1 Positioning and Benefits Product Description

1.1 Network Position


This topic provides information about the development trend of network management and the
position of the U2000 in the TMN hierarchy.

1.1.1 Network Management Trend


With the development of IT and IP technologies and the convergence of telecommunications,
IT, media, and consumer electronic industries, the telecommunications industry has witnessed
tremendous changes. Broadband services and mobile services have become the mainstream
services on telecommunications networks and convergence of networks is being implemented
widely, which bring changes in the market orientation and business modes of carriers.
1.1.2 Product Orientation
The U2000 is the equipment management system developed by Huawei and is also the major
and future-oriented network management product and solution.

1.1.1 Network Management Trend


With the development of IT and IP technologies and the convergence of telecommunications,
IT, media, and consumer electronic industries, the telecommunications industry has witnessed
tremendous changes. Broadband services and mobile services have become the mainstream
services on telecommunications networks and convergence of networks is being implemented
widely, which bring changes in the market orientation and business modes of carriers.

l The development of the all-IP architecture is a leading factor in the transition from the
existing vertical network that is divided by technology and service to the flattened
horizontal network.
l Improving user experience, lowering operation expenditure (OPEX), and improving
efficiency are the driving forces for fixed-mobile convergence (FMC).
l Network convergence requires network management to be consolidated.

To be oriented to the future network development trend, the U2000 combines all-IP and FMC
and manages bearer and access equipment in a centralized manner.

l The U2000 can perform not only integrated management of multi-domain equipment but
also integrated management at the element and network management layers. The U2000
has revolutionized the layer-based management mode to meet the management
requirements in the transition from the existing vertical network to the flattened horizontal
network.
l The U2000 is a unified network management system (NMS) of multiple domains and it
aims to minimize operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for customers and to bring more
network benefits.

1.1.2 Product Orientation


The U2000 is the equipment management system developed by Huawei and is also the major
and future-oriented network management product and solution.

In the TMN hierarchy, the U2000 is located at the element management layer and network
management layer, and supports all functions of the element and network management layers.
Figure 1-1 shows the position of the U2000 in the TMN hierarchy.

Huawei. It supports Sun workstations, PC servers, Sybase databases, SQL Server databases, and
Solaris, Windowsoperating systems (OSs).
The U2000 is a stand-alone application that can be installed on different OSs and databases.
Hence, it is compatible with multiple OSs. The U2000 provides high-end solutions for large-
scale networks and low-cost solutions for small- and medium-scale networks.

Leading Scalable NMS Architecture


By adopting the mature and widely-used client/server (C/S) architecture, the U2000 supports
distributed and hierarchical database system, service processing system, and client application
system and it also supports concurrent operations of multiple clients. Modularized architecture
is scalable so that the U2000 meets the management requirements of complex and large-scale
networks.
l The U2000 uses an object-oriented, multiprocessing, modularized, and componentized
architecture design, thereby decreasing the degree of the coupling of NE management
components. In this way, the U2000 supports smooth online increase in management
capability from a single domain to multiple domains.
l The U2000 has the capability of flexibly integrating NBIs.
l The loose coupling framework supports the independent upgrade and maintenance of
subsystems.

2.2.2 SBI
Using the southbound interface (SBI), the U2000 can connect to NEs and manage them. The
U2000 supports the following SBIs: SNMP, CLI, Qx, SSH, and Telnet SBIs.

Qx Interface
Qx interfaces are simplified interfaces based on the Q3 interfaces defined in ITU-T
recommendations. They are used for private communications. Qx interfaces use a protocol based
on standard TCP/IP packets. Qx interfaces support data transmission over media such as in-band
DCCs or ECCs and out-of-band channels, featuring low overheads, standard structures, and high
efficiency. Qx interfaces are classified into Qx4 interfaces and Qx5 interfaces (Qx4 is the earlier
version). Qx4 interfaces are used for managing the OptiX 2500+ and earlier transport equipment;
Qx5 interfaces are used for managing transport equipment later than the OptiX 2500+. The
U2000 can adapt to various protocols.

The U2000 uses Qx interfaces to connect and manage transport equipment, such as MSTP,
WDM, RTN, PTN, and OTN equipment.

SNMP SBI
The SNMP SBI is used to connect and manage SNMP equipment.

The U2000 supports the SNMP SBI that complies with the SNMP v1/v2c/v3 standard. Through
the SNMP SBI, the U2000 can be connected to Huawei routers, switches, and security access
equipment.

