1.1 About WiMAX
Emanating from the broadband world and using all-IP architecture, mobile
WiMAX is the leading technology for implementing personal broadband services.
With huge market potential and affordable deployment costs, mobile WiMAX is on
the verge of a major breakthrough. No other technology offers a full set of
chargeable and differentiated voice, data, and premium video services in a variety
of wireless fashions - fixed, portable and mobile - that increase revenue and
reduce subscriber churn.
WiMAX technology is the solution for many types of high-bandwidth applications
at the same time across long distances and will enable service carriers to converge
the all-IP-based network for triple-play services data, voice, and video.
WiMAX with its QoS support, longer reach, and high data capacity is positioned
for fixed broadband access applications in rural areas, particularly when distance
is too large for DSL and cable, as well as in urban/suburban areas of developing
countries. Among applications for residential are high speed Internet, Voice Over
IP telephony and streaming video/online gaming with additional applications for
enterprise such as Video conferencing, Video surveillance and secured Virtual
Private Network (with need for high security). WiMAX technology allows covering
applications with media content requesting more bandwidth.
WiMAX allows portable and mobile access applications, with incorporation in
notebook computers and PDAs, allowing for urban areas and cities to become
“metro zones” for portable and mobile outdoor broadband wireless access. As
such WiMAX is the natural complement to 3G networks by offering higher
bandwidth and to Wi-Fi networks by offering broadband connectivity in larger
areas.
The WiMAX Forum is an organization of leading operators and communications
component and equipment companies. The WiMAX Forum’s charter is to promote
and certify the compatibility and interoperability of broadband wireless access
equipment that conforms to the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) 802.16 and ETSI HiperMAN standards. The ultimate goal of the WiMAX
Forum is to accelerate the introduction of cost-effective broadband wireless access
services into the marketplace. Standards-based, interoperable solutions enable
economies of scale that, in turn, drive price and performance levels unachievable
by proprietary approaches, making WiMAX Forum Certified products.

The various components and entities involved in the networking architecture are:
1.2.2.1 Access Service Network (ASN)
An ASN is defined as a complete set of network functions needed to provide radio
access to a WiMAX subscriber. The ASN provides the following mandatory
functions:
WiMAX Layer-2 (L2) connectivity with WiMAX mobile station (MS)
Transfer of AAA messages to the WiMAX subscriber's home network service
provider (H-NSP) for authentication, authorization and session accounting for
subscriber sessions
Network discovery and selection of the WiMAX subscriber's preferred NSP
Relay functionality for establishing Layer-3 (L3) connectivity with a WiMAX MS
(i.e. IP address allocation)
Radio resource management
ASN-CSN tunneling
ASN anchored mobility

Chapter 1 - System Description 4Motion Solution
4Motion 8 System Manual
An ASN is comprised of network elements such as one or more base transceiver
stations and one or more ASN gateways. An ASN may be shared by more than one
connectivity service network (CSN).
1.2.2.2 Connectivity Service Network (CSN)
A CSN is defined as a set of network functions that provide IP connectivity
services to WiMAX subscribers. A CSN may offer the following functions:
MS IP address and endpoint parameter allocation for user sessions
Internet access
AAA proxy or server
Policy and admission control based on user subscription profiles
ASN-CSN tunneling support
WiMAX subscriber billing and inter-operator settlement
WiMAX services such as location-based services, connectivity for peer-to-peer
services, provisioning, authorization and/or connectivity to IP multimedia
services, and facilities to support lawful intercept services such as those
compliant with Communications Assistance Law Enforcement Act (CALEA)
procedures
A CSN is comprised of network elements such as routers, proxy/servers, user
databases, and inter-working gateway devices.
1.2.2.3 Network Access Provider (NAP)
An NAP is a business entity that provides WiMAX radio access infrastructure to
one or more WiMAX network service providers (NSPs). A NAP implements this
infrastructure using one or more ASNs.
1.2.2.4 Network Service Provider (NSP)
An NSP is a business entity that provides IP connectivity and WiMAX services to
WiMAX subscribers compliant with the established service level agreement. The
NSP concept is an extension of the Internet service provider (ISP) concept,
providing network services beyond Internet access. To provide these services, an
NSP establishes contractual agreements with one or more NAPs. An NSP may also
establish roaming agreements with other NSPs and contractual agreements with
![](/img.php?id=1325752&img=bg33.png)
Chapter 1 - System Description 4Motion Solution
4Motion 9 System Manual
third-party application providers (e.g. ASP, ISP) for the delivery of WiMAX services
to subscribers. From a WiMAX subscriber standpoint, an NSP may be classified as
a home or visited NSP.
1.2.2.5 Base Station (BS)
The WiMAX BS is an entity that implements the WiMAX MAC and PHY in
compliance with the IEEE 802.16e standard. A BS operates on one frequency
assignment, and incorporates scheduler functions for uplink and downlink
resources.
The basic functionality of the BS includes:
IEEE 802.16e OFDMA PHY/MAC entity
R6 and R8 functionality according to NWG definitions
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) relay
Control message authentication
User traffic authentication and encryption
Handover management
QoS service flow management entity
1.2.2.6 ASN Gateway (ASN-GW)
The ASN-GW is a network entity that acts as a gateway between the ASN and
CSN. The ASN functions hosted in an ASN-GW may be viewed as consisting of two
groups - the decision point (DP) and enforcement point (EP). The EP includes
bearer plane functions, and the DP includes non-bearer plane functions.
The basic DP functionality of the ASN-GW includes:
Implementation of EAP Authenticator and AAA client
Termination of RADIUS protocol against the selected CSN AAA server (home or
visited AAA server) for MS authentication and per-MS policy profile retrieval
Storage of the MS policy profile
Generation of authentication key material

