GTP Inspection

hostname(config-network)#

b.

Use the network-object command with the host keyword to identify the SGSN.

hostname(config-network)# network-object host IP-address

For example, the following command creates a network objects representing the SGSN:

hostname(config-network)# network-object host 192.168.50.100

hostname(config-network)#

g.

To allow GTP responses from any GSN in the network object representing the GSN pool, defined in

c.

,

d

, to the network object representing the SGSN, defined in

c.

,

f.

, enter the following commands:

hostname(config)# gtp-map map_name

hostname(config-gtp-map)# permit response to-object-group SGSN-name from-object-group

GSN-pool-name

For example, the following command permits GTP responses from any host in the object group
named gsnpool32 to the host in the object group named sgsn32:

hostname(config-gtp-map)# permit response to-object-group sgsn32 from-object-group

gsnpool32

The following example shows how to support GSN pooling by defining network objects for the GSN
pool and the SGSN. An entire Class C network is defined as the GSN pool but you can identify
multiple individual IP addresses, one per network-object command, instead of identifying whole
networks. The example then modifies a GTP map to permit responses from the GSN pool to the
SGSN.

hostname(config)# object-group network gsnpool32

hostname(config-network)# network-object 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0

hostname(config)# object-group network sgsn32

hostname(config-network)# network-object host 192.168.50.100

hostname(config)# gtp-map gtp-policy

hostname(config-gtp-map)# permit response to-object-group sgsn32 from-object-group

gsnpool32

h.

To specify the maximum number of GTP requests that will be queued waiting for a response, enter
the following command:

hostname(config-gtp-map)# request-queue max_requests

where the max_requests argument sets the maximum number of GTP requests that will be queued
waiting for a response, from 1 to 4294967295. The default is 200.

When the limit has been reached and a new request arrives, the request that has been in the queue
for the longest time is removed. The Error Indication, the Version Not Supported and the SGSN
Context Acknowledge messages are not considered as requests and do not enter the request queue
to wait for a response.

i.

To change the inactivity timers for a GTP session, enter the following command:

hostname(config-gtp-map)# timeout {gsn | pdp-context | request | signaling | tunnel}

hh:mm:ss

Enter this command separately for each timeout.

The gsn keyword specifies the period of inactivity after which a GSN will be removed.

The pdp-context keyword specifies the maximum period of time allowed before beginning to
receive the PDP context.
