Overview of RAN Backhaul Services
Radio access network (RAN) transport manages the backhaul traffic (both voice and data) from the cell site base transceiver stations (BTSs) to aggregation nodes and to base station controllers (BSCs), between BSCs, and between the BSC and an associated mobile switching center (MSC). Figure 4-1 shows an example RAN backhaul topology.
Figure 4-1 Example RAN Backhaul Topology
Figure 4-2 is an abstracted topology view that is used in this chapter when discussing how to configure RAN backhaul services in the Prime Provisioning GUI.
Figure 4-2 Abstracted RAN Backhual Topology
Prime Provisioning uses Internet Protocol (IP) to transport backhaul traffic in RANs. You use Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC) policies and service requests in Prime Provisioning to provision the following services to support RAN backhaul traffic management:
•Circuit Emulation Time Delay Multiple Access (CEM TDM)
•Pseudowire provisioning of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
In addition, the EVC service requests use CEM and pseudowire class objects to bundle common attributes for resuse on every node where the service is provisioned.
The basic workflow for configuring and managing RAN backhaul services in Prime Provisioning, involves the following tasks:
1. Verify prerequisites and preform necessary setup tasks.
2. Create CEM and/or pseudowire classes to be used in RAN backhaul policies and service requests.
3. Create the CEM TDM or ATM policy.
4. Create template(s) for use in the CEM TDM or ATM service request.
5. Create the CEM TDM or ATM service request.
6. Deploy the service request to the device(s) on the network.
The chapter is organized into two sections, one for CEM TDM services and one for ATM services. The above workflow tasks are documented in each of these sections.
Prerequisites
This section covers prerequisites and limitations you should be aware of before configuring RAN backhaul services in Prime Provisioning.
To create CEM TDM policies and service requests, you must first define the service-related elements Prime Provisioning, such as target devices and network links. Normally, you create these elements once. For some coverage of these tasks, see Setting Up the Prime Provisioning Services. Also see other chapters of this guide for how to perform basic infrastructure set up and discovery tasks. The information in the following chapters assumes you have already performed these preliminary tasks.
•Chapter 4 "Working with CEM TDM Services (RAN Backhaul)"
•Chapter 5 "Working with ATM Services (RAN Backhaul)"
Sample Configlets for RAN Backhaul Services
This section provides sample configlets for RAN backhaul service provisioning in Prime Provisioning. It contains the following subsections:
•Overview
•CEM TDM using SAToP PW3
•CEM TDM using CESoPSN
•ATM/IMA PVP Service
•ATM/IMA VCC Service
Overview
The configlets provided in this section show the CLIs generated by Prime Provisioning for particular services and features. Each configlet example provides the following information:
•Service
•Feature
•Devices configuration (network role, hardware platform, relationship of the devices and other relevant information)
•Sample configlets for each device in the configuration
•Comments
Note The configlets generated by Prime Provisioning are only the delta between what needs to be provisioned and what currently exists on the device. This means that if a relevant CLI is already on the device, it does not show up in the associated configlet.
Note The CLIs shown in bold are the most relevant commands.
