An
MPE device can grant time, data, or other service-specific units to subscribers. It can also limit grants based on quotas, either against plans or against limited exemptions such as passes, top-ups, and rollovers. The following is a simple wireless Gx example in which a monthly data usage quota is defined, and a policy is written for the
MPE device to grant quota upon creation of a new session. The following values are defined and used:
- Plan name: MonthlyDataBasic
- Quota: 5 Gb (5,368,709,120 bytes) monthly
- Quota exhaustion action: Terminate
The policy rule is as follows:
where the request is creating a new session
grant total volume to 100 percent used for MonthlyDataBasic
accept message
This procedure consists of tasks described elsewhere. The steps must be performed in the order shown.
- From the Policy Server section of the navigation pane, select Quota Profiles, select the Plans folder, and create the plan.
The plan is defined in the CMP database.
- From the Policy Management section of the navigation pane, select Policy Library, and define the policy.
The policy is defined in the CMP database.
- From the Policy Management section of the navigation pane, select Policy Library, select the policy, and deploy it.
For more information, see the appropriate CMP User's Guide.
The policy is deployed to MPE devices in the Policy Management network.