QoS service flow authorization entity
AAA accounting client
The basic EP functionality of the ASN-GW includes:
Classification of downlink data into generic routing encapsulation (GRE)
tunnels
Packet header suppression functionality
DHCP functionality
Handover functionality
The WIMAX Forum NWG has adopted two different approaches for ASN
architecture - centralized and distributed: In the centralized approach there is at
least one central ASN-GW, and the NPU operates in transparent mode, as shown
in Figure 1-4.
Figure 1-4: Centralized Network Reference Model
![](/img.php?id=1325752&img=bg35.png)
Chapter 1 - System Description 4Motion Solution
4Motion 11 System Manual
In the distributed approach, the NPU operates in ASN-GW mode, as shown in
Figure 1-5.
Alvarion believes in providing operators with the flexibility to select the mobile
WiMAX network topology that best suits their needs and existing network
architecture. Therefore, 4Motion is designed to support both distributed and
centralized topology approaches according to WiMAX Forum NWG profile C.
1.2.2.7 Reference Points
Reference point R1 consists of the protocols and procedures between the MS
and ASN as per the air-interface (PHY and MAC) specifications (IEEE 802.16e).
Reference point R2 consists of protocols and procedures between the MS and
CSN associated with authentication, services authorization and IP host
configuration management. This reference point is logical in that it does not
reflect a direct protocol interface between the MS and CSN. The authentication
part of reference point R2 runs between the MS and CSN operated by the
home NSP, however, the ASN and CSN operated by the visited NSP may
partially process the aforementioned procedures and mechanisms. Reference
point R2 might support IP host configuration management running between
the MS and CSN (operated by either the home NSP or visited NSP).
Figure 1-5: Distributed Network Reference Model
![](/img.php?id=1325752&img=bg36.png)
Chapter 1 - System Description 4Motion Solution
4Motion 12 System Manual
Reference point R3 consists of the set of control plane protocols between the
ASN and CSN to support AAA, policy enforcement and mobility management
capabilities. It also encompasses the bearer plane methods (e.g. tunneling) to
transfer user data between the ASN and CSN.
Reference point R4 consists of the set of control and bearer plane protocols
originating/terminating in various functional entities of an ASN that
coordinate MS mobility between ASNs and ASN-GWs. R4 is the only
interoperable reference point between similar or heterogeneous ASNs.
Reference point R5 consists of the set of control plane and bearer plane
protocols for internetworking between the CSN operated by the home NSP and
that operated by a visited NSP.
Reference point R6 consists of the set of control and bearer plane protocols
for communication between the BS and ASN-GW. The bearer plane consists of
an intra-ASN data path between the BS and ASN gateway. The control plane
includes protocols for data path establishment, modification and release
control in accordance with the MS mobility events.
Reference point R8 consists of the set of control plane message flows and
optional bearer plane data flows between the base stations to ensure a fast
and seamless handover. The bearer plane consists of protocols that allow data
transfer between base stations involved in the handover of a certain MS.
It is important to note that all reference points are logical and do not necessarily
imply a physical or even direct connection. For instance, the R4 reference point
between ASN-GWs might be implemented across the NAP internal transport IP
network, in which case R4 traffic might traverse several routers from the source to
the destination ASN-GW.

