Feature Overview
With Cisco Resource Pool Manager (RPM), telephone companies and Internet service providers (ISPs)
can share dial resources for wholesale and retail dial network services in a single network access server
(NAS) or across multiple NAS stacks. Call management and call discrimination can be configured to
occur before the call is answered, and customers are differentiated by using configurable customer
profiles that are based on the dial number identification service (DNIS) and call type determined at the
time of an incoming call. As a result, Cisco RPM enables service providers to count, control, and manage
resources and provide accounting for shared resources when implementing different service-level
agreements.

Feature Overview
The Universal Port Resource Pooling for Voice and Data Services feature now enables service providers
to mix voice and data services using resource pool management. With the implementation of the new
voice command in resource-pool profile service configuration mode, a resource group with voice service
is designated under a particular customer profile, and voice resource pool service is enabled after resouce
pool management is configured.
Cisco RPM can be configured in one or more standalone Cisco NASs or, optionally, across multiple NAS
stacks by using one or more external Cisco Resource Pool Manager Servers (RPMSs). This document
presents the single, standalone NAS version of Cisco RPM. For more information about Cisco RPMS,
see the Cisco Resource Pool Manager Server Solution Guide.
Benefits
The Universal Port Resource Pooling for Voice and Data Services feature provides the following
benefits:
•
Mix voice and data services in a single access server or stack of servers using resource pool
management.
•
Manage customer use of shared resources.
•
Offer advanced wholesale dial-up services directly to customers. Because the PPP and AAA feature
sets are selected by the incoming DNIS, the service provider no longer needs tunneling technology
to provide unique service-level agreements to wholesale dial customers.
•
Efficiently use resource groups to offer differing over-subscription rates and dial service-level
agreements.
•
Accept or reject a call based on the incoming DNIS number before answering the call.
•
Include local retail dial services in the same NAS with the wholesale dial customers.
•
For voice calls, resource pool management is done only for incoming calls (calls from PSTN legs).
For outgoing voice calls, resources are allocated only from the default system resource group.
•
Mixing of voice DNIS numbers and data DNIS numbers within the same DNIS group in resource
pool management is not allowed.
•
The same DNIS cannot be used for both voice and data calls in resource pool management.
•
Modem pooling and resource pool management are not compatible.

Determining Platform Support Through Cisco Feature Navigator
Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets that support specific platforms. To get updated
information regarding platform support for this feature, access Cisco Feature Navigator. Cisco Feature
Navigator dynamically updates the list of supported platforms as new platform support is added for the
feature.
Cisco Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to determine which Cisco IOS software
images support a specific set of features and which features are supported in a specific Cisco IOS image.
You can search by feature or release. Under the release section, you can compare releases side by side
to display both the features unique to each software release and the features in common.
To access Cisco Feature Navigator, you must have an account on Cisco.com. If you have forgotten or
lost your account information, send a blank e-mail to [email protected]. An automatic check
will verify that your e-mail address is registered with Cisco.com. If the check is successful, account
details with a new random password will be e-mailed to you. Qualified users can establish an account
on Cisco.com by following the directions at http://www.cisco.com/register.
Cisco Feature Navigator is updated regularly when major Cisco IOS software releases and technology
releases occur. For the most current information, go to the Cisco Feature Navigator home page at the
following URL:

Supported Standards, MIBs, and RFCs
Availability of Cisco IOS Software Images
Platform support for particular Cisco IOS software releases is dependent on the availability of the
software images for those platforms. Software images for some platforms may be deferred, delayed, or
changed without prior notice. For updated information about platform support and availability of
software images for each Cisco IOS software release, refer to the online release notes or, if supported,
Cisco Feature Navigator.
Supported Standards, MIBs, and RFCs
Standards
No new or modified standards are supported by this feature.
MIBs
No new or modified MIBs are supported by this feature.
To obtain lists of MIBs supported by platform and Cisco IOS release and to download MIB modules, go
to the Cisco MIB website on Cisco.com at
http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml.
RFCs
No new or modified RFCs are supported by this feature.
Prerequisites
Because Cisco RPM differentiates customers through configured customer profiles based on the DNIS
and call type determined at the time of an incoming call, the following components of resouce pool
management must be configured before enabling voice resource pool service:
•
Customer Profile Types
•
Call Types
•
DNIS Groups
•
Resource Groups
•
Resource Services
For more information about configuring resouce pool management, see Configuring Resource Pool
Management.
Configuration Tasks
See the following sections for configuration tasks for this feature. Each task in the list is identified as
either required or optional.
•
Confirming Voice Resource Pool Service Availability (optional)
•
Enabling Voice Resource Pool Service (required)
•
Verifying Voice Resource Pool Service (optional)
