Cisco Systems Broadband Access Center Manual De Usuario

This chapter provides the information you need to prepare for a successful Broadband Access Center for 
Cable (BACC) component installation, including these topics: 

The BACC component installation program prompts you to install one or more of these components:

Regional distribution unit (RDU). The RDU is the primary server in the BACC provisioning system. 
You should install the RDU on a Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 server that meets the requirements described 
in the 

. The RDU performs these functions:

Manages the generation of device configurations.

Acts as a clearinghouse through which all application programming interface (API) requests 
must pass.

Manages the BACC system.

Network Registrar extensions. These extensions are the link between BACC and Network Registrar. 
Install this component on all Network Registrar servers in your BACC environment. If you are 
deploying BACC in a failover environment, you must also install the extensions on the failover 
servers.

We recommend that you install the BACC Network Registrar extensions on a server running 
Network Registrar 6.1.2.3 or higher.

Device Provisioning Engine (DPE). BACC supports the deployment of a DPE on Solaris Sparc 
computers running Solaris 8 or Solaris 9.

The DPE component now requires licenses to be installed at the RDU. If you have not yet 
received your licenses, contact your Cisco Systems representative before proceeding.
