About this document
This document covers the basic provisioning needed to bring up a
Multiservice Passport Access Network Link (MPANL) between a Passport
4400 and 6400.
Also includ ed is a s ecti on on est abl ishin g a net work managem ent co nnecti on
to the 4400, and a s ecti on on configuring the RSI -RSA componen ts req uired
for voice networking.
How this document is setup
Each section includes an example configuration with typical variables. The
commands that follow use the variables from the example. When you use the
commands, replace the example variables with variables unique to your
network set up.
The examples and commands use and assume default values wherever
possible.
When to use this document
The provisioning in this guide occurs after
9
• the 4400 expansion modules are installed, the box is installed an d the
cables co nnected
• the 6400 cards are install ed, software downl oaded, cabl es connected and
a network management station has access to the node

This document assumes that a network manag ement workstation is already
connected to eithe r the 6400 locall y, or is connected to the Pass port Networ k
and can access the 6400 remotely.
This assumpt ion is base d on the u sual practi ce of deplo ying an d settin g up the
Passport 6400 nodes prior to the deployment of the 4400s.

Troubleshooting the MPANL connection
If your MPANL does not come up:
On the 4400
Check all cabling. Ensure all cables are correct for the interface type and
mode.
Ensure the connection to the 3rd party frame relay network is correct.
Ensure the LMI protocol is set to that of the frame relay network.
On the 6400
Check all cabling. Ensure all cables are correct for the interface type and
mode.
Check the Passport patch panel connections

Configuring a network management connection to a 4400
The objective of this section is to enable network management connectivity
between a network management terminal and the Passport 4400. Once
connected, a net work operator at the terminal can open a telnet or NMS
session to the 4400 for further provisioning and surveillance. The network
management terminal can be located anywhere in the network.
The 6400 commands assum e the network manag em ent core router (NMCR)
is not yet set up. However, in a typical Passport netwo r k, the 6400 nodes are
up and running prior to 4400 deployment.
Note:
• A single FRUNI interface can be us ed for multiple Passport 4400s.
However, each 4400 requires it s o w n S P VC connection to the network
management core router (c onfigured as an ILS virtual router).
• This section assumes the 4400 has an active MPANL into the Passport
network.
25
Figure 3 shows an e xample of a network manag em ent connection to a
Passport 4400. The commands that follow use the variables in this example.
When you configure your network management connection, replace the
example variables with va riables unique to your network setup.

Configuring the RSI - RSA connection
Voice networking requires the pro visioning of the Remot e Server Interface
(RSI) on the 4400 and the Re mote Server Agent (RSA) on the 6400. T oge ther
they form the connecti on t hat al lo ws t he 4400 ac cess to the v o ice ne tworkin g
call server (VNCS) on the 6400. Both digit al and analogue v oi ce netw orking
require an RSI - RSA connection.
Note the following when configuring the connection:
• A typical network has multiple RSAs for load sharing and backup
purposes. The following example also uses this approach.
• You can locate the RSA on a ny 6400 in the network. However, the RSA
and V N CS must be on th e sa me she l f .
• The RSA should be configured on its own function processor.
Figure 4 shows an example of an RSI - RSA configuration. The commands
that follow us e the variables from this example. When configuring your
network, repl ace the e xample v ariables wi th vari ables unique to your network
setup.