Chapter 1 - System Description The Base Transceiver Station
4Motion 15 System Manual
The six single-Euro slots are intended for one or two redundant Power Interface
Units (PIUs) and up to four redundant Power Supply Units (PSUs). One of the
double Euro slots (Slot 5) is dedicated to the NPU module, with interfaces for
network backhaul, in-band and out-of-band (OOB) management connections.
Another double-Euro slot (Slot 6) is reserved for an optional redundant NPU (the
shelf is HW-ready for NPU redundancy). The remaining seven double-Euro slots
(1-4, 7-9) are dedicated for Access Unit (AU) modules, thereby enabling various
network topologies with up to 6 simultaneously operational AUs, and future
redundancy configurations. In addition, the shelf contains an Air Ventilation Unit
(AVU).
1.3.1.2 NPU
The Network Processing Unit is the controller of the Base Transceiver Station.
Serving as the central processing unit that manages the BTS components, the
NPU aggregates traffic to/from the AU modules, and transfers it to/from the IP
backbone through a dedicated Gigabit/Fast Ethernet interface. In addition, the
NPU can be operated in ASN-GW mode, in which case it also implements ASN-GW
functionality.
When operating in ASN-GW mode, the NPU implements the R3 reference point
toward the CSN, R4 reference point toward other ASN-GWs, and R6 reference
point toward AU/BSs. The R8 reference point traffic is transparently relayed
between AU/BSs (intra- or inter-BTS).
When operating in transparent mode, the NPU transparently relays R6 and R8
reference-point traffic between AU/BSs (intra- or inter-BTS).
The BreezeMAX shelf is hardware-ready for 1+1 NPU card redundancy.
The NPU main functions, when operating in transparent mode, are:
Aggregate backbone Ethernet connectivity for user and control traffic
Aggregate backbone Ethernet connectivity for management traffic (in-band or
out-of-band)

When several shelves are collocated, the NPU cascade interface can be used for
shelf interconnection. In this architecture, the NPU that is directly connected to
the backhaul implements a layer-2 connection toward the NPUs in the cascaded
shelves. Bearer, control and management traffic is sent over the cascade
connection. Synchronization and GPS backup power are sent toward the NPUs in
the cascaded shelves through the GPS/SYNC ports.
GPS synchronization cascading will be implemented in a future release.

components, in order to provide a future-proof solution with excellent cost and
performance.
The AU card interfaces with the NPU card for R6/R8 functionality, as well as
control, synchronization and management between the NPU and AU.
The AU implements four receive and transmit channels, each of them is HW-ready
for up to 20 MHz bandwidth.
1.3.1.4 PIU
The single-Euro Power Interface Unit module serves as the interface between the
DC power source and both the PSU modules and external ODU radio transceivers.
The PIU filters and stabilizes the input power, and protects the system from power
problems such as over-voltage, surge pulses, reverse polarity connection, and
short circuits. It filters high-frequency interference (radiated emissions) and
low-frequency interference (conducted emissions) at the external power source.
Each shelf contains two slots for optional 1+1 PIU redundancy. One PIU is
sufficient to support a fully populated shelf, and two modules provide redundant
power feeding (i.e. from two input sources), while avoiding current flow between
the two input sources.
1.3.1.5 PSU
The single-Euro Power Supply Unit module is a -48 VDC power supply unit that
generates low-voltage DC output to comply with PICMG 2.x standard
requirements. Each shelf can contain up to four PSU modules supporting N+1
redundancy configuration scheme.
Table 1-2 displays the number of PSU modules (excluding redundant units)
required for various Base Station configurations without NPU redundancy (one
NPU):

1.3.1.6 AVU
The 2U-high AVU includes a 1U-high integral chamber for inlet airflow and a
1U-high fan tray with an internal alarm module. To support high availability, the
fan tray includes 10 brushless fans (9 fans are sufficient for cooling a fully-loaded
shelf). Fan failure is indicated by both the front panel LEDs and a trap sent to the
management system. To further support high availability, the chassis may
operate without the hot-swappable fan tray for up to 10 minutes until the AVU is
replaced.
1.3.2 The Macro Outdoor BTS
The Macro Outdoor BTS is a modular scalable and reliable all-outdoor platform
enabling extended and flexible installation capabilities while sustaining all the
features and capabilities of the 4Motion solution.
The All-Outdoor Macro BTS portfolio includes the following system elements:
NAU (Network Access Unit): A full-size enclosure containing NPU and AU
cards.
DAU (Dual Access Unit): A full-size enclosure containing two AU cards.
SAU (Single Access Unit): A half-size enclosure containing one AU card.
The full-size enclosure is similar to the enclosure of the 4x2 ODUs (see
Section 1.3.3), supporting flexible mounting options for system components,
including back-to-back and side-by-side mounting. The units are available with
either full (4-channels) AUs or with 2-channels AUs.
The modular architecture and different unit types enable building a variety of
configurations using up to six AUs with either 2 or 4 channels, addressing a
pay-as-you-grow deployment. The functionality is the same as described for the
NPU (see Section 1.3.1.2) and AU (see Section 1.3.1.3) cards of the Indoor Macro
BTS, with a few minor exceptions.

