Syntax
auth-request num-auth-vectors num
default auth-request num-auth-vectors
num-auth-vectors num
Specifies the number of vectors the MME/SGSN is requesting from the HSS as an integer.
num
prior to Release 16, the valid range is 1 through 3. Default = 1.
num
beginning with Release 16, the valid range is 1 through 5. Default = 1.
Usage
Use this command to configure the number of authentication vectors the MME/SGSN requests in an
Authentication-Information-Request (AIR) message to the HSS for each UE requiring authentication.
Receiving multiple vectors from the HSS for a given UE helps reduce the number of messages across the
diameter connection plus provides the MME/SGSN with additional vectors for the UE in the event that the
connection or the HSS id disabled.
