Gx-Plus for service provisioning

Gx-Plus now supports service (policy rule) provisioning, service activation, threshold notifications, threshold updates, service termination, and recovery. Previously, Gx-Plus supported only notification, termination, and recovery. To request subscriber service provisioning from the Policy Control and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), include the provisioning-order gx-plus statement in the subscriber access profile. By default, Gx-Plus provisioning requests are made only for IPv4 subscribers. To enable requests to be made also for IPv6 subscribers, include the include-ipv6 statement at the [edit access gx-plus global] hierarchy level. The PCRF can request usage monitoring for the provisioned services for one or more of the following: number of bytes transmitted (CC-Output-Octets), number of bytes received (CC-Input-Octets), number of bytes transmitted and received (CC-Total-Octets), and elapsed time (CC-Time). If the specified threshold is reached, the router sends a usage report back to the PCRF. The PCRF can then return new threshold triggers and request that services be activated or deactivated. When a subscriber has been provisioned with Gx-Plus, only the PCRF can activate or deactivate services for that subscriber. Accordingly, AAA rejects any RADIUS CoA or CLI service activation or deactivation requests for these subscribers. You can override PCRF control on an individual session, which is useful for session and service trouble shooting. To do so, issue the new request network-access aaa subscriber set session-id command. You can then activate and deactivate services with the existing request network-access aaa subscriber add session-id and request network-access aaa subscriber delete session-id commands, respectively.
