Overview of SNMP, MIB, and Traps
Cisco provides complete network FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security) management.
Two interfaces are provided for network management:
•Command-line interface (CLI)—Accessible through the console port on the front panel of the SCE platform or through a Telnet connection to the SCE platform, the CLI is used for configuration and security functions.
•SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)—Provides fault management (via SNMP traps) and performance monitoring functionality.
SNMP
SNMP is a set of protocols for managing complex networks. SNMP works by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
The SCE platform operating system includes an SNMP agent. Configuring the SNMP agent parameters and enabling the SNMP interface is described in the "Configuring the Management Interface and Security" chapter of the Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE) Software Configuration Guide.
MIB
Management Information Bases (MIBs) are databases of objects that can be monitored by a network management system. SNMP uses standardized MIB formats that allow standard SNMP tools to monitor any device defined by a MIB.
The SCE platform supports the following MIBs:
•MIB-II—Defined in RFC 1213, Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based Internets
•Cisco Service Control Enterprise MIB—Described by a number of MIB files
The Cisco proprietary MIB allows external management systems to retrieve general information about the SCE platform operating status and resource utilization, extract real-time measurements of bandwidth utilization and network statistics, and receive notifications of critical events and alarms.
The part of the Cisco proprietary MIB that provides configuration and runtime status for SCA BB is documented in the "SCA BB Proprietary MIB Reference" chapter of the Cisco Service Control Application for Broadband Reference Guide. Other parts of the Cisco proprietary MIB are documented in the "Proprietary MIB Reference" appendix of the Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE) Software Configuration Guide. These books also explain the order in which the MIB must be loaded.
Traps
Traps are unsolicited messages generated by the SNMP agent that resides inside the SCE platform. Traps are generated when an event occurs. When the Network Management System receives the trap message, it can take suitable actions, such as logging the occurrence or ignoring the signal.
The SCE platform supports two general categories of traps:
•Standard SNMP traps—As defined in RFC 1157 and using the conventions defined in RFC 1215
•Proprietary Cisco Service Control Enterprise traps—As defined in the Cisco proprietary MIB
For a description of the SNMP traps and an explanation of how to configure the SNMP trap managers, see "SNMP Configuration and Management" in the "Configuring the Management Interface and Security" chapter of the Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE) Software Configuration Guide.

What to Do Next
After you install the Console, you can use the Network Navigator tool to install PQI files. See How to Install PQI Files on SCE Devices, page 5-21.
Managing Subscribers via Other System Components
Other components of the Cisco Service Control solution offer alternatives for subscriber management (as opposed to using the Subscriber Manager GUI tool in the Console):
•The Cisco Service Control Management Suite (SCMS) Subscriber Manager (SM) has options that are not available from the Console.
•The SCE platform has a wide range of subscriber-related functions.
This section gives an overview of these alternatives, with emphasis on the SCA BB-specific subscriber management options. For in-depth explanations, see the appropriate Service Control documentation.
•Anonymous Subscriber Mode
•Subscriber-Aware Mode
•Selecting Subscribers for Real-Time Usage Monitoring
•Managing CSV Files
Anonymous Subscriber Mode
An anonymous subscriber is one with a name generated automatically by the SCE platform according to an anonymous subscriber group specification. An anonymous subscriber is always mapped to a single IP address. The actual identity of the customer is unknown to the system.
An anonymous group is a specified IP range, possibly assigned a subscriber template. If an anonymous group is configured, the SCE platform generates anonymous subscribers for that group when it detects traffic with an IP address in the specified IP range. If a subscriber template is assigned to the group, the anonymous subscribers generated have properties defined by that template. If no subscriber template is assigned, the default template is used, which cannot be changed by template import operations. Initially, 32 templates are preconfigured, one for each package ID.
Anonymous subscriber groups and subscriber templates are managed using the SCE platform Command-Line Interface (CLI). You can enter CLI commands via a Telnet session. For more information, see the Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE) CLI Command Reference.
Use the following commands to import anonymous subscriber groups and subscriber templates from CSV files and to export subscriber data to these files:
•subscriber anonymous-group import csv-file
•subscriber anonymous-group export csv-file
•subscriber template import csv-file
•subscriber template export csv-file
Note The preceding CLI commands are line interface configuration commands. You must enter line interface configuration mode (see How to Enter Line Interface Configuration Mode) and see the SCE(config if)#
prompt displayed before entering a command.
