Cisco Networking Services Components


The intention of this appendix is to present initial installation and configuration procedures for the components of the BAC product. It takes you through the initial steps required to install and configure components that integrate with BAC and provides links to each component's documentation site. If you wish to understand the full capabilities of each component, then refer to the individual component documentation site

The Cisco Broadband Access Center (BAC) can consist of several functional components that are integrated to provide a management solution for broadband aggregation. If you install Cisco Broadband Access Center in your system, then you should install the CNS Network Registrar, CNS Access Registrar, and CNS Notification Engine components to provide you with a complete BAC system.

This appendix includes the following topics:

CNS Network Registrar

CNS Network Registrar (CNS NR) automates enterprise IP address management. It increases the reliability and efficiency of the address assignment process. This section describes information that you need to properly install CNS NR, specific pre-installation steps, links to component installation documentation, and specific setup and specific configuration information.

CNS NR Installation Considerations

Read this information before you begin to install the BAC software package.


Note    During installation of the BAC product, you can edit the Network Registrar related $BAC_HOME/resourceMgr/common/resourceMgr.cfg and ipservice.cfg configuration files by indicating that you wish to configure the Network Registrar product.

To create a keystore file for a secure log in containing a self-signed certificate that is valid for one year, go to the CNS Network Registrar URL and follow the instructions:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/ciscoasu/nr/nr60/install/igsolar.htm


Caution   You must use the software license key shipped with Network Registrar 6.0 and enter it when you run the product. License keys that were valid for previous versions will not work. To avoid delays in accessing the user interfaces, ensure that the new license key is available before you install or upgrade.

Installing CNS NR

Before you install CNS NR, Release 6.0 installation, read the following initial CNS NR installation steps:


Step 1   Read and comply with all CNS NR prerequisites as described in the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/ciscoasu/nr/nr60/install/index.htm

Step 2   Login in a root or su - root.

Step 3   Move to the location of the code. Type:

cd <location of code>

Step 4   To start CNR install, type the following command and perform the steps listed:

pkgadd -d

a. Accept defaults for directories.

b. Select 1 for both server and client.

c. Accept default port for CCM management SCP port (1234).

d. Enter /usr/j2sdk directory for the JRE directory installed.

e. Enter 3 for the UI to use HTTP and HTTPs.

f. Accept the default port, 8080, for HTTP.

g. Enter /usr/j2sdk for JSSE information and /opt/keys/conf/.keystore for the keystore that you created. Enter the password that you set for the keystore. Lastly, accept the default port, 8443, for HTTPs.

Step 5   Install CNS NR. Access the Cisco CNS Network Registrar Installation Guide available on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) at:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/ciscoasu/nr/nr60/install/igsolar.htm



CNS Access Registrar

CNS Access Registrar is a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server that allows multiple dial-in Network Access Server (NAS) devices to share a common authentication, authorization, and accounting database.

This section lists BAC considerations that you must read before you install the CNS Access Registrar (CNS AR) for AAA RADIUS services and provides the link to the CNS AR Installation Guide.

CNS AR Installation Considerations

Before you begin to install the CNS Access Registrar component, read the following information.


Note    Cisco BAC does not require CNS Access Registrar for the authentication to be successful. BAC needs a RADIUS server which supports RFC1661 and later PPP RFC.

¯ If you install CNS Access Registrar on a different server than the Oracle server, make sure you install the Oracle client on the CNS Access Registrar server.

¯ During CNS Access Registrar installation, provide the Oracle database directory information for BAC.

¯ Verify that the local host setting in CNS Access Registrar is /Radius.

¯ Verify that the local-file service setting in CNS Access Registrar is /Radius/Services.

¯ Change the log directory and data directory permissions for each user other than root to 777.

Installing CNS AR

To install CNS AR software, complete the following steps:


Step 1   Log in as root user. Type su and password.

Step 2   Change to the location of untarred code. Enter:

pkgadd -d

Step 3   Install CNS AR. Go to the following URL and access the Cisco CNS Access Registrar Installation and Configuration Guide available on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) at:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cnsar/3_0/install/index.htm

Step 4   To download CNS AR from Cisco CCO or from a CD-ROM, go to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cnsar/3_0/install/install.htm#1022970



CNS Notification Engine

Cisco CNS Notification Engine (CNS NE) receives Cisco IOS syslog event messages and converts them into SNMP-style events and forwards them to a northbound NMS, namely Cisco Info Center (CIC). This section lists BAC installation considerations that you must read before you install CNS NE and provides the link to the CNS NE installation guide and configuration information.

CNS NE Installation Considerations

Read the following information and address the requirements:

¯ Activate the autosense new node feature, enter yes.

¯ To set up environment, CNS NE standalone, enter option 1.

¯ Specify Transport Protocol, enter option 3 and tibco/rendezvous daemon.

¯ Specify type of TIBCO option, enter option 1 (tibco rendezvous daemon).

Installing CNS NE

To install the Cisco Notification Engine, follow these procedures and access specified links:


Step 1   Read the CNOTE3.0 README file located at:

ftp://ftp-eng.cisco.com/cnote/3.0/readme.cnote30.bba

Step 2   Before starting installation of the CNS Notification Engine, you must enable the CNS Notification Engine monitoring on the IOS devices you will manage. On each monitored IOS device, complete these steps to enable monitoring by the CNS Notification Engine:

a. Go to enabled mode and enter:

config term

Step 3   To enable monitoring, enter:

logging SSNG_host_IP_address

where SSNG_host_IP_address is the IP address of the CNS Notification Engine host.

Step 4   You are now ready to install the CNS NE component. Go to the following URL and access the Cisco CNS Notification Engine Installation and Configuration Guide available on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) at:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cns_note/rel_3_0/index.htm