SNMP is a TCP/IP-based network management protocol at the application layer. SNMP uses
the UDP protocol at the transmission layer. Through the SNMP SBI, the U2000 can manage the
network equipment that supports proxy processes.

Telnet/SSH Telnet (STelnet) SBI


The Telnet and STelnet SBIs are a basic type of interface used for remote login to and
management of NEs. The Telnet and STelnet SBIs compensate the disadvantages of the SNMP
SBI and allow the U2000 to perform more management functions. Through the Telnet and
STelnet SBIs, the U2000 can be connected to Huawei routers, switches, and security equipment.
l Telnet is a TCP/IP-based network management protocol at the application layer. Through
the Telnet SBI, you can log in to an NE in the CLI and run commands directly in the CLI
to maintain and configure the NE. Using the TCP protocol at the transmission layer, the
Telnet protocol provides services for network communication. The Telnet protocol
transmits communication data in plain text, which is not secure.
l Similar to Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH) is also a TCP/IP-based network management protocol
at the application layer. The SSH protocol, however, transmits encrypted data. Using the
TCP protocol at the transmission layer, the SSH protocol encrypts data at the application
layer. The SSH protocol ensures the security of network communications by means of
authentication, encryption, and authorization. The SSH protocol supports authentication
by password and RSA. In addition, the SSH protocol transmits compressed data, which
speeds up the transmission.

iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System
2 System Architecture Product Description

TFTP/FTP/SFTP SBI
The TFTP, FTP, and SFTP SBIs are used for backing up NE data, upgrading NE software, and
loading patches. TFTP, FTP, and SFTP are TCP/IP-based network management protocols at the
application layer and are dependent on the UDP protocol.
l Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a basic and standard protocol that requires least
extra overheads, as compared with FTP and SFTP, to upload and download files. The TFTP
protocol does not support password configuration and transfers file contents in plain text.
l File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a set of standard protocols used for transferring files on
networks. The FTP protocol transfers passwords and file contents in plain text.
l SSH FTP (SFTP) uses the SSH protocol to provide secure file transfer and processing. For
data backup using the SFTP protocol, passwords and data are encrypted during
transmission.

Syslog SBI
The Syslog SBI serves as an interface for the U2000 to receive system logs from NEs. With the
Syslog SBI, the U2000 can manage NE logs.

4.2 Networking Mode Between the U2000 and NEs


The U2000 adopts the widely used C/S architecture. In such architecture, the client and the server
communicate through the LAN or wide area network (WAN). The U2000 server communicates
with its managed NEs in inband or outband networking mode.

4.2.1 Inband Networking Mode


In inband networking mode, the U2000 uses the service channels that are provided by the
managed equipment to transmit messages for network management and manage the network.
The messages are transmitted between the U2000 and the equipment through the service
channels of the managed equipment.
4.2.2 Outband Networking Mode
In outband networking mode, the U2000 uses the communication channels that are provided by
the equipment other than the managed equipment to transmit messages for network management
and manage the network. Generally, the management interface on the control card of the
managed equipment functions as the access interface.

4.2.1 Inband Networking Mode


In inband networking mode, the U2000 uses the service channels that are provided by the
managed equipment to transmit messages for network management and manage the network.
The messages are transmitted between the U2000 and the equipment through the service
channels of the managed equipment.

Figure 4-3 shows an example network in inband networking mode.

Figure 4-3 Example network in inband networking mode

Networking Description
The equipment managed by the U2000 is all connected to the managed network. The U2000
needs to be connected to only the nearby equipment on the managed network. After configuring
the related routes, you can manage all the equipment on the network.
The way of connecting the U2000 with the managed network depends on the distance between
the U2000 and its nearby equipment. If the U2000 and its nearby equipment are in the same
telecommunications room, you can connect them in LAN mode. If the U2000 and its nearby
equipment are far from each other, you can connect them in private line mode. In this case, the
private line mode is similar to the outband networking mode.
l Networking advantages: The inband networking mode is flexible and cost-effective. It does
not need extra equipment.
l Networking disadvantages: When a fault occurs in the network, the communication channel
between the U2000 and its managed network is broken. As a result, you cannot maintain
the managed network on the U2000.

4.2.2 Outband Networking Mode


In outband networking mode, the U2000 uses the communication channels that are provided by
the equipment other than the managed equipment to transmit messages for network management
and manage the network. Generally, the management interface on the control card of the
managed equipment functions as the access interface.
In outband networking mode, the U2000 can be connected to the managed equipment in multiple
ways. For example, the U2000 can be connected to the managed equipment through the data
communication network (DCN), E1 lines, or routers. This topic considers the DCN as an example
to describe how the U2000 manages equipment. Figure 4-4 shows an example network in
outband networking mode.

