Configuring Session DPCs for Mobility Control Messages
The Broadband Gateway chassis has a number of open slots for boards (often called cards). Once installed, the board must be configured. This topic describes the configuration process for the Session DPCs.
Before you begin, you should have done the following:
- Installed the MobileNext Broadband Gateway
- Installed the boards of the Broadband Gateway
- Decided which services DPCs will be Session DPCs
To configure a Session DPC for mobility services, you configure the Session DPC to run the mobility software package. You can configure this capability at the board (FPC) or PFE (PIC) level. This task assumes that the Session DPC is installed in chassis slot 1 and that both PFEs (PICs) are used for mobility services.
- Configure the mobility software package jservice-mobile to run on PIC 0:[edit chassis]user@host# set fpc 1 pic 0 adaptive services service-package extension-provider package jservices-mobile
- Configure the mobility software package jservice-mobile to run on PIC 1:[edit chassis]user@host# set fpc 1 pic 1 adaptive services service-package extension-provider package jservices-mobile
- Configure data flow affinity mobile services. This makes
sure that packet flows are processed in the same fashion. To configure
data flow affinity on PIC 0 and PIC 1:[edit chassis]user@host# set fpc 1 pic 0 adaptive services service-package extension-provider data-flow-affinity user@host# set fpc 1 pic 1 adaptive services service-package extension-provider data-flow-affinity
- Configure the number of data cores used to provide mobile
services. The default value is 1. You can increase the number of data
cores to process heavy loads. To configure the number of data cores
on PIC 0 and PIC 1:[edit chassis]user@host# set fpc 1 pic 0 adaptive services service-package extension-provider data-cores 2 user@host# set fpc 1 pic 1 adaptive services service-package extension-provider data-cores 2
- Configure the total wired memory used to provide mobile
services. To configure the total wired memory on PIC 0 and PIC 1:[edit chassis]user@host# set fpc 1 pic 0 adaptive services service-package extension-provider total-wire-memory 14336 user@host# set fpc 1 pic 1 adaptive services service-package extension-provider total-wire-memory 14336
Normally, you would configure the Session DPC with other services parameters used in all services, not just mobile services. These include the number of number of data pollers (data-pollers) and other service packages (jservices-nat, for instance). This configuration is not covered in the mobility topics.
