After you have logged into the EPAP user interface with the epapconfig user name, the menu appears that corresponds to that user login name. Before going into the details about the Configuration Menu, you need to know a few things about the Menu Format, Prompts and Default Values, and Error Message Format, which are covered next.

Menu Format

The configuration menu has a header format displaying specific information. On the first line, it indicates the MPS Side A or B, with which you are active. On the same line, you are shown the hostname and hostid. The second and third lines show the Platform Version, followed by the Software Version. The last line displays the date and time. Figure 5-1 shows a sample configuration header format.

Figure 5-1 Configuration Menu Header Format

When you are shown a menu, choose a menu item by entering the number of the item (or e for Exit) in response to the Enter Choice prompt that follows the menu. Press Return to enter your choice.

When you choose a menu item, the user interface performs the requested operation. The operation and any associated output for each menu item are described in detail later in this section.

If you enter an invalid choice (such as a letter or a number that is not available for that menu), an error appears. Perform the corrective action described for that error.

The Configure Network Interfaces Menu option 2 of the Configuration Menu displays the submenu shown in Figure 5-7. It supports the configuration of all the network interfaces for the EPAP.

Figure 5-7 Configure Network Interfaces Menu

Configure Provisioning Network

The Configure Provisioning Network option 1 of the Configure Network Interfaces Menu configures the EPAP provisioning network. With EPAP 16.1, the user is able to configure an IP address, net mask, and default router IP address when using an IPv4 address, and an IP address, Prefix and default router when using an IPv6 address. This information allows the EPAP to communicate with an existing customer network.

Note:

127.0.0.1 is not a valid IP address for this operation. 0.0.0.0 is a valid IP address and can be used to reset the VIP/backup provisioning IP address.

Note:

You must configure these IP addresses. Obtain the values for the IP address, netmask, and default router from the customer’s Information Services department. Record the values in the four tables in Required Network Address Information.

In response to each prompt, you can enter a dotted decimal IP address or press Return to leave the current value unchanged. The current value is shown in brackets after the prompt text. See Figure 5-8 for the option 1 configuration.

Figure 5-8 Configure Provisioning Network Menu

Note:

Take care in configuring the IP information. Incorrect information can prevent the EPAP from accepting provisioning data and establishing remote EPAP user interface connections over the customer network.

Configure DSM Network

The Configure DSM Network option 3 of the Configure Network Interfaces Menu prompts you for the EPAP DSM network IP addresses. This information allows the EPAP to communicate with the main and backup DSM networks.

Note:

127.0.0.1 is not a valid IP address for this operation. 0.0.0.0 is a valid IP address and can be used to reset the VIP/backup provisioning IP address.

Note:

Unless there is a known network address conflict, the installer can bypass option 3.

Note:

It is strongly advised not to change the DSM network subnet (IP addresses), if not absolutely necessary.

In response to each prompt, you can enter a dotted decimal IP address or press Return to leave the current value unchanged (the current value is shown in brackets after the prompt text).

See Network Connections for a description of EPAP network IP address assignments. See Figure 5-9 for the option 3 output.

Figure 5-9 Configure DSM Network

Note:

Take care in configuring the IP information. Incorrect information will prevent the EPAP from communicating with the EAGLE.

Configure Backup Provisioning Network

The Configure Backup Provisioning Network option 4 of the Configure Network Interfaces Menu prompts you for the EPAP Backup Provisioning Network IP addresses. This information allows the EPAP to communicate with the backup provisioning network. With EPAP 16., the user is able to configure an IP address, net mask, and default router IP address when using an IPv4 address, and an IP address, Prefix and default router when using an IPv6 address. In response to each prompt, enter a dotted decimal IP address.

See Network Connections for a description of EPAP network IP address assignments. See Figure 5-10 for the option 4 output.

Figure 5-10 Configure Backup Provisioning Network

Note:

127.0.0.1 is not a valid IP address for this operation. 0.0.0.0 is a valid IP address and can be used to reset the VIP/backup provisioning IP address.

Note:

Take care in configuring the IP information. Incorrect information will prevent the EPAP from communicating with the Backup Provisioning Network.

Configure Static NAT Addresses

The Configure Static NAT Addresses option 6 from the Configure Network Interfaces Menu provides the functionality to configure the static NAT addresses of the EPAP.

Note:

Only IPv4 is supported with Static NAT addresses.

