The CNR LEG distribution is a part of the Cisco Service Control Subscriber Manager LEG distribution file and is located in the CNR_LEG directory. Table 3-1 describes the contents of the CNR LEG distribution package supplied by Cisco.

Installing the CNR LEG on Windows

Note The directory in which the CNR is installed is referred to as cnr-inst-dir.

Step 1 Extract the Cisco Service Control Subscriber Manager LEG distribution file.

Step 2 Locate the CNR LEG distribution tar file under the CNR LEG directory.

Step 3 Extract the CNR LEG distribution and copy the files:

a. Unzip the CNR package to pkg-ext-dir.

b. Copy all files under pkg-ext-dir\winnt to <cnr-inst-dir>\Extensions\DHCP\Dex\.

If the \Extensions\DHCP\Dex\ folder does not exist, create it.

c. Copy the sample configuration file from pkg-ext-dir\doc to a directory of your choice, hereafter referred to as cfg-dir.

Step 4 Configure the CNR LEG by using the sample configuration file.

See the "Information About Configuring the CNR LEG" section.

Step 5 Configure the SM.

See the "Information About Configuring the Subscriber Manager" section.

Step 6 Register the CNR LEG with the CNR:

a. Run the CNR <cnr-inst-dir>/bin/nrcmd command-line utility.

b. Log in to the CNR nrcmd CLU.

To log in, enter the following command:

nrcmd [-C  cluster] [-N  user] [-P  password]

c. Configure the following:

nrcmd> extension smleg create dex cnrleg.dll cnrLegPostSendPacket 

nrcmd> extension smleg set init-entry=cnrLegInitEntry 

nrcmd> extension smleg set init-args=cfg-dir/cnrleg.cfg 

nrcmd> dhcp attachExtension post-send-packet smleg 11  

nrcmd> extension smlegext create dex cnrleg.dll cnrLegPostPacketDecode 

nrcmd> dhcp attachExtension post-packet-decode smlegext 12  

nrcmd> save 

nrcmd> server DHCP reload 

Note You must use the cfg-dir full path in the init-args argument.

Note You must use a slash ("/") and not a back-slash ("\") as the path separator.

nrcmd> extension smlegext create dex libcnrleg.so cnrLegPostPacketDecode 

nrcmd> dhcp attachExtension post-packet-decode smlegext 14  

nrcmd> save 

nrcmd> server DHCP reload 

Note You must use the cfg-dir full path in the init-args argument.
