Chapter 14 Value-Added Services (VAS) Traffic Forwarding
Configuring VAS Traffic Forwarding
Configuring VAS Traffic Forwarding from the SCA BB Console
Configuration of the VAS Traffic Forwarding solution is distributed between the SCA BB console and
the Cisco SCE platform CLI:
•
The Cisco SCE platform CLI configuration:
–
Physical VAS server parameters—VLAN tag, Admin status and health check parameters
–
VAS server groups parameters—the VAS servers that belong to the group and the action to take
if the group enters a failure state
•
SCA BB console configuration—the traffic forwarding rules, meaning which portion of the
subscriber traffic should be forwarded to the VAS servers.
This configuration is defined per package so different subscribers can receive different VAS service,
based on the package they bought.
Global Options
There are two global VAS traffic forwarding options:
•
Enable or disable VAS traffic forwarding
•
Configure the link number on which to transmit VAS traffic (necessary only if the VAS servers are
connected on Link 0, rather than Link 1, which is the default VAS traffic link))
Enabling VAS Traffic Forwarding
By default, VAS traffic forwarding is disabled. If VAS traffic forwarding is required, you must enable it
both from your Cisco SCE device and the SCABB console.
For instructions on how to disable VAS traffic forwarding, see
“Disabling VAS Traffic Forwarding”
.
There are certain other Cisco SCE platform features that are incompatible with VAS traffic forwarding.
Before enabling VAS traffic forwarding, make sure that no incompatible features or modes are
configured.
The features and modes listed below cannot coexist with VAS mode:
•
Line-card connection modes—receive-only, receive-only-cascade, inline-cascade
•
Link mode other than forwarding
•
All link encapsulation protocols, including VLAN, MPLS, L2TP
•
Enhanced open flow mode
Options
The following options are available:
•
Enable/disable—
Enable or disable VAS traffic forwarding
