Cisco RPMS Release 2.0.1 Summary
The Cisco RPMS Release 2.0.1 is an enhancement to Cisco RPMS Release 2.0. It introduces new features, and resolves issues in previous releases.
What's New
Diagnostics Tools
Cisco RPMS Release 2.0.1 introduces new diagnostic features to help monitor the system's performance. The diagnostic tools have two functions: to gather information so that you can monitor the Cisco RPMS' performance, and to help diagnose system issues caused by network elements that interact with the Cisco RPMS. Both functions help you to track the Cisco RPMS' performance to ensure it runs smoothly, and should problems occur, help you to diagnose and repair the issues.
By using the diagnostic tools, you can accomplish the following:
•

For more information about the Cisco RPMS diagnostics, refer to Chapter 7 of the Cisco Resource Policy Management System 2.0.1 Troubleshooting Guide.
Trunk-Based VPDN
Another new feature for Cisco RPMS 2.0.1 is trunk-based VPDN. By using trunk-based VPDN, you can differentiate VPDN profiles by trunk groups. You can create VPDN policies so that VPDN calls use the same DNIS number or domain name, but use a different set of VPDN limits and policies according to the trunk associated with the call.
For more information about trunk-based VPDN, refer to the "Trunk-Based VPDN" section in the Cisco Resource Policy Management System 2.0.1 Solutions Guide.
For information on configuring trunk-based VPDN, refer to the following tasks in Chapter 4: Building Service Level Agreements of the Cisco Resource Policy Management System 2.0.1 Configuration Guide:

Trunk Wildcards
Cisco RPMS Release 2.0.1 also introduces the trunk wildcard feature. Trunk wildcarding of the slot and port numbers simplifies defining trunks and, incidentally, trunk groups. By using wildcards, you can define trunk groups by region, and use them when groups would otherwise contain a long list of inclusive slot and port for UGs.
For more information about trunk wildcards, refer to the "Trunk Wildcard" sections in the Cisco Resource Policy Management System 2.0.1 Solutions and Configuration Guides.
Oversubscription
Oversubscription is a feature used by wholesalers to charge an ISP different rates based on the number of ports the ISP uses. For instance, the wholesaler can charge a standard rate for the first 75% of the ports used (or whatever number the wholesaler specifies in the customer profile), and a premium rate for each call exceeding the specified number.
To utilize oversubscription in Cisco RPMS, you must modify the customer profile to include an attribute specifying the oversubscription limit.
Note
Cisco RPMS 1.1 customer overflow limits become customer oversubscription limits in Cisco RPMS 2.0.1, to preserve oversubscription functionality.
If upgrading from Cisco RPMS 2.0:
Cisco RPMS 2.0 customer overflow limits become customer shared overflow limits in Cisco RPMS 2.0.1, to preserve shared overflow functionality.For more information about oversubscription limits, refer to the "Customer Oversubscription" sections in the Cisco Resource Policy Management System 2.0.1 Solutions and Configuration Guides.
