2 Overview
Overview
2.1 Introduction
Operation and maintenance channels (OMCHs) are established between base stations and the
operation maintenance center (OMC, either the U2000 or BSC). OMCHs are used to transmit
operation and maintenance information about base stations and are classified as follows:
l
OMCHs between the single-mode base station, such as the eGBTS, NodeB, or eNodeB and
the U2000, or between the GBTS and the BSC.
OMCHs between the co-MPT multimode base station and the U2000.
MPT is short for main processing and transmission unit. OMCHs between the separateMPT multimode base station and the U2000. The separate-MPT multimode base station is
comprised of multiple cascaded single-mode base stations and therefore has multiple
OMCHs. For example, OMCHs for the separate-MPT UMTS/LTE dual-mode base station
include the OMCH between the NodeB and the U2000, and the OMCH between the
eNodeB and the U2000.
OMCHs between the U2000 and the NodeB in an ATM network.

NOTE
One end of an OMCH is located at the main control board of a base station. Depending on the configuration
of the main control board, multimode base stations are classified into co-MPT multimode base stations and
separate-MPT multimode base stations. For co-MPT multimode base stations, GSM, UMTS, and LTE
modes share the same main control board and OMCH. For separate-MPT multimode base stations, GSM,
UMTS, and LTE modes have their respective main control boards and OMCHs.
In this document, a base station is used if differentiation among GSM, UMTS, and LTE modes is not
required. A GBTS, eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, co-MPT multimode base station, or separate-MPT multimode
base station is used if differentiation among GSM, UMTS, and LTE modes is required.
In this document, the BSC is the OMC of a GBTS and the U2000 is the OMC of an eGBTS, NodeB,
eNodeB, separate-MPT multimode base station, or co-MPT multimode base station.
The Automatic OMCH Establishment feature enables a powered-on base station, which is
configured with hardware but no transmission information, to obtain OMCH configuration
information through the transport network and automatically establish an OMCH to the U2000
or BSC. The base station can then automatically download software and configuration files/
configuration data from the U2000 or BSC over the established OMCH and activate them. After
being commissioned, the base station enters the working state. For details, see 3900 Series Base
Station Commissioning Guide.

2 Overview
This feature applies to base station deployment by PnP. Figure 2-1 shows the O&M path selfestablishment phase during deployment by PnP.
Figure 2-1 Automatic OMCH establishment phase during base station deployment by PnP
NOTE
This document describes only the procedures marked in the dashed box shown in Figure 2-1.
To establish an OMCH, a base station needs to obtain the following transmission configuration
information:
l
Basic information, including its OM IP address, OM virtual local area network (VLAN)
ID, the interface IP address, the interface IP address mask, the IP address of the next-hop
gateway, the IP address of the U2000 or BSC, and the IP address mask of the U2000 or
BSC.
Security-related information, including the Certificate Authority (CA) name, transmission

protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) used by the CA, CA address, CA port number, CA path, IP
address of the security gateway (SeGW), and name of the security gateway. Obtaining the
operator's CA information is required only when the base station needs to use digital
certificates issued by the operator's CA to perform identity authentication with other
devices.
For details about how the base station obtains the preceding information, see chapter "Base
Station Obtaining Transmission Configuration Information".

2.2 Benefits
With the Automatic OMCH Establishment feature, a base station can establish OMCHs by
network communication without requiring operations at the local end. This implements remote
base station deployment by PnP, thereby facilitating base station deployment and reducing the
deployment cost and time.
2.3 Application Networking Scenarios

GBTSs support automatic OMCH establishment in TDM and IP networking scenarios. NodeBs
support automatic OMCH establishment in ATM and IP networking scenarios. eNodeBs and
eGBTSs support automatic OMCH establishment in IP networking scenarios.
Table 2-1 describes the application networking scenarios for the Automatic OMCH
Establishment feature. In this document, the IPsec or non-IPsec networking indicates that the IP
layer communication between the base station and other devices is secured or not secured by
IPsec, respectively.

for Base Stations
3.1 OMCH Protocol Stacks

OMCHs between the eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or co-MPT multimode base station and the
U2000 are carried over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). OMCHs between the GBTS and
the BSC are carried over User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
3.1.1 Non-IPsec Networking Scenario

Figure 3-1 shows the protocol stacks for an OMCH between the eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or
co-MPT multimode base station and the U2000.
Figure 3-1 Protocol stacks for an OMCH between the eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or co-MPT
multimode base station and the U2000
As shown in Figure 3-1, an OMCH between the eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or co-MPT
multimode base station and the U2000 is carried over TCP and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), of
which SSL is optional.
The eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or co-MPT multimode base station listens to the TCP connection
establishment request with a specific TCP port number from the U2000, and establishes the TCP
connection to the U2000 as requested. After the TCP connection is established, the U2000

initiates an OMCH establishment request to the eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or co-MPT multimode
base station.
The U2000 can use SSL to perform encryption and authentication for OMCHs and enable the
establishment of SSL-based OMCHs. SSL uses the public key infrastructure (PKI), with which
the communication between the base station and the U2000 is protected against eavesdropping
and therefore confidentiality and reliability are guaranteed. For details about SSL, see SSL
Feature Parameter Description.
Figure 3-2 shows the protocol stacks for an OMCH between the GBTS and the BSC.
Figure 3-2 Protocol stacks for an OMCH between the GBTS and the BSC
As shown in Figure 3-2, an OMCH between the GBTS and the BSC is carried over UDP. The
GBTS listens to the UDP connection establishment request with a specific UDP port number
from the BSC, and establishes the UDP connection to the BSC as requested. After the UDP
connection is established, the BSC initiates an OMCH establishment request to the GBTS.
NOTE
During the OMCH establishment procedure, the eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or co-MPT multimode base
station listens to specific TCP port numbers, and the GBTS listens to the UDP port numbers. For details,
see Communication Matrix of 3900 Series Base Stations. The packets with these port numbers must be
allowed to pass through the firewall between the base station and the DHCP server, U2000, or BSC.
After establishing an OMCH to the U2000, the base station uses File Transmission Protocol (FTP) to
download software and configuration files from the FTP server. FTP runs over TCP/IP, and therefore its
transport layer can be secured using SSL. For details about FTP, see RFC 959.
After establishing an OMCH to the BSC, the GBTS uses the proprietary protocol that runs over UDP to
download software and configuration files from the BSC.
3.1.2 IPsec Networking Scenario

In IPsec networking scenarios, OMCH data can be secured or not secured by IPsec. Figure
3-3 shows the networking scenario in which IPsec secures OMCH data.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

SingleRAN
Description

Stations
Figure 3-3 Networking scenario in which IPsec secures OMCH data
As shown in Figure 3-3, the network is divided into the trusted domain and the untrusted domain,
which are separated by the SeGW. Devices in the untrusted domain cannot access the devices
in the trusted domain. After a base station starts, it establishes an IPsec tunnel to the SeGW.
Packets from the base station are sent over the IPsec tunnel to pass the untrusted domain and
then forwarded by the SeGW to the U2000 or BSC in the trusted domain.
Figure 3-4 shows the protocol stacks for an OMCH between the eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or
co-MPT multimode base station and the U2000 in IPsec networking scenarios. Figure 3-5 shows
the protocol stacks for an OMCH between the GBTS and the BSC.

SingleRAN
Description

Stations
Figure 3-5 Protocol stacks for an OMCH between the GBTS and the BSC (IPsec networking)
NOTE
The protocol stacks shown in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 apply only to IPsec networking scenarios. Whether
the base station supports IPsec depends on the base station type and the software and hardware pertaining
to the main control board.
IPsec networking is not supported by the following base stations: GBTSs in which the GTMU provides
the transmission port and NodeBs in which the WMPT provides the transmission port.
In IPsec networking scenarios, IPsec secures base station data. IPsec is a security architecture
defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and applicable to the IP layer. IPsec
secures data communication by identity authentication, data encryption, data integrity, and
address encryption. During the automatic OMCH establishment procedure, the base station
establishes an IPsec tunnel to the SeGW and then an OMCH secured by the IPsec tunnel.
The base station uses two types of IP addresses:
l
IP addresses in an untrusted domain:

Interface IP addresses for the base station to communicate with the SeGW. These IP
addresses can be used to access to the SeGW in an untrusted domain.
IP addresses in a trusted domain:

IP addresses for the base station to cmmunicate with the peer end such as the U2000, BSC,
or U2000 with an integrated DHCP server. These IP addresses can be used to access to the
U2000, BSC, or U2000 with an integrated DHCP server.
During site deployment, NEs in the untrusted and trusted domains may communicate with one
another. For example, a base station uses an interface IP address in the untrusted domain to
communicate with the DHCP server in the trusted domain, or the DHCP relay in the untrusted
domain uses the IP address in the untrusted domain to communicate with the DHCP server in
the trusted domain. For details, see 3.3.3 Automatic OMCH Establishment in IPsec
Networking Scenario 1 and 3.3.4 Automatic OMCH Establishment in IPsec Networking
Scenario 2.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

