Service/Subscriber Provisioning

The Cisco 6400 Service Connection Manager (SCM) allows you to make and manage network connections through a set of menu options available by right clicking on an appropriate Cisco 6400 Chassis, Node Switch Processor (NSP), Node Route Processor (NRP, NRP2), Node Line Card (NLC), or port object in MapViewer window. These menu options allow you to:

Create and configure services and subscribers.
Manage the subsequent connection of the subscribers to the services.

Note See the "Cisco 6400 SCM Services" section for a description of each of the service types offered by the Cisco 6400 SCM application.

This chapter details the tasks that you use during day to day service connection management. Service connection management is the name we use to describe combined service and subscriber provisioning. Figure 8-1 describes the basic workflow for service and subscriber provisioning

Figure 8-1: S ervice/Subscriber Provisioning Workflow

Note Each of the windows that appear in this chapter are described in greater detail in "Service/Subscriber Provisioning Windows: Detailed Description".

See the "SCM Tasks" section for details of the SCM tasks that you can execute and the objects that you select to begin the task.

SCM Tasks

Table 8-1 lists the tasks that you execute from each object type using the Cisco 6400 SCM Manager (c6400Manager) view. For example, you would choose a Site, Shelf, or Chassis object when you wish to deploy a service instance object or choose a Shelf or Chassis object when you wish to deploy a connection template.

D efining Policies For Service Provisioning

Many service providers and telecommunications carriers now offer tiered service levels to their customers or subscribers. These service levels are generally defined by the marketing policy of the carrier or service provider. Configuration of the Cisco 6400 SCM service and subscriber provisioning involves the definition of a large number of parameters that are common across these policies.

The Cisco 6400 SCM uses the concept of a service profile to simplify the definition of service parameters.

A service profile is a set of configuration parameters (or attributes) that you can set up in advance before the actual configuration operation. These profiles are saved in the Cisco EMF database. The Cisco 6400 SCM profiles speed up both subscriber provisioning and service provisioning.

Without profiles, you would have to enter a repetitive definition of the same (or similar) information for service or subscriber provisioning operations. For example, you may wish to define "bronze" (low data rate, inexpensive), "silver" and "gold" (high data rate, expensive) profiles for subscriber QoS using a connection template. Connection templates therefore provide a simple method of applying information for use during subscriber provisioning and saves retyping all of the QoS parameters individually for each new subscriber. A typical work flow is provided (Figure 8-2) to help you.

Figure 8-2: Defining Profiles For Service Provisioning

This section describes how to access and configure the Cisco 6400 SCM Service Profile Configuration windows. The values that you choose for each service depends on your network topology and market service offerings.

See the "Service/Subscriber Provisioning Windows: Detailed Description" for further information on the meaning of each service topology and service parameter.

C reating Service Profiles for a PPPoA-SD Service

Service profiles define configuration parameters for the uplink from the Cisco 6400 UAC to the service provider.

You can set up profiles and apply them, or alternatively, you can set up and apply a profile with some of the parameters set and then configure the remaining parameters manually. The services available on the Cisco 6400 UAC have a number of parameters to configure. Set up a number of different service profiles with at least some of the values complete (that can be applied later) to save time.

To create a PPPoA-SD service profile, follow these steps:

Step 1 From a relevant Site, Shelf, Chassis, or service instance object in the MapViewer window, right-click Cisco 6400 UAC > Profile > Configure > PPPoA-SD Service Profiles option. Profiles are globally available within the Cisco 6400 SCM.

Connection Templates

Connection Templates are very similar to VC Classes in Cisco IOS. The main difference is that, where a VC class is local to a specific NRP, Connection Templates are available for each Cisco 6400 UAC managed by the Cisco 6400 SCM application. When a parameter in a connection template is altered and applied, this change applies to all connections that use the template. A connection template is basically a "wrapper" that represents several VC classes, one for each NRP.

Connection templates allow you to set the QoS parameters for the connection between the subscriber PVC and the selected NRP. The connection templates are applied later when connecting the subscriber to a service instance. See the "Connecting a Subscriber to a Service Instance" section for further details on connecting subscribers to a service instance.

Figure 8-44 shown an example workflow for creating and configuring connection templates.

