2 BIMS Quick Start
Use this content to guide you through key aspects of network management in BIMS.
Authenticate and add CPEs
The first step of using BIMS is adding the devices in the network to the system. For more information,
see Authenticate and add CPEs.
Define device groups, and manage privileges
After devices have been added to the network, the administrator can create device groups, and
specify the device groups to be managed by each operator. For more information, see CPE group
management.
IP ping test
Establish device groups and privileges for the network, then run IP ping test to check connectivity
between the selected server and the CPE. For more information, see IP ping test.
10 BIMS Quick Start
3 Typical BIMS applications
The scenarios described in this section are provided to help you better understand how BIMS is
typically applied to aid in network management:
Authenticate and add CPEs
Add a CPE to BIMS, so that you can centrally, effectively manage the CPE. For tutorial or illustration
purposes, assume the IP address of the CPE to be added to BIMS is 10.153.89.150.
CAUTION: Because BIMS authenticates the CPE before adding it, make sure that the BIMS system
parameters match the related parameters of the CPE to be added.
1. Configure the BIMS system parameters, including the default polling time, periodic inform
interval, CPE access parameters, CPE adding policy, and common password. As shown in
the figure below:
• The
• The
•
• The
• With the common password enabled, when the username and password of a CPE do
2. Configure the following CWMP-related parameters for the CPE, including the
username
# Enter CWMP view.
[Test] cwmp.
# Configure the BIMS server address and port. The default port through
which the CPE accesses the BIMS server is 9090.
[Test-cwmp] cwmp acs url http://10.153.129.0:9090
polling interval
periodic inform interval
CPE access parameters
CPE. BIMS can actively connect to a CPE only when the username and password of the
CPE match the access parameters of BIMS. When a new CPE is added, the CPE uses the
default access parameters of BIMS. You can modify the access parameters for a CPE on
the CPE details page.
CPE adding policy

# Configure the username that the CPE uses to accessthe BIMS server.
[Test-cwmp] cwmp acs username bims
# Configure the password that the CPE uses to access the BIMS server.
If the common password is not enabled, the CPE can connect to BIMS
successfully only when the username and password of the CPE match
those of the CPE authentication user configuration for the CPE in
BIMS.
[Test-cwmp] cwmpacs password bims
# Configure the username that BIMS uses to access the CPE, which should
be the same as the system parameter.
[Test-cwmp] cwmp cpe username bims
# Configure the password that BIMS uses to access the CPE, which
should be the same as the system parameter.
[Test-cwmp] cwmp cpe password imcbims
# Specify the egress port for the communication between the CPE and the
BIMS. The IP address of Ethernet 0/0 is 10.153.89.150.
[Test-cwmp] cwmp cpe connect interface Ethernet0/0
3. After the configuration above is completed, the CPE sends a connection request to the BIMS
server. After passing the authentication, the CPE is added to BIMS. Click the Resource tab,
select All CPEs from the navigation tree, and you can see the new CPE.
Modify CPE configuration
Modify the configuration of a CPE. For tutorial or illustration purposes, assume the IP address of
the CPE is 10.153.89.150. Modify the periodic inform interval of the CPE to 720 seconds.
CAUTION: When you modify the CPE configuration, BIMS must actively request to connect to
the CPE. Make sure that the CPE access parameters of BIMS are the same as those of the CPE.
For more information, see Authenticate and Add CPEs.
1. Select the Resource tab, and select All CPE from the navigation tree to display the All CPE
page.