SingleRAN
Description

Stations
The base station uses the interface IP address to access the untrusted domain. Unless otherwise
specified, the base station uses the logical IP address to access the trusted domain.
When using IPsec to secure data and digital certificates to perform identity authentication, an
operator must deploy the PKI. During automatic OMCH establishment, the base station
interworks with the operator's PKI using the Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) and
obtains the operator-issued device certificate and CA root certificate. Then, the base station
establishes an IPsec tunnel to the SeGW as well as the OMCH that the new IPsec tunnel provides
security to. For details about IPsec tunnels, see IPsec Feature Parameter Description for
SingleRAN. For details about digital certificate management, see PKI Feature Parameter
Description for SingleRAN.
If the operator uses IPsec and pre-shared key (PSK) authentication, the base station fails to
automatically establish an OMCH. In this case, you must use other methods to deploy the base
station.
SSL is optional. The U2000 can use SSL to perform encryption and authentication for OMCHs
and enable the establishment of SSL-based OMCHs. SSL uses the PKI, with which the
communication between the base station and the U2000 is protected against eavesdropping and
therefore confidentiality and reliability are guaranteed. For details about SSL, see SSL Feature
Parameter Description.
3.2 Base Station Obtaining Transmission Configuration

Information
3.2.1 Transmission Mode of the OMCH
A base station has two types of transmission ports: E1/T1 ports and Ethernet ports. E1/T1 ports
support TDM, ATM, and IP over E1/T1 transmission modes, and Ethernet ports support IP
transmission mode. No transmission mode is configured on the base station before the OMCH
is established. Therefore, the base station tries different transmission modes over the
transmission ports until the OMCH is successfully established. Different base stations try
different transmission modes in polling mode:
l
eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, and co-MPT multimode base station: IP over FE/GE, ATM, and
then IP over E1/T1
GBTS: TDM, IP over E1/T1, and then IP over FE/GE
3.2.2 Physical Layer Detection

A base station negotiates with a peer transmission device about the duplex mode and data rate
for an Ethernet port on the physical layer. The peer transmission device can work in autonegotiation or full duplex mode.
If an E1/T1 port is available on the physical layer, an eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or co-MPT
multimode base station attempts to set the working mode of a detection port to E1/T1 mode, and
users can set the working mode of a detection port to E1/T1 mode for a GBTS by using the
related DIP switch.

3.2.3 Data Link Layer Detection

IP over FE/GE Transmission
A base station obtains the VLANs used by the data link layer through the VLAN acquisition
process. For details, see section 3.2.8 Schemes for Obtaining VLAN Information for DHCP
Packets.
IP over E1/T1 Transmission

You can learn that a base station works in E1 or T1 mode from physical layer detection. The
base station supports PPP/MP detection on E1/T1 timeslot combinations. Table 3-1 and Table
3-2 describe the E1 and T1 timeslot combinations, respectively. Note that PPP is short for Pointto-Point Protocol and MP is short for Multilink Protocol.

3.2.4 DHCP Overview

Introduction
Before an OMCH is established, a base station is not configured with any data and cannot
perform end-to-end communication with other devices at the IP layer. To implement this
communication, the base station needs to obtain the following information:
l
OMCH configuration data, including the OM IP address, OM VLAN ID, interface IP

address, interface IP address mask, IP address of the next-hop gateway, IP address of the
U2000 or BSC, and IP address mask of the U2000 or BSC.
During base station deployment by PnP, if the base station needs to use digital certificates
issued by the operator's CA to perform identity authentication with other devices, it also
needs to obtain the operator's CA information, including the CA name, CA address, CA
port number, CA path, and transmission protocol (HTTP or https) used by the CA.
In IPsec networking scenarios, the base station also needs to obtain SeGW information,
including the SeGW IP address and SeGW local name.
The base station uses DHCP to obtain the preceding information. DHCP is used to allocate and
distribute configuration parameters and adopts the client/server mode. The DHCP procedure
involves the following logical NEs:
l
DHCP client: a host that uses DHCP to obtain configuration parameters
DHCP server: a host that allocates and distributes configuration parameters to a DHCP
client

DHCP relay agent: an NE that transmits DHCP packets between a DHCP server and a
DHCP client. A DHCP relay client must be deployed between a DHCP server and a DHCP
client that are in different broadcast domains.
After a DHCP client accesses the network, it actively exchanges DHCP packets with its DHCP
server to obtain configuration parameters. During the exchange, the DHCP server and the DHCP
relay agent listen to DHCP packets in which the destination UDP port number is 67, and the
DHCP client listens to DHCP packets in which the destination UDP port number is 68.
DHCP Interworking
When a DHCP client and a DHCP server are in the same broadcast domain, they can receive
broadcast packets from each other. Figure 3-6 shows the interworking between the DHCP client
and DHCP server that are in the same broadcast domain.
Figure 3-6 DHCP interworking between the DHCP client and DHCP server that are in the same
broadcast domain
1.
After the DHCP client starts, it broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER packet to search for an
available DHCP server. The DHCPDISCOVER packet carries the identification
information about the DHCP client.
2.
The DHCP server responds to the DHCPDISCOVER packet with a DHCPOFFER packet.
3.
The DHCP client sends a DHCPREQUEST packet to the DHCP server, requesting
parameters such as an IP address.
4.
The DHCP server sends a DHCPACK packet to the DHCP client to assign parameters such
as an IP address.
5.
If the assigned parameters cannot be used, for example, an assigned IP address has been
used by other DHCP clients, the DHCP client sends a DHCPDECLINE packet to notify
the DHCP server.
6.
If the DHCP client does not need the assigned parameters any more, it sends a
DHCPRELEASE packet to notify the DHCP server so that the DHCP server can assign
these parameters to other DHCP clients.

When the DHCP client and DHCP server are not in the same broadcast domain, they cannot
receive broadcast packets from each other. In this case, the DHCP relay agent function
must be enabled in the broadcast domain of the DHCP client to ensure the communication
between the DHCP client and DHCP server. Generally, the DHCP relay agent function is
enabled on the gateway. When the DHCP relay agent function is enabled, the IP address
of the corresponding DHCP server must be configured so that the DHCP relay agent can
forward the DHCP packets from the DHCP client to the correct DHCP server. Figure
3-7 shows the interworking between the DHCP client and DHCP server that are not in the
same broadcast domain.

The actual length and sequence of each field in a DHCP packet in software implementation may be different

In a DHCP packet, the IP and UDP headers are in the standard format, and the DHCP header
contains the DHCP control and configuration information. In the DHCP header, the fields related
to automatic OMCH establishment are as follows:
l
yiaddr: This field carries the interface IP address of the base station.
giaddr: This field carries the IP address of the DHCP relay agent.
Option fields: They are encoded in code-length-value (CLV) format and consist of many
subcodes. Among them, Option 43 carries Huawei proprietary information elements (IEs)
and most configuration information of the base station. For example, subcode 1 in Option
43 carries the electronic serial number (ESN) of the Huawei base station. For details about
subcodes of Option43, see Table 3-7.

NOTE
The DHCP server and the U2000 are different logical communication entities, although they may be
deployed on the same hardware. Therefore, this document distinguishes between the DHCP server and the
U2000.
If the DHCP server is deployed on the base station controller, the base station can be on the same L2
network as the base station controller. If the DHCP server is deployed on the U2000, the base station cannot
be on the same L2 network as the U2000. For security reasons, the U2000's operating system can process
only DHCP unicast packets, not DHCP broadcast packets
From SRAN8.0 onwards, if single-mode base stations or separate-MPT multimode base stations
evolve to co-MPT multimode base stations, their DHCP servers must migrate to the U2000.
Even if the evolution is not implemented, the migration is recommended, because it provides
better function support and paves the way to future smooth upgrades and evolutions.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

