Network layer protocol security and mobility applications are handled by specialized protocol
handler components. Various modes of operation are configurable through the EMS and provide
such services as DHCP address learning and authentication assistance via the DHCP Relay
Agent, Proxy ARP broadcast security, and network layer mobility support. These components
are started at this point:
Starting DHCP Relay Agent.................Done
Starting Peer ARP Proxy Agent.............Done
Starting Host ARP Proxy Agent.............Done
Starting Mobile IP Proxy Agent............Done
An LLC Proxy is an object that provides relay service via the LLC IF conduit to the MDM card.
Objects on the CC card can communicate with an object on the MDM card directly using such a
proxy. Several such proxied objects exist and are created with this message:
Starting LLC Proxy........................Done
As the CC card downloads and initializes the DSPs on the MDM and CHP cards, each
component is identified with a “Loading” message:
Loading LLC...............................Done
The next item that appears notifies the user of the location where the BTS is retrieving its
Management Information Base (MIB). After initial installation and provisioning through the boot
line, “EMS” is selected as the Config Data Source. In this case, all remaining parameters are
downloaded from the EMS.
Once the BTS and EMS have synchronized and ownership of individual elements in the MIB
negotiated, subsequent reboots of the BTS will indicate the local “BTS” copy of the MIB is
being used. This reduces the burden and start-up time of a system-wide restart:
Selecting Config Data Source as BTS ......Done
Once the MIB information is identified, the SNMP agent is initialized. At this point, the EMS
can begin communicating with the BTS via this agent:
Initializing SNMP Agent ..................Done
The BTS tests that a path through the WAN exists to its EMS Server. That test is identified next
in the sequence. If the EMS is selected as the Config Data Source, the initialization cannot
continue. If the “BTS” is selected as the data source, the BTS can continue to initialize.
