Provisioning DSL Services

This chapter provides information about DSL service creation and activation using CPC.

Overview

The DSL Service Application supports the following service activation procedures:

• Provider Activation--allows the Operator to automate all of the provisioning required when a new host (ISP, NSP) orders service from a DSL Access Provider.

• Subscriber Activation --automates all the provisioning required when an end-user orders service from a DSL Access Provider.

For Provider and Subscriber Activation, the Operator will typically need to identify the access point(s) and provide a service profile to automate the service creation. You can not activate subscribers without activating providers first.

Note   All DSL Service objects must have unique names. To ensure that all names are unique, the SRso,ServiceObjectUnique flag must be turned on in $CCP_CONFIG/syavconfig.site file before you begin provisioning DSL Services.

Provider Activation

Provider Activation refers to the provisioning actions that must occur when a new host (ISP,NSP) orders service. It consists of 3 possible steps.

Step 2  

a. Activating one of many Provider Access Points--These access points create the logical ports which directly connect the DSL access provider to the service provider. They may be at a single Point-of-Presence or they may be distributed.

b. Creating a Provider Service Definition--This represents a particular Service Definition for a Provider. One Provider may have multiple Service Definition objects, such as Gold ATM Service, Silver ATM Service, and VoiceOver ATM Service.

c. Creating a Provider Access Definition--This represents a particular Access Definition for a specific Provider Access Point. The Access Definition is an object in the CPC database and does not represent an actual object in the physical network.

Step 3   Creating a Subscriber Aggregation Point (optional)--This is a point in the network where many DSL subscribers can be aggregated together and backhauled to the provider's network.

Activating the Provider Information

When activating a Provider, the user is able to specify information about the Provider and the maximum number of subscribers. This information can be provided in a service profile.

Activating the Provider Access Points

After the provider information is activated, the Operator can create Provider Access Points as shown in Figure 17-2 below. This creates a logical port on the node which interfaces the DSL access provider's network to the ISPs network. A provider can also have multiple PAPs.

Creating the Provider Service Definitions

After creating the Provider Access Points, the Operator can create a Provider Service Definition service object. This service object defines a particular service offered by the provider and a provider many have multiple Service Definition objects.

Activating the Subscriber Aggregation Points

After activating the Provider Access Points and the Provider Service Definition, the Operator can create a Provider Access Definition Service object. This Service object defines a range of VCI/VPI or DLCI for a particular Service. A provider may have multiple Provider Access Definition Service Object associated with different ranges.

Activating the Subscriber Aggregation Points

The third and final step in activating a provider is creating Subscriber Aggregation Points (see Figure 17-3 below). By doing this, many subscribers can be aggregated on a single aggregation point and taken across the DSL transport network on a single channel.

When a LAN Subscriber Aggregation Point is created, a bridge group and cross connection are created on DSLAM and PVC is automatically threaded across the DSL transport network.

When a L2TP Subscriber aggregation point is created, a Tunnel is created on a Cisco 6400 UAC and PVC is automatically threaded across the DSL transport network.

Subscriber Activation

Subscriber activation refers to all of the automated provisioning that must occur in the DSL access provider's network when a new end-user orders service from a provider. This is shown in Figure 17-4 below.

Subscriber Connection

Subscriber connection is part of subscriber activation and represents a DSL subscriber connection to the provider. A subscriber can have multiple connections to allow for multi-destination DSL access.

There are three different types of subscriber connections that can be established:

• a direct connection between a subscriber logical port and PAP logical port

• if the Service type is set to LAN aggregation, a connection between a subscriber logical port and the bridge group created by the LAN subscriber aggregation point Service object.

• if the Service type is set to L2TP aggregation, a connection is created between a subscriber logical port and the L2TP subscriber aggregation point NRP port.

Provisioning DSL Services Using CPC

All provider and subscriber activation and profile creation is accessed through the Service Application folder on the Tree Viewer. These functions can also be accessed using the Flow-Through Interface (Script Language or CORBA). For more information on provisioning through FTI, refer to the CPC Integration Guide and CPC Integration Reference Guide.

Figure 17-5 shows the navigation to the DSL Service folder on the Tree viewer of the CPC GUI.

Multiple Connection ID Ranges

The DSL Service Application can associate a number of services with a single logical port. Each service is assigned a separate range of VPI/VCI so that when a PVC is attached to the logical port, the Service Application recognizes the service and which VPI/VCI range is used. The automatic connection ID assignment feature of the CPC engine is extended to support multiple VPI/VCI ranges for a single logical port and is available for both ATM and Frame Relay connections IDs.