SingleRAN
Description

Stations
When the base station is not on the same L2 network as the DHCP server, a DHCP relay agent
must be deployed. Pay attention to the following when deploying a DHCP relay agent:
l
When a next-hop gateway of the base station is deployed on the transport network, the
DHCP relay agent function must be enabled and the U2000 DHCP server IP address must
be configured on the next-hop gateway of the base station.
If the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is deployed on the next-hop
gateway, configure the VRRP's virtual IP address as the IP address of the DHCP relay
agent.
If the base station is a GBTS, run the SET BTSIP command. In this step, set
BTSGWIPSWITCH to ON and NEXTHOP to the IP address of the base station's nexthop gateway.
When the base station is on the same L2 network as the base station controller, DHCP
packets pass through the base station controller, and the U2000 serves as the DHCP server
for the base station (for example, eGBTS or NodeB), this base station controller can be
deployed as the DHCP relay agent. If the DHCP relay agent function is enabled on a certain
port of the base station controller, this port serves as the DHCP relay agent for all eGBTSs
and NodeBs connected to this port. The ADD DHCPRLY command can be used to enable
the DHCP relay agent function on a port of the base station controller. In this command:
DHCPRLYID(BSC6910,BSC6900) indicates the identity of a DHCP relay agent.
DHCPRLYGATEWAYIP(BSC6900,BSC6910) indicates the interface IP address of
the base station controller.
DHCPSRVISEMSIP(BSC6900,BSC6910) indicates whether the U2000 that manages
the base station controller serves as the DHCP server for the base station. If not, the
DHCP server IP address of the base station (the DHCPSRVIP1(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter) also needs to be configured.
DHCPPID is used to enable or disable the DHCP relay agent function only on
BSC6900s. The base station controller serves as the DHCP server for the base station
by default. You can select the OTHERSWITCH check box under the DHCPPID
parameter to enable the DHCP relay agent function for the base station.
A few MML command examples are as follows:
//Enabling the DHCP relay agent function on the base station controller when
the U2000 that manages this base station controller is the DHCP server for
the base station
ADD DHCPRLY: DHCPRLYID=1, DHCPRLYGATEWAYIP="10.1.1.1",
DHCPPID=OTHERSWITCH-1, DHCPSRVISEMSIP=Yes;
//Enabling the DHCP relay agent function on the base station controller when
the U2000 that manages this base station controller is not the DHCP server
for the base station and the DHCP server IP address of the base station is
10.0.0.1
ADD DHCPRLY: DHCPRLYID=1, DHCPRLYGATEWAYIP="10.1.1.1",
DHCPPID=OTHERSWITCH-1, DHCPSRVISEMSIP=No, DHCPSRVIP1="10.0.0.1";
NOTE
Whether the base station controller can serve as the DHCP server or DHCP relay agent depends on the
base station type.
l For GBTSs, the base station controller can only serve as the DHCP relay server.
l For NodeBs, the base station controller can serve as both the DHCP server and DHCP relay agent.
l For other types of base stations, such as the eGBTS and co-MPT multimode base station, the base
station controller can only serve as the DHCP relay agent.

DHCP relay agent function must be enabled and the DHCP server IP address of the lowerlevel base station must be configured on the upper-level base station.
If the upper-level base station is an eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or co-MPT multimode
base station, run the SET DHCPRELAYSWITCH command with ES set to
ENABLE to enable the DHCP relay agent function. Then, run the ADD
DHCPSVRIP command with DHCPSVRIP set to the DHCP server IP address of the
lower-level base station. A maximum of four DHCP server IP addresses can be
configured. A few MML command examples are as follows:
//Enabling the DHCP relay agent function on the upper-level base station
SET DHCPRELAYSWITCH: ES=ENABLE;
//Setting the DHCP server IP address to 10.19.19.11. Each DHCP broadcast
packet will be forwarded to all DHCP servers.
ADD DHCPSVRIP: DHCPSVRIP="10.19.19.11";
If the upper-level base station is a GBTS, run the ADD BTSDHCPSVRIP command
with DHCPSRV set to the IP address of the lower-level base station's DHCP server. A
few MML command examples are as follows: For the eGBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or coMPT multimode base station:
ADD BTSDHCPSVRIP: IDTYPE=BYID, BTSID=20, DHCPSRV="10.100.10.10";
In base station cascading scenarios, the upper-level base station attempts to use its OM IP
address and lower port IP address as the DHCP relay agent IP addresses.
In backplane co-transmission scenarios, the upper-level base station attempts to use its OM
IP address and upper transmission port's interface IP address as the DHCP relay agent IP
adddress. Note that the upper transmission port's interface IP address is on the same network
as the next-hop IP address of the DHCP server IP address.
For details about configuration requirements, see Table 3-27.
l
A base station can serve as the DHCP relay agent for other base stations in the same L2
network. In this case, the DHCP relay agent function must be enabled and the DHCP server
IP addresses of the other base stations must be configured on the base station in question.
The enabling and configuring methods for this base station is the same as those for an upperlevel base station.
Cascaded base stations cannot exceed four levels on the chain topology because DHCP
packets will be discarded if the number of DHCP relay agents is greater than four in the
transport network.
3.2.6 DHCP Procedure

Base Station Identification
Upon receiving a DHCP packet from a base station, the DHCP server finds and sends related
configuration information to the base station based on the base station identification (BS ID)
contained in the DHCP packet.
The U2000 that matches SRAN8.0 or a later version uses the combination of the ESN and slot
number or the combination of the deployment identifier (DID), subrack topology, and slot
number as the BS ID.
Base station controllers and U2000s that match versions earlier than SRAN8.0 use the
combination of the ESN and NE type or the combination of the DID and NE type as the BS ID.
The details about each element in the combinations are as follows:
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

21
SingleRAN
Description

Stations
ESN identifies the baseband unit (BBU) backplane of the base station. Each backplane has
a unique ESN. The ESN is reported by the base station.
Deployment ID (DID) is the site identifier planned by the operator. DID is scanned into
the base station using a barcode scanner connected to the USB port of the main control
board during base station deployment. After being scanned into the base station, the DID
is broadcast in all BBUs. All main control boards will record the DID and use it as the BS
ID in the DHCP procedure.
Subrack topology identifies the interconnection relationship between BBU subracks that
are interconnected. The combination of the DID and subrack topology uniquely identifies
a BBU subrack.
Slot number identifies the number of the slot that accommodates the main control board.
The slot number is used to differentiate main control boards in a BBU subrack. If the base
station is configured with active and standby main control boards, the slot number is that
of the active main control board. The slot number is reported by the base station.
NE type indicates whether the base station works in the GSM, UMTS, or LTE mode.
When creating a base station commissioning task by PnP, operators must specify the ESN if the
U2000 uses the combination of the ESN and slot number as the BS ID. The DID must be included
in the base station configuration file if the U2000 uses the combination of the subrack topology
and slot number as the BS ID.
NOTE
In some networking scenarios, such as IPsec networking scenario 1, it is not recommended that the public
DHCP server deliver the transmission configuration based on the BS ID.
A combination of the DID, subrack topology, and slot number can be used as the BS ID only if the
transmission port of the base station is an Ethernet port and the DHCP server of the base station is deployed
on the U2000.

Procedure for Obtaining Configuration Information with No DHCP Relay Agent
A DHCP client and a DHCP server on the same Layer 2 (L2) network can directly communicate
with each other. The L2 network is a subnet in which broadcast IP packets can be exchanged
and forwarded by Media Access Control (MAC) addresses and VLAN IDs. An example is the
Ethernet or a VLAN of the Ethernet.

Procedure for Obtaining Configuration Information with a DHCP Relay Agent

If a DHCP server is not deployed on the L2 network of a DHCP client, a DHCP relay agent must
be installed on the next-hop gateway of the DHCP client to forward DHCP packets. The DHCP
relay agent must be on the same L2 network as the DHCP client, and the DHCP server must be
on the Layer 3 (L3) network in which packets are forwarded by IP addresses.
Figure 3-10 shows the procedure for a base station to obtain configuration information from a
DHCP server when a DHCP relay agent is deployed.
Figure 3-10 Procedure for obtaining configuration information with a DHCP relay agent
The procedure is as follows: The DHCP relay agent converts DHCP packets broadcast by the
base station to unicast packets and routes the unicast packets to the DHCP server. The DHCP
server sends unicast response packets to the DHCP relay agent, which then broadcasts received
response packets on the L2 network.

In IPsec networking scenarios, a DHCP server in the trusted domain can be secured or not secured

domain must be deployed. Figure 3-11 shows the OMCH networking in this scenario.