Each numbered item of the Configure Static NAT Addresses menu allows the user to specify an IP Address used outside of the firewall for remote access to the MPS. The following Figure 5-11 shows an example of a resulting prompt.

Note:

127.0.0.1 is not a valid IP address for this operation. 0.0.0.0 is a valid IP address and can be used to reset the VIP/backup provisioning IP address.

Figure 5-11 Configuring NAT Addresses Prompt

Configure Provisioning VIP Addresses

The Configure Provisioning VIP Addresses option 7 from the Configure Network Interfaces Menu provides the functionality to configure the PDBA Proxy feature.

The user must enter the VIP address for the local PDBA (MPS-A) and the remote PDBA using either an IPv4 or IPv6 address. The following figure shows an example of the option 7 output.

Figure 5-12 Configure Provisioning VIP Address

Note:

127.0.0.1 is not a valid IP address for this operation. 0.0.0.0 is a valid IP address and can be used to reset the VIP/backup provisioning IP address.

The Select Time Zone option 3 prompts you for the time zone to be used by the EPAP. The time zone can be the zone where the EPAP is located, Greenwich Mean Time, or another zone that is selected by the customer to meet the needs of the system.

To select a file in one of the subdirectories, enter a relative path name (such as “US/Eastern”) in response to the prompt. See List of Time Zones for the option 3 output.

You must enter a valid UNIX time zone file name. Alternatively, to display a complete list of the valid time zones, simply press Return in response to the prompt and all valid time zone names are displayed. See List of Time Zones for the list that appears when you press the Return key or enter invalid time zone file name.

The time zone change does not take effect until the next time the MPS is rebooted. The Reboot MPS menu is described in Reboot the MPS.

The Exchange Secure Shell Keys option 4 accesses the Exchange Secure Shell Keys menu. This menu is used to enable connections between local and remote EPAPs. The EPAPs exchange encryption keys are required to run the secure shell.

The exchange normally occurs automatically during EPAP initialization. Use this menu item only if the exchange must be performed manually.

See Figure 5-13 for the option 4 output.

Figure 5-13 Exchange Secure Shell Keys Menu

Option 1 is used for the initial configuration. Option 2 is used to do a reload of the RTDB from the remote server. Option 3 is required before using the PDBA Proxy feature. Before doing a reload from the remote server, you must exchange keys with the remote server. The sub menu "Exchange Keys with Remote" allows the user to exchange keys with the remote server. The remote server IP will be either IPv4 or IPv6.

The epapconfig user must know the password for the epapdev@mate. The notification “ssh is working correctly” in the following figure confirms the “ssh” (i.e., secure shell) exchange of keys has completed successfully.

See Figure 5-14 for the Option 1 output.

Figure 5-14 Exchange Secure Shell Keys Output

The Change Password option 5 changes the text-based user interface password for the epapconfig login name for both MPS A and B.

See Figure 5-15 for the option 5 output.

The PDB Configuration Menu option 8 supports configuring the PDB network, homing of the RTDBs, changing the MPS provisionable status, creating the PDB, and enabling the Automated Database Recovery and PDBA Proxy features. Beginning with EPAP 16.1, the user is able to configure both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for a PDB address. See Figure 5-19 for the option 8 output.

Figure 5-19 Configure PDB Menu

RTDB Homing Menu

The RTDB Homing Menu option 2 of the Configure PDB Menu provides a menu to configure specific and active homing of RTDBs to the PDBAs. For more information about active and specific homing, refer to Selective Homing of EPAP RTDBs. Figure 5-20 shows the option 2 output.

Figure 5-20 RTDB Homing Menu

Configure Specific RTDB Homing

The Configure Specific RTDB Homing option 1 of the RTDB Homing Menu sets the RTDB homing policy to specific and configures the address of the preferred PDB.

This configuration cannot be completed until the PDB network has been configured. See Configure PDB Network. Provisionable sites indicate the address of the local PDB with the text (local) and that site is the default value for the preferred PDB.

The text-based User Interface prompts for the preferred PDB. When the choice is selected, the text confirms the choice and identifies the selection is 'specific' homing. When the EPAP is configured in a dual stack configuration, the PDBA also has both the IPs, one in IPv4 format and the other in IPv6 format. By default, the RTDB Homing Policy is set to the PDBA IPv6 IP. If the user wants to change the RTDB homing policy to the PDBA IPv4 IP, then the Configure Specific RTDB Homing menu option must be used.

