Creating a Virtual Router for the CMTS Device with SDX Admin

You need to add a virtual router object called default to the CMTS device. To add a virtual router with SDX Admin:

  1. In the navigation pane, right-click on the CMTS device.
  2. Select New > VirtualRouter.

The New EdgeDevice dialog box appears.

  1. In the New VirtualRouter dialog box, enter the name default, and click OK.

The default virtual router appears in the navigation pane, and information about the virtual router appears in the VirtualRouter pane.

  1. Configure virtual router parameters in the Main Tab. See Configuration Parameters for Virtual Routers.
  2. Select the SAE Connection tab of the VirtualRouter pane, and add SAEs that are connected to the CMTS device. This list becomes the community of SAEs.

To add an SAE:

  1. Type the IP address of the SAE in the field below the Connected SAE box.
  2. Click Add.
  1. Click Save in the VirtualRouter pane.

Configuration Parameters for Virtual Routers

Use the fields in this section to define virtual router objects. If you are using assigned IP subscribers along with the NIC, you need to configure either a local or static address pool so that the NIC can resolve the IP-to-SAE mapping.

SNMP Read Community

SNMP Write Community

Scope

Local Address Pools

The IP pool syntax has the following format:

([<ipAddressStart> <ipAddressEnd>] |
{<ipBaseAddress>/(<mask> | <digitNumber>)(,<ipAddressExclude>)*})

where:

You can use spaces in the syntax only to separate the first and last explicit IP addresses in a range.

Static Address Pools

Managing SAE IOR

Tracking Plug-in

Configuring SAE Communities

You define SAE communities by entering the SAEs in a community in the connected SAE field of the virtual router object.

When you modify a community, wait for passive session stores on the new community members to be updated before you shut down the current active SAE. Otherwise, if you add a new member to a community, and then a failover from the current active SAE to the new member is triggered immediately, the new member's session store may not have received all data from the active SAE's session store.

To define a community, select the SAE Connection tab of the VirtualRouter pane, and add the addresses of SAEs that can manage this CMTS device.

To add an SAE:

  1. Type the IP address of the SAE in the field below the Connected SAE box.
  2. Click Add.

To modify an SAE address:

  1. Double-click the IP address of the SAE in the Connected SAE box.
  2. Modify the IP address in the field below the Connected SAE box.
  3. Click Modify.

To delete an SAE address:

  1. Double-click the IP address of the SAE in the Connected SAE box.
  2. Remove the IP address from the field below the Connected SAE box.
  3. Click Delete.