The base station exchanges DHCP packets with a public DHCP server to obtain
information, such as the interface IP address for accessing the untrusted domain and the
SeGW IP address. The base station also needs to obtain the CA IP address because digital
24
SingleRAN
Description

Stations
certificates are required for identity authentication with the SeGW. This procedure is
referred to as the first DHCP procedure.
2.
The base station negotiates with the SeGW on the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) security
association (SA) and IPsec SA, and then establishes an IPsec tunnel. Because digital
certificates are required for identity authentication with the SeGW, the base station must
apply to the CA for digital certificates that can be identified by the SeGW.
3.
The base station exchanges DHCP packets with its U2000 DHCP server to obtain the OM
IP address used for accessing the trusted domain. This procedure is referred to as the second
DHCP procedure. The second DHCP procedure varies depending on IPsec networking
scenarios. For details, see section "Obtaining Formal Transmission Configuration
Information from the Internal DHCP Server".
During the first DHCP procedure, the public DHCP server runs DHCP. It may not support
Huawei-defined DHCP Option fields and fail to identify the BS ID reported by the base station.
If this occurs, the public DHCP server selects an IP address from the IP address pool and sends
it to the base station. During the second DHCP procedure, the U2000 DHCP server sends
configuration parameters to the base station based on the BS ID reported by the base station.
Procedure for Releasing Allocated Configuration Information

When a base station obtains configuration information from its U2000 DHCP server and does
not need configuration information allocated by a public DHCP server, the base station sends a
DHCPRELEASE message to the public DHCP server. After receiving the DHCPRELEASE
message, the public DHCP server can redistribute allocated configuration information to other
NEs. Figure 3-13 shows the procedure for releasing allocated configuration information.
Figure 3-13 Procedure for releasing allocated configuration information
NOTE
In addition to the preceding procedures, DHCP also supports the procedure for updating configuration
information. However, base stations in SRAN8.0 do not support the procedure for updating configuration
information.
3.2.7 Automatic DHCP Data Synchronization

Before you use Automatic OMCH Establishment, ensure that correct DHCP data of a base station
is available on the U2000 DHCP server. Any manual modifications to a base station's
transmission configuration data may change its DHCP data on the U2000. In earlier versions,
users have to manually ensure that the DHCP data on the U2000 DHCP server is correct before
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

25
SingleRAN
Description

Stations
the next automatic OMCH establishment procedure starts. As manual data check is a complex
and error-prone process, the automatic DHCP data synchronization function is introduced in this
version.
After the base station is deployed, the system automatically synchronizes manual modifications
to the transmission configuration data in the base station configuration file with the U2000 DHCP
server. This ensures the configuration information consistency between the U2000 DHCP server
and the base station. For manual modifications on a single base station, the system starts data
synchronization 10 minutes after the last manual data modification and completes the
synchronization within 5 minutes. For manual modifications on a number of base stations, the
system starts data synchronization for every 200 base stations as a batch and completes each
batch's synchronization within less than or equal to 30 minutes. DHCP data must be manually
modified on the U2000 GUI.
However, the automatic DHCP data synchronization function does not support automatic
synchronization of the NE name, NE type, ESN, and working mode because they identify a
specific NE.
In addition, this function does not support automatic synchronization of Security Gateway
Emergency Bypass because it must be manually configured.
Automatic DHCP data synchronization supports synchronization of other information on the
U2000 DHCP server. Before starting automatic DHCP data synchronization, ensure that the
related NE data exists in the current data area on the CME.
3.2.8 Schemes for Obtaining VLAN Information for DHCP Packets

Overview
Packets sent by a base station on a VLAN-based network must carry the VLAN ID. Before an
OMCH is established, that is, before the base station sends the first DHCP packet, the base station
must learn VLAN information after it starts. After learning VLAN information by parsing
received Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets with VLAN IDs, the base station delivers
DHCP packets with VLAN IDs and interworks with DHCP servers to obtain transmission
configuration information. The procedure for obtaining VLAN information is as follows:
1.
Once the DHCP function is enabled on the base station, the base station starts the VLAN
acquisition process. With VLAN acquisition, the base station actively acquires VLAN IDs
of all received ARP packets and records these VLAN IDs in a PnP VLAN-ID table.
2.
The base station sends DHCP packets without VLAN IDs or DHCP packets with VLAN
IDs set to 0.
3.
The base station waits 20s. If the base station receives a DHCPOFFER packet within 20s,
it exits the DHCP procedure and enters the subsequent PnP deployment procedure.
Otherwise, the base station goes to the next step.
4.
The base station checks the PnP VLAN-ID table and tries to use all acquired VLAN IDs
to send DHCP packets. After that, if the base station receives a valid DHCPOFFER packet,
it exits the DHCP procedure and enters the subsequent PnP deployment procedure.
5.
When the preceding steps fail:

l If the base station has only one transmission port, the base station repeats the preceding
steps on this port.

Using scheme 4
If a base station is deployed by PnP, the scheme for obtaining VLAN information varies
depending on whether IPsec secures OMCH data and the capability of NEs:
l
If IPsec does not secure OMCH data, scheme 1 is used:

The U2000 or BSC actively and periodically sends OMCH establishment requests to the
base station. After receiving the requests, the next-hop gateway of the base station sends
ARP packets to the base station. The base station then records VLAN IDs derived from
ARP packets and includes recorded VLAN IDs in DHCP packets.
If IPsec secures OMCH data, any of the following schemes is used:

Scheme 1
Scheme 2: The DHCP server on the U2000 periodically sends the base station empty
DHCPOFFER packets (containing DHCP headers only) with the destination IP address
set to the interface IP address of the base station. This enables the next-hop gateway of
the base station to send ARP packets, from which the base station derives VLAN
information.
Scheme 3: The base station sends DHCP packets with no VLAN ID, and the L2 network
attaches a VLAN ID to DHCP packets sent by the base station. Therefore, the base
station does not need to acquire VLAN information.
Scheme 4: The next-hop gateway of the base station or other NEs periodically send
packets to the base station or an idle address of the subnet in which the base station is

Enabling and Disabling the VLAN Scanning Function

In SRAN7.0, the VLAN scanning function is provided for eNodeBs to solve the problem that
base stations cannot acquire VLAN IDs in secure networking scenarios. After the VLAN
scanning function is enabled, the base station tries to send DHCP packets with random VLAN
IDs if it does not receive a response after sending DHCP packets without a VLAN ID and DHCP
packets with acquired VLAN IDs.
After the VLAN scanning function is enabled, some DHCP packets with invalid VLAN IDs
may be broadcast. In scenarios where different VLANs are not isolated, VLAN scanning imposes
great impacts on the network. Therefore, this function is disabled for base stations of SRAN8.0
or a later version by default. For base stations upgraded from SRAN7.0 to SRAN8.0 or later,
you can run the SET DHCPSW command to enable or disable this function locally or remotely.
Here are a few example MML commands:
//Enabling the VLAN scanning function
SET DHCPSW: SWITCH=ENABLE; VLANSCANSW=ENABLE;
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

33
SingleRAN
Description

Stations
//Disabling the VLAN scanning function

SET DHCPSW: SWITCH=ENABLE; VLANSCANSW=DISABLE;
NOTE
When the OMCH and service channels are disconnected, the SET DHCPSW command is used to
determine whether to start the DHCP procedure automatically to obtain the initial configuration information
or to restore the base station configuration. The SWITCH parameter indicates whether to enable the
function of starting the DHCP procedure automatically. The VLANSCANSW parameter indicates whether
to enable the VLAN scanning function when the base station sends DHCP packets.
Saving VLAN IDs

From SRAN8.0 onwards, VLAN IDs that are used for a successful DHCP procedure can be
saved. Upon receiving a DHCP-ACK message, the base station saves VLAN IDs that are used
for the DHCP procedure. A maximum of eight VLAN IDs can be saved. When saving a new
VLAN ID if eight VLAN IDs have already been saved, the new VLAN ID will replace the
earliest VLAN ID.
The base station can use the saved and learned VLAN IDs to send DHCP packets when
reinitiating a DHCP procedure during or after deployment of the base station.
The saved VLAN IDs will be automatically cleared after the base station experiences a poweroff reset.
3.3 Automatic OMCH Establishment by the Single-mode

Base Station and Co-MPT Multimode Base Station
3.3.1 Overview
This chapter describes the automatic OMCH establishment procedures implemented by the
single-mode base station and co-MPT multimode base station in IPsec or non-IPsec networking
scenarios, and the procedures' requirements for NEs. In IPsec networking scenarios, the network
is divided into the untrusted domain and the trusted domain. Depending on NE distribution in
the untrusted domain and the trusted domain, IPsec networking scenarios are classified as
follows:
l
Scenario 1: IPsec secures OMCH data and DHCP packets.
Scenario 2: IPsec secures OMCH data, but not DHCP packets.
Scenario 3: IPsec secure service data, signaling data, all or some of the other data, but not
OMCH data or DHCP packets.
Automatic OMCH establishment may fail if the peer equipment is not ready or the configuration
of the base station, transmission equipment, or peer equipment is incorrect. In this case, the base
station initiates another DHCP procedure to obtain the configuration and then starts automatic
OMCH establishment again.