Figure 8-44: Subscriber Provisioning Work Flow

S ervice Provisioning

One of the most important aspect of the Cisco 6400 SCM application is Service Connection Management. The Cisco 6400 UAC contains multiple network elements, an ATM switch, multiple router cards (NRPs), and multiple line cards. Services are deployed across these network elements, a multistage process involving both SNMP and Cisco IOS management commands. The Cisco 6400 SCM application enables point-and-click connection of end subscribers to 6400-based services with all of the underlying Cisco IOS and SNMP operation hidden.

Note See to the "Cisco 6400 SCM Services" section for a description of the service types offered by the Cisco 6400 SCM application.

The Cisco 6400 SCM software is designed to help simplify Cisco 6400 UAC service configuration. A typical work flow is described in Figure 8-49.

Figure 8-49: S etting Up Services on the Cisco 6400 UAC

Note The"Configuring and Commissioning a Service Instance" section is the only section that involves direct configuration of the Cisco 6400 UAC hardware.

Creating a Service Instance

A service instance is an object that holds all the information related to that service. A service instance object must be created (deployed) before the service instance can be configured.

This section includes an example that describes how to create a service instance for an ATM Service. The procedure for creating a service instance for any other service types is very similar to that for the ATM Service.

To create a service instance, follow these steps:

Step 1 Right-click Cisco 6400 UAC > Service > Deploy, Appropriate Service option from a relevant chassis.

Note Where the Appropriate Service is the type of service instance you wish to create (that is, ATM, PPPoA-SD, L2TP, RFC1483 Bridging, RFC1483 IRB, IP Uplink, or RFC1483 Routing).

The Deployment Wizard Object Parameters (1 of 2) window appears (Figure 8-50).

Step 2 Enter the Number of Service objects to create. A single ATM Service object was entered in the example shown in Figure 8-50.

Step 3 Click Forward. The Deployment Wizard Object Parameters (2 of 2) window appears (Figure 8-51).

Figure 8-51: Deployment Wizard - Object Parameters (2 of 2)

Step 4 Enter a Service Instance Name. ATM Service- One was entered in the example shown in Figure 8-51.

Step 5 Click Forward.

Note Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the Number of Service Instances entered in step 2, when required.

Step 6 Click Forward. The Deployment Wizard Summary window appears (Figure 8-52).

Figure 8-52: Deployment Wizard - Summary

Summary information displays in the Summary panel.

Step 7 Check the Summary information is correct.

Step 8 Click Finish (when the Deployment Summary information is correct) to create the new Service Instance objects.

Step 9 Proceed to the "Configuring and Commissioning a Service Instance" section.

The new service instances created now displays in the Cisco 6400 Service View at the left side of the Map Viewer window. You will have to refresh the view. Figure 8-53 shows an example of the ATM Service-ATM Service Instance One service instance created in the previous example.

Figure 8-53: Service Instances Displayed in the Cisco 6400 Service View

C onfiguring and Commissioning a Service Instance

After you create the service instance object, you should configure and then commission the service instance from the appropriate Service Configuration window. The service instance object can be configured in two ways:

By applying an appropriate service profile and then manually configuring each of the remaining parameter in that service instance.
By manually configuring each parameter in the service instance.

This section describes how launch the appropriate Service Configuration window, apply a service profile (if required), configure the remaining parameters, and then commission the service instance for each of the available Cisco 6400 SCM services. Figure 8-54 displays a typical workflow for configuring and then commissioning a service instance.

For the PPPoA-SD service to pass traffic to a designated trunk port, Cisco IOS must be used (to route traffic via layer 3 to a destination network). One way of doing this is to create a PVC on the NRP to support the routing of traffic to the trunk port and then create the required entries in the IP Routing Table.

Execute (on the selected NRP) the following Cisco IOS commands to configure a PPPoA-SD service to pass traffic to a designated trunk port:
- NRP(config)#interface atm0/0/0.<Sub-Interface Number> point-to-point
- NRP(config-if)#ip address <IP Address> <Subnet Mask>
- NRP(config-if)#pvc <NRP-Interface-vpi>/<NRP-Interface-vci>
- NRP(config-if-vc)#class <vc-class-name>
- NRP(config-if-vc)#protocol ip <Dest IP Address> no broadcast

where:

<Sub-Interface Number> is a number for the sub-interface
<IP Address> is the IP Address of the sub-interface
<Subnet Mask> is the Subnet Mask of the sub-interface
<NRP-Interface-vpi> is the same VPI value as used when a PVC is created on the NSP
<NRP-Interface-vci> is the same VPI value as used when a PVC is created on the NSP
<Dest IP Address> is the destination IP Address mapped to the PVC
<vc-class-name> is the name of the vc-class created previously

Now create the required entries in the IP Routing Table:

NRP(config)#ip route <Dest IP Address> 255.255.255.255 atm0/0/0.<Sub-Interface Number>

where:

<Dest IP Address> is as configured previously
<Sub-Interface Number> is as configured previously.

