Deactivate SMS-MO-CDRs for customers of the own PLMN using pre-configured SMSC addresses.
- Disable G-CDRs or eG-CDRs for roamers that use the home PLMN GGSN.
- Allow or inhibit the use of own GGSNs by visitors.
- Allow or inhibit network triggered QoS change (upgrade and/or downgrade).
