1.The number of recommended servers is based on the average subscriber with two devices (1 cable modem and 1 PC).

2.With BACC 2.6.1 and later releases, the non-appliance Sun DPE can be replaced with a DPE-2115 single 3.06 Ghz CPU and 2 GB memory, which yields equal or better performance.

3.Only 100000 MTA devices are currently supported per provisioning group.

4.2 GB for configuration files that are less than or equal to 1.5 KB and 4 GB for configuration files that are more than 1.5 KB.

Types of Installations

This guide discusses two types of installation:

•Individual component installation—The installation program enables you to install one or more individual components of BACC. The individual components are the RDU, Cisco Network Registrar extensions, the Solaris device provisioning engine (DPE), and the KDC. Refer to Chapter 3, “Installing Components” for specifics about installing the individual components.

•Lab installation—The installation program enables you to install BACC for use in a laboratory environment for demonstration or evaluation prior to deploying BACC into a full network implementation. Refer to Chapter 4, “Installing in a Lab Environment” for more information.

You can install BACC from the installation program’s graphical user interface (GUI) or from the command line.
