pgwFunction

The pgwFunction table models the Packet Data Network Gateway, which provides user plane connectivity to packet data networks. The role of the PGW is implemented within a network hardware node and is modelled by NCIM using the pgwFunction entity type. Multiple pgwFunction instances can be implemented within a single network hardware node.

The following table describes the pgwFunction table.
Table 1. pgwFunction table
Column name Type Constraints Description
entityId Integer FOREIGN KEY

NOT NULL

 The identifier of a pgwFunction location entity from the entityData table.
pgwFunctionName 64-character string NOT NULL Name of the PGW function instance configured on the physical node.
MCC 3-character string   A PGW can support multiple PLMNs. The MCC attribute specifies the Mobile Country Code (MCC) of the primary PLMN supported by the PGW. Primary PLMN usually means the sole PLMN or the PLMN of the operator responsible for the operation and maintenance of the PGW. The MCC consists of three digits.
MNC 3-character string   A PGW can support multiple PLMNs. The MNC attribute specifies the Mobile Network Code (MNC) of the primary PLMN supported by the PGW. Primary PLMN usually means the sole PLMN or the PLMN of the operator responsible for the operation and maintenance of the PGW. The length of the MNC (two or three digits) depends upon the value of the MCC.
supportedPLMNs Integer   This is a count of the number of PLMNs (Public Land Mobile Networks) supported by the PGW
emsDistinguishedName 255-character string   The distinguished name by which the PGW is known to its element management system (EMS)
emsIpAddress 39-character string   The IP address of the element management system
vendorName 64-character string   The vendor/manufacturer of the PGW
vendorModuleType 64-character string   Vendor specific PGW Type
softwareVersion 64-character string   Vendor specific PGW sofware version
operationalState Enumeration   Operational state of the pgwFunction. Takes one of the following values:
  • Enabled
  • Disabled
  • Other
  • Unknown
administrativeState Enumeration   Administrative state of the pgwFunction. Takes one of the following values:
  • Unlocked
  • Locked
  • Shutting Down
