Cisco Cisco Prime Home 2.4 Betriebsanweisung

Table 1 describes the network components required to set up an onsite Prime Home solution.

Apache  ActiveMQ

Open source messaging platform that facilitates sending Java messages and acts as a message 
queue for Prime Home. Multiple instances of ActiveMQ can be set for Prime Home to serve 
the ACS GUI. For more information on Apache ActiveMQ, see 

.

Apache Solr

Document repository where you store database indexes. Solr allows you to run the Prime 
Home GUI with rapid access to all of the data. Instead of directly accessing the database, 
Solr accesses the index manager and retrieves the data in XML format. Solr must be 
configured in a primary-secondary (master-slave) environment to support Prime Home. For 
more information on Apache Solr, see 

.

(Optional) Session Traversal 
Utilities for NAT (STUN)

Allows a server to communicate with devices behind a firewall. STUN is needed only when 
you do not have a direct network route to the device. In a hosted Prime Home setup, the 
server is located in a Cisco data center and might not have direct access to your network. 
With onsite Prime Home, you can set up routing within your network. 

Cisco Taze provides STUN functionality and can be deployed in your network with the help 
of Cisco Advanced Services.

Apache server

Provides standard HTTP services and helps in setting up the Prime Home host in public, 
private, and secured mode. For more information on the Apache server, see 

Apache Tomcat

Java container platform for Prime Home. Tomcat provides an open-source implementation 
of the Java servlet and Java server technologies. For more information on Apache Tomcat, 
see 

.

ACS CPE

Facilitates configuring and provisioning the CPEs. The ACS CPE component also provides 
API service, which is used to discover data from CPEs for performance management. The 
ACS CPE component is used to apply a specific configuration on the CPE.

ACS UI

Enables CPEs to retrieve the initial configuration and firmware rules. When the CPE boots 
up and contacts the ACS UI, the CPE-responder component sends the initial configuration 
to the CPE. The ACS UI also provides a simulated view of the subscriber’s network from the 
Prime Home GUI and the Control Panel for subscribers.

Index Manager

Accesses the database and retrieves data. The Index Manager also converts data to XML 
format. The Solr component uses this XML data to serve the Prime Home GUI.

Content Filtering Service

Provides access control for HTTP requests, based on the selected profile. This component 
enables you to allow or block HTTP requests received from devices at the CPE level. For 
more information on the Content Filtering Service, see 

.

Third-Party Categorization 
Engine

Provides profile-based categorization service for HTTP requests. The Content Filtering 
Service uses the Categorization Engine to retrieve the allowed and blocked URLs list.

Cloudera Flume

Provides data transport between Prime Home and the data store. For more information on 
Cloudera Flume, see 

.

MongoDB

Document storage solution for Prime Home. Prime Home supports configuring multiple 
instances of MongoDB for document storage. For more information on MongoDB, see
