Inserting PCRF Pools

Use this task to insert (create new) PCRF Pools.

On the Active NOAM, select Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > PCRF Pools.
The Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > PCRF Pools page appears.
Click Insert.
The Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > PCRF Pools [Insert] page opens.
Enter a unique PCRF Pool Name in the PCRF Pool Name field.
Check the Sub-Pool check box if the PCRF Pool is to be used as a Sub-Pool.
A Sub-Pool is used if policy requests from specified origin-hosts should be routed to a different set of the PCRFs from those in the PCRF Pool selected by the APN. Sub-Pool Selection Rules are configured in Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > PCRF Sub-Pool Selection Rules.

The choices are Default = No (Unchecked for Sub-Pool); the range is Yes (Checked for Sub-Pool) and No (Unchecked for Pool).
You can type an optional comment in the Comments field to describe the Pool or Sub-Pool. The entry must be characters in the range of 0 to 64, and the default is N/A.
Click:
- OK to save the new PCRF Pool name and return to the Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > PCRF Pools page.
- Apply to save the new PCRF Pool name and remain on this page.
- Cancel to return to the Policy and Charging > Configuration > Policy DRA > PCRF Pools page without saving any changes.
If OK or Apply is clicked and any of the following conditions exist, an error message appears:
- The entered PCRF Pool name is not unique (already exists).
- Any fields contain a value that contains invalid characters or is out of the allowed range.
- Any required field is empty (not entered).
- Adding the new PCRF Pool would cause the maximum number of PCRF Pools (2500) to be exceeded.
