Chapter 9 Service/Subscriber Provisioning

Defining Policies For Service Provisioning

Connection Templates

Connection Templates are very similar to VC Classes in Cisco IOS. The main difference is that, where a VC class is local to a specific NRP, Connection Templates are available for each Cisco 6400 UAC managed by the Cisco 6400 SCM application. When a parameter in a connection template is altered and applied, this change applies to all connections that use the template. A connection template is basically a “wrapper” that represents several VC classes, one for each NRP.

Connection templates allow you to set the QoS parameters for the connection between the subscriber PVC and the selected NRP. The connection templates are applied later when connecting the subscriber to a service instance. See the “Connecting a Subscriber to a Service Instance” section on page 9-72for further details on connecting subscribers to a service instance.