Mate Disaster Recovery, menu option 15, performs disaster recovery on Mixed/Non-prov EPAP. Choosing this option allows for the entire disaster recovery process to be an authenticated procedure. Instead of re-installing the EPAP on both servers and redoing the configuration steps, the EPAP user is able to IPM only the bad server, install EPAP on it, and perform disaster recovery from the mate.

In the default "Compact" DB Architecture, the EPAP will run the version of RTDB and MAINT processes that are compatible with EAGLE 46.5 and 46.6.

Changing the DB Architecture from "Compact" to "eXtreme" requires the EPAP software to restart and run a new version of RTDB and MAINT process to support the capacity expansion. The connecting EAGLE must upgrade to the new release with SLIC cards running 64-bit SCCP applications in order to support this DB schema before the change. SM8G-B cards are not supported in the "eXtreme" DB architecture.

• The initial configuration steps assume that each MPS has previously undergone successful Initial Platform Manufacture (IPM).

• The network path must be present and verified before the MPS servers are ready for EPAP configuration.

• Initial configuration can be implemented on only the MPS A side of EAGLE A and MPS A side of EAGLE B. Attempting to perform initial configuration on MPS B of EAGLE A is not allowed, and the epapconfig user will be notified. The attempted configuration will be aborted with no impact on either MPS A or B.

  After the initial configuration of MPS A on EAGLE A and MPS A on EAGLE B, both EPAPs should be operational unless the system failed to successfully initialize during reboot or the configured values for the Sync and/or DSM networks conflict with other equipment in the network. Tekelec recommends that you do not change the default network values.

• The provisioning values displayed for the following initialization and configuration steps are example values only.

• Default values can be accepted just by pressing the Return key at the prompt; default values are shown enclosed in brackets [ ].

• It is the customer's decision about the timing and frequency of performing a back-up of his databases. Of course, databases should be backed up when they are initially populated with data; however, the priority that the customer assigns to data and time lost in restoring it will dictate the frequency of database back-up.

• Adding an NTP server is optional. Additionally, only one NTP server is needed to provide time synchronization for all the MPS servers on both EAGLE pairs. Up to 3 external servers are supported.

• The EPAP terms 'local' and 'remote' are relative with respect to the EPAP configuration software. In other words, if the installer is running the configuration software on the physical MPS (that is, the MPS that the installer is physically on-site and has his terminal connected to), the configuration software refers to that MPS as 'local'. However if the installer connects through the network into the MPS A on EAGLE B, the configuration software executing at EAGLE B sees itself as 'local', referring to MPS that the installer is physically connected to as the 'remote'.

  Remember that the 'local' MPS is whichever MPS A that the configuration software is being executed on, regardless of where the user is physically located.

  The MPS of EAGLE A is the first MPS to which the installer physically connects and on which initial configuration of the EPAPs is always begun.

  To avoid confusion of these relative terms, the MPS A on EAGLE A is considered to be the on-site MPS to which the installer has the physical connection. This document refers to the MPS to which the installer does not have the physical connection as MPS A on EAGLE B.

During the Configuration Procedure, the installer will initialize and configure the MPSs to perform various functions. Special instructions are required occasionally for an MPS on EAGLE A, an MPS on EAGLE B, or a non-provisionable MPS. To assist the installer, this manual uses these notations to indicate individual instructions to be performed for those specific MPSs.

Installation personnel may choose to employ various methods for connecting to an MPS. The EPAP software requires that an MPS be configured from side A. Refer to Application B Card Hardware and Installation Guide for the correct installation procedure.

1. Log in as epapconfig.
   A Caution notice is displayed. Evaluate the conditions listed.

   
   mpsa-f0c7c3 console login: epapconfig

            have unpredictable results.
            
                1. The mate MPS servers (MPS A and MPS B) must be powered on.
                2. "Initial Platform Manufacture" for the mate MPS servers
                   must be complete.
                3. The sync network between the mate MPS servers must be
                   operational.
                4. You must have the correct password for the EPAPdev user on
                   the mate MPS server.
                5. You must be prepared to designate this MPS as provisionable
                   or non-provisionable.
   Press return to continue…
   

2. After all conditions of the Caution notice are satisfied, press Return to continue.

   After pressing Return to continue, you can abort or proceed with the initial configuration.