one or more external antennas. It is designed to provide high system gain and
interference robustness utilizing high transmit power and low noise figure. It is
HW-ready for supporting a bandwidth of up to 20 MHz, enabling future options
such as increased capacity through the use of a multiplexer or wider frequency
channels.
The following ODU port configurations will be available:
1x1(1Rx by 1 Tx): One receive port, one transmit port (one Tx/Rx interface)
2x2 (2Rx by 2Tx): Two receive ports, two transmit ports (two Tx/Rx interfaces)
4x2 (4Rx by 2Tx): Four receive ports, two transmit ports (two Tx/Rx interfaces,
two Rx only interfaces)

1.3.4 Power Feeder
The PIU of the indoor Macro BTS can support a maximum current of 58 A (@-40.5
VDC). In certain installations with a relatively high number of ODUs this current
may not be sufficient to power the shelf and all the ODUs. In such installations
the ODU Power Feeder is used as an additional power source providing power (-48
VDC) to ODUs. It transfers transparently all signals between the AU and the ODU,
while injecting DC power received from an external source. Each ODU Power
Feeder unit can serve up to four ODUs. Up to three ODU Power Feeder units can
be installed in a 1U high Power Feeder panel.

complement the 4Motion solution, Alvarion works closely with several antenna
suppliers to ensure availability of antennas that comply with its requirements.
In cases where the operator prefers other antenna vendors, Alvarion can provide a
recommended antenna specification based on the required antennas types.
For more information on recommended antenna configurations and required
antennas refer to “Antenna Configurations” on page 681.
1.3.6 GPS
GPS is used to synchronize the air link frames of Intra-site and Inter-site located
Base Transceiver Stations to ensure that in all Base Stations the air frame will
start at the same time, and that all Base Stations will switch from transmit
(downlink) to receive (uplink) at the same time. This synchronization is necessary
to prevent Intra-site and Inter-site interference and Base stations saturation
(assuming that all Base Stations are operating with the same frame size and with
the same DL/UL ratio).
In order for the system to be synchronized, the GPS have to first acquire at least 4
satellites. After that the GPS reception can be reduced to 1 satellite.If no satellite
is received the BTS will go to holdover state where internal clock is provided to
synchronize the BTS.
1.3.6.1 Outdoor GPS Receiver
The all-outdoor GPS Receiver is a pole mountable GPS receiver and antenna in a
single environmentally protected enclosure. The GPS Receiver is powered by a 12
VDC power source, supplied to it by the NPU. The RS-422 interface allows
installation at distances up to 100m.

