Chapter 12 Value Added Services (VAS) Traffic Forwarding
Configuring VAS Traffic Forwarding
There are three broad aspects to VAS traffic forwarding configuration in the SCE platform:
• Configuring global VAS traffic forwarding options, such as enabling or disabling VAS traffic
forwarding, or specifying the VAS traffic link.
• Configuring a VAS server, such as enabling or disabling a specific VAS server, or enabling or
disabling the VAS health check for a specified VAS server.
• Configuring a VAS server group, such as adding or removing a specific VAS server, configuring the
minimum number of active servers per group, or configuring VAS server group failure behavior.
Note Additional VAS traffic forwarding configuration and monitoring options are available from the SCA BB
Console. See Managing VAS Traffic Forwarding Settings in the Cisco Service Control Application for
Broadband User Guide.
Following is a high-level description of the steps in configuring VAS traffic forwarding.
1. Configure the SCE platform— define the servers and the server groups, configure Pseudo IP for the
GBE interfaces, and enable VAS mode.
2. Verify the state of the individual VAS servers as well as that of the VAS Server Groups to make sure
all are Up (see Monitoring VAS Traffic Forwarding, page 12-28).
3. Configure which traffic goes to which Server Group through the SCA BB console (see Configuring
VAS Traffic Forwarding from the SCA BB Console, page 12-17).
Configuring VAS Traffic Forwarding from the SCA BB Console
Configuration of the VAS Traffic Forwarding solution is distributed between the SCA BB console and
the SCE platform CLI:
• SCE platform CLI configuration:
–
Physical VAS server parameters — VLAN tag, Admin status and health check parameters
–
VAS server groups parameters — the VAS servers that belong to the group and the action to take
if the group enters a failure state
• SCA BB console configuration — the traffic forwarding rules, meaning which portion of the
subscriber traffic should be forwarded to the VAS servers.
This configuration is defined per package so different subscribers can receive different VAS service,
based on the package they bought.
Global Options
There are two global VAS traffic forwarding options:
• Enable or disable VAS traffic forwarding
• Configure the link number on which to transmit VAS traffic (necessary only if the VAS servers are
connected on link 0, rather than link 1, which is the default VAS traffic link))
