

Managing hundreds/thousands of cell site routers (CSR)
Problem: easily integrate a new cell site router that is consistent
with engineering design for VLAN, MPLS, BFD, and/or QoS
settings. Enable traffic through the backhaul to the aggregation.

Demonstration Overview




HetnetIP Lab setup: two devices, 1 modeled as CSR and 1 modeled as
Aggregation Router.
Physically connected via ports GigabitEthernet 0/1 on each device.
Aggregation Router already configured with EBH VLAN 3500 and IP.
Demonstration will show VLAN Extension configuration and monitoring on
CSR.