Description

Stations
After a base station commissioning task by PnP task is created on the U2000, the U2000
periodically sends an SSL-based or plaintext-based OMCH establishment request to the
base station. After an NE is created on the BSC, the BSC periodically sends a plaintextbased OMCH establishment request to the base station. In the request, the source IP address
is the IP address of the U2000 or BSC and the destination IP address is the OM IP address
of the base station. After the next-hop gateway of the base station receives the request, it
broadcasts ARP packets to the base station to obtain the MAC address mapping the interface
IP address of the base station.
NOTE
l The next-hop gateway of the base station broadcasts ARP packets each time it receives a TCP
connection request sent periodically by the U2000.
l If the Use SSL option on the U2000 is selected, the U2000 periodically sends an SSL-based
OMCH establishment request to the base station. For the automatic OMCH establishment
procedure in this scenario, see the "SSL Authentication on the OMCH" section.
If this option is not selected, the U2000 periodically sends a plaintext-based OMCH establishment
request to the base station.
l During a DHCP procedure, a DHCP response packet sent by the U2000 contains the target RAT
for the base station. Upon detecting an inconsistency between the current and target RATs, the
base station changes its current RAT and then restarts. Afterwards, the base station reinitiates a
DHCP procedure.
2.
The base station obtains VLAN information. For details, see section "3.2.8 Schemes for
Obtaining VLAN Information for DHCP Packets."
3.
The base station first sends DHCP packets with no VLAN ID and then DHCP packets with
VLAN IDs. By exchanging DHCP packets with its next-hop gateway and DHCP server,
the base station obtains the OMCH configuration data and validates the data.
4.
The base station responds to the OMCH establishment request from the U2000 or BSC and
then establishes an OMCH to the U2000 or BSC.
NOTE
If the OMCH fails to be established, the base station automatically restarts the automatic OMCH establishment
procedure.
Configuration Requirements for the DHCP Server

The DHCP server of a base station must be configured with the following: A route to the IP
address of the DHCP relay agent. Parameters to be used during the DHCP procedure. These
parameters are contained in the DHCP packet headers, Option fields defined by RFC 2132, and
subcodes of Option 43 defined by Huawei. Table 3-5 lists the parameters to be contained in the
DHCP packet headers. Table 3-6 describes common Option fields. Table 3-7 provides subcode

SSL Authentication on the OMCH

If an OMCH uses SSL authentication, the base station must obtain an operator-issued device
certificate before establishing the OMCH with the U2000. Figure 3-21 shows the automatic
OMCH establishment procedure in this scenario.
Figure 3-21 Automatic OMCH establishment procedure
1.
After a PnP-based commissioning task is created on the U2000, the U2000 periodically
sends SSL-based OMCH establishment requests to the base station.
The source and destination IP addresses of the request packets are the IP address of the
U2000 and the O&M IP address of the base station, respectively.
Upon receiving the requests, the next-hop gateway of the base station sends ARP broadcast
packets to the base station to parse the MAC address corresponding to the interface IP
address of the base station.
2.
The base station obtains VLAN information.

For details, see section "3.2.8 Schemes for Obtaining VLAN Information for DHCP
Packets."
3.
The base station attempts to first send DHCP packets without VLAN IDs and then DHCP
packets with VLAN IDs. By exchanging the DHCP packets with the DHCP server, the base
station obtains OMCH configurations and makes them take effect.
4.
Based on the CA information obtained from the DHCP server, the base station applies for
an operator-issued device certificate from the CA. For details, see the "Obtaining an
Operator-Issued Device Certificate" section.

In response to the OMCH establishment requests from the U2000, the base station performs
mutual authentication with the U2000 using the obtained device certificate. After the
authentication is successful, an OMCH is established between them.
In this scenario, the U2000 DHCP server delivers configurations to the base station. The
configurations include those described in the "Configuration Requirements for the DHCP
Server" section and CA information described in Table 3-8.

Obtaining an Operator-Issued Device Certificate

After obtaining the interface IP address and CA information, the base station generates a
certificate request file. The base station then uses this certificate request file to apply for an
operator-issued device certificate from the CA (obtained through the DHCP procedure) based
on CMPv2.
During the certificate application, the CA authenticates the base station by verifying its Huaweiissued device certificate. Before delivery, Huawei base stations are preconfigured with Huaweiissued device certificates, which are deployed on the UMPT and the LMPT (available from
SRAN7.0 onwards). During the certification application, the base station provides the CA with
Huawei-issued device certificates as its identity. The CA is also preconfigured with the Huawei
root certificate.
Before the certificate application, the base station obtains from the DHCP server partial
configuration data (such as the URL of the CA and the CA name) rather than the configuration
file. Therefore, the base station uses the default parameters described in Table 3-9 to complete
the certificate application. The base station cannot contain parameters other than those listed in
the table during the certification application or in the certificate request files.

A public DHCP server and an U2000 DHCP server are deployed in the untrusted domain
and the trusted domain, respectively. The base station obtains from the public DHCP server
the transmission configuration information required for establishing a temporary IPsec
tunnel to the SeGW and obtains from the U2000 DHCP server the formal transmission

53
SingleRAN
Description

Stations
The base station in the untrusted domain cannot directly access NEs in the trusted domain.
Instead, packets from the base station must be encrypted over the IPsec tunnel to the SeGW
before being transmitted to the U2000 or BSC in the trusted domain.
A CA is deployed. During base station deployment, the CA is accessible through IP

addresses of NEs in the untrusted domain (for example, the interface IP address of the base
station).
After the base station starts, it must apply to the CA for operator-issued digital certificates
before connecting to the SeGW. After obtaining the certificates, the base station negotiates
with the SeGW to establish an IPsec tunnel.

In IPsec networking scenario 1, the base station obtains configuration information as follows:
1.
The base station obtains the following information from the public DHCP server:
l Temporary interface IP address used for accessing NEs in the untrusted domain.
l Configuration information used for establishing a temporary IPsec tunnel to the SeGW.
The configuration information includes the SeGW configuration data and the CA
configuration data.
2.
The base station obtains digital certificates from the CA.
3.
After establishing the temporary IPsec tunnel, the base station obtains the formal interface
IP address and other OMCH configuration data from the U2000 DHCP server and then
establishes a formal IPsec tunnel. The obtained information is used for accessing NEs in
the trusted domain and referred to as formal transmission configuration information in this
document.
The interface IP address obtained from the public DHCP server can be the same as or different
from that obtained from the U2000 DHCP server.

Description

Stations
1.
2.
Using the DHCP procedure, the base station obtains from the public DHCP server the
transmission configuration information used for establishing a temporary IPsec tunnel. The
information includes the interface IP address of the base station, CA configuration data,
SeGW configuration data, and U2000 DHCP server IP address. For details about the
configuration information on the public DHCP server, see section "Configuration
Requirements for the DHCP Server."
3.
Using CMPv2, the base station applies to the CA for an operator-issued device certificate.
(For details about the certificate application procedure, see the "Obtaining an OperatorIssued Device Certificate" section.) The base station then adds the obtained certificate to
the default trusted certificate list for subsequent IPsec tunnel establishment and SSL
authentication.
4.
The base station establishes a temporary IPsec tunnel to the SeGW. For details about the
security parameters used by the base station during the temporary IPsec tunnel
establishment, see section "Establishing a Temporary IPsec Tunnel."
5.
With protection from the temporary IPsec tunnel, the base station obtains formal
transmission configuration information from the U2000 DHCP server in different ways,
depending on whether the IP address used for accessing the trusted domain and the U2000
DHCP server IP address are available. For details, see section "Obtaining Formal
Transmission Configuration Information from the Internal DHCP Server."
6.
The base station releases the temporary IPsec tunnel and uses formal transmission
configuration information to establish a formal IPsec tunnel to the SeGW. For details, see
section "Establishing a Temporary IPsec Tunnel."
7.
After the formal IPsec tunnel is established, the base station waits for the OMCH
establishment request from the U2000/BSC and then establishes an OMCH to the U2000/
BSC. If an OMCH is not established between the U2000/BSC and base station within 10
minutes, the base station restarts the automatic OMCH establishment procedure. Because
the base station has obtained the operator-issued device certificate, SSL authentication is
supported between the U2000 and base station.
NOTE
During a DHCP procedure, a DHCP response packet sent by the U2000 contains the target RAT for
the base station. Upon detecting an inconsistency between the current and target RATs, the base
station changes its current RAT and then restarts. Afterwards, the base station reinitiates a DHCP
procedure.
If any steps except step 1 fail during the automatic OMCH establishment procedure, the base station
automatically restarts the automatic OMCH establishment procedure.
IPsec Redundancy Among Multiple SeGWs is not supported during base station deployment by PnP
when multiple SeGWs are configured. The active SeGW must work properly during base station
deployment by PnP.
Configuration Requirements for the Public DHCP Server

The public DHCP server must be configured with the parameters listed in Table 3-11 as well
as a route whose destination IP address is the IP address of the base station or whose destination
network segment is the network segment of the base station. Unless otherwise specified, these
parameters are contained in subcodes of Option 43 in DHCP packets.

All IP addresses or URLs listed in Table 3-11 except Internal DHCP Server IP Address
(List) can be used only in the untrusted domain. Particularly, NEs in the untrusted domain must
have access to the CA IP address and the CA URL. If the base station cannot access the CA, it
cannot obtain any operator-issued certificate.
NOTE
In IPsec networking scenario 1, the public DHCP server assigns an interface IP address in the IP address
pool to the base station, without parsing the BS ID contained in Option 43. Therefore, the BS ID contained
in DHCP packets is meaningless in such a scenario.
Obtaining an Operator-Issued Device Certificate

The base station generates a certificate request file after it obtains a temporary IP address and
CA information. The base station then uses this certificate request file to apply for an operatorissued device certificate from the CA (obtained through the DHCP procedure) based on CMPv2.
Before the certificate application, the base station obtains from the DHCP server partial
configuration data (such as the URL of the CA and the CA name) rather than the configuration
file. The default parameters for certificate application are the same as those listed in Table
3-9 except for those listed in Table 3-12.

