You can set up the BIG-IP® system to schedule an interval
that sets policy reevaluation and RADIUS re-transmission updates periodically.
-
On the Main tab, click .
The Options screen opens.
-
In the Policy Options area, specify (in seconds) the Policy Re-evaluation
Interval at which the policy re-evaluation is triggered, to evaluate the
flow policy again.
The re-valuation interval is only for active flows.
For example, a subscriber is provisioned over Gx which has a policy to allow
Netflix with some bandwidth. The subscriber is able to watch a movie using the Netflix
service. However, consider that the PCRF installs a policy for this subscriber to block
Netflix over the Gx interface. Then, while the subscriber is viewing the content, the
Netflix content is blocked for the subscriber after the configured re-evaluation
interval.
-
In the RADIUS Options area, for the Re-Transmit Timeout setting,
select Enabled and specify the time in seconds. If you select
Disabled, each RADIUS message is handled as a new message and
this might lead to deletion and creation of sessions even though the radius massage is a
duplicate.
This is the timeout after which the RADIUS message is considered as a new
message, by the BIG-IP system.
-
In the RADIUS Options area, for the Clear Sessions upon NAS
Reboot setting, select Enabled to remove all the PEM
sessions that are associated with the NAS-IP-Address received in the RADIUS Acct-ON or
Acc-OFF request packet.
-
In the Quota Management Options area, for the Default Rating
Group setting, select Create to create a new rating
group for quota management.
This takes you to the screen. Click to go back to options screen.
-
In the Statistics Options area, for the Analytics Mode setting,
select Enabled to use analytics reporting. Select the external
logging such as HSL endpoint in the External Log Publisher
setting.
This generates Application Visibility and Reporting (AVR) PEM reports, in a
timely manner through graphs.
-
From the
Subscriber
Aware list, select Enabled to display the statistics
per subscriber.
This generates Application Visibility and Reporting (AVR) PEM reports, in a
timely manner through graphs.
-
For the Content Insertion Options setting, in the
Throttling fields, type the time used to set the maximum wait
time before Policy Enforcement Manager™ applies the insert action
again on the same subscriber.
Note: The insert actions do not conflict with each other.
The policy and RADIUS updates take effect immediately.