Chapter 2 - Commissioning Initial NPU Configuration
4Motion 54 System Manual
2.1 Initial NPU Configuration
2.1.1 Introduction
After completing the installation process, as described in the preceding chapter,
some basic NPU parameters must be configured locally using the CLI via the MON
port of the NPU.
Refer to “Using the Command Line Interface for Management” on page 68 for
information on how to access the CLI either via the MON port or via Telnet and
how to use it.
The following sections describe the minimum mandatory configuration actions
required to allow remote configuration of the site and to enable discovery by the
EMS system:
1”NPU Local Connectivity”
2”Site Connectivity”
3”Static Route Definition”
4”SNMP Manager Definition”
5”Mapping the AU Software Version”
6”Site ID Definition”
7”Saving the Configuration”
2.1.2 NPU Local Connectivity
Refer to “Accessing the CLI from a Local Terminal” on page 70 for details on
connecting locally to the NPU.
Clear existing site configuration (must be executed for "used” NPUs). Restore to
factory default and reboot using the following command:
npu# restore-factory-default
The system will reset automatically.
2.1.3 Site Connectivity
2.1.3.1 Connectivity Mode
The connectivity mode determines how traffic is to be routed between the NPU and
the BSs, AAA server and external Management System servers.
![](/img.php?id=1325752&img=bg61.png)
Chapter 2 - Commissioning Initial NPU Configuration
4Motion 55 System Manual
The default connectivity mode is In-Band (IB) via the Data port. Alternatively, the
NPU can be managed Out-Of-Band (OOB) via the dedicated Management port.
To view the current and configured connectivity mode, use the command:
npu# show connectivity mode
To change the connectivity mode to Out-Of-Band, use the command:
npu(config)# connectivity mode outband (for details refer to “Configuring the IP
Connectivity Mode” on page 100).
2.1.3.2 VLANs Translation (Outband Connectivity Mode)
When using In-Band connectivity via the Data port, the default VLAN ID for
management packets is 12. The default VLAN ID for data packets is 11. If different
VLAN IDs are used in the backbone, the VLANs should be translated accordingly.
To enable VLAN translation and configure the required VLANs translation, run the
following commands (the examples are for backhaul Data VLAN ID 30 and
Management VLAN ID 31):
1Enable the Data port configuration mode (for details refer to “Enabling the
Interface configuration mode” on page 104):
npu(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/10
2Enable VLAN translation (for details refer to “Enabling/Disabling VLAN
Translation” on page 111): npu(config-if)# vlan mapping enable
3Translate data VLAN 11 to the backhaul data VLAN 30 (for details refer to
“Creating a VLAN Translation Entry” on page 111):
npu(config-if)# vlan mapping 11 30
4Translate management VLAN 12 to the backhaul management VLAN 31:
npu(config-if)# vlan mapping 12 31
5Exit the interface configuration mode: npu(config-if)# exit
6To view the VLAN mapping parameters, run the command:
npu# show interface gigabitethernet 0/10 vlan mapping
2.1.3.3 External Management Interface
To configure the necessary parameters of the External Management interface used
for connectivity with the EMS system, run the following commands:
1Enable the External Management interface configuration mode (for details
refer to “Enabling the Interface configuration mode” on page 104):
npu(config)# interface external-mgmt
(there is no need to shut down the interface for configuring its parameters)
![](/img.php?id=1325752&img=bg62.png)
Chapter 2 - Commissioning Initial NPU Configuration
4Motion 56 System Manual
2Configure the IP address (x.x.x.x) and subnet mask (y.y.y.y). For details refer
to “Assigning an IP address to an interface” on page 121:
npu(config-if)# ip address x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
3Configure the MTU of the interface to 1500 bytes: npu(config-if)# mtu 1500
4Exit the interface configuration mode: npu(config-if)# exit
5Exit the configuration mode: npu(config)# exit
2.1.3.4 Save and Apply Changes in Site Connectivity Configuration
1Save the configuration: npu# write (otherwise, after the next time reset you will
lose the configuration changes).
2If you changed the Connectivity Mode, reset the system to apply the changes:
npu# reset
2.1.4 Static Route Definition
Static Route must be configured whenever the EMS server and the NPU are on
different subnets. For more details refer to “Adding a Static Route” on page 168.
Run the following command: npu(config)# "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x"
(x.x.x.x is the next hop IP address, 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 define the IP address and mask
as “any destination”. Depending on your backhaul network, you may define
different IP address and mask to allow only specific destinations).
2.1.5 SNMP Manager Definition
To define the communities to be used by the SNMP manager, run the command:
npu(config)# snmp-mgr ReadCommunity public ReadWriteCommunity private.
For more details refer to “Adding an SNMP Manager” on page 371.
For proper operation of the manager you should configure also the Trap Manager
parameters and enable sending traps to the defined Trap Manager (this can also
be done later via the management system):
1npu(config)# trap-mgr ip-source x.x.x.x port 162 TrapCommunity public
( x.x.x.x is the IP address of the EMS server). For more details refer to
“Adding/Modifying a Trap Manager entry” on page 374
2npu(config)# trap-mgr enable ip-source x.x.x.x
Note that if the management system is behind a NAT router, the NAT Outside IP
address (the IP of the router’s interface connected in the direction of the managed
device LAN) must be defined in the device as a Trap Manager, with traps sending
enabled. In the NAT router, Port Forwarding (NAT Traversal) must be configured
![](/img.php?id=1325752&img=bg63.png)
Chapter 2 - Commissioning Initial NPU Configuration
4Motion 57 System Manual
for UDP and TCP ports 161 and 162 from Outside IP (connected to the managed
device’s LAN) to Inside IP (connected to the management system’s LAN).
2.1.6 Mapping the AU Software Version
To define the software version to be used by all AUs run the command:
npu(config)# map au default <image name>, where image name is the required AU
software version (to view the AU software versions available in the NPU run the
command npu# show au image repository).
2.1.7 Site ID Definition
To define the site ID (Site Number): npu(config)# site identifier x
(x is the unique site identifier, a number in the range from 1 to 999999)
For more details refer to “Configuring the Unique Identifier for the 4Motion Shelf”
on page 410.
2.1.8 Saving the Configuration

