Virtual APN Selection Based On PDP-Type
CSCuo61924 - Virtual APN based on PDP type.
Applicable Products: GGSN, P-GW, and SAEGW
Feature Changes
The current implementation of selection of virtual APN is based on various criteria and a call received on a
selected APN can be forwarded to another APN based on the configured criteria. This feature enables the
operator to select the Virtual APN on the basis of PDP-type and PDP-type for roamers. For this, PDP-type
rules for PDP-types IPv4, IPv6, and IPv4v6 have been added to the existing Virtual APN rules. Also, roaming
mode-roaming has been implemented as a secondary option to PDP type enable the operator to select the
Virtual APN on the basis on PDP-type for roamers.

Previous Behavior: Earlier, Virtual APN was selected on the basis on various factors such as IMSI and
MSISDN. PDP-type and PDP-type for roamers were not the basis for selection.

New Behavior: Now, an existing CLI virtual-apn preference has been modified to enable the Virtual APN

Command Changes
virtual-apn preference
New keyword pdp-type has been added to the command virtual-apn preference to support Virtual APN
