Converting Non-IPSG-M2PA Linksets to IPSG-M2PA Linksets

IPSG-M2PA signaling links can reside in a linkset with other non-IPGWx, non-IPSG-M2PA links. Having non-IPSG-M2PA links in a IPSG-M2PA linkset is supported to allow non-IPSG-M2PA linksets to be converted to IPSG-M2PA linksets, and should be a temporary condition. In the case of IPSG-M2PA linksets that contain other link types, the non-IPSG-M2PA links will not be subject to the configured SLKTPS. The rept-stat-iptps command will not report any link IP TPS data or raise link IP TPS alarms for the non-IPSG links that are not reporting IP TPS information.

To convert an existing non-IPSG-M2PA linkset to an IPSG-M2PA linkset, perform the following steps:

1. Existing linkset (LINKSETA) with IPGWAPC=NO and IPSG=NO (i.e. contains links of any type except IPGW or IPSG)
2. Enter chg-ls:lsn=LINKSETA:ipsg=YES:slktps=XXXX
3. Provision new IPSG cards and M2PA associations
4. Add new IPSG-M2PA links to linkset and remove non-IPSG-M2PA links from linkset, soaking modifications as required

To back out the above conversion:

1. Remove IPSG-M2PA links from linkset and add original non-IPSG-M2PA links to linkset.
2. Enter chg-ls:lsn=LINKSETA:ipsg=NO

Using the chg-card Command to Migrate IPLIM to IPSG

The chg-card command allows the IPLIM application running on E5-ENET or E5-ENET-B cards, to be migrated to IPSG, if the following requirements are met:

• The IPLIM application must be running on E5-ENET or E5-ENET-B cards.
• The hardware can be changed to IPSG running on E5-ENET or E5-ENET-B cards.
• The card must be manually inhibited prior to successful execution of the change command.
• All IP associations configured for the card must use adapter type M2PA.
• All links configured for the card must have an association configured.
• The migrated IPSG card TPS and system TPS must pass limit checks.
• The card must be manually allowed after successful execution.

Note:

If changing the configuration from IPLIM to IPSG exceeds the Transactions per Second (TPS) limits of the card or system, then the command is rejected.
