Overview
Network Management
Cisco provides complete network FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance,
Security) Management.
Two interfaces are provided for network management:
Subscriber Management
In cases where SCE 2000 is used to enforce different policies on different subscribers, and tracks
usage on an individual subscriber basis, the Cisco Service Control Management Suite (SCMS)
Subscriber Manager (SM) may be used as middleware software for bridging between the OSS and
the SCE platforms. Subscriber information is stored in the SM database and can then be
distributed between multiple platforms according to actual subscriber placement.
The SM provides subscriber awareness, mapping network IDs to subscriber IDs. It obtains
subscriber information using dedicated integration modules, which integrate with AAA devices,
such as Radius or DHCP servers.
Subscriber information may be obtained in one of two ways:
Collection
The Cisco Service Control solution generates usage data and statistics from the SCE platform and
forwards them as Raw Data Records (RDRs), using a simple TCP-based protocol (RDR-
Protocol). The Service Control solution provides the Cisco Service Control Management Suite
(SCMS) Collection Manager (CM) software as an implementation of a collection system,
listening in on RDRs from one or more SCE platforms, and processing them on the local machine.
The data is then stored for analysis and reporting functions, as well as simple collection and
presentation of data to additional OSS systems such as billing.
Service Configuration Management
Service configuration management is the ability to configure the general service definitions of a
service control application. A service configuration file containing settings for traffic
classification, accounting & reporting, and control is created and applied to an SCE platform.
SCA BB provides tools to automate the distribution of these configuration files to SCE platforms,
and this simple, standards-based approach makes it easy to manage multiple devices in a large
network.
Service Control provides an easy-to-use GUI to edit and create these files, as well as a complete
set of APIs to automate their creation.

•
Command-Line Interface (CLI)—The CLI is accessible through the Console port or
through a Telnet connection; it is used for configuration and security functions
SNMP—SNMP provides fault management via SNMP traps, as well as performance
•
monitoring functionality
Push Mode—The SM pushes subscriber information to the SCE platform automatically
•
upon logon of a subscriber
Pull Mode—On-demand, in response to a query from the SCE platform to the SM
