Anonymous Groups and Subscriber Templates

An anonymous group is a specified IP range, possibly assigned a subscriber template. When an

anonymous group is configured, the SCE Platform generates anonymous subscribers for that

group when it detects traffic with an IP address that is in the specified IP range. If a subscriber

template has been assigned to the group, the anonymous subscribers generated have properties as

defined by that template. If no subscriber template has been assigned, the default template is used.

Subscriber templates are identified by a number from 0-199. Subscriber templates 1-199 are

defined in csv formatted subscriber template files. However, template #0 cannot change; it always

contains the default values.

If an anonymous group is not explicitly assigned a template, the group uses template #0.

Subscriber Files

Individual subscribers, anonymous groups, and subscriber templates may all be defined in csv

files. 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 subscriber data is imported into the system using the

appropriate CLI command. The SCE 1000 can also export the currently configured subscribers,

subscriber templates and anonymous groups to csv-formatted files

Subscriber csv files and subscriber template csv files are application-specific. Refer to the

relevant application documentation for the definition of the file format.

Each line in a csv file should contain either a comment (beginning with the character ‘#’), or a list

of comma-separated fields.

Subscriber csv files are application-specific, but a default format is defined by the SCE, which is

used when the application does not choose to over-ride it. The application might over-ride the

format when additional data is desired for each subscriber or subscriber template. Refer to the

relevant Service Control Application documentation to see if the application defines a different

format.

Subscriber template csv files are application-specific. Refer to the relevant Service Control

Application documentation of the file format.

Anonymous groups csv files are not application specific. Their format is described below.

Subscriber default csv file format

Each line has the following structure:

name, mappings

• Name: is the subscriber name

• Mappings: contains one of more mappings, specifying the Tunnel IDs or IP addresses

mapped to this subscriber. Multiple mappings are separated by semi-colon. Tunnel IDs and IP

address/range cannot be specified for the same subscriber. The following mapping formats are

supported:

• Tunnel ID: A number in the range 0-1023. Example: 4

1 ... 216 217 218 ... 490
