Cisco Internet OSS for VoIP: Infrastructure Manager Implementation Guide
OL-2706-01
Chapter 2 Provisioning
Configuration and Provisioning Solution Components
Voice Services Provisioning Tool
Provisioning with the VSPT is the process of preparing a Cisco Media PGW 2200 to communicate with
an SS7 network, with Cisco media gateways, and with the other components of an OPT Solution. The
VSPT application provides an easy to use GUI to provision the Cisco PGW 2200.
VSPT can be deployed as an integrated component of the CMNM or as a standalone application. In the
Cisco VoIP: Infrastructure Manager Solution configuration, it runs on the CMNM server. It allows you
to import an existing configuration, modify the configuration, and export it to the same or different
devices; or wizards guide you through high-level configuration steps to create the initial network
provisioning information for a newly installed node, creating iterative entries from a single operation. It
can also facilitate provisioning of individual call parameters, simplifying the provisioning of a large live
network.
During a provisioning session, VSPT automatically generates the Man Machine Language (MML) or
command line interface (CLI) scripts used to configure network elements, assembles these commands
into a batch file, and deploys the file to the appropriate network device. VSPT is used to augment the
Cisco PTC provisioning application, providing bulk provisioning support and an alternative for
provisioning the PGW 2000.
Recommended Hardware Configuration for VSPT
VSPT runs on the CMNM server in this Cisco VoIP: Infrastructure Manager Solution.
CiscoView
CiscoView is a device monitoring application that is built into the CiscoWorks 2000 network
management package. Installing CiscoWorks 2000 is the method of adding CiscoView to your network
management applications. This Solution installs CiscoView (through the installation of
CiscoWorks 2000) on a separate Solaris 8 host. A prerequisite to the installation of CiscoWorks2K on
Solaris 8 is the installation of Solaris 8 patch 108827-19 or later. This Solution assumes you will install
the entire recommended patch cluster for Solaris 8 as outlined in the “Installing the Solaris 8 Patch
Cluster” section.
CiscoView is launched by the CMNM application to provide a device level view of Cisco network
devices. CiscoView provides support for a wide range of devices and has the capability of adding support
for future devices through download of device specific description files. CiscoView aids in zeroing in on
trouble spots in the network or in providing device specific hardware and interface usage data.
Recommended Hardware Configuration for CiscoView
CiscoView is installed on the CMNM host machine and is already considered in the hardware
recommendations for CMNM.
