Service/Subscriber Provisioning
The Cisco 6400 Service Connection Manager (SCM) allows you to make and manage network
connections through a set of menu options available by right clicking on an appropriate
Cisco 6400 Chassis, NSP, NRP, NLC, or port object in MapViewer window. These menu options allow
you to create and configure services and subscribers, and to manage the subsequent connection of the
subscribers to the services. Figure 9-1 describes the basic workflow for service and subscriber
provisioning.
This chapter details the tasks you need to use during day to day service connection management and the
name we use to describe combined service and subscriber provisioning.

Apply a profile (optional) and then configure the
remaining parameters manually or configure all of the
parameters manually. Some manual configuration is
always required (for example, uplink VPI/VCI). Click
the Commission Service button to "roll" the selected
service configuration onto the 6400 UAC hardware.
Service profiles allow you to configure and save
some or all of the configuration information for a
service instance. You can then later apply the profile
to many service instances.
