Configuring Broadband Provisioning Registrar

The Configuration page displays a list of all default configurations that you can modify using the Broadband Provisioning Registrar (BPR) administrator user interface. These configurations include:

Configuring Default Settings

The Defaults page, found under the Configuration option, lets you access the default settings for the overall system and the regional distribution unit (RDU). (See Figure 4-1.)

Figure 4-1 Configure Defaults Page

This section describes how to view and change these default settings.

Changing System Defaults

To change your system defaults:

Step 1 Select Configuration on the Primary Navigation bar.

Step 2 Select Defaults from the Secondary Navigation bar and the Configure BPR Defaults page appears. (See Figure 4-1.)

Step 3 Enter the appropriate information for the SNMP read and write community strings.

Note The default values appearing in this page can be changed using the BPR application program interface. Refer to the Broadband Provisioning Registrar Developer's Guide for additional information.

This information identifies the community strings that let you control access to MIB information stored on devices that support the SNMP protocol. Together, the read and write community strings act as passwords to access SNMP agent information. The write community string must be known by any device before information can be set on the SNMP agent.

SNMP Write Community String—Any device that may require SNMP information must know the write community string. The default write community string is private.
SNMP Read Community String—Any device that can read or access the SNMP MIB must know the read community string. The default read community string is public.

Note To prevent unauthorized modification of configuration information, these community strings should be set on all SNMP Agents.

Step 4 Click Submit when complete. Once the changes have been added to the administrative database, the BPR defaults successfully modified page appears. (See Figure 4-2.)

Managing DHCP Criteria

DHCP criteria describes the specific criteria for a device when selecting a scope in Network Registrar. For example, a DHCP criteria called provisioned-docsis has an inclusion selection tag called tagProvisioned. The DHCP criteria is associated to a DOCSIS modem and, when this modem requests an IP address from the Network Registrar, Network Registrar will look for scopes that are associated to the scope selection tag called tagProvisioned and are in the correct network segment.

To access the DHCP Criteria page:

Step 1 Select Configuration on the Primary Navigation bar.

Step 2 Select DHCP Criteria from the Secondary Navigation bar and the Manage DHCP Criteria page appears. (See Figure 4-6.)

Figure 4-6 Manage DHCP Criteria Page

Managing Licenses

Software licenses are used to activate specific features or to increase the functionality of your installation. Each is available as either a permanent license or an evaluation license.

Permanent—A permanent license is one that is purchased for use in your network environment and activates the specific features for which it is intended.
Evaluation—An evaluation license enables functionality for a specific amount of time after installation. You can upgrade an evaluation license to a permanent license by entering a new permanent license number.

Caution Do not attempt to deploy into a fully operational network with an evaluation license key installed. Any provisioning done using an evaluation license will be disabled when that evaluation license expires.

Software licenses are entered during installation, as described in the Broadband Provisioning Registrar Installation Guide. However, when you upgrade from an evaluation license to a permanent license, you do not have to re-install the software. You can perform the upgrade directly from the BPR administrator user interface; you do not have to repeat the entire installation process.

The Manage License Keys page (Figure 4-25) displays a list of licenses that have been entered for your implementation. This BPR release supports both evaluation and permanent licenses for high-speed data (DOCSIS cable modems), residential VoIP (media termination adapters), and digital set-top boxes. The status of each available license is also displayed as either active, expired, not installed, or identifies the expiration date.

Note You can upgrade your evaluation licenses to permanent status. You can also upgrade a permanent license to increase the number of authorized devices. When you reach the limit of you number of licensed devices, new devices will not be provisioned, but exiting devices that are already provisioned continue to receive service.

You are alerted to this fact when you reach 80% of your license limit. This alert is repeated at 2% increments until you reach 90% of your license limit. Thereafter, the alert if displayed at 1% increments.
Status	Specifies the current status of a license. The status can include: Active—The license is valid and the appropriate feature can be used. Expired—The evaluation license is no longer valid.
License Key field	Specify the license number in this field. BPR will recognize whether the license is permanent or an evaluation license and it will determine how many devices are authorized.
Add/Upgrade	Adds a new license or upgrades the software from evaluation to permanent.

Adding, Modifying, and Deleting a License

To add, modify, or delete a license:

Step 1 Obtain your new license key from either your Cisco Systems, Inc. representative or the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) web site. See the Preface in this guide for TAC contact information.

Step 2 Place your cursor in the License Key field.

Step 3 Enter the new license key.

Step 4 Click Add/Upgrade to install the new license key. If you enter a permanent license key, it overwrites the corresponding evaluation key (if that key was installed). If you enter a license key (permanent or evaluation) for a new technology, it will appear in the technology list.

Publishing the Provisioning Information

BPR has the capability to publish the provisioning information it tracks to an external datastore in real time. (See Figure 4-26.) To do this, a publishing plug-in must be developed to write the data to the desired datastore. Refer to the Broadband Provisioning Registrar Developer's Guide for additional information.
