Method of Procedure for HNB Gateway

Configuration on Redundant Serving

Nodes
First Published: December 19, 2014

This method of procedure (MOP) provides the HNBGW configuration on redundant Serving nodes on Cisco RMS.

The post install script mentioned in the Cisco RMS Install Guide “configure_hnbgw.sh” script configures the HNBGW
information only on the active Serving node. Therefore, to configure HNBGW on a redundant Serving node, follow the
procedures in this document.

Note: These procedures are only applicable to setups where HNBGW information is configured for the first time on the RMS
system and where HNBGW information is not present in the descriptor file during RMS deployment.

Adding HNBGW Information on the Redundant Serving Node

This procedure adds HNBGW information on the redundant Serving node at the PNR level.

1. Log in to the primary Serving node using ssh as admin user.

Command

ssh <serving_node_pri_ip_addr>

<input admin_pwd>

2. Switch to root user on primary Serving node.

Command

su

<input root_pwd>

3. Log in to PNR command prompt.

Command

/rms/app/nwreg2/local/usrbin/nrcmd -N cnradmin -P <admin_pwd>

4. Set the current PNR Session Visibility to a value of 3

Command

nrcmd> set session visibility=3

5. Synchronize the PNR configuration of the primary Serving node with the secondary Serving node present in Site 2
(Active-Active pair).

Command

nrcmd> failover-pair femto-dhcp-failover sync exact main-to-backup

Output

nrcmd> failover-pair femto-dhcp-failover sync exact main-to-backup

101 Ok, with warnings

6. Log in to the redundant secondary Serving node using ssh as admin user.
Command

ssh <serving_node_sec_ip_addr>

<input admin_pwd>

7. Switch to root user on redundant/secondary Serving node.

Command

su

<input root_pwd>

8. Log in to the redundant/secondary PNR command prompt.

Command

/rms/app/nwreg2/local/usrbin/nrcmd -N cnradmin -P <admin_pwd>

9. Set the current PNR Session Visibility to a value of 3.

nrcmd> set session visibility=3

10. Check the final scope configuration for the new HNBGW and confirm that all values are as per the required HNBGW to be
integrated.

Command

nrcmd> scope list

Note: Output of this command shows the scope created for the HNBGW and the DHCP information.

Adding HNBGW and DHCP Information on the Redundant Serving Node

This procedure adds HNBGW and DHCP information on the redundant Serving node at the PAR level.

1. Log in to the redundant or secondary Serving node using ssh as admin user.

Command

ssh <serving_node_pri_ip_addr>

<input admin_pwd>

2. Switch to root user on the redundant or secondary Serving node.

Command

su

<input root_pwd>

3. Log in to PAR command prompt with the appropriate admin password.

Command

/rms/app/CSCOar/bin/aregcmd -N admin

4. Navigate to the “clients” folder to view the available and configured HNBGW server configurations.

Command

cd /radius/clients/

5. Add a new folder for the new HNBGW server. For example, ASR5K.
Command

Add ASR5K

6. Navigate to the newly created ASR5K folder.

Command

cd ASR5K

7. Set the protocol for the new ASR 5000 folder as “Radius”.
Command

set protocol radius

Output

--> set protocol radius

Set Protocol radius

8. Set the HNBGW IP address which maps to the required HNBGW IP address.
Command

--> set ipaddress <asr5k_hnbgw_ip_address>

Output

--> set ipaddress 10.5.4.202

Set IPAddress 10.5.4.202

9. Set the shared secret password for the PAR configuration (This is a customer specific property and can be
retrieved from the Descriptor File -> Radius Shared Secret).
Command

--> set sharedsecret <radius_shared_secret>

Output

--> set sharedsecret secret

Set SharedSecret <encrypted>

10. Return to one directory level to the list of available and configured ASR 5000 folders.
Command

cd..

11. Navigate to the new ASR5K2 folder and check the configurations and verify if they correspond to the new
ASR 5000 server configurations.
Command

cd ASR5K

Output

--> cd ASR5K

[ //localhost/Radius/Clients/ASR5K ]

Name = ASR5K

Description =

Protocol = radius

IPAddress = 10.5.4.202

SharedSecret = <encrypted>

Type = NAS

Vendor =

IncomingScript~ =

OutgoingScript~ =

EnableDynamicAuthorization = FALSE

NetMask =

EnableNotifications = FALSE

EnforceTrafficThrottling = TRUE
