To configure a cellular domain with dual SIM deployment
Steps
1 |
Choose Manage→Cellular Domains from the NFM-P main menu. The Cellular Domain Manager form opens. |
2 |
Click Create. The Cellular Domain [Create | Edit] form opens. |
3 |
Configure the Name parameter. |
4 |
Configure the Sim Layout parameter to Dual SIM. For single SIM, see To configure a cellular domain with single SIM deployment. |
5 |
Configure the ADP Process parameter to specify one-step or two-step discovery. |
6 |
Configure the ADP System IP Address parameter. |
7 |
Configure the carrier details. Perform the following for each carrier:
|
8 |
Specify the head-end nodes. An NE can serve as the head-end node for one carrier or both. Perform the following for each head-end node:
|
9 |
Click Select in the Mediation Security panel and choose the required SNMPv3 mediation security policy. |
10 |
Configure the Software Version parameter using the string that identifies the software release to which the devices are to be upgraded; for example, TiMOS-B-RR.r Rn. |
11 |
Click Select in the Software and Firmware Upgrade Policy panel and choose the required software and firmware upgrade policy. Associate a non default SR Software Upgrade Policy. Ensure that Software Download and Activate Image is Enabled under SR Based Setting and Firmware Download and Firmware Activate is Enabled under Firmware Settings. During software upgrade, if the 7705 SAR-Hm has a later image than that mentioned in the domain, the node software is not changed with the version mentioned in the domain since it is already running a latest image. Unlike software upgrade, there is no version check of the current 7705 SAR-Hm firmware. The firmware image mentioned in the domain is pushed down to the node even if it is an older image. Leave the firmware image empty if you want to skip the firmware upgrade. |
12 |
Verify that the correct software and firmware images are imported. |
13 |
If NGE is to be used, click Select in the NGE Domain panel and choose the required NGE domain. |
14 |
Configure the parameters in the BGP Configuration panel. |
15 |
If required, use the Select button in the Post Discovery Action panel to choose a post-discovery action for NEs in the cellular domain. Note: The post-discovery action is performed on the NEs only when the ADP process for each NE in the cellular domain is complete. |
16 |
In the VPRN tab, use the Select button to specify the VPRN service to associate with the cellular domain. |
17 |
Click Apply. |
18 |
Click OK. The Cellular Domain [Edit] form refreshes and displays additional tabs. |
19 |
If the ADP System IP Address parameter is set to something other than Use XML, define one or more IP address pools to provide a sufficient number of IP addresses for all devices that are to be discovered in the cellular domain subnets. Note: The NFM-P does not reuse any IP address in a pool. Ensure that the System Prefix value that you specify allocates a sufficient range of addresses for the subnet. |
20 |
Add subnets to the domain as required. Perform the following for each carrier: |
21 |
Add new devices to the cellular domain, as required.
|
22 |
If any NEs in the cellular domain have unique administrator passwords, click on the Serial Number Data tab. Otherwise, go to Step 24. |
23 |
Perform one of the following.
|
24 |
If any head-end node in the domain is a 7705 SAR, configure BGP peers on the head-end node BGP group; see To configure peer-level BGP. |
25 |
If the ADP System IP Address parameter is set to Use XML, import a list of devices.
|
26 |
Click OK to save your changes and close the open forms, as required. End of steps |