Subscriber Provisioning

Figure 8-88 displays a typical work flow that describes how to create, configure and connect subscribers (that is, provision end customers).

Figure 8-88: S ubscriber Provisioning Work Flow

The first step is to create (deploy) one or more subscriber objects. Each subscriber object can then be configured with their own particular details (for example, connection or contact details).

Each subscriber can then be connected to one or more service instances. Service instances were created earlier. See the "Creating a Service Instance" section for further details.

Creating a Sub scriber

Subscriber objects hold information related to the end subscriber. Subscribers are created by deploying them onto a selected Line Card.

To create subscribers, follow these steps:

Step 1 Right-click Cisco 6400 UAC > Subscriber > Deploy option from a Line Card object. The Deployment Wizard - Object Parameters window (1 of 2) appears. (Figure 8-89)

C onnecting a Subscriber to a Service Instance

Subscribers are connected to service instances within the Service/Subscriber Connection window. The Service/Subscriber Connection window displays three tabs: Connection details, Connect to Single Domain, and Connect to Multi-Domain. Configuration information is required into one or more tabs when connecting a subscriber to a service instance. Certain parameters are grayed out, depending upon what type of service you are trying to connect to.

Table 8-2 displays the Cisco 6400 SCM service types and the tabs in the Service/Subscriber Connection window that should be configured for each service type.

Table 8-2: C onnecting a Subscriber to a Service Instance

Cisco 6400 Service Type	Connection Details Tab	Connect To Single Domain Tab	Connect to Multi-Domain Tab
Pure ATM Switching Service	Configure the parameters displayed in the Connection Parameters and Internal NSP, NRP PVC panels for all service types.	Configure the parameters displayed for all service types. Click Connect when required.	Not required
PPPoA Single Domain			Not required
L2TP			Not required
RFC1483 Routing			Not required
RFC1483 Bridging			Not required
RFC1483 IRB			Not required
IP Uplink			Configure the parameters displayed. Click Connect when required.

To connect a subscriber to a service instance, follow these steps:

Step 1 Right-click the Cisco 6400 UAC > Subscriber > Connect option from a chassis, shelf, or Line card object.

The Service/Subscriber Connection window appears (shown in Figure 8-94). See the "IP Uplink Service Configuration Window" section for further details on the parameters displayed.

Step 12 Configure the parameters displayed in the Connect to Multi-Domain tab.

Note In the Connect to Multi-Domain only, if you choose either PPPoA or PPPoE connection type, then you must first configure Service Station Gateway (SSG). See "Configuring SSG Configuration" section for further details.

Step 13 Click Connect. A pop up window appears (Figure 8-97) asking you to confirm that you wish to connect the selected subscriber.

Figure 8-97: Connect Subscriber to NRP Window

Step 14 Click Yes to proceed. An Action report window appears displaying the Cisco IOS transaction log as connection occurs.

Note A Subscriber connection object is automatically created and placed below the appropriate service instance in the Cisco6400ServiceView and also in the Cisco6400SubscriberView below the appropriate subscriber object. Performance logging can be Activated or Deactivated for each subscriber connection object. See Table 7-1 for further details.

Note The Connect button is grayed out when the Service Instance is in a Commissioned state.

If the Connect operation fails the service instance remains in the Decommissioned state (that is, no configuration is applied to the Cisco 6400 UAC). The Action Report window may identify why the connection failed. Failure diagnostics information can also be located by examining the Cisco IOS log.

Common failure causes can include:

Specifying duplicate (already used) Ingress PVC details.
Forgetting to configure the QoS Parameters in the connection template.
Specifying invalid Ingress PVC details.
Choosing the Manual option for Internal PVC Parameters allocation and choosing a PVC that is already allocated.