3.1.5.5 Privilege Levels
All commands that can be executed using the CLI are assigned privilege levels
between 0 and 10, where 0 is the lowest, and 10 is the highest. In addition, each
user is assigned a privilege level; the user can access only those commands for
which the privilege level is the same or lower than the user’s privilege level.
The default user, admin, is assigned privilege level 10. However, if you are logging
in as admin, you can execute certain additional commands for managing users
and enabling passwords for privilege levels. For more information about managing
users and privileges, refer to Section 3.1.6.
3.1.6 Managing Users and Privileges
To enable multi-level access to the CLI, you can create and manage multiple
users, and assign privilege levels for each user. The privilege level determines
whether a user is authorized to execute a particular command. The privilege level
is pre-configured for each command, and can be between 0 and 10, where 0 is the
lowest and 10 is the highest. The user can execute all commands for which the
privilege level is equal to or lower than the default privilege level assigned to the
user.
You can also configure passwords for each privilege level. Users with lower
privilege levels can enter this password to enable higher privilege levels.
This section describes the commands for:
“Managing Users” on page 79
“Managing Privileges” on page 81
“Enabling/Disabling Higher Privilege Levels” on page 83
“Displaying Active Users” on page 85

“Displaying the Privilege Level” on page 86
IMPORTANT
By default, the privilege level of users logging in with admin privileges is 10. However, the admin
user can execute some additional commands for adding users and enabling passwords for different
privilege levels.

The following are the various types of traffic originating or terminating from/to the
NPU:
Subscriber data flows
ASN/CSN control messages
Network Management System (NMS) traffic (external management traffic)
Local management traffic
Internal management traffic
AU maintenance traffic
4Motion has defined separate IP domains for each traffic type:
Bearer IP domain: Enables connectivity between ASN-GW, Base Station (BS),
AAA server and the Home Agent (HA) for managing transport for subscriber
data and the ASN/CSN control traffic.
NMS IP domain (external management IP domain): Defines the connectivity
between NMS agent of the NPU and external NMS server.
Local management IP domain: Defines the connectivity between the NMS
agent of NPU and IP-based local craft terminal.
Internal management IP domain: Enables connectivity between the NPU NMS
agent and management agents for the AU cards.
Subscriber IP domain: NPU supports subscriber IP domain through multiple
VLAN service interfaces.
AU maintenance IP domain: Defines the connectivity between the service
interface of the AU and an external server.
![](/img.php?id=1325752&img=bg8d.png)
Chapter 3 - Operation and Administration Using the CLI NPU Configuration
4Motion 99 System Manual
To enable separation of the bearer IP and NMS IP domains, the following
(user-configurable) connectivity modes are defined:
Out-of-band connectivity mode: In this connectivity mode, the bearer and
external NMS IP domains are separated at the Ethernet interface. The DATA
port and bearer VLAN is used for the bearer IP domain, and the MGMT port
and external-management VLAN is used for external NMS connectivity.
In-band connectivity mode: In this connectivity mode, the VLAN is used to
differentiate between the bearer and external NMS IP domains on the DATA
port. The bearer VLAN is used for the bearer IP domain and the
external-management VLAN is used for the external NMS IP domain. The
MGMT port is assigned to the local-management VLAN in this connectivity
mode.
Unified connectivity mode: In this connectivity mode, the bearer IP domain
and external NMS IP domain are unified. That is, the same IP address and
VLAN are used to connect to the NMS server, AAA server, HA, and BS. (The
MGMT port is assigned to the local-management VLAN in this connectivity
mode.
For more information about the VLANs that are configured for 4Motion, refer the
section, “Configuring Physical and IP Interfaces” on page 101.
The following table lists the physical interface and VLAN configuration of bearer,
local-management, and external-management IP domains with respect to the
connectivity mode:
IMPORTANT
For all connectivity modes, the CSCD and MGMT ports operate in VLAN-transparent bridging mode
(untagged access mode). The assigned VLANs are used only for internal communication.
For all connectivity modes, the DATA port operates in VLAN-aware bridging mode (tagged-trung
mode).
IMPORTANT
In addition to the bearer IP domain, local-mangement IP domain, and external-management IP
domain, each NPU has an internal NMS IP domain. The internal NMS IP domain is used for
separating the IP domain for management traffic between the BS and NPU card.
In addition, the DATA port is assigned also to AU maintenance VLAN. AU maintenance IP domain is
used for separating the IP domain for maintenance (upload of maintenance reports) traffic between
the AUs’ service interfaces and external server.

