7.11 Provisioning the iMG/RG (no iMAP or AW+)
7.11.1 Overview
Note: Section 7.6.9 provides an overview of provisioning the iMG/RG on AlliedWare Plus (AW+) devices, and how it has the same
feature coordination as with iMAPs.
When both the iMG/RG and upstream port are controlled by the NMS, certain provisioning features can be coordinated,
allowing the administrator to provision, query, and control one or more iMG/RGs quickly and efficiently.
However, this does not mean the iMG/RG can only be configured by the NMS when it is connected to an iMAP or AW+
port. If the correct steps are taken, the NMS can provision the iMG/RG so that it provides all of its supported services.
When the iMAP and its attributes are not included and are therefore not part of a provisioning/maintaining scenario, the
following concepts are altered or not applicable.
• Port Profiles are not part of provisioning.
• DNS Entries for iMAPs (remote IDs) are not included. This is what controls the next item.
• Scoping in the iMG profiles is not part of provisioning.
• The Customer ID applies only to the iMG/RG (and optionally to GenBand).
• In the Triple Play Provisioning window, preferences should be set so that iMAP-related fields do not appear or are
masked out.
• Only statistics related to the iMG/RG are displayed in the Triple Play Management window.
• DHCP is still used for provisioning, but the set-up and steps followed are different.
