To add a TMS interface to a VPRN

Prerequisites

The 7750 SR-7 and 7750 SR-12 devices support the configuration of a TMS interface in a VPRN.

The following conditions must be met before you can configure a TMS interface.

  • You must have one VPRN configured. The TMS interface is configured on this on-ramp VPRN.

  • Optionally, you can have two addition VPRNs configured, one for the management VPRN and one for the off-ramp VPRN.

  • Each VPRN must be associated within the same site on the same NE.

  • An XP-IOM-3 is required.

  • The ISA-TMS daughter card must be installed.

Steps

To associate an ISA-TMS daughter card with the TMS interface, select an ISA-TMS in the TMS Info panel and configure the ISA-TMS Authentication parameter.

Note: An ISA-TMS card can only be assigned to one TMS interface.
