Viewing Transport Models Supported by ADSL2+ and VDSL2
In Prime Network, the following transport models are supported in the ADSL2+ and VDSL2 
technologies:
N-to-One—In this most commonly used model, a Service VLAN tag (S-Vid) is assigned to a service 
throughout the network. The destination is determined by the MAC address of the device and the 
service VLAN at the edge of the network. This transport model is supported on ADSL2+ and 
VDSL2 line cards.
One-to-One—In this model, the destination is determined by a pair of VLAN tags, which must be 
unique throughout the network. This transport model is supported on B6 VDSL2 line cards.
Transparent LAN Service (TLS) —This model allows transparency to the business customers while 
transporting business traffic between geographically disperse business endpoints. The traffic that is 
transported by the infrastructure that interconnects the locations is transparent to the carrier network 
(including protocols such as STP, unicast and multicast protocols). The traffic can be of any format 
and often includes VLAN tagged traffic. Control Protocol Type The type of control protocol currently operating on the G.bond port, which 
can be any one of the following:
BACP
G.HS
This field defaults to G.HS.
NoteThis field is available only if the Oper Scheme for the DSL bonding 
group is specified as G.988.2.
PTM Encapsulation 
Ty p eThe Packet Transfer Mode-Transport Convergence Layer (PTM-TC) 
encapsulation type supported by the G.bond port, which can be any one of 
the following:
64/65-octet
HDLC
NoteThis field is available only if the Oper Scheme for the DSL bonding 
group is specified as G.988.2.
Is BACP Supported Indicates whether the Bonding Aggregation Control Protocol (BACP) is 
supported y the G.bond port.

network operating systems. When a device wants to send data to 
another device over ethernet, it must first determine the MAC 
address of the target device. These IP to MAC address mappings are 
derived from the ARP cache maintained on each device.

Monitoring Cisco Virtualized Packet Core
The following topics provide an overview of Cisco Virtualized Packet Core (VPC) and describe the two 
configurations of VPC. 
Overview of Cisco Virtualized Packet Core (VPC), page 31-1
VPC–SI, page 31-1
VPC–DI, page 31-2
UUID Support in Prime Network, page 31-4
Cisco Virtual Gateway Fault Correlation, page 31-4
Overview of Cisco Virtualized Packet Core (VPC) 
Cisco VPC is the industrys first hardware platform and hypervisor-independent solution that combines 
network functions virtualization (NfV) and software-defined networking (SDN). Cisco Virtualized 
Packet Core (VPC) provides a single solution for all the packet core services (4G, 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, and 
small cell networks). As the network functions are provided as virtualized services, VPC enables a user 
to scale capacity and introduce new services in a faster and cost-effective manner. 
Cisco VPC is based on the same proven StarOS software used in Cisco ASR 5000 Series platforms. VPC 
is mainly designed to distribute and orchestrate packet core functions across physical and virtual 
resources to enable users to perform the transition from physical to virtualized packet core services, or 
use both simultaneously.
The configurations supported by VPC:
SI (Single instance)
DI (Distributed instance)
VPC–SI
With a single VM per virtual node, the VPC-SI is used as a solution for small to medium instances. Based 
on the StarOS, each VM deployed on the device supports a single function mapped to it. In general, 
VPC-SI supports SAE-GW, PGW, SGW, SGSN, and HNBGW services, and all the other mobility 
services that are supported by Cisco ASR5000.

Identifying VPC–SI VNE
To identify a VPC –SI device, follow the steps provided below:
Step 1Click the VNE.
Step 2In the VNE Inventory window, verify if Device series is Virtual ASR 5K SI Series Mobile-Gateway.
Step 3Ve r i f y  i f  t h e  Element type is Virtual ASR 5K SI Mobile-Gateway.
Step 4Ve r i f y  i f  t h e  Virtual device property is set to Tr u e.
Figure 31-1 Deployment of VPC -SI VNE
VPC–DI
The VPC-DI supports larger instances using multiple VMs. This capability is achieved by creating a 
distributed infrastructure by combining all the VMs in the virtual node to perform a single or multiple 
services. However, the VPC-DI is designed in such a way that the VMs have a single point of 
management. Based on StarOS, the VPC-DI supports distributed services (load balancing) across all 
VMs using a single service address. 
At least one among the VMs is a MIO VM, and one or more VMs act as Fabric VMs and Service VMs. 
However, with StarOS 17, in the future releases, the fabric VM functionality will be intercoupled within 
the service VM and will not exist as separate VM. 
Identifying VPC–DI VNE
To identify a VPC–DI device, follow the steps provided below:
Step 1Click on the VNE.
