One-step process details

In the one-step process, the node is powered on and ADP-Hm completes the entire discovery and configuration of the node in one step.

The NSP NFM-P uses NETCONF over SSHv2 to configure SNMPv3 parameters, including the users and security encryption and authentication keys for SNMPv3. This information is based on the mediation policy configured for the cellular domain in the NSP NFM-P.

The NSP NFM-P then completes the configuration of the node. The following list summarizes the actions that the NSP NFM-P performs on the node:

  1. Creates a strict security association between the chassis information, IMEI, and the SIM in SIM slot 1. After this association is made, the SIM cannot be inserted into another node and managed by the NSP NFM-P without operator intervention to instruct the NSP NFM-P to create a new association between the SIM and a new chassis.

  2. Configures usernames and passwords, scope of control, and associated profiles.

  3. Configures PDN profiles that are used to connect to the cellular network after ADP-Hm is complete. If dual SIM is enabled for the cellular domain in the NSP NFM-P, then the second cellular port and PDN router interface is configured.

  4. Downloads the required radio firmware version for SIM 1 and if dual SIM is enabled, it downloads the radio firmware version for SIM 2. The NSP NFM-P resets the radio so that SIM 1 uses the latest downloaded version.

  5. Downloads the required software load and resets the node to use the latest version of the software.

  6. Downloads the NGE key-group of the NGE domain associated with the cellular domain if the node is to enter the NGE domain. The PDN router interface is also configured with the key-group needed to enter the NGE domain.

  7. If the cellular mode is Static Cellular Interface IP Mode or Dynamic Cellular Interface IP Mode, the NSP NFM-P performs the following configurations toward the head-end nodes of the cellular domain to establish an in-band management service. (For more information, see the Static cellular interface IPv4 mode, and Dynamic cellular interface IPv4 mode sections in this guide.)

    • Configures a BGP session to each head-end node in the cellular domain that is associated with the first cellular network. The BGP sessions are configured with the PDN router interface associated with SIM 1.

    • Configures a BGP session to each head-end in the cellular domain that is associated with the second cellular network when two SIMs are required. The BGP sessions are configured with the PDN router interface associated with SIM 2.

    • Configures an in-band management VPRN service used by the NSP NFM-P to manage the node in-band over the GRE-IMPLS tunnels over the cellular network. This VPRN service can optionally be NGE encrypted to provide an additional layer of security when managing nodes.

  8. If dual SIM is enabled for the cellular domain, the NSP NFM-P performs a manual SIM switch to enable cellular service using the second SIM. It then confirms that the second cellular network and the in-band management VPRN service are working correctly. After the second SIM is verified, the NSP NFM-P performs another manual SIM switch and enables cellular service using the first SIM, as was used throughout the ADP-Hm process.

The NSP NFM-P is responsible for saving the configuration after the actions listed above are executed, and may save the configuration several times over the course of executing them.

After the above actions are completed, the NSP NFM-P stops the ADP-Hm process by executing tools>perform>auto-boot complete command.

NSP NFM-P then disables ADP-Hm so that the discovery process no longer runs; the NSP NFM-P does so by setting the no auto-discover command in the BOF and by clearing all DNS entries, if multiple entries existed.

The system and alarm status LEDs are set and the node is ready for further services configuration. For a description of how LEDs indicate the node status during the ADP-Hm process, see LED operation during the ADP-Hm process.
