Assigning USTATs to Providers

If you haven’t already done so, back out of engine configuration mode by executing the end (or exit) command until you are in config mode.

Now execute the module command, specifying ustat for the type argument and whatever name you want to use for the first USTAT as the name argument. You will need to configure one USTAT module for each service provider link. Link name and USTAT name can be the same.

Enter the following:

module ustat provider_1
 

 

This will place the CLI in config-ustat mode for the USTAT module to be associated with the provider_1 link. You need to do two things while in this mode:

• associate the USTAT module to a specific service provider access link
• assign a virtual IP (VIP) address to the USTAT module
• and, if needed, a default gateway for the module

When you are finished, you will need to back out of and then re-enter config-ustat mode with a different USTAT name. Note: if you wish to create a GRE (Generic Route Encapsulation) tunnel you will need to use the interface tunnel command.
