Using cnMaestro to Configure ePMP SM Service Levels

This post shows how cnMaestro can be used to configure different tiers of service for ePMP subscribers.

The following steps show how to create a template that defines the following three tiers of service across all ePMP APs in the network utilizing the ePMP MIR feature.

WARNING:  Make sure to use ePMP version 2.6.1 (or newer).

Default Service                 1M down             1M up

Gold Service                      20M down          10M up

Silver Service                     10M down          3M up

Bronze Service                  5M down             1M up

In cnMaestro, navigate to Configure --> Templates.  Click on “Add New Template”.  Complete the pop-up form as shown below.  Paste the following JSON text in the “configuration text” window.  Click SAVE.

{

    "device_props": {

        "wirelessMIREnable": "1",

        "wirelessMIRProfileTable": [

            {

                "wirelessMIRProfileNumber": "0",

                "wirelessMIRProfileDescription": "default",

                "wirelessDLMIR": "1000",

                "wirelessULMIR": "1000"

            },

            {

                "wirelessMIRProfileNumber": "1",

                "wirelessMIRProfileDescription": "Gold_Service",

                "wirelessDLMIR": "20000",

                "wirelessULMIR": "10000"

            },

            {

                "wirelessMIRProfileNumber": "2",

                "wirelessMIRProfileDescription": "Silver_Serivce",

                "wirelessDLMIR": "10000",

                "wirelessULMIR": "3000"

            },

                                             {

                "wirelessMIRProfileNumber": "3",

                "wirelessMIRProfileDescription": "Bronze_Serivce",

                "wirelessDLMIR": "5000",

                "wirelessULMIR": "1000"

            }

        ]

    }

}

To create the configuration templates to set the service level on ePMP SMs, follow the steps below for each service tier, Gold, Silver and Bronze templates.

For the Gold service configuration template, use the following JSON text and info as shown in the screenshot below.

{

    "device_props": {

        "wirelessMIRSTAProfileNumber": "1"

    }

}

For the Silver service configuration template, use the following JSON text and info as shown in the screenshot below.

{

    "device_props": {

        "wirelessMIRSTAProfileNumber": "2"

    }

For the Bronze service configuration template, use the following JSON text and info as shown in the screenshot below.

{

    "device_props": {

        "wirelessMIRSTAProfileNumber": "3"

    }

Configure the ePMP APs with the three service level definitions.  Now, click on Configure --> Devices.  Click on an individual ePMP AP in the device tree.  Otherwise, click on a tower, network or system and select “ePMP (Sectors)” as the Device Type.  Click on the ePMP APs that you would like to apply this configuration setting to.  Select the template you just created, “ePMP AP – MIR Service Settings”.  Then click on “Add to Configuration Jobs”.  Next, click on the “Active Jobs” tab and start the configuration job.

From now on, to set the service level for an individual ePMP SM, click on the SM in the device tree (while in the Configure --> Devices view).  Select one of the templates you just created (Gold, Silver, Bronze service).  Click “Add to Configuration Jobs” and start the job from the “Active Jobs” queue.
