How to Install, Uninstall, and Upgrade the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG

This module describes the procedures for installing, uninstalling, and upgrading the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG on the SM.

The SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG is an external component (PQI file) of the SM software and should be installed separately using the SM Command-Line Utility (CLU). The SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG distribution is part of the SM LEG distribution.

The installation package of the LEG includes a set of configuration files and CLU commands for the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG.

Installing the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG

Prerequisites

Verify that the Service Control Application for Broadband (SCA BB) is installed on all SM and SCE devices. If not, install the application as described in the Cisco Service Control Application for Broadband User Guide .

SUMMARY STEPS

1. Install the PQI file of the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG

2. Run the p3inst command-line utility (CLU) from the SM CLU directory ~pcube/sm/server/bin

3. Edit the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG configuration files.

4. Load the configuration files to the SM using the p3smCLU

5. Configure the SCE to send RDRs to the LEG

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1 Install the PQI file of the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG

a. Run the p3instcommand-line utility (CLU) from the SM CLU directory ~pcube/sm/server/bin

Example:

>p3inst --install -f dhcpsnif.pqi

Note After the installation of the PQI file, the Subscriber Manager restarts automatically.

Step 2 Edit the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG configuration files.

The SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG includes two configuration files under ~pcube/sm/server/root/config :

•dhcpsnif.cfg —Configures general attributes of the LEG

•dhcp_pkg.cfg —Configures rules for package assignment

Note It is recommended to familiarize yourself with these files immediately after the first installation and edit them according to your specific needs. See Configuring the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG for more information.

Step 3 Load the configuration files to the SM using the p3smCLU

Run the p3smcommand line utility from the SM CLU:

This command-line utility loads the new configuration to the SM and activates it.

Example:

>p3sm --load-config
Step 4 Configure the SCE to send RDRs to the LEG

Run the RDR-formatter CLI on the SCE platform to add the LEG as a category 3 RDR destination. You must use the same port number as defined by the RDR server in the SM. The default port number is 33001.

Note To support SM cluster topology, set the cluster VIP as the SM-IP in the following CLI.

SCE2000>configureSCE2000(config)>RDR-formatter destinationSM-IPportportcategory number 3 priority 100SCE2000(config)>exit
Uninstalling the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG

SUMMARY STEPS

1. Remove the configuration of the RDR-formatter.

2. Uninstall the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG by running the p3instCLU

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1 Remove the configuration of the RDR-formatter.

Run the RDR-formatter CLI on the SCE platform to remove the LEG as a category 3 RDR destination:

SCE2000>configureSCE2000(config)>no RDR-formatter destinationSM-IPportportSCE2000(config)>exit
Step 2 Uninstall the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG by running the p3instCLU

Example:

>p3inst --uninstall -f dhcpsnif.pqi

Note After the uninstall process, the SM restarts automatically.

Upgrading the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG

The SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG and SM versions must be identical; therefore, the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG must be upgraded as part of the SM upgrade process. The upgrade for the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG should be performed together with the upgrade process of the SM.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. Backup the configuration files of the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG.

2. Force the SCEs to store the RDRs during the upgrade.

3. Uninstall the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG by running the p3inst CLU

4. Perform an upgrade of the SM

5. Install the new version of the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG by running the p3instCLU

6. Restore the configuration files of the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG.

7. To make the SCEs send the RDRs that they stored during the upgrade, enable the RDR Server on the SM by setting the start parameter in the RDR Server section to true.

8. Load the new configuration of the SM by running the p3sm CLU

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1 Backup the configuration files of the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG.

The original configuration files are deleted by the uninstall process in the next step.

Step 2 Force the SCEs to store the RDRs during the upgrade.

To force the SCEs to store the RDRs, disable the RDR Server on the SM by setting the start parameter in the RDR Server section to falseand loading the configuration by running the following CLU:

>p3sm --load-config
Step 3 Uninstall the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG by running the p3inst CLU

Example:

>p3inst --uninstall -f sce-sniffer-dhcp-leg-pqi

Note After the uninstall process has successfully completed, the SM automatically restarts.

Step 4 Perform an upgrade of the SM

The SM upgrade procedure is described in the Cisco SCMS Subscriber Manager User Guide .

Step 5 Install the new version of the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG by running the p3instCLU

Example:

>p3inst --install -f sce-sniffer-dhcp-leg-pqi
Step 6 Restore the configuration files of the SCE-Sniffer DHCP LEG.

Step 7 To make the SCEs send the RDRs that they stored during the upgrade, enable the RDR Server on the SM by setting the start parameter in the RDR Server section to true.

Step 8 Load the new configuration of the SM by running the p3sm CLU

Example:

>p3sm --load-config
