Adding the UPF

This section describes the sequence of operations for adding the UPF.

  1. When a UPF is added, NodeMgr sends the list of IPs to IPAM.

  2. When new static IP pool or static IP address range is configured, this feature enables route association for UPFs based on load balancing model.

    Note

    The same procedure is applicable when a new or existing DNN is added to a new or existing UPF respectively.

  3. To redistribute existing static IP pools or ranges to the new UPF, use the following procedure:

    • Mark a pool/range offline

    • Clear the subscribers

    • Delete IP pool or range

    • Add the IP pool or range again.

      This step allocates the chunks to the new UPF.
