Creating a Match List

To create a match list:

  1. From the Policy Server section of the navigation pane, select Match Lists.

    The content tree displays the Match Lists group.

  2. Select the Match Lists group.

    The Match List Administration page opens in the work area.

  3. Click Create Match List.

    The New Match List page opens.

  4. Enter the following information:
    1. Name — The name assigned to the match list.

      The name can only contain the characters A–Z, a–z, 0–9, period (.), hyphen (-), and underline (_). The maximum length is 40 characters.

    2. Description/Location — Free-form text.
    3. Type — Select from the following:

      • string (default) — The list consists of strings.
      • wildcard string — The list consists of wildcard match patterns that use an asterisk (*) to match zero or more characters or a question mark (?) to match exactly one character.
      • IPV4 address — The list consists of IP addresses in IPv4 format.
      • IPV6 address — The list consists of IP addresses in IPv6 format.
      • MCC-MNC — The list consists of Mobile Country Code-Mobile Network Code pairs.
      • Location Info — The list consists of locations (formatted as string, wildcard string, or numeric range) and time periods selected from the time periods list. Time period is optional and the default value is none. For information about creating and managing time periods, see Managing Policy Time Periods.

    4. Items — Type an entry and click Add; to remove one or more entries from the list, select them and click Delete.

      The following match types are available:
      • APN (access point name)
      • User Equipment Identity
      • USER IMSI
      • USER E.164
      • USER SIP URI
      • USER NAI
      • Serving MCC-MNC
      • Cell Identifier
      • Location Area Code
      • Service Area Code
      • Routing Area Code
      • Routing Area Identifier
      • Tracking Area Code
      • E-UTRAN Cell Identifier

      You can enter a match string combining multiple types (for example, a Location Area Code and a Service Area Code) by separating the types with commas (,); for example, lac1,sac1. If you define multiple-type match lists, the types must be in the order shown.

  5. Click Save.
The match list is defined in the CMP database and can now be used in a policy.