Description

Stations
In addition to the operator-issued device certificate, the base station also obtains the root
certificate of the CA. The base station then uses both certificates to perform mutual
authentication with the SeGW on the operator's network. After the authentication is successful,
the base station and SeGW establish an IPsec tunnel, through which the base station accesses
the internal DHCP server and the U2000 in the trusted domain.
Establishing a Temporary IPsec Tunnel

After the base station obtains the transmission configuration information (including its interface
IP address, the SeGW IP address, and the CA IP address) from the public DHCP server, the base
station obtains digital certificates from the CA and attempts to establish a temporary IPsec tunnel
to the SeGW. For details about the temporary IPsec tunnel establishment, see IPsec Feature
Parameter Description. This section describes the IPsec and IKE proposal algorithms used by
the base station during deployment by PnP.
IKEv1 and IKEv2 are incompatible. During base station deployment by PnP, the base station
cannot predict the IKE version used by the SeGW. If the base station successfully negotiated an
IKE version with the SeGW, the base station preferentially tries this IKE version. Otherwise,
the base station tries IKEv2 before IKEv1.
IKE SA Negotiation
During IKE SA negotiation in the normal operation of the base station, the base station supports
a large number of algorithm groups. However, during base station deployment by PnP, the base
station only supports the 48 algorithm groups (see Table 3-13) in the IKEv2 proposal and the
120 algorithm groups (see Table 3-14) in the IKEv1 proposal.
NOTE
The number of algorithm groups in the IKEv2 proposal is calculated as follows: Encryption Algorithm has
four values, Authentication Algorithm has two values, Diffie-Hellman Group has three values, and PRF
Algorithm has two values. Therefore, the number of algorithm groups in the IKEv2 proposal is 48 (4 x 2
x 3 x 2).
The number of algorithm groups in the IKEv1 proposal is calculated in the same way as that in
the IKEv2 proposal.

To establish a temporary IPsec tunnel, the base station preferentially tries the five algorithm
groups listed in Table 3-14 in sequence. If this fails, the base station tries the other groups until
it establishes an IPsec tunnel. If all the supported algorithm groups fail, the base station obtains
transmission configuration from the public DHCP server again to set up a temporary IPsec tunnel
and then restarts an IKE SA negotiation.
IKEv2 proposal algorithms should be configured in the sequence shown in Table 3-15.
Otherwise, the IKEv2 negotiation may fail. To increase the deployment success rate and shorten
the deployment duration, it is recommended that IKEv2 proposal algorithms in configuration
files of the base station follow the configurations listed in Table 3-15.

IPsec SA Negotiation
During IPsec SA negotiation in the normal operation of the base station, the base station supports
ESP and AH authentication in tunnel or transport mode. However, during base station
deployment by PnP, the base station only supports ESP authentication in tunnel mode.
During IPsec SA negotiation in the normal operation of the base station, the base station supports
multiple IPsec proposal algorithm groups. However, during base station deployment by PnP,
the base station supports only the encryption and authentication algorithm groups listed in Figure
3-24. It first tries the six algorithm groups marked in green. If this fails, it tries the six algorithm
groups marked in gray. Once IKE negotiation is successful using an algorithm group, the base
station applies this algorithm group.
The base station tries IKE version and algorithm groups in the following priority sequence:
1.
IKEv2 and algorithm groups marked in green
2.
IKEv2 and algorithm groups marked in gray
3.
IKEv1 and algorithm groups marked in green
4.
IKEv1 and algorithm groups marked in gray

NOTE
During base station deployment by PnP, the base station does not try all supported IPsec and IKE proposal
algorithms (such as the DES algorithm) when establishing an IPsec tunnel. This is because trying all
supported combinations of security parameters may take a long time.
During base station deployment by PnP, the base station must use tunnel mode instead of transfer mode as
the encapsulation mode when establishing an IPsec tunnel. This is because the U2000, BSC, DHCP server,
and FTP server do not support IPsec.
During base station deployment by PnP, the base station does not try the perfect forward secrecy (PFS).
If the IPsec and IKE proposal algorithms and their settings on the base station or SeGW side are
inconsistent with those tried during base station deployment by PnP, OMCH establishment may
fail, leading to deployment failures. Therefore, ensure there is consistency between the
parameters and settings.
Configuration Requirements for the Internal DHCP Server

The U2000 DHCP server must be configured with the parameters listed in Table 3-7 as well as

information. Using the MODE-CONFIG mode during IKE negotiation, the base station can
obtain one temporary logical IP address used for accessing the trusted domain and one U2000
DHCP server IP address. The base station can obtain one U2000 DHCP server IP address at
most.
NOTE
In IKEv1, CP is not standardized and is referred to as MODE-CONFIG, which is supported only by the
base station in aggressive mode. For details about the MODE-CONFIG, see RFC4306 Internet Key

68
SingleRAN
Description

Stations
The DHCP server can be deployed only on the U2000, not the base station controller. That
is, the U2000 DHCP server is used.
The base station may obtain IP addresses of many DHCP servers. Therefore, it needs to
communicate with each DHCP server to find the correct DHCP server. IPsec secures
OMCH data.
Therefore, among the configuration information sent by the U2000 DHCP server to the
base station, the SeGW IP address is mandatory and the local name of the SeGW is optional.
The local name of the SeGW is used to authenticate the SeGW.
Establishing a Formal IPsec Tunnel

The SeGW IP address obtained from the U2000 DHCP server may or may not be the same as
the SeGW IP address obtained from the public DHCP server. In either case, the base station
needs to negotiate an IKE SA and an IPsec SA with the SeGW before establishing a formal
tunnel to the SeGW. The SeGW is identified by the SeGW IP address in the configuration
information from the U2000 DHCP server.
The procedure for establishing a formal IPsec tunnel differs from the procedure for establishing
a temporary IPsec tunnel as follows:
l
The base station uses the interface IP address delivered by the U2000 DHCP server and
SeGW IP address delivered by the U2000 DHCP server for IKE SA and formal IPsec
establishment negotiations between the base station and SeGW. During IPsec tunnel
establishment, the base station automatically configures an ACL rule in OM IP to Any
mode and the SeGW configures an ACL rule in Any to OM IP or Any to Any mode.
The base station preferentially tries security parameters with which the temporary IPsec
tunnel was successfully established to establish the formal IPsec tunnel. If this fails, the
base station follows the sequence described in the "Establishing a Temporary IPsec
Tunnel" to try other security parameters.
Establishing an OMCH
The procedure for establishing an OMCH in an IPsec networking scenario is similar to that in
a non-IPsec networking scenario, except that, in an IPsec networking scenario, the U2000 and
base station must authenticate each other after the base station obtains operator-issued
certificates. The operator can choose to use SSL for the authentication. To authenticate the base
station, a device certificate and root certificate must be configured for the U2000.

The base station in the untrusted domain cannot directly access NEs in the trusted domain.
Instead, packets from the base station must be encrypted over the IPsec tunnel to the SeGW
before being transmitted to the U2000 or BSC in the trusted domain.
A CA is deployed and provides digital certificates for the base station to perform mutual
authentication with other NEs. During base station deployment, the CA can be accessed
by NEs' IP addresses in the untrusted domain.
After the base station starts, it must apply to the CA for operator-issued digital certificates
before connecting to the SeGW.

In IPsec networking scenario 2, the base station must obtain the base station IP address and CA
IP address from the U2000 DHCP server, and then obtain digital certificates from the CA.

The base station obtains required configuration information from the U2000 DHCP server.
The information includes the interface IP address and the OM IP address of the base station,
the CA IP address, and the SeGW address.
NOTE
During a DHCP procedure, a DHCP response packet sent by the U2000 contains the target RAT for
the base station. Upon detecting an inconsistency between the current and target RATs, the base
station changes its current RAT and then restarts. Afterwards, the base station reinitiates a DHCP
procedure.
3.
By using the configuration information obtained from the U2000 DHCP server, the base
station applies to the CA for an operator-issued device certificate. (For details about the
certificate application procedure, see the "Obtaining an Operator-Issued Device
Certificate" section.) The base station then adds the obtained certificate to the default
trusted certificate list for subsequent IPsec tunnel establishment and SSL authentication.
4.
By using the configuration information obtained from the U2000 DHCP server, the base
station establishes a formal IPsec tunnel to the SeGW.
5.
After the formal IPsec tunnel is established, the base station waits for the OMCH
establishment request from the U2000/BSC and then establishes an OMCH to the U2000/
BSC. Because the base station has obtained the operator-issued device certificate, SSL
authentication is supported between the U2000 and base station.
NOTE
If an IPsec tunnel or OMCH fails to be established, the base station automatically restarts the automatic OMCH
establishment procedure.
IPsec Redundancy Among Multiple SeGWs is not supported during base station deployment by PnP when
multiple SeGWs are configured. The active SeGW must work properly during base station deployment by PnP.

