Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(4)T

To configured a Service Selection Gateway (SSG) prepaid threshold value, use the ssg prepaid 
threshold command in global configuration mode. To disable the SSG prepaid threshold value, use the 
no form of this command.

ssg prepaid threshold {volume bytes | time seconds}

no ssg prepaid threshold {volume bytes | time seconds}

No SSG prepaid threshold values are configured, and reauthorization happens only after a user has 
completely exhausted the allotted quota.

Global configuration

Use this command to configure an SSG prepaid threshold value. By default, SSG reauthorizes a prepaid 
user’s connection only after the user’s allotted quota has been consumed. When a prepaid threshold value 
is configured, SSG reauthorizes a prepaid user’s connection before the user has completely consumed 
the allotted quota for a service.

For a prepaid threshold time configuration, the threshold time is in seconds and should be configured to 
be at least equal to the connection reauthorization time.

For a prepaid threshold volume configuration, the threshold volume is in bytes and should be at least 
equal to the user’s bandwidth multiplied by the reauthorization time. Calculate the prepaid threshold 
volume value using the following formula:

TH >= BW * T

TH (bytes) = threshold value

BW (Bps) = user’s bandwidth

T (seconds) = reauthorization time

Prepaid threshold volume configuration.

Threshold volume, in bytes. Valid range is from 0 to 65535566 bytes.

Prepaid threshold time configuration.

Threshold time, in seconds. Valid range is from 0 to 6565656 seconds.
