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

Configuration template library
The BIMS configuration template library saves various CPE configuration templates. It lets users
query, add, modify, copy, delete, import, export and deploy configuration templates, and also
allows adding, modifying, and deleting folders for hierarchically managing configuration templates.
Users can import a configuration template on the client to the configuration template library. When
importing a file named properly, users can select the applicable CPE classes for the configuration
template, in order to deploy the configuration template accordingly. The exporting function allows
users to export a configuration template in the configuration template library to the client. By clicking
a configuration template name, users can view the details of the configuration template.
NOTE: The file can be configuration file or configuration segment.
In the configuration template library, the configuration template name must be unique in the same
level of directory, and a configuration template named the same as a template in the library cannot
be imported.
Deploying a configuration segment modifies part of the CPE configuration, and the CPE generally
does not reboot; deploying a configuration file replaces the startup configuration file of the CPE,
and the CPE generally restarts.
Query configuration templates
Use this function to query the configuration files or configuration segments matching certain

10 FAQ
10.1 When the operator redirects the CPE from server A to server B for management, why is the
status of the CPE still reachable on server A?
This problem is caused by the CPE status polling policy of BIMS. To reduce the bandwidth
usage, BIMS determines whether a CPE is reachable by trying to connect to the CPE. After
the operator redirects the CPE on server A to server B for management, when server A tries
to connect to the CPE, the system returns the result “Success”, and server A considers the
CPE as reachable, only if the TR-069 function of the CPE is available.

Ack status The Ack status of an alarm can be Acknowledged or Unacknowledged.
ACS Auto-Configuration Server (ACS) is the server that interacts with the CPE and uses the CWMP to
manage the CPE. In BIMS, there is an ACS in each BIMS background. You can deploy multiple
ACSs in a distributed way, each of which manages a certain number of CPEs, thus expanding
the management capacity. ACS servers interact and synchronize data through the JGroup protocol.
ACS URL URL of the ACS used for managing CPEs, in the format of http://host:port, where host is the host
name or IP address of the ACS server, and the port is 9090 by default.

one segment of a two-segment session. At the time of setup of L2TP connection, many control
packets are exchanged between server and client to establish tunnel and session for each direction.
One peer requests the other peer to assign a specific tunnel and session id through these control