4 Networking and Application Product Description

Figure 4-4 Example network in outband networking mode

Networking description
The equipment managed by the U2000 is all connected to the managed network. The U2000
connects with the equipment on the managed network through the DCN that is made up of other
equipment. In this manner, the U2000 manages the network and equipment.
l Networking advantages: In outband networking mode, the U2000 is not connected to its
managed equipment directly but is connected to its managed equipment through other
equipment. Compared with the inband networking mode, this mode provides more reliable
equipment management channels. When managed equipment is faulty, the U2000 locates
information about the faulty equipment in a timely manner and monitors the equipment in
real time.
l Networking disadvantages: In outband networking mode, the U2000 manages equipment
through a maintenance channel that is independent of the service channel. To provide such
a maintenance channel, you need to construct a network that is made up of extra equipment.
Thus, the cost of constructing the network is high.

l Clocks such as IEEE 1588v2 clocks, synchronous Ethernet clocks, and SDH clocks can be
auto-discovered in the topology view. In addition, network-wide clocks are displayed in a
unified topology view. In the topology view, the clock tracing status and clock
synchronization status are refreshed in real time when a network fault occurs.
l The clock status is monitored in real time and the clock alarm, clock tracing status, and
clock protection are displayed in real time.
Server-centered alarm monitoring
l Relevant alarms are displayed in the E2E service management window when the network
is faulty and affects service provisioning.
l Services affected by alarms can be located by a one-touch operation in the alarm
management window.
l You can view network-wide alarms on the U2000 client or Web browser after alarms are
generated.

4.3.4 Single Backbone Solution


The U2000 provides perfect solutions for single backbone networks in terms of network
deployment, service deployment, and service assurance.
With the development of carrier-class IP technologies such as MPLS, VPN, and OAM
technologies, carrier-class network technologies based on the IP backbone network become
increasingly mature. The single backbone solution is provided for multi-service core bear
networks, Internet backbone networks, and international gateways. Carrier-class maintenance
must be performed strictly on the IP core network because of its core position on a
telecommunications network. As shown in Figure 4-8, the single backbone network has the
following networking features:
l The core layer uses the dual-plane structure and fully meshed connections are set up
between Ps.
l Dual-homing connections are set up between convergence-layer equipment (PEs) and Ps.
l Two sets of equipment are deployed on important nodes for backup.
l The MPLS VPN is planned in a unified manner to perform isolation between users or
services.

Network Deployment
The U2000 meets the following requirements in the network deployment stage:

l Automatic discovery of topologies and services


The U2000 supports the ability to automatically discover network topologies, links, and IP
services.
l End-to-end reliability
The U2000 supports the abilities to manage mainstream routing protocols such as OSPF,
IS-IS, and BGP, configure IGP (OSPF and IS-IS) fast convergence, and configure BFD,
VRRP, IP FRR, VPN FRR, and MPLS OAM to ensure service reliability.
l End-to-end QoS deployment
The U2000 supports QoS deployment in common Diff-Serv mode so that traffic can be
classified according to the service priorities of users. On a PE, complex traffic classification
is performed according to the source IP address, destination IP address, interface, and
VLAN; on a P, only simple traffic classification is performed. In addition, the U2000
supports VPN HQoS deployment to schedule multiple services on a VPN and different
VPN traffic on public TE tunnels.

Service Deployment
The U2000 provides the following functions to effectively and accurately deploy services:

l Supports the setup of MPLS tunnels.

Issue 05 (2010-11-19) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 4-17


Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System
4 Networking and Application Product Description

l Supports the deployment of mainstream services (for example, L2VPN, L3VPN, and
PWE3 services) that are carried over tunnels, provides multiple service configuration
templates and batch configuration templates, and supports the automatic verification of
parameter settings.
l Provides simple and user-friendly GUIs to effectively improve service deployment
efficiency.
After a service is created in the topology view, the U2000 immediately displays the creation
and deployment results. All parameters can be set in only one GUI, which quadruples the
configuration efficiency.

