Figure 7-19: PTA-MD Service Configuration Window (PTA-MD Tab)

QoS Parameters

QoS Category --- ATM Quality of Service.


Note Inapplicable parameters are greyed out when a QoS Category is selected. Values are not required for all applicable parameters. For example, values can be entered for the Peak Cell Rate, Minimum Cell Rate, and Cell Delay Variation Tolerance parameters when ubr is the selected QoS Category (but values may not be required for all three parameters).

Choose values appropriate to your selected QoS category for the following options:

Peak Cell Rate --- the maximum value that the cell rate will reach.

Sustainable Cell Rate --- the cell rate that the network must sustain.

Minimum Cell Rate --- the lowest value of the cell rate.

Maximum Burst Cell Size --- the maximum number of cells per burst.

Cell Delay Variation Tolerance --- the delay variation that the data can withstand without degradation.

Sub-Interface Parameters

The Sub-Interface Parameters define a local interface created (on the NRP) to communicate with the service network.

IP Address --- a local IP address that is used while communicating with the service.

Subnet Mask --- a subnet mask is a 32 bit number used to separate the network and host sections of an IP address.

Encapsulation Type --- the IP over ATM encapsulation type used when forwarding traffic to the next hop.

Assigned Number --- uniquely identifies the sub-interface for the service uplink.

Egress Port Parameters

The physical line card and port details through which the service is accessed.

Egress VPI (0 - 255) --- outgoing port VPI value.

Egress VCI (32 - 16383) --- outgoing port VCI value.

Egress Port --- The location of the outgoing line card port. For example, 2/1/0, where 2 represents the slot number in the 6400 chassis where the line card is located, 1 is the subslot (lower row) and 0 is the port number.

PVC Configuration

VPI (0 - 255) --- internal VPI value.

VCI (32 - 16383) --- internal VCI value.

VPI/VCI Auto Allocation --- the NSP/NRP Interface PVC Parameters (VPI and VCI) can be completed either manually or automatically by selecting the appropriate option from the VPI/VCI Allocation list. When the Manual option is selected the VPI and VCI boxes must be completed by the operator. When the Automatic option is selected the values are selected automatically by the 6400 SCM and (the VPI and VCI boxes are greyed out). We recommend that you keep the Automatic option selected.

Local Service Profile Tab

The Local Service Profile tab (shown in Figure 7-20) displays the attributes that need to be configured to set up the PTA-MD local service profile on the NRP-Service Selection Gateway (SSG).


Figure 7-20: PTA-MD Service Configuration Window (Local Service Profile Tab)

The Local Service Profile tab displays three frames: General, DNS Configuration, and Remote RADIUS Configuration.

General

Name --- local service profile name.

Description --- allows you to enter a description to help identify the local service profile. The Description is optional.

Type --- allows you to select Passthrough or Proxy as the service Type. When Passthrough is selected, the NRP SSGs local RADIUS server authenticates the service. The IP Address of the local RADIUS server is configured in the Cisco 6400 NRP Management window (SSG Configuration tab). Refer to the "Cisco 6400 NRP Management Window" section for further details. When Proxy is selected the remote RADIUS server authenticates the user for access to the service (this is the RADIUS server at the service destination). The IP Address of the remote RADIUS server is configured in the Remote RADIUS Configuration frame (see the "Remote RADIUS Configuration" section for further details).

Mode --- allows you to select the service Mode parameter. The service Mode is configurable within the local service profile for security reasons (that is, from the service provider's point of view if a subscriber is logged on to this service).

The SCM allows the ability to specify whether the service can be accessed concurrently with other services or not by configuring a Service Profile's Service Mode as Sequential or Concurrent. The subscriber is prevented from simultaneously logging on to any other service when the Sequential option is selected. The subscriber can simultaneously log on to any other Concurrent service when the Concurrent option is selected.

The SCM allows the ability to specify whether the service can be accessed concurrently with other services or not by configuring a Service Profile's Service Mode as Sequential or Concurrent. The subscriber is prevented from simultaneously logging on to any other service when the Sequential option is selected. The subscriber can simultaneously log on to any other Concurrent service when the Concurrent option is selected.

Password --- required to access this service. The Password should be the same as the service password on Figure 5-16.

Domain Name(s) --- multiple Domain Names can be entered. each name must be separated by a semi-colon.

Service Route --- The SCM provides the ability to configure the networks that make up the service by defining Service Routes. The SCM allows multiple service routes to be specified.

Next Hop IP Address --- the IP Address of the next hop in the network. The SCM allows you to configure the next hop gateway IP address for the service. The SCM binds the local service profile to the next hop gateway IP address or will bind the NHG key to the next hop gateway IP address depending upon the selection made.

Next Hop Gateway Key --- KEY string to bind next hop IP address to. When the Next Hop Gateway Key is not entered the 6400 SCM binds the next hop IP address to the service profile name.

Idle Timeout (seconds) --- allows you to set a timeout (in seconds) for the SSG connection object within the local Service profile that a connection object can remain idle. The Idle Timeout parameter is optional.

Session Timeout (seconds) --- allows you to set a session timeout (in seconds) for the SSG connection object within the local Service profile. The Session Timeout parameter is optional.

DNS Redirection/Fault Tolerance

The DNS Redirection/Fault Tolerance parameters define the DNS configuration.

DNS Fault Tolerance --- can be set to Enabled or Disabled. When Enabled, both the Primary and Secondary DNS Server IP addresses are available. When Disabled only the Primary DNS Server IP address is available.

Primary DNS Server --- the IP address of the Primary DNS Server. No DNS commands are set onto the NRP when the Primary DNS Server IP Address is set to 0.0.0.0.

Secondary DNS Server (for failover) --- the IP Address of the failover DNS Server. Available only when the DNS Failover parameter is Enabled. When the DNS Failover parameter is Enabled the DNS Server at this IP Address is used when the Primary DNS Server fails.

Remote RADIUS Configuration

The Remote RADIUS Configuration parameters are only valid for the Proxy service type.

RADIUS IP Address --- IP Address of the remote RADIUS Server.

RADIUS Auth-Port --- defines the port to be used for authentication. Defaults to 1645.

RADIUS Acct-Port --- defines the port to be used for accountancy. Defaults to 1646.

RADIUS Secret --- unique secret key for the RADIUS Server.

Route Bridge Encapsulation (RBE) Service Configuration Window

Route Bridge Encapsulation Tab

The Route Bridge Encapsulation tab (Figure 7-21) displays four frames: QoS Parameters, Sub Interface Parameters, Egress Port Parameters, and PVC Configuration.
