The Cisco 6400 Service Connection Manager (SCM) allows you to make and manage network
connections through a set of menu options available by right clicking on an appropriate
Cisco 6400 Chassis, NSP, NRP, NLC, orport object in MapViewer window.These menu options allow
you to create and configure services and subscribers, and to manage the subsequent connection of the
subscribers to the services. Figure 9-1 describes the basic workflow for service and subscriber
provisioning.
This chapter details the tasks you need to use during day to day service connection management and the
name we use to describe combined service and subscriber provisioning.

Service profiles allow you to configure and save
some or all of the configuration information for a
service instance. You can then later apply the profile
to many service instances.
Connection templates allow you to set the Quality of
Service (QoS) parameters for the connection
between the Cisco 6400 UAC and the subscriber.
Apply a profile (optional) and then configure the
remaining parameters manually or configure all of the
parameters manually. Some manual configuration is
always required (for example, uplink VPI/VCI). Click
the Commission Service button to "roll" the selected
service configuration onto the 6400 UAC hardware.
Create a subscriber to connect to a service
instance (created earlier). Configure the subscribers
information. Connect the subscriber to one or more
service instances using a connection template.

See the “SCM Tasks” section on page 9-2 for details of the SCM tasks that you can execute and the
objects that you select to begin the task.
SCM Tasks
Table 9-1 This section describes the tasks that you execute from each object type using the
Cisco 6400 SCM Manager (c6400Manager) view. For example, you would select a Site, Shelf or
Chassis object when you wish to deploy a service instance object or select a Shelf or Chassis object
when you wish to deploy a connection template.
Table 9-1Launch Points for Service Connection Management Tasks
Many service providers and telecommunications carriers now offer tiered service levels to their
customers and/or subscribers. These service levels are generally defined by the marketing policy of the
carrier or service provider. Configuration of the Cisco 6400 SCM service and subscriber provisioning
involves the definition of a large number of parameters that are common across these policies.
The Cisco 6400 SCM uses the concept of a configuration profile to simplify the definition of service
parameters.
A configuration profile is a set of configurationparameters (or attributes)that you can set up in advance
before the actual configuration operation. These profiles are saved in the Cisco EMF database. The
Cisco 6400 SCM profiles speed up both subscriber provisioning and service provisioning.
Withoutprofiles,you would haveto enter a repetitivedefinitionof the same (or similar) information for
service or subscriber provisioning operations. For example, you may wish to define “bronze” (low data
rate, inexpensive), “silver” and “gold” (high data rate, expensive) profiles for subscriber QoS using a
connection template. Connection templates therefore provide a simple method of applying information
for use during subscriber provisioning and saves retyping all of the QoS parameters individually for
each new subscriber. A typical work flow is provided (see Figure 9-2) to help you.

This section describes how to access and configure the Cisco 6400 SCM Service Profile Configuration
windows. The values that you select for each service depends on your network topology and market
service offerings.
See the Chapter 10, “Service/Subscriber Provisioning Windows: Detailed Description” for further
information on the meaning of each service topology and service parameter.
Creating Service Profiles for a PPPoA-SD Service
Service profiles define configuration parameters for the uplink from the Cisco 6400 UAC to the service
provider.
You can set up profiles and apply them or, alternatively, you can set up and apply a profile with some
of the parameters set and then configure the remaining parameters manually. The services available on
the Cisco 6400 UAC have a number of parameters to configure. It is worth setting up a number of
different service profiles with at least some of the values complete (that can be applied later) to save
time.
