Field Description
Inter PDSN Handoff Indicates whether the Inter-PDSN handoff feature off is enabled. 
Inter-PDSN handoff relates to the handoff between two PCFs with 
connectivity to different PDSNs.
NoteInter-PDSN handoff can be of two types: Fast Handoff and Dormant 
Handoff. Fast Handoff uses a GRE tunnel between two PDSNs to 
transport user data for a single service instance. Dormant Handoff 
occurs when a mobile station with a dormant packet session 
determines that it has crossed a packet zone boundary.
Inter PDSN Handover 
Use CANIDPANIDIndicates whether usage of Current Access Network ID (CANID) or 
Previous Access Network ID (PAN) is supported during an Inter-PDSN 
handover.
Data Available 
IndicatorIndicates whether data transfer is available.
PMA Capability 
IndicatorThe Proxy Mobile Agent capability (PMA) indicator, which determines 
whether PMIP is supported by Prime Network.
NotePDSN sends the capability indicator through RADIUS to the AAA 
server as an access-request packet to i n d i c a t e  t o  t h e  A A A  s e rve r  t h a t  
PDSN supports PMIP. If the capability indicator attribute is missing, 
then PMIP is not supported by PDSN.
Direct LTE Indicator Indicates whether PDSN can send Direct LTE indicator in the Access 
Request. 
Data Over Signalling Indicates whether data transfer over a10 signalling channel instead of bearer 
or subscriber channels from PCF or PDSN is allowed. By default, this 
feature is not allowed.
Dormant Transition Indicates whether dormant transition of the RP link during the initial setup 
of the subscriber session is allowed. If this option is disabled, then the 
subscriber session will be disconnected if the RP link becomes dormant 
during the initial setup.
ROHC IP Header 
CompressionIndicates whether the Robust Header Compression (ROHC) is enabled for 
headers in the IP packets that are being sent by or sent to the PDSN. By 
default, this option is disabled.
Always On Indication Indicates whether the Always On feature is enabled for a subscriber.
NoteWhen the idle-time out limit runs out for a subscriber, the IP/PPP 
session remains connected as long as the subscriber is reachable. By 
default, this feature is disabled.
Setup TimeOut The maximum time (in seconds) allowed for a session to be setup between 
PCF and PDSN. This time can be any value between 1 and 1000000, and 
defaults to 60 seconds.

Configuration Commands for PDSN
The following PDSN commands can be launched from the logical inventory by choosing the Context> 
Commands> Configuration or Context> Commands> Show. Your permissions determine whether 
you can run these commands (see Permissions Required to Perform Tasks Using the Prime Network 
Clients, page B-1). To find out if a device supports these commands, see the Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 
Supported Cisco VNEs.  Retransmission 
TimeOutThe timeout period (in seconds) for retransmission of RP control packets. 
This time can be any value between 1 and 1000000 and defaults to 3 seconds.
Pdsn Type0 Tft Indicates whether Traffic Flow Template (TFT) of the PDSN is changed 
from type 0 TFT to type 1 TFT. 
Tft Validation TimeOut The TFT validation timeout (in seconds) for QoS changes. This time can be 
any value between 1 and 100000, and defaults to 0.
Access Flow Traffic 
ViolationsThe number of violations that are permitted in the access flow traffic.
Access Flow Traffic 
Violations IntervalThe time interval between two subsequent access flow traffic violations.
Cid Mode This mode allows you to configure options that are applied during ROHC 
compression for the service. This sets the RoHC packet size Large or Small.
Max Cid Configures the highest context ID number to be used by the compressor as 
an integer from 0 and 15 when small packet size is selected, and 0 and 31 
when large packet size is selected. Default is 15.
Max Received 
Reconstructed UnitConfigures the size of the largest reconstructed reception unit that the 
decompressor is expected to reassemble from segments. The size includes 
the CRC. If maximum received reconstructed unit (MRRU) is negotiated to 
be 0, no segment headers are allowed on the channel.
Radius Accounting 
Dropped PacketsIndicates whether radius accounting dropped packets are enabled or not for 
a PDSN service.
Profile ID(s) Configures the header compression profiles to use. A header compression 
profile is a specification of how to compress the headers of a specific kind of 
packet stream over a specific kind of link. At least one profile must be 
specified.
Radius Accounting 
Dropped PacketsIndicates if radius accounting for dropped packets is enabled.

Viewing the Local Mobility Anchor Configuration (LMA)
Proxy Mobile IPv6 (or PMIPv6, or PMIP) is a network-based mobility management protocol for 
building a common access technology independent of mobile core networks, accommodating various 
access technologies such as WiMAX, 3GPP, 3GPP2 and WLAN based access architectures. 
The PMIPv6 provides network-based IP Mobility management to a mobile node, without requiring the 
participation of the MN in any IP mobility-related signaling. The mobility entities in the network track 
the movements of the MN, initiate the mobility signaling, and set up the required routing state.
The major functional entities of PMIPv6 are Mobile Access Gateways (MAGs), Local Mobility Anchors 
(LMAs), and Mobile Nodes (MNs).
The Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) is the home agent for a mobile node in a Proxy Mobile IPv6 
(PMIPv6) domain. It is the topological anchor point for mobile node home network prefixes and 
manages the binding state of an mobile node. An LMA has the functional capabilities of a home agent 
as defined in the Mobile IPv6 base specification (RFC 3775) along with the capabilities required for 
supporting the PMIPv6 protocol.
To view the LMA configuration details:
Step 1Right-click the required device in the Vision client and choose Inventory.
Step 2In the Logical Inventory window, choose Logical Inventory > Context> Mobile > LMA. The list of 
LMA services configured in Prime Network is displayed in the content pane. 
Step 3From the LMA node, choose an LMA service. The LMA service details are displayed in the content 
pane.
