CHAPTER

Overview of the MWR 1900

The MWR 1900 Mobile Wireless Edge Router is a networking platform optimized for use in mobile wireless networks. It extends IP connectivity to the cell site and Base Transceiver Station (BTS), and through a Fast Ethernet interface to the BTS, provides bandwidth-efficient IP transport of voice and data bearer traffic, as well as maintenance, control, and signalling traffic, over the leased line backhaul network between the BTS and leased line termination and aggregation node via compression (cRTP/cUDP) and packet multiplexing (PPPmux and MLPPP). It supports a limited set of interfaces and protocols, but offers high performance at a low cost while meeting the critical requirements for deployment in cell sites, including small size, extended operating temperature range, high availability, and DC input power flexibility.

The MWR 1900 router is designed to be used at a cell site as part of an IP-RAN solution. Figure 1-1 shows the placement of and connections for the MWR 1900 for this application.

pBTS

MWR 1900 IP BTS router pair

In the IP-RAN solution, the BTS site consists of a pair of MWR 1900 routers. The pair of MWR 1900s provides for an active and standby router for redundancy. A failure of the active MWR 1900 causes the standby router to take over as the active router for the BTS site.

Each pair of MWR 1900 routers at the BTS site is identical in hardware configuration. They connect to each other through the BTS via the Fast Ethernet interfaces. The individual backhaul links to an MWR 1900 router are cabled from a single T1/E1 termination block in the BTS, connecting to both the active and standby routers utilizing a “Y” cable.

Software Features

transitions of the router pair leverages HSRP to control the relays on the VWIC-2MFT-T1-DIR (or VWIC-2MFT-E1-DIR) in each router to ensure that the relays on the active router are closed and the relays on the standby router are open to avoid double termination of the T1 (or E1).

Software Features

The software running on the MWR 1900 platform consists of two components: Cisco IOS software running on the MIPs-based route processor portion of the MWR 1900 hardware, and microcode running on the Cisco network processor, also known as “Parallel eXpress Forwarding (PXF).” Because the MWR 1900 is designed specifically for deployment in an IP-RAN at the BTS, it is customized for performance, high availability, quality of service, and link efficiency.

Cisco IOS Software

Cisco IOS software functions added to the MWR 1900 router for the IP-RAN application include:

• Redundancy logic—For monitoring Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) information to

determine the active and standby router and control T1 termination.

Chapter 1 Overview of the MWR 1900

• Failover logic—To force a switchover for hardware failures or an over-temperature condition.

• Relay control—To open and close the T1/E1 interfaces on the active and standby routers.

• Diagnostic functions—To monitor the “health” of the standby MWR 1900 router.

Standard Cisco IOS software features supported in the MWR 1900 for the IP-RAN application include:

• IP Fragmentation

• IP Multicast

• IGMP

• MLP, PPP Control Path (IPCP, NCP, LCP, CLNS)

• HSRP

• OSPF

• DHCP

• CDP

• NTP

• SNMP

Network Processor Software

To achieve the required efficiency, the MWR 1900 router has microcode running on the network processor to offload the fast-path processing of packets. This allows the MWR 1900 router to support the traffic of up to 4 T1s or E1s (up to 60,000 packets per second) at a targeted 80% processor utilization while performing UDP/RTP header compression/decompression (cUDP/cRTP) and PPPmux.

Chapter 1 Overview of the MWR 1900

The following features are supported in the network processor:

• MAC Classify

• ICMP

• FIB (CEF)

• Load-balancing

• MAC Rewrite

• QoS Matching, including IP Access Lists (Input/Output Security ACLs are not supported), QoS

Group, IP Precedence, IP DSCP, and Input Interface

• QoS Actions, including Set IP Precedence, Set IP DSCP, Set QoS Group, Traffic Shaping, Class

Based WFQ (CB-WFQ), and Low Latency Queuing (LLQ)

• Maintenance of statistics, such as Forwarding, Drop, and Interface

• IPv4

• MLPPP

• MLP, PPP Data Path (MLP LFI is not supported)

• PPPmux

• cRTP/cUDP

Software Features

PPP Multiplexing/Demultiplexing

Encapsulated PPP frames contain several bytes of header information, which adds overhead to a network that is used to transport PPP frames.

RFC 3153 describes a way to overcome this overhead. On the sending end, a multiplexor concatenates multiple PPP frames (subframes) into a single, multiplexed frame (superframe). One header is included in the superframe and the individual PPP subframes are separated by delimiters. On the receiving end, a demultiplexor uses the delimiters to separate the individual PPP subframes.