Service Assurance
The U2000 provides the following service assurance measures for the single backbone network:
l Protection switchover in less than 50 ms in case of local faults
You can configure MPLS TE FRR to implement fast route convergence. This ensures that
traffic can be switched in 50 ms after a fault occurs on a node or link on the network. On
an MPLS TE network, after the primary LSP is configured with FRR, traffic is quickly
switched to the bypass LSP if a link or a set of equipment becomes faulty. MPLS TE FRR
is a temporary local protection mechanism. With this mechanism, when the primary LSP
recovers, traffic is switched back to the primary LSP or a new LSP.
l Protection switchover in less than 200 ms in case of end-to-end faults
With VPN FRR deployed, when a fault occurs on a remote PE, the local PE can quickly
switch traffic to the remote backup PE in 200 ms. The switching duration is irrelevant to
the number of routes on the private network.
l Real-time alarm monitoring and notification
The U2000 can monitor network faults and the status of equipment and interfaces in real
time. On the U2000, the status and severities of equipment alarms are identified by colors
of nodes in the topology view. Maintenance engineers can quickly locate alarm-affected
services from specific equipment alarms. By notifying remote users of network faults
through SMSs or emails, the U2000 ensures the timely processing of network faults.
l Performance monitoring 24 hours a day and 7 days a week
The U2000 periodically collects the key performance indicators of networkwide links or
specified links and dynamically displays the network running status, providing important
references for locating network faults. The U2000 provides support for network monitoring
by regularly collecting the traffic data on network-wide links or important links.
l End-to-end SLA monitoring on network nodes
The U2000 regularly collects the SLA data between PEs, between the local CE and PE,
and between the PE and remote CE. With these data, you can discover network degradation,
predict the trend of network running, and optimize the network accordingly.
l Layered fault diagnosis and location
After a fault occurs, the U2000 analyzes the tunnel associated with the specific service and
the route associated with the tunnel, and then diagnoses the service according to different
network layers to accurately locate the faulty point (equipment, port, or service) and the
causes of the fault for the purpose of troubleshooting.

4.3.5 Single FAN Solution


The single FAN Solution is the optical access solution that supports a large capacity of
subscribers and long-distance transmission and provides high bandwidth. The U2000 provides

a comprehensive solution for FTTx access devices to manage and maintain the OLT, ONU,
SBU, CBU, and ONT in a centralized manner.
In the FTTx access solution, a single fiber is used to provide voice, data, and video services. The
FTTx access solution meets the networking requirements for the fiber to the curb (FTTC), fiber
to the building (FTTB), fiber to the home (FTTH), base station transmission, IP private line
interconnection, and wholesale services. Figure 4-9 shows the networking application of the
FTTx access network management.

Network Deployment
In an FTTx network, the U2000 provides the ONU predeployment and remote acceptance
functions. By using the functions, you can improve the ONU deployment efficiency and reduce
the operational expenditure (OPEX).
l The U2000 provides the ONU predeployment function. Before powering on an ONU, create
a corresponding virtual NE and configure service data on the U2000. After you power on
the ONU, the U2000 automatically applies the preset configuration to the ONU to complete
the service deployment. Therefore, the network predeployment and device installation can
be started at the same time. In this way, the time required for network construction is
reduced by half.
l The U2000 provides the function of predeploying NEs by means of a sheet. By using this
function, you can import data of NEs to the U2000 in batches, thus installing the devices

without software commissioning and performing remote acceptance. Engineers only need
to visit a site once. The plug and display (PnP) feature of the ONU is implemented.
Therefore, the deployment efficiency is greatly improved, and the network construction
cost is reduced.
l The U2000 provides flexible authentication that works together with the preconfiguration
function to implement the PnP of the ONU. In this way, the installation cost is greatly
reduced. After you replace an ONU with a new one upon a fault, you only need to enter
the authentication information. Then, the U2000 automatically applies the configuration
data of the faulty ONU to the new ONU. You do not need to re-configure the new ONU.
l The U2000 provides the remote acceptance function for the ONU. Specifically, the
U2000 automatically applies the preconfiguration data after the ONU goes online and
implement the remote service acceptance, if you create an acceptance task for the ONU
when it is offline.
The U2000 provides a solution to quick ONU deployment. With the solution, engineers only
need to visit a site once and complete the ONU deployment in five steps as follows:
1. Plan data: With the Excel-based plan tool, you can easily copy and paste data. This function
is applicable to the configuration of a large amount of data.
2. Perform offline deployment: Import Excel sheets that contain planned data to the U2000
and complete the offline pre-provisioning of services.
3. Install ONUs on site: Install ONUs without software commissioning on site.
4. Activate services: Power on ONUs. The PnP features of the ONUs take effect.
5. Perform remote acceptance: Engineers do not need to visit the site. Instead, NEs
automatically report acceptance results without manual intervention.