Use the following commands to delete anonymous groups or subscriber templates from the system.
•no subscriber anonymous-group [all] [name <groupname>]
•clear subscriber anonymous
•default subscriber template all
Note The preceding CLI commands are line interface configuration commands. You must enter line interface configuration mode (see How to Enter Line Interface Configuration Mode) and see the SCE(config if)#
prompt displayed before entering a command.
Use the following commands to display anonymous subscriber information:
•show interface LineCard 0 subscriber templates [index]
•show interface LineCard 0 subscriber anonymous-group [all] [name <groupname>]
•show interface LineCard 0 subscriber amount anonymous [name <groupname>]
•show interface LineCard 0 subscriber anonymous [name <groupname>]
Subscriber-Aware Mode
In subscriber-aware mode, each subscriber is a specific customer with an externally generated name. This externally generated name allows the subscriber to be mapped to more than one IP address and still be identified. Each traffic session (single IP flow, or a group of related IP flows) processed by the SCE platform is assigned to a recognized subscriber on the basis of the configured subscriber mappings.
There are three options for introducing and managing these subscribers:
•The SM GUI tool (see Using the SM GUI Tool, page 11-1)
•The SCE platform subscriber CLI
•The SM subscriber management CLU
The SCE Platform Subscriber CLI
Use the following commands to import subscriber data from CSV files and to export subscriber data to these files:
subscriber import csv-file
subscriber export csv-file
Note The preceding CLI commands are line interface configuration commands. You must enter line interface configuration mode (see How to Enter Line Interface Configuration Mode) and see the SCE(config if)#
prompt displayed before entering a command.
Use the following command to remove subscribers from the system.
no subscriber [all] [name <subscriber-name>]
Note The preceding CLI command is a line interface configuration commands. You must enter line interface configuration mode (see How to Enter Line Interface Configuration Mode) and see the SCE(config if)#
prompt displayed before entering the command.
Use the following commands to display subscribers meeting various criteria:
show interface LineCard 0 subscriber [amount]
[prefix <prefix>] [property <propertyname> equals | greater-than | less-than
<property-val>]
show interface LineCard 0 subscriber [amount] prefix <prefix>
show interface LineCard 0 subscriber [amount] suffix <suffix>
show interface LineCard 0 subscriber mapping IP <iprange>
show interface LineCard 0 subscriber [amount] mapping intersecting IP <iprange>
show interface LineCard 0 subscriber mapping VLANid <vlanid>
Use the following commands to display information about a specific subscriber:
show interface LineCard 0 subscriber properties
show interface LineCard 0 subscriber name <name>
show interface LineCard 0 subscriber name <name> mappings
show interface LineCard 0 subscriber name <name> counters
show interface LineCard 0 subscriber name <name> properties
The SM Subscriber Management CLU
The SM Subscriber Management Utility (p3subs) is a CLU for managing subscribers. You can use it to add or remove subscribers. You can also manage subscriber properties and mappings with this utility.
For more information about p3subs, see the Cisco Service Control Management Suite Subscriber Manager User Guide.
p3subs Syntax
You run p3subs from the Solaris shell prompt. The command-line syntax of the utility is:
p3subs <operation> --subscriber=<Subscriber-Name> [--ip=<IP-address>]
[--property=<property-name=value>] [--domain=<domain-name>] [--overwrite]
The following table lists the p3subs operations relevant to managing subscribers.
Table 13-12 p3subs Subscriber Operations
|
|
--add |
Adds a subscriber or replaces the existing subscriber configuration |
--set |
Updates mappings and properties for the specified subscriber |
--remove |
Removes the specified subscriber |
--show |
Displays information for specified subscriber |
Selecting Subscribers for Real-Time Usage Monitoring
Real-Time Subscriber Usage RDRs report the network activity of a single subscriber per service per metric, in real-time. You must enable the generation of these subscriber usage RDRs separately for each subscriber that you wish to monitor.
Caution
Generating and collecting Real-Time Subscriber Usage RDRs for many subscribers can compromise performance. Enable Real-Time Subscriber Usage RDR generation only for subscribers that must be monitored.
Generation of Real-Time Subscriber Usage RDRs is controlled by the monitor
subscriber property. By default, generation of these RDRs is disabled (monitor = 0)
. To enable generation of the RDRs, change the value of the property to 1.
You can modify this property for selected subscribers using either the SM Command-Line Utility (CLU) or the SCE platform CLI.
