Resource Groups
Cisco RPM enables you to maximize the use of available shared resources within a Cisco NAS for
various resource allocation schemes to support service-level agreements. Cisco RPM allows you to
combine your Cisco NAS resource groups with call types (speech, digital, V.110, and V.120) and
optional resource modem services. Resource groups and services are configured for customer profiles
and assigned to incoming calls through DNIS groups and call types.
Resource groups have the following characteristics:
• Are configured on the Cisco NAS and applied to a customer profile.
• Represent groupings of similar hardware or firmware that are static and do not change on a per-call
basis.
• Can define resources that are port-based or not port-based:
– Port-based resources are identified by physical location, such as a range of port/slot numbers
(for example, modems or terminal adapters).
– Non-port-based resources are identified by a single size parameter (for example, HDLC framers
or V.120 terminal adapters—V.120 terminal adapters are currently implemented as part of Cisco
IOS software).
Resource assignments contain combinations of Cisco NAS resource groups, optional resource modem
services, and call types. The NAS resources in resource groups that have not been assigned to a customer
profile will not be used.
Note To support ISDN DoVBS, use a DNIS group and a configured customer profile to direct the speech
call to the appropriate digital resource. The resource group assigned to this customer profile will be
“digital resources” and also have a call type of “speech,” so the call will terminate on an HDLC
controller rather than a modem.
Resource Services
A resource service contains a finite series of resource command strings that can be used to help
dynamically configure an incoming connection. Services supported by a resource group are determined
by the combination of hardware and firmware installed. Currently, resource service options can be
configured and applied to resource groups. Resource services can be defined to affect minimum and
maximum speed, modulation, error correction, and compression, as shown in Table 41.
