Charging Profile Rulebase ID (cgprsCgProfileContentRulebaseId)

 


Charging Profile Number (cgprsCgProfileNum)

Represents the P bits in charging characteristics.


Description (cgprsCgProfileDesc)

Text string that describes this profile.


Category (cgprsCgProfileCategory)

Indicates the current charging profile category. There are four possible values:

hotRate: hot billing

flat: flat rate charging

prepaid: prepaid charging

normal: normal charging


Suppress CDRs (cgprsCgProfileCdrSuppress)

When set to true, no CDRs are generated.


Volume Limit (cgprsCgProfileVolumeLimit)

Volume limit at which a CDR update must take place.


Reset Volume Limit Timer (cgprsCgProfileVolumeLimitReset)

Used to reset the volume limit timer specified in cgprsCgProfileVolumeLimit when another trigger occurs.

When set to true, the volume limit timer is reset when another trigger, such as reaching the duration limit, occurs.

When set to false, the volume timer will continue until it reaches the value set in cgprsCgProfileVolumeLimit.


Time Duration Limit (cgprsCgProfileDurLimit)

Time limit in which a CDR update must take place. The value zero indicates that no limit is set.


Reset Duration Limit (cgprsCgProfileDurLimitReset)

Used to reset the duration limit timer specified in cgprsCgProfileDurLimit when another trigger occurs.

When set to true, the duration limit timer is reset when another trigger, such as reaching the volume limit, occurs.

When set to false, the duration timer will continue until it reaches the value set in cgprsCgProfileDurLimit.


Enable Tariff Time (cgprsCgProfileTariffTime)

When set to true, this object enables the tariff time for this profile.


SGSN change limit (cgprsCgProfileSgsnChange)

Indicates the number of Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) changes that will trigger the closure of a G-CDR or partial record.

Note the following:

When the maximum number of SGSN changes is reached, the record is closed and a new partial record is opened.

When the value of this object is zero, the G-CDR or partial record is closed for every SGSN change.

The value -1 indicates that there is no limit on SGSN changes.

Note: This object is available for  GGSN version 6.0 and later.


CDRs Suppression for Prepaid (cgprsCgProfileCdrSuppressPrepaid)

This object specifies the suppression of CDRs for prepaid. This object can be set to 'true' only when the object cgprsCgProfileCdrSuppress is set to 'false'. When set to:

Note: This object is available for  GGSN version 6.0 and later.


DCCA Client (cgprsCgProfileContentDccaProfile)

This object specifies a Diameter Credit Control Application (DCCA) client to use to communicate with a DCCA server in a GGSN charging profile. The profile name is the DCCA profile name  (cGgsnSADccaProfileName) that  is present in CISCO-GGSN-SERVICE-AWARE-MIB and is  outside the scope of  this MIB.

The presence of the object in this table indicates that online billing is required. Therefore, regardless of whether a subscriber is prepaid or postpaid, the GGSN will contact the DCCA server if this object is set.

If the user is to be treated as a postpaid user, the server  returns X and the user is treated as a postpaid user. If this object is not set to a  valid value, then users using the charging profile will be treated as postpaid (offline  billing).

Note: This object is available for  GGSN version 6.0 and later.


Close/Update PostPaid Time (cgprsCgProfileContentPostTime )

This object specifies a trigger condition for postpaid  users in this charging profile,  the time duration limit that, when exceeded, causes the GGSN to collect upstream and downstream traffic byte counts and close and update  the G-CDR for a particular PDP context.

Note: This object is available for  GGSN version 6.0 and later.


Validity Postpaid Timeout (cgprsCgProfileContentPostValTime)

This object specifies the validity timeout for the postpaid users in this charging profile. By default, the time and volume quota for postpaid has no validity timeout. If it is configured, it applies to both time-based or volume-based quota.

Note: This object is available for  GGSN version 6.0 and later.


Postpaid Volume Count (cgprsCgProfileContentPostVolume)

This object specifies a trigger condition for postpaid users in this charging profile, the maximum number of bytes that the GGSN maintains across all containers for a particular PDP context before closing and updating the G-CDR.

Note: This object is available for  GGSN version 6.0 and later.


Charging Profile Rulebase ID (cgprsCgProfileContentRulebaseId)

This object sets the rulebase ID for this charging profile. Rulebases contain the rules for defining categories of  traffic, categories on which decisions, such as whether to  allow or disallow traffic, and how to measure the traffic, are based. The GGSN maps Diameter Rulebase IDs to CSG billing plans. The rulebase value presented in a RADIUS Access Accept message overrides the default rulebase ID configured in  the charging profile. A rulebase ID received in a CCA  initial message from a DCCA server overrides the Rulebase ID received from the RADIUS server and the default rulebase  ID configured in a charging profile.

Note: This object is available for  GGSN version 6.0 and later.
