Overview: Provisioning static subscribers
If you have subscribers that are not managed on a separate policy charging and rules function (PCRF), you can create static subscribers. Static subscribers are individual subscribers of services that are not managed by a separate policy server. You can add static subscribers directly to the Policy Enforcement Manager™, and assign enforcement policies to them. Each subscriber can have one or more enforcement policies associated with them.
You can use static subscribers alone or in combination with those managed by a PCRF.
Provisioning multiple subscribers
Subscriber CSV file format
You can upload a list of static subscribers for policy enforcement on the BIG-IP® system. A CSV file is a text file in a comma-separated-values format. Microsoft® Excel® can be used to view and create such files. The list of subscribers must be in a text file in comma separated value (CSV) format.
Each line of the CSV file represents one subscriber in the format:
subscriber_ID,subscriber_ID_type,number_of_IP_addresses,subscriber_IP,policy_1,policy_2,policy_n
- subscriber ID
- A unique identifier for the subscriber that depends on the subscriber ID type.
- subscriber ID type
- The format of the subscriber ID. This field is optional, but the comma is required. If you omit subscriber ID type, the system assigns the default value of IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity).
- subscriber IP
- The IP address of the subscriber. This field is optional, but the comma is required.
- subscriber IP list
- The list of subscribers. This field is optional, but the comma is required.
- policy_1,policy_2,policy_n
- One policy or more policies assigned to the subscriber. Multiple policies must be separated by commas.
For example:
subscriber_11.1.1.1,private,11.1.1.1,bronze,gold,silver
You must include Subscriber ID and at least one policy enforcement policy for each subscriber. You need to include the comma for missing fields. Do not include spaces between values. The policies listed must be included on the policies list in
, and be provisioned using a listener or a policy enforcement profile.For example, to specify subscriber 8315555555 in IMSI format with a gold policy, you can leave out the subscriber ID type and subscriber IP address:
8315555555,,,gold
