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, NSP, NRP, NLC, or port object in MapViewer window. These menu options allow you to create and configure services and subscribers, and to manage the subsequent connection of the subscribers to the services. Figure 9-1describes the basic workflow for service and subscriber provisioning.

This chapter details the tasks you need to use during day to day service connection management and the name we use to describe combined service and subscriber provisioning.
