3 Typical BIMS applications
The scenarios described in this section are provided to help you better understand how BIMS is
typically applied to aid in network management:
Authenticate and add CPEs
Add a CPE to BIMS, so that you can centrally, effectively manage the CPE. For tutorial or illustration
purposes, assume the IP address of the CPE to be added to BIMS is 10.153.89.150.
CAUTION:
Because BIMS authenticates the CPE before adding it, make sure that the BIMS system
parameters match the related parameters of the CPE to be added.
1.
Configure the BIMS system parameters, including the default polling time, periodic inform
interval, CPE access parameters, CPE adding policy, and common password. As shown in
the figure below:
•
The
polling interval is the interval at which BIMS polls the connectivity status of CPEs.
•
The
periodic inform interval is the interval at which the CPE accesses BIMS.
•
CPE access parameters are the username and password that BIMS uses to connect to the
CPE. BIMS can actively connect to a CPE only when the username and password of the
CPE match the access parameters of BIMS. When a new CPE is added, the CPE uses the
default access parameters of BIMS. You can modify the access parameters for a CPE on
the CPE details page.
•
The
CPE adding policy specifies whether adding CPEs automatically is allowed.
•
With the common password enabled, when the username and password of a CPE do
not match those of the CPE authentication user configured for the CPE in BIMS, the CPE
uses the common password for authentication. By default, the common password is bims.
You can modify the common password as needed.
2.
Configure the following
-related parameters for the CPE, including the
ACS URL, ACS
username, and ACS password.
# Enter CWMP view.
[Test] cwmp.
# Configure the BIMS server address and port. The default port through
which the CPE accesses the BIMS server is 9090.
[Test-cwmp] cwmp acs url http://10.153.129.0:9090
