What's New

Cisco RPMS 1.2 is an enhancement release to RPMS 1.x. New features in Cisco RPMS 1.2 include:

Diagnostics Tools

Cisco RPMS Release 1.2 introduces new diagnostic features to help monitor the system's performance. The diagnostic tools have two functions: to gather information so that you can monitor the Cisco RPMS' performance, and to help diagnose system issues caused by network elements that interact with the Cisco RPMS. Both functions help you to track the Cisco RPMS' performance to ensure it runs smoothly, and should problems occur, help you to diagnose and repair the issues.

By using the diagnostic tools, you can accomplish the following:

For more information about the Cisco RPMS diagnostics, refer to Chapter 7 of the Cisco Resource Policy Management System 2.0.1 Troubleshooting Guide.

Trunk-Based VPDN Groups

Another new feature for Cisco RPMS 1.2 is trunk-based VPDN groups. By using trunk-based VPDN, you can differentiate VPDN profiles by trunk groups. You can create VPDN policies so that VPDN calls use the same DNIS number or domain name, but use a different set of VPDN limits and policies according to the trunk associated with the call.

For more information about the trunk-based VPDN groups, refer to the Cisco Resource Pool Manager Server 1.1 Solutions Guide.

Trunk Wildcards

Cisco RPMS Release 1.2 also introduces the trunk wildcard feature. Trunk wildcarding of the slot and port numbers simplifies defining trunks and, incidentally, trunk groups. By using wildcards, you can define trunk groups by region, and use them when groups would otherwise contain a long list of inclusive slot and port for UGs.

For more information about the trunk wildcards, refer to the Cisco Resource Pool Manager Server 1.1 Solutions Guide.

Cisco RPMS 1.1 Issues Resolved

The following issues were found in Cisco RPMS 1.1, and have been resolved with Cisco RPMS 1.2.

DDTS Number Cisco RPMS Release 1.1
Issue Caveat

CSCdy05732

Unable to distinguish VPDN groups based on the trunk of associated call.

 

CSCdt08394

Cisco RPMS conducts call rejection before call replacement.

 

CSCdy28656

Wildcarding should be available when defining trunks.

This is an enhancement to Cisco RPMS. For more information, see the What's New section.

CSCdx77428

The UG heartbeat does not close active calls when the UG is down.

 

Cisco RPMS 1.2 Issues

The following issues were found in Cisco RPMS 1.2:

DDTS Number Cisco RPMS Release 1.2
Issue Caveat Workaround

CSCdy34246

Cisco RPMS tries to map a specific slot or port number, even if the this trunk is not associated to the customer.

Cisco RPMS always tries to map the most specific configured trunk group. If this trunk group is not associated with any customer, Cisco RPMS fails to find a matching customer and rejects this call.

If a trunk group is not associated with any customer profile and is more specific than another trunk group, the more specific trunk group must be deleted. Otherwise, Cisco RPMS tries to map a customer profile using this more specific trunk group. Since the more specific trunk group is not associated with any customer profile, Cisco RPMS does not find a matching customer profile.