The U2000 DHCP server must be configured with the parameters listed in Table 3-7 as well as
the parameters listed in Table 3-22. These parameters are contained in subcodes of Option 43
in DHCP packets.

Multimode Base Station
3.4.1 Networking
The separate-MPT multimode base station is similar to many single-mode base stations that are
interconnected using the transmission board. The interconnection can either be based on the
panel or the backplane. Generally, the transmission board of a certain mode provides a shared
transmission interface for connecting to the transport network. The base station in this mode is
called an upper-level base station, and base stations in the other modes are called lower-level
base stations. The upper-level base station acts as the DHCP relay agent of lower-level base
stations.
Figure 3-29 shows the OMCH networking for the separate-MPT multimode base station that
uses panel-based interconnection. The upper-level base station provides two transmission
interfaces, one for panel-based interconnection (lower transmission interface) and the other for
connecting to the transport network (upper transmission interface).

Lower-level base stations can start the automatic OMCH establishment procedure only after the
upper-level base station completes the procedure. This section describes the differences in the
procedures between the separate-MPT base station and the single-mode base station.

Each mode in a separate-MPT multimode base station has almost the same configuration
requirements for the DHCP server as a single-mode base station. The only difference lies in the
setting of the OM Bearing Board parameter on DHCP servers of lower-level base stations, as

3.4.4 Configuration Requirements for Network Equipment

Each mode in a separate-MPT multimode base station has similar configuration requirements
for network equipment to a single-mode base station. For details about these requirements, see

Multimode Base Station. This section describes only the differences in the configuration
requirements.
The upper-level base station acts as the DHCP relay agent to forward DHCP packets and as a
router to forward OMCH and service packets for lower-level base stations. The transport network
for the upper-level base station needs to forward DHCP packets from the DHCP servers of lowerlevel base stations. Therefore, the upper-level base station and its transport network must be

configured by NEXTHOPIP (next-hop IP
address) and MASK (subnet mask) must
overlap with the network segment
configured by the interconnection
interface IP address. SingleVLAN mode
is recommended for the upper- and lowerlevel base stations.
l If the DHCP packets and OM data of
lower-level base stations are secured by
the IPsec tunnel of the upper-level base
station, the upper-level base station needs
to configure security parameters for the
passerby flows of lower-level base
stations. The security parameters include
the packet filtering rules, ACL rules, IPsec
proposal, and IKE proposal.

The IP addresses of the DHCP relay agent are as follows:
1. OM IP address of the upper-level base station
2. IP addresses of the lower transmission interface on the upper-level base station. If there
are several addresses of the lower transmission interface, the IP addresses used as the IP

This MO is mandatory.
If the base station is
configured with active and

active OMCH is used for
base station deployment by
PnP. The active OMCH is the
OMCH for which the Flag
parameter is set to MASTER
(Master).
The active OMCH must meet
the following requirements:
l If the active OMCH is
bound to a route:
The PEERIP parameter
must be set to the IP
address of the U2000. The
IP addresses of the U2000
and the FTP server must
be on the network
segment that is
collectively specified by
the PEERIP and
PEERMASK parameters.
l If the active OMCH is not

If BBUs are interconnected,
the OMCH must be

VLANMAP
It is recommended that
upper- and lower-level base
stations use the SingleVLAN
mode instead of the
VLANGroup mode to
configure VLANs. If base
stations are cascaded and the
upper-level base station uses
the VLANGroup mode, the
upper-level base station must
attach related VLAN IDs to
services of the OM_HIGH

configuring VLANCLASS.
If the lower-level base station
is a GBTS, the upper-level
base station must attach
related VLAN IDs to services
of the USERDATA type with
the differentiated services
code point (DSCP) set to the
same value as the DSCP of
the GBTS OMCH.

station deployment by PnP.
The active route has a higher
priority than the standby one.
NOTE
The smaller the number of the
route priority, the higher the

Equivalent routes are not

recommended for the
OMCH. This is because
deployment may fail as the
base station randomly

server IP addresses.
If base stations of SRAN7.0, SRAN8.0, and
later versions co-exist in a network,
configuring eight U2000 DHCP server IP
addresses on the public DHCP server causes
a deployment failure because SRAN7.0 base
stations support only two U2000 DHCP
server IP addresses. In this scenario,
configure two U2000 DHCP server IP
addresses or deploy SRAN7.0 base stations
in non-PnP mode.
If the WMPT board of the NodeB needs to be

configured on the DHCP server must be
changed from being bound to the panel's ESN

being bound to the backplane's ESN
(mapping subcode 1 in DHCP Option 43).
3.5.2 Impact of U2000 Deployment on Base Station Deployment by

PnP
During base station deployment by PnP and subsequent commissioning, the base station needs
to communicate with many application services of the U2000, including the DHCP service, FTP
service, and OMCH management service.
The preceding three services can be deployed on different U2000s and use different IP addresses.
Therefore, network planning and base station data configuration must ensure normal
communication between the OM IP address of the base station and the IP addresses of the three
services.

For example:When the U2000 uses the multi-server load-sharing (SLS) networking, the DHCP
service is deployed on the master server, whereas the FTP service and the OMCH management
service can be deployed on either the master or slave server. When the FTP service and OMCH
management service are deployed on different U2000 servers and accordingly use different IP
addresses, the route configuration on the base station and the transport network must ensure that
the IP addresses of the two services are reachable using configured routes. If IPsec secures
OMCH data, the IPsec SA's traffic selector (TS) successfully negotiated between the base station
and the SeGW must cover the traffic between the OM IP address of the base station and the IP

OMCH networking requires that the NAT server be deployed only on the U2000 side, but not

The IP address and port number of the U2000 can be converted by the NAT. Therefore, the route
whose destination IP address is the U2000 IP address on the base station side must use an U2000
IP address visible on the base station side as the destination address. As shown in Figure
3-34, the local IP address configured for the U2000 is 10.20.0.1, that is , the source IP address
of packtes sentd by the U2000 is 10.20.0.1. After the conversion performed by the NAT server,
however, the source IP address in TCP packets received by the base station is 10.10.1.1 instead
of 10.20.0.1. Therefore, the route whose destination IP address is 10.10.1.1 instead of 10.20.0.1
must be configured on the base station side.
NOTE
The IP address and port number on the base station side cannot be converted by the NAT server because
the DHCP server uses the IP address of the DHCP relay agent (giaddr) or IP address of the DHCP client
(ciaddr) as the destination IP address for responding to the DHCP message and the giaddr or ciaddr fields
contained in the DHCP message cannot be converted by the NAT server.

Stations
ATM-based Automatic OMCH
Establishment for Base Stations
4.1 Overview
ATM-based automatic OMCH establishment for Base Stations (corresponding to feature
WRFD-031100 BOOTP) is used for the bootstrap of diskless workstations. It enables the diskless
workstation to obtain the IP address from the server during the startup. Compared with the
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) that implements the same function, BOOTP is
more versatile and easier to use. BOOTP complies with the RFC 951 and RFC 1542 protocols.
BOOTP that is applied to the RAN system enables the NodeB to establish an IPoA path based
on the obtained IP address and default PVC. In this way, a remote OM channel can be set up
between the NodeB and the U2000 or LMT.
The NodeB configuration data normally contains the data of the IPoA path. If the data is correct,
the user can remotely access and maintain the NodeB. If the data is incorrect, BOOTP helps the
NodeB to establish a correct IPoA path so that the NodeB can be remotely maintained.
4.2 Principles
BOOTP is used in ATM networking to establish an IPoA path so that a remote OM channel
from the U2000 or LMT to the NodeB can be set up.
The configuration data required for setting up an IPoA path includes the Permanent Virtual
Channel (PVC), transport ports carrying the PVC, and IP addresses.
The procedure of BOOTP establishment consists of port listening, port configuration, PVC setup
and BOOTP request initiation, RNC returning the BOOTPREPLY message, and IPoA
configuration, as shown in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1 Procedure of BOOTP establishment
4.2.1 Port Listening

Port listening enables the NodeB to listen to the configuration data of peer ports so that the
NodeB transport ports that carry PVCs can be correctly configured.
The prerequisites for port listening are as follows: The physical links must be connected properly.
(If a link works abnormally, ports are not configured on this link.); the transport ports of other
transport devices connecting the RNC and the NodeB must be correctly configured.
The port types applied to ATM networking are as follows:
l
Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA)
User Network Interface (UNI)
Fractional ATM
Unchannelized STM-1/OC-3
The procedure of BOOTP establishment is different in the case of different port types. For the
unchannelized STM-1/OC-3 ports, the PVC can be set up without port listening as
interconnection is not involved. The following describes the port listening function in the case
of IMA, UNI, and fractional ATM.