3. To continue with the configuration, enter y.

   B: MPS on EAGLE B:

   The configuration software is now being executed on the MPSs on EAGLE B. While the MPSs on EAGLE B were formerly referred to as remote, the configuration software now considers the same MPS pair now to be local. For more information, refer to Configuration Terms and Assumptions.

4. Declare whether the MPS is provisionable or non-provisionable.
   This example shows this MPS as a provisionable MPS.

   A: MPS on EAGLE A:

   Answer y in this step.

   B: MPS on EAGLE B:

   Answer y in this step.

   N: Non-Provisionable MPS:

   Answer n in this step.

   
   The provisioning architecture of the EPAP software allows for exactly 2 customer provisionable sites.  Additional sites that are to receive the data provisioned to the provisionable sites should answer 'N' here.
   If there are only 2 mated sites, it is safe to answer 'Y' here.
   Is this site provisionable? [Y]: y
   

5. When prompted, enter the epapdev user password on the mate MPS server in order to confirm the secure shell keys are successfully exchanged.
   This example shows the output generated when the correct password is entered, the secure shell keys are successfully exchanged, and the UI database is set up on MPS A and MPS B at this site.

    This menu selection prompts you for all information necessary to set up a second interface for the customer’s Provisioning Network.

    Note:

    127.0.0.1 is not a valid IP address for this operation. 0.0.0.0 is a valid IP address and can be used to reset the VIP/backup provisioning IP address.
    The address information should be received from the customer for the MPS. Refer to the information recorded in Table 5-1 through Table 5-4 for the correct addresses.
    The IP address for this interface must be on a different class C subnet than the primary Provisioning Network address. You must set up a second default router address to coincide with the Backup Provisioning Network. There are no default values for any of these fields. The customer must supply all the information. The Backup Provisioning Network cannot be configured using the platcfg utility.

    Enter Choice: 1
    

    Refer to Table 5-1 through Table 5-4 for the information required to configure the PDB Network.

    Note:

    127.0.0.1 is not a valid IP address for this operation. 0.0.0.0 is a valid IP address and can be used to reset the VIP/backup provisioning IP address.
    • Only for provisionable MPSs (MPS of EAGLE A or MPS of EAGLE B):

      A: MPS on EAGLE A:

      You must have the IP address for the MPS A of EAGLE B (recorded in Table 5-2 ).

      B: MPS on EAGLE B:

      You must have the IP address for the MPS A of EAGLE A (recorded in Table 5-1 ).

      Option 1 requires you to provide the IP address of the MPS A on EAGLE A and the IP address for the MPS A on EAGLE B where the remote PDBA database is to reside. (See the following NOTE about the use of ‘local’ and ‘remote’.)

      You must enter the password for MPS A on EAGLE B. If configuration of the PDB network is successful, the output confirms the secure shell keys are exchanged.

      If you configure the PDBA Proxy feature, the IP address for MPS B (mate non-provisionable MPS) on EAGLE B is required.

      Note:

      References to 'local' and 'remote,' by the software configuration, are relative to the MPS that is actively executing the configuration software.

      This MPS is configured to be provisionable.  The EPAP local PDBA address is 192.168.61.84. EPAP software and PDBA are running. Stop Them?

      Upon pressing Return, you are returned to the Configure PDB Menu. If you are configuring only provisionable MPSs, proceed to 44.

    • Only for non-provisionable MPSs:

      N: Non-Provisionable MPS:

      You must have the IP addresses for the MPS A of EAGLE A and MPS A of EAGLE B (recorded in Table 5-1 and Table 5-2 ).

      Option 1 requires you to provide the IP addresses for the MPS A on EAGLE A and the MPS A on EAGLE B, as shown in the output for non-provisionable MPSs.

      
      This MPS is configured to be non-provisionable.  You will be prompted for both of the remote PDB addresses.  Order does not matter.
      
      EPAP software and PDBA are running. Stop Them? [N] y
      
      Enter one of the two PDBA addresses: 192.168.61.84
      Enter the other of the two PDBA address: 192.168.61.86
      
      Press return to continue...
      

      After pressing Return, you are returned to the Configure PDB Menu.

    Note:

    The default homing policy for a pair of provisionable MPSs is specific homing to the local PDB. If you do not want to configure active/standby homing, skip option2,RTDB Homing Menu, and proceed with 47.