The MWR 1900 network processor software conforms to this specification and acts as both a multiplexor and a demultiplexor.

RTP/UDP Header Compression

RTP is a protocol used for carrying packetized audio and video traffic over an IP network. RTP, described in RFC 1889, is not intended for data traffic, which uses TCP or UDP. Instead, RTP provides end-to-end network transport functions intended for applications with real-time requirements (such as audio, video, or simulation data) over multicast or unicast network services.

In an RTP frame, there is a minimum 12 bytes of the RTP header, combined with 20 bytes of IP header, and 8 bytes of UDP header. This creates a 40-byte IP/UDP/RTP header. By comparison, the RTP packet has a payload of approximately 20 to 160 bytes for audio applications that use compressed payloads. Given this ratio, it is very inefficient to transmit the IP/UDP/RTP header without compressing it.

RFCs 2508 and 2509 describe a method for compressing not only the RTP header, but also the associated UDP and IP headers. Using this method, the 40 bytes of header information is compressed into approximately 2 to 4 bytes, as shown in Figure 1-2. Because the frames are compressed on a link-by-link basis, the delay and loss rate are lower, resulting in improved performance.

The MWR 1900 network processor offloads both the compression and decompression of RTP frames from the Cisco IOS software.

Note The MWR 1900 router can be configured to perform only IP/UDP compression, in which case the

header is reduced from 28 bytes to 2 to 4 bytes.

Redundancy Support

To ensure availability, the backhaul links to an MWR 1900 router are redundantly cabled to the VWIC-2MFT-T1-DIR/ VWIC-2MFT-E1-DIR cards. This card, designed specifically for the MWR 1900 router, is a modified 2-port T1/E1 Multiflex VWIC with Drop and Insert.The modifications include the addition of relays to activate the T1/E1 ports. The relays allow “Y” cabling for router redundancy where the T1/E1 link is not redundant and default to open. The relays are controlled by HSRP/redundancy protocol between the two routers connected to the same T1/E1.

Note If you choose to use the MWR 1900 router in a non-redundant configuration, you must close the

relays on the card using the standalone subcommand. Also, redundancy parameters are processed when the router is booted up. These parameters cannot be changed “on the fly.”

Chapter 1 Overview of the MWR 1900

HSRP

Cisco’s Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) is used to control which router is active and which is standby. HSRP uses a priority scheme to determine which HSRP-configured router is to be the default active router. Priority is determined first by the configured priority value, and then by the IP address. In each case a higher value is of greater priority.

MIB Support

The MWR 1900 supports the following MIBs:

CHAPTER

First-Time Configuration

This chapter describes how to use the setup command facility to configure your router. The setup command facility prompts you to enter information needed to start a router functioning quickly. The facility steps you through a basic configuration, including local-area network (LAN) and wide-area network (WAN) interfaces. The following sections are included:

• Before You Begin, page 2-1

• Using the Setup Command Facility, page 2-3

• Configuring Global Parameters, page 2-3

• Completing the Configuration, page 2-5

• Where to Go Next, page 2-6

If you prefer to configure the router manually or you wish to configure a module or interface that is not included in the setup command facility, proceed to “Chapter 3, “Cisco IOS Software Basics” to familiarize yourself with the command-line interface (CLI) and then proceed to “Chapter 4,

“Configuring with the Command-Line Interface” for step-by-step instructions.

Before You Begin

This section contains information with which you should be familiar before you begin to configure your router for the first time, including understanding boot images, understanding interface numbering, and knowing what you should do before starting your router.

Understanding Boot Images

The first file on the compact flash device in slot0: must be the Cisco IOS software image that you want to use. If it is not, the MWR 1900 will not be able to boot.

If you need to upgrade or replace the compact flash, be sure to follow the procedures in the Cisco MWR 1900 Mobile Wireless Router Hardware Installation Guide.

Understanding Interface Numbering

Each individual interface (port) on a Cisco MWR 1900 router is identified by number. Figure 2-1 shows the front of the MWR 1900 with the Fast Ethernet ports and the Voice/WAN Interface Card (VWIC) ports.

The Cisco MWR 1900 router chassis contains the following LAN and WAN interface types:

• Two built-in Fast Ethernet LAN interfaces

• Two slots in which you can install Voice/WAN interface cards (VWICs)

The slot numbers are as follows:

• 0 for all built-in interfaces

• 0 for all VWIC interfaces

The numbering format is:

Interface type Slot number/Interface number

Interface (port) numbers begin at 0 for each interface type, and continue from right to left.