Port Listening in the Case of IMA/UNI

Through IMA/UNI ports, the NodeB can obtain the configuration data from peer ports by
listening to the IMA Control Protocol (ICP) cells of the peer end. According to the obtained
configuration data, the NodeB sets up an IMA group that carries the PVC (including the IMA
links in the IMA group) or UNI links.
The NodeB first tries to listen to the IMA/UNI ports because whether the IMA/UNI ports or
fractional ATM ports are used cannot be determined initially. If the listening fails, the NodeB
listens to the fractional ATM ports.
Port Listening in the Case of Fractional ATM

The fractional ATM link requires a bitmap of all types of timeslots contained in the link. If the
timeslots are inconsistent at the two ends, the setup of a fractional ATM link will fail.
Listening to the timeslots by using the exhaustive method will be time-consuming because the
combinations of timeslots are countless. To prevent this problem, the range of timeslot
combinations needs to be minimized. The combinations need to contain only the typical timeslot
bitmaps commonly used by the telecom operators.
To listen to fractional ATM links is to apply the exhaustive method to these typical timeslot
bitmaps, which is a way to configure the fractional ATM links. If the links work properly, the
listening is successful; if the links work abnormally, it indicates that the timeslot bitmap does
not match the configuration at the peer end, and the NodeB needs to try other timeslot bitmaps.
The NodeB first uses the E1 timeslot bitmaps to listen to the ports, because whether the physical
links connected to the NodeB are E1s or T1s cannot be determined initially. If the listening fails,
the NodeB uses the T1 timeslot bitmaps to listen to the ports.
After the listening is successful, the PVC can be set up.
4.2.2 Port Configuration

The NodeB configures its IMA or UNI ports based on the configuration data of the ports at the
peer end. The configuration parameters of the peer ports, obtained through port listening, include
protocol version number and IMA frame length.
4.2.3 PVC Setup and BOOTP Request Initiation

The PVC used by BOOTP is permanently 1/33, that is, its Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) is set to
1 and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) is set to 33. Such a PVC needs to be configured at the
RNC or at the ATM network equipment. The BOOTP process is implemented on this PVC.
After the PVC is set up, the NodeB issues a BOOTPREQUEST message on this PVC to request
the RNC to assign an IP address. The IP address will be used as the OM address of the NodeB.
This IP address can be used for logging in to the NodeB and be used for maintenance purposes.
4.2.4 RNC Returning the BOOTREPLY Message

The prerequisite for the RNC to respond to the BOOTPREQUEST message is that the RNC has
configured a PVC (fixed to 1/33) for the related NodeB and has obtained the corresponding IP
addresses.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

104
SingleRAN
Description

Stations
On receipt of the BOOTPREQUEST message, the RNC replies with a BOOTPREPLY message
containing the assigned IP address. The message is transmitted over the established PVC (fixed
to 1/33).
4.2.5 IPoA Configuration

After receiving the BOOTPREPLY message from the RNC, the NodeB configures an IPoA
path, which finalizes the BOOTP implementation process.
4.3 Configuration Guidelines

In the IP network, For details about data to prepare before a base station starts the automatic
operation and maintenance channel (OMCH) establishment procedure, see 3900 Series Base
Station Initial Configuration Guide. For details about software and configuration file
downloading, activation, and commissioning on a base station after the automatic OMCH
establishment procedure is complete, see 3900 Series Base Station Commissioning Guide.
The following describes how to configure BOOTP in an ATM network.
Configuring BOOTP on the RNC Side in an ATM Network

On the RNC side, run the ADD IPOAPVC command to configure the PVC. When using
BOOTP, the PVC is to be configured with VPI = 1 and VCI = 33. The main parameters of this
command are as follows:
l
CARRYVPI(BSC6910,BSC6900): This parameter specifies the VPI value of the PVC. It

is set to 1.
CARRYVCI(BSC6910,BSC6900): This parameter specifies the VCI value of the PVC. It

is set to 33.
IPADDR(BSC6910,BSC6900): This parameter specifies the local IP address.
PEERIPADDR(BSC6910,BSC6900): This parameter specifies the IP address of the peer

end, that is, IP address of the NodeB.
On the RNC side, run the ADD UNODEBIP command to configure the IP address of the OM
channel. The main parameter of this command is as follows:
NBATMOAMIP(BSC6900,BSC6910): This parameter specifies the OM IP address of the
NodeB in ATM networking.
NBCTRLSN(BSC6900,BSC6910): This parameter specifies the main control board slot number
of the NodeB. When there are multiple main control boards in a base station, the RNC compares
the slot number of a main control board reported in the BOOTP process with the slot number
specified by users. If the reported and specified slot numbers are the same, the RNC returns a
BOOTPREPLY message to the base station.
Configuring BOOTP on the NodeB Side in an ATM Network

The BOOTP process can be implemented without any NodeB configuration data, and therefore
it is unnecessary to configure BOOTP on the NodeB side.

5.1 Introduction
In TDM networking, the protocol stack on the Abis interface is as follows:
l
Physical layer: Data is carried over E1/T1 links.
Data link layer: High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) is used.
Application layer: link access procedure on the D channel (LAPD) is used. LAPD includes
layer 2 management link (L2ML), OML, radio signaling link (RSL), and extended signaling
link (ESL).
Figure 5-1 shows the protocol stack on the Abis interface in TDM networking.
Figure 5-1 Protocol stack on the Abis interface in TDM networking
OML timeslot detection in TDM networking applies to the GBTS in Abis over TDM mode. This
function is used to establish an OMCH (that is, an OML) between the GBTS and BSC.
5.2 Process
As shown in Figure 5-2, the process of OML timeslot detection in TDM networking consists
of two procedures: sending L2ML establishment requests and saving detection information.

Description
Figure 5-2 Process of OML timeslot detection in TDM networking
5.2.1 Sending L2ML Establishment Requests

The procedure for sending L2ML establishment requests is as follows:
1.
The GBTS determines whether an E1 or T1 link is used for OML timeslot detection based
on the DIP switch of the main control board.
2.
To establish an OML to the BSC, the GBTS attempts to send L2ML establishment requests
based on certain combinations of bandwidths and E1/T1 ports that support OML timeslot
detection.
OML timeslot detection in TDM networking requires 64 kbit/s or 16 kbit/s bandwidth and can
be implemented on E1/T1 ports 0 and 1 of the main control board. Therefore, there are four
possible combinations, which the GBTS tries in the following order:
1.
E1/T1 port 0, 64 kbit/s bandwidth
2.
3.
4.
If the 64 kbit/s bandwidth is used:

l
For an E1 link, the GBTS sends L2ML establishment requests over 64 kbit/s timeslots 1
through 31.
For a T1 link, the GBTS sends L2ML establishment requests over 64 kbit/s timeslots 1
through 24.
If the 16 kbit/s bandwidth is used:

Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

107
SingleRAN
Description
For an E1 link, the GBTS sends L2ML establishment requests over the third 16 kbit/s subtimeslots of 64 kbit/s timeslots 1 through 31.
For a T1 link, the GBTS sends L2ML establishment requests over the third 16 kbit/s subtimeslots of 64 kbit/s timeslots 1 through 24.
Upon receiving an L2ML establishment request, the BSC selects a 64 kbit/s timeslot or a 16
kbit/s sub-timeslot based on base station configurations, and responds to the request. By default,
the BSC selects the last 64 kbit/s timeslot of an E1/T1 link, or the third 16 kbit/s sub-timeslot
of the last 64 kbit/s timeslot. The last 64 kbit/s timeslot is timeslot 31 for an E1 link and timeslot
24 for a T1 link.
If the last 64 kbit/s timeslot or the third 16 kbit/s sub-timeslot of the last 64 kbit/s timeslot cannot
carry an OML, run the SET BTSOMLTS command on the BSC LMT to set the timeslot that
is used to carry the OML, and run the SET BTSOMLDETECT command to set the OML
timeslot detection function.
Upon receiving a correct response over a timeslot, the GBTS uses the timeslot to carry the OML.
Otherwise, the GBTS attempts to establish an OML on other ports or timeslots.
5.2.2 Saving Detection Information

The GBTS saves the combination of the bandwidth and E1/T1 port number that was used for
the previous successful L2ML establishment. Upon the next startup, the GBTS preferentially
uses the saved combination for OML establishment, which reduces the startup time.

Meaning: Indicates the action taken on the data that

matches the ACL rule. When the ACL to which the ACL
rule belongs is referenced by a packet filter, the BS
accepts or transmits the data that matches the rule if this
parameter is set to PERMIT, and rejects the data if this
parameter is set to DENY. When the ACL is referenced
by an IPSec policy, the BS encrypts or decrypts the data
that matches the rule if this parameter is set to PERMIT,
and does not perform any encryption or decryption on
the data if this parameter is set to DENY.
