Setting Up Basic IP Modem Services
Establishing a Network-Service Definition
Begin your implementation of basic IP UPC services by establishing a network service definition. Use
the perspectives described in Table 6-1 preceding and in the following list of design and configuration
considerations as a guide. A conservative approach is to project your current deployment and design into
a three-month, one-year, and five-year timeline.
Step 1 Project user growth and resulting line requirements (lines=users/busy-hour ratio) over the following
intervals:
• 3 months (example: 25 lines)
• 1 year (example: 50 lines)
• 5 years (example: 100 lines)
Step 2 Determine user-to-line ratio during busy hours.
Step 3 Determine access media to be used for dial services:
• Analog lines
• ISDN BRI lines
Step 4 Determine types of remote devices to support:
• Analog modems
• Remote LANs
• PCBUS ISDN terminal adaptors
• V. 1 1 0
• V. 1 2 0
Step 5 Determine operating systems to support:
• Windows 95
• Windows 98
• Windows NT
• UNIX
• Mac OS
Step 6 Determine if dial-in modem services will be supported.
Step 7 Rank technology priorities:
• AAA design
• IP design
• V.90 modem performance
Step 8 Determine which access service will be used for connecting to modems:
• EXEC shell sessions
• PPP sessions
• SLIP sessions
Step 9 Determine if multilink will be supported. If yes, indicate whether you will scale to a stacked multichassis
solution.
Step 10 Determine if PPP timeouts (accounting) will be supported.