The two built-in Ethernet 10/100 interfaces are Fast Ethernet 0/0 and Fast Ethernet 0/1.

The slot number for all VWIC interfaces is always 0. (The W0 and W1 slot designations are for physical slot identification only.) Interfaces in the VWICs are numbered from right to left, starting with 0/0 for each interface type, regardless of the physical slot in which the VWICs are installed.

For example, if you have a VWIC in each VWIC slot, then the interfaces are Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1 in physical slot W0 and Serial 0/2 and Serial 0/3 in physical slot W1. However, if you install a VWIC in physical slot W1 (leaving slot W0 empty), the interfaces in slot W1 are Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1. If you then add a VWIC to slot W0, the interface numbering will shift. The configuration that you created for interfaces Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1 will now be applied to the VWIC in slot W0 and you will need to create a new configuration for the interfaces that you previously configured on W1 (which will now be Serial 0/2 and Serial 0/3).

Chapter 2 First-Time Configuration

Before Starting Your Router

Before you power ON your router and begin to use the setup command facility, make sure you follow these steps:

Step 1 Set up the hardware and connect the console and network cables as described in the Cisco MWR 1900

Router Hardware Installation Guide.

Step 2 Configure your PC terminal emulation program for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

Using the Setup Command Facility

The setup command facility displays from your PC terminal emulation program window.

To create a basic configuration for your router, do the following:

• Complete the steps in the “Configuring Global Parameters” section on page 2-3.

• Complete the steps in the “Completing the Configuration” section on page 2-5.

Using the Setup Command Facility

Note If you make a mistake while using the setup command facility, you can exit and run the facility again.

Press Ctrl-c, and type setup at the enable mode prompt (1900#).

Configuring Global Parameters

Step 1 Power ON the router, see the Cisco MWR 1900 Router Hardware Installation Guide.

Messages will begin to appear in your terminal emulation program window.

--- System Configuration Dialog ---

At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help. Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt. Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.

Step 2 When the following message appears, enter yes to begin the initial configuration dialog:

Basic management setup configures only enough connectivity for management of the system, extended setup will ask you to configure each interface on the system

Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]:y Configuring global parameters:

Step 3 Enter a host name for the router (this example uses 1900-1):

Configuring global parameters:

Enter host name [Router]: 1900-1

Step 4 Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted (more secure) and cannot be seen when

viewing the configuration:

The enable secret is a password used to protect access to privileged EXEC and configuration modes. This password, after entered, becomes encrypted in the configuration. Enter enable secret: xxxx

Step 5 Enter an enable password that is different from the enable secret password. This password is not

encrypted (less secure) and can be seen when viewing the configuration:

The enable password is used when you do not specify an enable secret password, with some older software versions, and some boot images. Enter enable password: guessme

Where to Go Next

Step 1 A setup command facility prompt asks if you want to save this configuration.

Chapter 2 First-Time Configuration

media-type 100BaseX half-duplex no ip address ! interface FastEthernet0/1 shutdown no ip address ! end

To complete your router configuration, do the following:

[0] Go to the IOS command prompt without saving this config. [1] Return back to the setup without saving this config. [2] Save this configuration to nvram and exit.

Enter your selection [2]: Building configuration... Use the enabled mode 'configure' command to modify this configuration.

Press RETURN to get started!

If you answer no, the configuration information you entered is not saved, and you return to the router enable prompt. Type setup to return to the System Configuration Dialog.

If you answer yes, the configuration is saved and you are returned to the EXEC prompt.

Step 2 When the messages stop displaying on your screen, press Return to get the command line prompt.

The 1900-1> prompt indicates that you are now at the command-line interface (CLI) and you have just completed a basic router configuration. However, this is not a complete configuration. You must configure additional parameters using the Cisco IOS software CLI.

Where to Go Next

At this point you can proceed to the following:

• Chapter 3, “Cisco IOS Software Basics” to learn how to use the CLI to configure additional

features.

• Chapter 4, “Configuring with the Command-Line Interface” to complete the configuration of the

interfaces, routing protocols, and other features.

• The Cisco IOS software configuration guide and command reference publications for more

advanced configuration topics.The Cisco 10000 ESR Quality of Service Documents for more information on configuring QoS. These publications are available on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your router, on the World Wide Web from Cisco’s home page, or you can order printed copies.
