      Configuring Automatic Protection Switching (APS)
    Configuring Automatic Protection Switching (APS)
    APS refers to the mechanism of using a protect interface in the SONET network as the backup for 
    working interface. When the working interface fails, the protect interface quickly assumes its traffic 
    load. The working interfaces and their protect interfaces make up an APS group. SONET APS offers 
    recovery from fiber (external) or equipment (interface and internal) failures at the SONET line layer.
    Channelization Commands for SONET/SDH 
    Note
    Channelization commands also include the TDM commands discussed above. Read the 
    description to understand the scenario applicable to your device.

    The following topics provide an overview of mobile technologies and describe how to work with mobile 
    technologies using the Vision client. If you cannot perform an operation that is described in these topics, 
    you may not have sufficient permissions; see Permissions Required to Perform Tasks Using the

    These topics describe how to use Prime Network to manage GPRS/UMTS networks:
    Overview of GPRS/UMTS Networks, page 27-1
    Working With GPRS/UMTS Network Technologies, page 27-3
    Overview of GPRS/UMTS Networks
    General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) are 
    evolutions of Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) networks. 
    GPRS is a 2.5G mobile communications technology that enables mobile wireless service providers to 
    offer their mobile subscribers packet-based data services over GSM networks. UMTS is a 3G mobile 
    communications technology that provides wideband code division multiple access (CDMA) radio 
    technology. Figure 27-1 shows a basic GPRS/UMTS network topology.

    Chapter 27      Managing Mobile Networks
      GPRS/UMTS Networks
    Figure 27-1 Basic GPRS/UMTS Network Topology
    The GPRS/UMTS packet core comprises two major network elements:
    Gateway GPRS support node (GGSN)—A gateway that provides mobile cell phone users access to 
    a Packet Data Network (PDN) or specified private Internet Protocol (IP) networks. 
    Serving GPRS support node (SGSN)—Connects the radio access network (RAN) to the 
    GPRS/UMTS core and tunnels user sessions to the GGSN. The SGSN sends data to and receives 
    data from mobile stations, and maintains information about the location of a mobile station (MS). 
    The SGSN communicates directly with the MS and the GGSN.
    PDNs are associated with Access Point Names (APNs) configured on the system. Each APN consists of 
    a set of parameters that dictate how subscriber authentication and IP address assignment is to be handled 
    for that APN.
    The Vision client allows you to configure the mobile technologies by using commands and also view the 
    properties configured for the mobile technologies. Figure 27-2 shows an example of the Inventory 
    window with the mobile technology nodes/containers under the Mobile context.
    To see which devices support mobile technologies, refer to Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 Supported VNEs.

    Monitoring the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), page 27-31
    Working with the Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN)
    The GGSN works in conjunction with SGSNs within the network to perform the following functions:
    Establish and maintain subscriber Internet Protocol (IP) or Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) type 
    Packet Data Protocol (PDP) contexts originated by either the mobile or the network.
    Provide charging detail records (CDRs) to the charging gateway ((CG), also known as the Charging 
    Gateway Function (CGF)).
    Route data traffic between the subscriber’s Mobile Station (MS) and a PDN such as the Internet or 
    an intranet.

    In addition, to providing basic GGSN functionality as described above, the system can be configured to 
    support Mobile IP and/or Proxy Mobile IP data applications in order to provide mobility for subscriber 
    IP PDP contexts. When supporting these services, the system can be configured to function as a GGSN 
    and Foreign Agent (FA), a stand-alone Home Agent (HA), or a GGSN, FA, and HA simultaneously 
    within the carriers network.
    The following topics explain how to work with GGSN in the Vision client:

    Viewing Additional Characteristics of a GGSN, page 27-6

    Viewing GGSN Properties
    The Vision client displays the GGSNs in a GGSN container under the Mobile node in the logical 
    inventory. The icon used for representing GGSNs in the logical inventory is explained in NE Logical 
    Inventory Icons, page A-7.
    To view GGSN properties:
    Step 1Right-click the required device in the Vision client and choose Inventory.
    Step 2In the Logical Inventory window, choose Logical Inventory > Context> Mobile > GGSN Container.
    The Vision client displays the list of GGSNs configured under the container. You can view the individual 
    GGSN details from the table on the right pane or by choosing Logical Inventory > Context> Mobile > 
    GGSN Container> GGSN.
    Table 27-1 describes the details available for each GGSN.