of two or more 4Motion chassis. (Concatenation is not supported in the
current release.)
MGMT port: A Fast Ethernet interface that provides a dedicated Ethernet
interface for external EMS server connectivity. In some configurations the
MGMT port is used for connecting the local NMS server (IP-based craft
terminal).
You can configure the speed, duplex, and MTU for these interfaces. For the DATA
port, you can also configure VLAN translation (mapping).
Based on the connectivity mode, 4Motion initializes the following pre-configured
IP interfaces:
Local-management: Used for enabling connectivity with the local NMS server
that is connected via the MGMT port when 4Motion is operating in the in-band
connectivity mode; or via CSCD port when 4Motion is operating in the
out-of-band connectivity mode. The IP address used for the local-management
interface is intended for "back-to-back" connection between NPU and Local
NMS Server.
Internal-management: Used for enabling the NMS connectivity between the AU
and NPU. This interface is used internally by 4Motion and is not reachable
from user-visible ports. The IP address and VLAN identifier used for the
internal-management interface are not user-configurable.
External-management: Used for enabling connectivity with the NMS server
that is connected via the DATA port when 4Motion is operating in the in-band
connectivity mode, or via MGMT port when 4Motion is operating in the
out-of-band connectivity mode.
Bearer: Used for enabling bearer IP domain connectivity. When the Unified
connectivity mode is selected, the NMS server is also connected using bearer
interface.
In addition, AU maintenance interfaces enabling the AU maintenance IP domain
connectivity for maintenance traffic between the AUs service interfaces and an
external server. For more details refer to Section 3.3.3.
You can configure the IP address and MTU for bearer, external-management and
local-management interfaces. You can also modify the VLAN ID for bearer and
external-management interfaces. The following table lists the default VLAN IDs
assigned to pre-configured IP interfaces.

The NPU boot mode refers to the mode of operation to be used for operating the
NPU. You can configure the NPU to be operated in any of the following boot
modes:
ASN-GW mode: In this mode, the NPU implements ASN-GW functionalities,
that is, it implements R3 Reference Point (RP) towards the CSN, R4 reference
point toward other ASN-GWs, and R6 reference point toward AU/BSs. The R8
reference point traffic is transparently relayed between AU/BSs (intra- or
inter-shelf). The ASN-GW mode operates:
»With HA support, that is, the NPU implements Mobile IP services (MIP) Not
supported in the current release.
»Without HA support, that is, the NPU does not implement MIP services

3.3.4.1 Configuring the Next Boot Mode
The next boot mode refers to the boot mode that should be used for booting up the
NPU the next time it is shut down or reset. The default boot mode is the ASN-GW
mode without HA support.
The following are the possible boot modes for operating the NPU:
ASN-GW mode without HA support (does not implement MIP services)
Transparent mode
To configure the next boot mode, run the following command:
npu(config)# nextbootmode {asngwStatic | transparent}
NOTE
To view the NPU current and next boot mode, refer to “Displaying the Current and Next Boot
Mode Information” on page 133.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that you run this command to specify the boot mode to be used after the next
NPU reset. If you do not specify the next boot mode, the NPU boots up using the last configured
boot mode. You must save the configuration (run the command npu# write) for a change in boot
mode to take effect after next reset.

resides in the NPU flash. When you start 4Motion for the first time after
installation, the system boots up with the factory default configuration. After the
system boots up, you can use the CLI to modify the values of parameters (for
which default values exist), and specify values for the remaining parameters.
You can also download the configuration file from an external TFTP server, and
use the configuration parameters in this file to boot up the 4Motion system. In
addition, you can batch-process commands.
It is recommended that you make periodic backups of the configuration file. You
can either manually make a backup of this file or configure the system to
automatically make a daily backup. You can, at any time, restore the
configuration specified in the backup file or the factory default configuration.
This section describes the commands for:
“Saving the Current Configuration” on page 135

IMPORTANT
You can, at any time, restore factory default configuration parameters. If you have not saved
configuration since the first time the system was started (after installation), the system boots up with
the factory default parameters at the next system reset.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that you periodically save changes to configuration. (The saved configuration is
written to a file that resides in the NPU flash.) If you have modified any configuration parameters at
runtime, it is recommended that you save configuration before resetting/shutting down 4Motion.
Unsaved configuration is lost after system reset or shut down.

