Chapter 4 Configuring the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Software
Initial Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Software Configuration
Initial Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Software Configuration
The following required configuration parameters in the XECfgParm.dat file (see Table 4-3) are critical
to bringing up the system. For a complete list of the parameters found in the XECfgParm.dat file and
how they are used by the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch, see Appendix A, “XECfgParm.dat File
Parameters.”
Note The XECfgParm.dat file must be provisioned with the installation of every system. The file consists of
set of parameters that are necessary to bring up the system. This set of required parameters is configured
via the MGC Environment Configuration Tool.
When you exit the MGC Environment Configuration Tool, the slave file is sent via FTP to the appropriate
system.
During initial Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch configuration, we recommend that you put an initial
configuration on the active host, otherwise both the active and standby hosts will remain in the stopped
state. Do not start the standby host if the active host is not yet provisioned.
When the initial configuration on the active host is deployed, you must change the pom.dataSync
parameter to true in the XECfgParm.dat file in the standby host. After setting this parameter to true, you
can start the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software on the standby host. As the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software comes up, the data on the standby host is synchronized with the
data on the active host. Initiate switchover to bring the active host to the standby state.
To accommodate failover conditions where the current active host can become the standby host, you
must also set the pom.dataSync parameter to true on the current active host.
When upgrading the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software: You must set the pom.dataSync parameter
to false on the current active host in order to preserve configuration files.
