CNR - Broadhop - ISG Integration

Working on integrating the Cisco CNR server with Broadhop and ISG functions on a Cisco ASR-1004.  The current design is to utilize the syslog functions of the CNR to trigger updates / deletes on the Broadhop.  Initially, the plan was to use the integrated functions of the CNR (using either TCL or C++ libraries).  However, the issue is that if the Broadhop is slow to respond (or is unreachable), the CNR DHCP process will no longer be able to hand out IP addresses (or will be very slow).



The diagram shows the high-level initial process flow.  Everything is written in Java and the process is going much faster than I was expecting.  So far, I have the Syslog process listening for connections, logging to files and talking with the Broadhop server.

Hopefully, I will finish all of the testing tomorrow and we can implement the L3-TAL (versus the L2-TAL that we are currently using and running into some small quirks).
