Defining Policies For Service Provisioning

Defining Policies For Service Provisioning

Many service providers and telecommunications carriers now offer tiered service levels to their customers and/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 configuration profile to simplify the definition of service parameters.

A configuration 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 (see Figure 9-2)to help you.

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

See the Chapter 10, “Service/Subscriber Provisioning Windows: Detailed Description” for further information on the meaning of each service topology and service parameter.

Creating 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. It is worth setting up a number of different service profiles with at least some of the values complete (that can be applied later) to save time.