Functionality

The Provider Access Definition Service Object defines a range for a certain Provider Access Point (LPort). At the Service Request layer, this translates into the creation of a Multiple Range Item. This object contains the Provider Service Definition name, the Provider Access Point Object ID and the range. A get list of the Multiple Range Item object for a logical port provides all the ranges that apply to that logical port. The Provider Access Service Object also sets a flag on the logical port that indicates it is to be treated as a multiple range logical port. When the last Provider Access Definition Service Object is deleted for a logical port, the flag is reset.

Activating Provider Services

The Provider service component represents a particular Service Provider (ISP,NSP). To activate provider information you must specify information about a Provider. This information is stored in CPC's database.

Figure 17-6 shows the DSL Provider Service Object Viewer.

The attributes for the DSL Provider Service are outlined in Table 17-1 below. Attributes marked with an asterisk "*" as their Acceptable Value are read only and cannot be changed.

Activating Provider Access Points (PAPs)

The Provider Access Point (PAP) service component represents a particular access point for the provider. When a PAP is created, an associated ATM/Frame Relay logical port is created in the backbone network which interfaces the DSL access provider's network to the ISP/NSP's network. During logical port creation all available bandwidth from the physical port is allocated. The Over Subscription parameter is mapped to CBNT in CPC.

To activate a PAP you must specify information about the access point. This information is stored in CPC's database. You can create Service profiles for different PAPs. Profiles provide an easy way to store information about the various types of PAPs. When you activate a PAP by specifying a profile name, CPC uses the values that you have specified in the profile for the provider access point that you are activating.

Activating Provider Access Definition Services

A Provider Access Definition Service represents an access definition for a specific Service. Providers can have multiple access definitions, each associated with the same of different PAPs (for different PSDs). These service objects define a range of VCI/VPI or DLCI for a particular Service and exist only as objects in the CPC database.

You can create profiles for Provider Access Definition Services. When you use a Provider Access Definition by specifying a profile name. CPC uses the values that you have specified in the profile for the definition that you are using. Profiles provide an easy way to store information about the various types of Provider Access Definition Services.

PPP Aggregation

In PPP aggregation architecture, DSL and LAN-to-LAN traffic is bundled together on channels to form a single, wider, faster connection. The result is a greater throughput and less delays. This architecture may employ a Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) or a LAN to aggregate connections.

The DSL Service Application allows operators to create multiple aggregation points on the same NRP (Node Route Processor) on a Cisco 6400.

L2TP Subscriber Aggregation service provisioning requires an end to end connection between the Provider's Aggregation Point on the Cisco 6400 and the Provider's Access Point. To create the L2TP SAP, CPC retrieves the Provider, PSD, and PAP from the L3 Connectivity Service Object. If the tunnel name and password are not provided, the Cisco 6400 Equipment Module will auto-generate them. The tunnel is then created and pointed towards the CNX object. The CNX object is part of the L3 connectivity.

LAN Subscriber Aggregation Service provisioning requires an end to end connection between the LAN subscriber Aggregation Point on the CopperEdge DSLAM and the Provider's Access Point. When creating a LAN SAP, CPC creates two objects. The first is an aggregation point (Bridge Group) and the second is a network connection between the aggregation point and the PAP LPort. The Service Object automatically selects the PVC type to connect the aggregation point and the PAP. Traffic parameters for the PVC are calculated from the Upstream Rate and the Downstream rate attributes. This LAN SAP Service Object has two Service Element profiles, one for the Bridge Group (BridgeProfile) and the other for the network connection (PVCProfile).

Activating DSL L3 Connectivity Services

The DSL L3 Connectivity Service Object manages IP connectivity between two NRPs on a Cisco 6400 or between an NRP and PAP. If an NRP is not defined, the Service automatically selects an NRP port based on the maximum number of connections on the NRP. A network connection can also be established between the NRP port and the PAP. VPI an VCI values are auto-generated for the NRP port and can be pre-defined for the PAP.

You can create Service profiles for L3 Connectivity Services. When you activate an L3 connection by specifying a profile name. CPC uses the values that you have specified in the profile for the connection that you are activating. Profiles provide an easy way to store information about the various types of connectivity services.

This Service is provisioned exclusively over the Cisco 6400. For more information on the Cisco 6400, refer to the chapter titled "Configuring the Cisco 6400 Equipment Module"

Activating Subscriber Connections

Subscriber Connection activation represents a connection between a DSL Subscriber Connection and a Provider. A subscriber can have multiple subscriptions for different services, which can be provided by the same or different providers. A provider's default Service is used if a Provider Service Definition is not specified. Operators can activate multiple connections per subscriber and implement multi-destination support.

