Configuring Policy and Charging Control Action Profiles for Subscriber Management
A PCC action profile defines the treatment to be applied to a subscriber’s packets associated with specific applications or with specific service data flows. A PCC action profile is specified in the then clause of a PCC rule.
You cannot change a PCC action profile while it is being used by a subscriber. To modify the PCC action profile, you must log off the subscribers that are using the PCC rule that includes the profile.
To configure PCC action profiles:
- Specify a name for the PCC action profile.[edit services pcef]user@host# edit pcc-action-profiles profile-name
- Configure the maximum bit rate for uplink and downlink
subscriber traffic.[edit services pcef pcc-action-profiles profile-name]user@host# set maximum-bit-rate uplink mbr-uplink-value downlink mbr-downlink-value
The range is 0 through 6144000 Kbps.
- Configure HTTP redirection to a URL.[edit services pcef pcc-action-profiles profile-name redirect]user@host# set url url-name
Note A PCC action profile that includes HTTP redirection can only be used in PCC rules that match only HTTP-based applications and all flows.
- Configure
the steering of traffic to a third-party server for applying services
or to a service chain with one of the following methods:
Specify the IP address of the third-party server for HTTP traffic.
[edit services pcef pcc-action-profiles profile-name ]user@host# set steering path (ipv4-address ipv4-address | set ipv6-address ipv6-address)Note A PCC action profile that includes a steering path can only be used in PCC rules that match only HTTP-based applications and all flows.
Specify the routing instance to use to reach the third-party server or service chain.
[edit services pcef pcc-action-profiles profile-name]user@host# set steering routing-instance downlink downlink-vrf-name uplink uplink-vrf-nameThe downlink routing instance is applied to traffic going to the access side, and the uplink routing instance is applied to traffic being sent from the access side.
- Specify
that the PCC action profile steering attributes that a PCC rule applies
at the start of a data flow will continue to be applied to that data
flow when the PCC rule match conditions are modified, deleted, or
added to.[edit services pcef pcc-action-profiles profile-name steering]user@host# set keep-existing-steering
- Specify the forwarding class to assign to packets.[edit services pcef pcc-action-profiles profile-name]user@host# set forwarding-class class-name
- Configure the gating status by enabling or disabling the
forwarding of packets.[edit services pcef pcc-action-profiles profile-name]user@host# set gate-status (disable-both | downlink | uplink | uplink-downlink)
