1 Introduction
1.1 Scope
The document covers the following areas:
• Configuration guidelines
2 Overview
The APN Resolve and Redirect feature includes the following three
functionalities, which are controlled by the same license, but can be used
separately or in combination.
• APN Redirection
3 APN Redirection
If the DNS query on the APN fails, APN Redirection replaces the APN with
the SGSN default APN for GPRS subscribers or the subscribed default APN
for EPS subscribers.
The Activate PDP Context Request message with an invalid APN is also
rejected if one of the following conditions is true:
• If the DNS query on the APN fails, APN Redirection replaces the APN
with the SGSN default APN.
Note: The SGSN default APN must be subscribed. Otherwise, the SGSN
rejects the request.
• If the requested PDP type and PDP address match a single logical
subscribed APN and the requested APN is misspelled, the SGSN
replaces the APN or rejects the request depending on the value of the
SGSNApnRedirectForSingleApn parameter. For more information, see
Table 1.
• If the requested PDP type and PDP address match multiple logical
subscribed APNs, the SGSN replaces the APN with the SGSN default
APN (when the SGSN default APN is subscribed) or one of the
subscribed APNs, or rejects the request depending on the value of the
SGSNApnRedirectForMultipleApn parameter. For more information, see
Table 1.
• If the requested PDP type and PDP address does not match any logical
subscribed APN, the SGSN rejects the request. For more information,
see Table 1.
• If the requested PDP type and PDP address match a single logical
subscribed APN, and the requested APN is missing or incorrectly formatted,
the SGSN replaces the APN or rejects the request depending on the value
of the SGSNRejectEmptyApnForSinglePdpSubscription parameter. For
more information, see Table 1.
• When the requested APN and PDP type are missing, the requested APN is
replaced as follows:
Note: Two subscribed APNs are considered as one logical subscribed APN if
they differ only regarding the configurable 3GDT prefix.
If the IMEI-TAC of the MS is in the APN Redirection criteria, the SGSN rejects
the APN Redirection. Otherwise, if the requested APN is invalid and the
IMEI-TAC of the MS is not in the APN Redirection criteria, the following applies:
• If the DNS query on the APN fails, APN Redirection replaces the APN with
the subscribed default APN.
• If the requested PDP type and PDP address does not match any subscribed
APN, the SGSN rejects the request. For more information, see Table 2.
APN Resolution Functional Extension can be performed based on the APN, the
IMSINS, or the combination of APN and IMSINS.
Note: APN Resolution Functional Extension is applicable only for the PDP
context activation procedure.
• GA
APN Local Breakout Control restricts the local breakout for roaming subscribers
per IMSINS to only specified APNs, when the subscription data allows it. For
the IMSINS in restriction mode, local breakout is disabled for all non-specified
APNs, independent of the subscription data. Allowed APNs, except IMS APN,
can be listed in a configurable APN list.
6 APN-OI Replacement
APN-OI replacement and the Static Gateway Selection function are mutually
exclusive.
7 Configuration Guidelines
For instructions on how to configure APN Resolve and Redirect for GSM and
WCDMA access, see Configuring APN Resolve and Redirect.