The Service Type attribute must be entered by the Operator because it specifies what type of connection is required.

If the Service Type is Frame Relay of ATM, a direct connection between the subscriber's logical port and PAP (which must belong to the specified provider). A Provider Service Definition is required and must be set for the specified provider. A Provider Service Definition is required and must be set for the specified provider. Both the Provider Service Definition and the Provider must have the same Service Type.

If the Service Type is LAN-Aggregation, the Operator must enter a value for the LAN SAP attribute which must be a valid LAN SAP Service Object. The provider, Service and PAP values are derived from the LAN SAP specified. The subscriber's physical port is connected to the bridge group created by the LAN SAP Service Object.

If the Service Type is L2TP-Aggregation, the Operator must enter a value for the L2TP SAP attribute which must be a valid L2TP SAP Service Object. The provider, Service and PAP values are derived from the L2TP SAP Service Object. The provider, Service and PAP values are derived from the L2TP SAP specified. A Network Connection is created between the subscriber's logical port and the L2TP SAPs NRP port.

You can create Service Connection Profiles for different subscribers. When you connect subscribers by specifying a profile name. CPC uses the values that you have specified in the profile for the Subscriber Connection that you are activating. Profiles provide an easy way to store information about the various types of subscriber connections.

Figure 17-26 shows the Subscriber Connection Profile Object Viewer.

If the Z LPort Between NSP/NRP is not specified, CPC will automatically try to select a logical port for you. CPC will select a logical port based on the following:

If the subscriber is connected directly to a Cisco 6400:

• If L3 connectivity exists, CPC selects the logical port with the maximum bandwidth allocated between the NRP and the provider.

• If L3 connectivity does not exist, an error message will be displayed.

If the subscriber is connected directly to a Cisco BPX or a DSLAM (one or more Cisco 6400s connected to the same BPX of DSLAM):

• CPC selects all Cisco 6400s connected to the same BPX or DSLAM. If no 6400s exist, an error message will be displayed.

• CPC will check if a L3 connectivity object exists for the specified provider.

  • If L3 connectivity exists, CPC selects the logical port with the maximum bandwidth allocated between the NRP and the provider.

  • If L3 connectivity does not exist, an error will be displayed.

This selection will be made among the L3 connectivities that have a direct connection to the provider (L3 connectivity type=L31W) and the a_nrp logical ports that are configured for the L2TP SAPs Radius Server.

DSL Service Discovery

The DSL Service Discovery application allows network operators to distinguish provider topology, subscriber topology based on existing network elements (logical ports, CNX, PVC, etc.). The application is usually performed following an upload, when information regarding service elements is stored in the CPC database.

Sequence

Prior to executing Service Discovery, NC Discovery is invoked to find all Network Connections (NCs) and Link Connections (LCs) that exist in the network. For more information on NC Discovery, refer to the chapter titled "General Functions and Features". Each Service Object in the DSL Service Application possesses its own algorithms for discovery. Text input files are used for those Service Objects that have no records in the CPC database. A Network Type input file defines all the network types that are used for discovery.

When performing a DSL Discovery, the following must be executed in order:

1. Perform a Network Upload.

2. Run NC Discovery

3. Run SDLSODiscovery

4. Run low level Service Discoveries if needed (e.g. ATM PVCs)

Setup

Before running Service Discovery, the installed files must be edited. Changes to the files may occur in place or, if multiple users are going to run the discovery, the files must be copied to a separate area and edited.

The SDLSODiscovery file is located in the $CCP_BIN directory and refers to the SDLdiscovery.properties file in the $CCP_CONFIG directory. The properties files contain references to the various text files that are used by Discovery. These text files (SDL*.txt) are located in the $CCP_REL/mng/template directory and must be edited before using Discovery. The SDLdiscovery.properties file must be modified to specify absolute pathnames for the text files.

DSL Discovery uses transactions that are open and does not apply them. Any errors that occur while processing will cause a DSL Discovery operation to abandon all changes.

Network Type

The Network Type is discovered by augmenting the SDLnetworktypes.txt file which describes the network types in the database to be used for the discovery. This file is modified only when a new Equipment Module is installed. The following is an example of a SDLnetworktypes.txt file:

#Networktypes.txt - describes the Network Types
# CopperMountain Network
Network:CEnt
type:dsl
ATMATM:none
FRFR:CEfxFRCC
FRATM:CEaxFRATMIWCC

L3 Connectivity Service Object Discovery

The L3 Connectivity Service Object is discovered from CPC's database components. Data is gathered from nodes in the DSL network and a new Service Object is created. The following outlines the process of L3 Connectivity Service Object Discovery.

For each Node in the DSL network:

• NCs terminating on the Node are identified

• Of these NCs, those terminating on the PAP ports are identified.

• From these NCs, information regarding the PVCX on the a_tp side is collected followed by the a_side_and z_side logical ports and VPI/VCI values.

• From the a_side logical port and VPI/VCI values, the CNX corresponding to this PVCX is retrieved. This provides the attributes (subifIPaddress, Node, NRP) for the a_side.

The L3 Connectivity Service Object is then created and the Service Object ID is set in the PVCX an CNX objects.

L2TP Subscriber Aggregation Point (SAP) Service Object Discovery

The L2TP SAP Service Object is discovered from CPC's database components. Data is gathered from nodes in the DSL network and a new Service Object is created. The following outlines the process of L2TP SAP Service Object Discovery.

For each Node in the DSL network:

• Cisco 6400 Tunnel information is retrieved. This includes, the DestIPAddress, domainName, TunnelName, and password attributes.

• The corresponding L3TP Connectivity object is retrieved based on the CNX attributes.

The L2TP SAP Service Object is then created and the Service Object ID is set in the Tunnel object.

LAN Subscriber Aggregation Point (SAP) Service Object Discovery

The LAN SAP Service Object is discovered from CPC's database components. Data is gathered from nodes in the DSL network and a new Service Object is created. The following outlines the process of LAN SAP Service Object Discovery.

For each Node in the DSL network:

• Bridge Group (BGs) on the Node are identified.

• The NC terminating on this BG is identified (only one).

• Of these NCs, only those terminating on the PAP ports on the opposite side are selected (this gives Provider, Service and PAP attributes).

• The LC for the associated NC is found.

• From the LC, the PVC connected to the PAP end is retrieved.

The LAN SAP Service Object is then created and the srsoid is set in the BG, NC, LC, and PVC objects.

Subscriber Connection Service Object Discovery

Frame Relay-ATM Connection Service Object Discovery

The Frame Relay-ATM Connection Service Object is discovered from CPC's database components. Data is gathered from nodes in DSL network and a new Service Object is created. The following outlines the process of Frame Relay-ATM Connection Service Object Discovery.

For each Node in the DSL network:

• All NCs terminating on this Node are identified.

• Of these NCs, only those terminating on the Provider Access Points ports are retrieved.

• Of these NCs, the PVCX on the a_tp side is retrieved and used to find its z_side.

• The physical ports on both sides are identified.

• The LC for the associated NC is found.

• If both physical ports are external, then the a_pport gives the Subscribers attributes (network/node/port)

The Frame Relay-ATM Subscriber Connection Service Object is then created and the Service Object ID is set in the NC an PVC objects.

L2TP SAP Connection Service Object Discovery

The L2TP Connection Service Object is discovered from L2TP SAP Service Objects created or found earlier. Data is gathered from objects in the DSL network and a new Service Object is created. The following outlines the process of L2TP SAP Connection Service Object Discovery.

• A list of all of the NRPs (internal LPorts) from the SAP Service Object is retrieved.

• A list of all the Subscriber port on this node is retrieved.

• All CNX objects whose subif=0 are correlated with the PVC list where the z_tp of PVC is the same as the CNX.

• The Connection object list is scanned and the Tunnel pointer is made to correspond to the CNX.

• This is then associated with the SAP Service Object and L3 Connectivity Service Object.

• This association between the L2TP SAP/L3 Connectivity will give the Provider, Service PAP, SAP, etc.

• The list of Subscriber ports will give to Subscriber, VPI,VCI etc.

The L2TP SAP Subscriber Connection Service Object is then created an the Service Object ID is set in the NC, PVCX, and CNX connection objects.

LAN SAP Connection Service Object Discovery

The ATM Connection Service Object is discovered from CPC's database components. Data is gathered from nodes in the DSL network and a new Service Object is created. The following outlines the process of LAN SAP Connection Service Object Discovery.

For each Node in the DSL network:

• A List of Subscribers with a LAN ProtocolType is retrieved.

• From the above list, a second list of all Subscribers ports on this Node is retrieved.

• Ports whose rlbgroup attribute is not null are filtered and the Object IDs are retrieved.

• The Service Object ID of the BG is retrieved. This will become the ID of the LAN SAP Service Object.

The LAN SAP Connection Service Object is then created.

Note   The only restriction to DSL Service Discovery occurs in the extreme case of a single PVC connection. Subscriber connections within the same node that do not have a NC are not discovered.