3.3.5.1 Saving the Current Configuration
When you reset the 4Motion system, it always boots up using the last saved
configuration. If you are starting 4Motion for the first time after installation and
commissioning, it boots up using the factory default configuration. Thereafter,
any changes to configuration (made at runtime using the CLI) should be saved; all
unsaved changes are lost after system reset.
Run the following command to save the current configuration:
npu# write
The next time you reset the system, it boots up with the last saved configuration.
3.3.5.2 Downloading a Configuration File/Vendor Startup File from
an External Server
IMPORTANT
You can, at any time, revert to the factory default configuration. For more information about
restoring factory default configuration, refer to Section 3.3.5.4.6. If you do not save
configuration after first time start up of 4Motion, it boots up with the factory default configuration the
next time the system is reset.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that you save the current configuration before shutting down or resetting the
system. The last saved configuration is used during system startup. Unsaved configuration is lost
after system reset/shutdown. For more information about shutting down/resetting the system, refer
to Section 3.2.

You can download a file from an external server, and use this file for booting up
4Motion. After downloading this file, reset the system. The system boots up with
the downloaded configuration.
In addition to the regular Operator configuration file (typically a backup file
previously uploaded from either the same or another BTS), this command can also
be used to download a Vendor Startup file supplied by the vendor that contains
parameters that can be configured only by the vendor.
The default name of the Vendor Startup file is vendor_startup.xml.gz.
Run the following command to download the configuration/vendor file from an
external server:
npu# configfile download tftp://<ip-address>/<filename>
Reset 4Motion after you run this command. The system boots up with the
downloaded configuration. To reset the system, run the following command:
npu(config)# reset
For more information about resetting 4Motion, refer to Section 3.2.2.1.
IMPORTANT
As soon as the system boots up with the downloaded configuration, the downloaded configuration
file is deleted from the NPU flash. The system continues to operate using the downloaded
configuration until the next system reset. After the system is reset, it boots up using the last saved
configuration. To ensure that the downloaded configuration is used to boot up the system after
reset, save the downloaded configuration using the following command:
npu# write
For more information about saving configuration, refer to Section 3.3.5.1.
NOTE
An error may occur if:
The file to be downloaded is not present in the appropriate path on the TFTP server.

or Denial of Service (DoS) attacks because packets that exceed an allowed rate are
dropped and not queued to the NPU.
The default rate limits that are preconfigured in the device provide all the functionality necessary for
proper operation of the system.

Management traffic
To define QoS marking for traffic generated by NPU, you are required to configure:
Class-maps: Define the DSCP and/or VLAN priority bits to be applied for
signaling and management traffic originating from the NPU.
QoS classification rules: Classify packets into flows, based on the IP address of
the host interface, transport protocol, and the source port number of the
application traffic. A class-map can be associated with each flow to define

npu(config)# class-map <class-map-number(1-65535)>
If you run the above command to create a new QoS class-map, the configuration
mode for this QoS class-map is automatically enabled.
By default, class-maps 1-8 are pre-configured. Refer to Table 3-15 for details on
these class-maps and the QoS classification rules to which they are associated.
After you enable the QoS class-map configuration mode, you can:
Configure the 802.1p VLAN priority and/or DSCP for this class-map (refer to
Section 3.3.8.1.2).
Delete the 802.1p VLAN priority and/or DSCP for this QoS class-map (refer to
Section 3.3.8.1.3).
Terminate the QoS class-map configuration mode (refer to Section 3.3.8.1.4).
IMPORTANT
If you want to modify the 802.1p VLAN priority and/or DSCP values for a class-map that is already
associated with a QoS classification rule, first disable the QoS classification rule. For more
information about disabling QoS classification rules, refer to Section 3.3.8.3.
NOTE
The QoS class-map number is used to reference the QoS class-map that you want to associate with
a QoS classification rule, which defines the classification rule to be applied for host-originating
traffic. For more information about creating QoS classification rules, refer Section 3.3.8.2.
