Configuring Gx-Plus Global Attributes
You can configure attributes that apply to all Gx-Plus partitions globally.
When a request from Gx-Plus to the PCRF is not answered or is improperly answered, Gx-Plus keeps retrying the request until it receives an appropriate answer. If the number of requests grows too large, the PCRF can become overloaded and messages can be lost. To reduce this risk, you can set a limit on the number of outstanding requests to the PCRF that Gx-Plus can retry.
By default, Gx-Plus does not include IPv6 subscribers in Gx-Plus provisioning requests to the PCRF. Instead, Gx-Plus only establishes sessions that correspond to IPv4 DHCP sessions on dual-stack IPv6/IPv4 or IPv4-only subscriber interfaces. You must explicitly configure Gx-Plus to include IPv6 information. When you do so, Gx-Plus can establish sessions that correspond to DHCPv6 sessions on IPv6-enabled subscriber interfaces and on dual-stack IPv6/IPv4-enabled interfaces.
To configure Gx-Plus global attributes:
- (Optional) Set a limit on the number of outstanding requests.[edit access gx-plus global]user@host# set max-outstanding-requests number
- (Optional) Include IPv6 subscribers in provisioning requests.[edit access gx-plus global]user@host# set include-ipv6
For example to limit the number of outstanding requests to 30 and to include IPv6 subscribers:
