Provisioning Broadband Aggregators
The Cisco Broadband Access Center software enables you to provision services on broadband aggregators.
Provisioning occurs after you create administrative networks and network devices. See "Managing Devices" For information about creating administrative networks and network devices.

"Downloading Service Profiles and Service Features" section.
Overview of Provisioning Broadband Aggregators
From the Network tab, you can provision the Cisco IOS devices that act as broadband aggregators on your network. Before you begin to provision broadband aggregators, you should understand:
•The role or roles that a device plays on a network
•Encapsulation methods on a network
•Service profiles and features
•Virtual templates and configuration templates
The Role or Roles of a Device on the Network
You can configure Cisco broadband aggregators with the roles defined in Table 7-2.
Encapsulation Methods
The encapsulation method for a broadband aggregator depends upon its role in the network:
•If it is a LAC, you can configure one of the following PPP encapsulation types:
–PPP over ATM (PPPoA)
–PPP over Ethernet over ATM (PPPoEoA)
–PPP over Ethernet over Ethernet (PPPoEoE)
–PPP over Ethernet over VLAN (PPPoEoVLAN)
•If it is a PTA, you can configure the following encapsulation types:
–All of the PPP encapsulation types also available to a LAC or an LNS
–Routed bridge encapsulation (RBE)
Note With a PTA using a PPP encapsulation type, authentication occurs at the service provider using a local database or a AAA server. RBE users are not authenticated and, instead, are routed directly to the Internet.
Figure 7-1 illustrates encapsulation for a LAC/LNS network.
Figure 7-1 Encapsulation in the LAC/LNS Network Model
Figure 7-2 illustrates encapsulation for a PTA network.
Figure 7-2 Encapsulation in the PTA Network Model
Service Profiles and Service Features
Once you determine the role that a device plays on your network and what encapsulation method it supports, you identify the service profiles and service features with which to provision it. Table 7-3 defines what a service profile is and what a service feature is.
Virtual Templates and Configuration Templates
BAC supports two types of templates:
•Cisco IOS virtual templates—A virtual template is a logical entity that you configure on routers and dynamically apply to virtual access interfaces. A virtual template provides generic configuration on an as-needed basis to a virtual interface. For more information, see Cisco IOS documentation.
•BAC configuration templates—A configuration template contains the Cisco IOS commands, attributes, and variables that define a service feature. A configuration template defines variables and merges variables with data to generate commands that you download to a router. You can use the default configuration templates supplied with BAC, or you can define your own templates. Use the Show Template action button to view the template. For information about customizing BAC templates, see "Customizing Broadband Access Center."
Note In the Web UI, BAC displays default values for many attributes that it derives from the configuration templates.
Organizing and Managing Services
Routers perform single or multiple roles in a broadband aggregation network, depending on the services with which you configure them. Organizing and managing services involves the following procedures.
1. Adding a service profile.
2. Adding the Basic service feature to the service profile.
3. Optionally, adding additional service features to the service profile.
4. Repeating 1 through 3 for each role that a router performs.
A service profile describes the role and the encapsulation type of a broadband aggregator. A service feature is comparable to a Cisco IOS configlet, which consists only of the commands necessary to modify the router's current configuration to enable a particular service.
About Service Profiles
Selecting a service profile determines the service features that you can configure on a router. Table 7-4 summarizes the service features available with each service profile:
About Service Features
The service features that you download to a router become part of its running configuration. Table 7-5 provides an overview of all the service features.
Note You can customize any BAC service feature using Template Manager. For more information, see "Customizing Broadband Access Center."