Service Provisioning
The U2000 provides the following three convenient and fast service provisioning means. With
these means, you can fast provision the configuration data of FTTx NEs regardless of whether
the OSS is interconnected with the EMS.
l Automatic provisioning upon interconnection with the OSS:
The U2000 provides standard and open northbound interfaces (NBIs) that implement fast
interconnection with the OSS for the FTTx solution.
l Sheet-based service provisioning:
The U2000 provides the convenient and fast predeployment for ONUs and preconfiguration
for services in the FTTx solution. With this function, the U2000 automatically provisions
services and thus reduces costs in labor.
l FTTx service provisioning template:
The U2000 provides templates for provisioning FTTx services. You can customize service
provisioning templates for different subscribers. With such a template, you can implement
the one-touch service provisioning. In this way, the efficiency and correctness of service
provisioning are greatly improved.

Service Assurance
l FTTx fault diagnosis:
By using the traditional method, you need to locate a subscriber fault part by part. In
addition, you need to locate faults of different types in different user interfaces for function
modules. Those user interfaces are not integrated and thus you need to frequently switch
between the user interfaces. As the FTTx is used more widely, access fault diagnosis
becomes more important. The U2000 provides the FTTx fault diagnosis function. With this
function, you only need to enter the object to be diagnosed and then perform one-touch
fault diagnosis. Figure 4-11 and Figure 4-12 show the fault diagnosis of FTTx services.

l PnP (plug and play) of the MDU after replacement:


When an MDU is faulty, you need to locate the fault and recover services quickly. It is time
consuming to locate and troubleshoot an internal fault in the MDU. Therefore, it is
recommended that you directly replace the faulty MDU and save and repair faulty MDUs
in a centralized manner. The U2000 provides the PnP function of the MDU. With this
function, you only need to rebind the MAC address or SN of the MDU on the U2000 and
then the U2000 automatically applies the configuration and NE software version to the
MDU. You need configure the MDU neither on site nor on the OSS.Figure 4-13 shows
the implementation of the PnP function after replacement.

l Dual homing protection at the PON port:


As the split ratio increases, the number of subscribers connected to a PON port increases.
The dual homing protection at the PON port is provided to fast recover services when the
backbone fiber between the PON port and the splitter is faulty. The U2000 supports the
dual homing protection of type B at the PON port. When the active fiber connected to the
OLT is faulty, the U2000 automatically switches the services to the standby fiber. This
solution improves the disaster tolerance capability of the OLT. Figure 4-14 shows the
implementation of the dual homing protection at the PON port.

l Fast service cutover at the PON port:


The PON port on a live network is not pluggable. When an PON port or card is faulty or
the network is adjusted, you can delete the faulty PON port, create an EPON port or card,
and then add all MDU data to the new port or card to implement batch data migration. In
this case, the data configuration is complex and relevant services will be interrupted for a
long period of time. The U2000 provides the service cutover function. When a PON port
of an OLT is faulty, disconnect the fiber from the faulty PON port and connect the fiber to
an idle PON port of the same OLT. Then, duplicate the configuration data of the faulty
PON port to the idle PON port. That is, you migrate the configuration of the MDUs
connected to the PON port to the idle PON port. In this manner, relevant services fast
recover.Figure 4-15 shows the implementation of the dual homing protection.

Table 5-1 Overview of functions and features of the U2000


Function Description
or
Feature

Unified The U2000 provides the unified GUI-based management of Huawei NEs in the
network transport, IP, and access domains. It is a unified network management system
managem (NMS) that offers comprehensive functions in managing NE alarms, network
ent alarms, security, performance, topology, logs, inventories, reports, and
databases. This function meets the requirements of network convergence and
rapid development of customer services.

Centraliz Centralized task management is an NMS task management mechanism that


ed task manages and coordinates all scheduled tasks in a unified management GUI. Two
managem types of tasks are managed in the centralized task management: system scheduled
ent tasks (periodic) and custom scheduled tasks (one-off). The two types of tasks
can run automatically at a scheduled time and users can set parameters and
browse the task status, progress, and results.

NE NE template management allows users to bulk configure NEs by means of


template duplication, which makes NE configuration faster and easier. After a template is
managem referenced in NE configuration management, NE resources are assigned
ent automatically with parameter values in that template. This avoids tedious and
labor-intensive configuration.

NE data In NE data configuration, the U2000 supports bulk configuration of NE services


configura by using configuration templates, importing data sheets, and loading
tion and configuration files. In data management, the U2000 supports the backup,
managem restoration, and synchronization of NMS data and NE data. With this function,
ent services can be provisioned quickly in the GUI.

License NE license management allows users to query, apply for, install, and adjust NE
managem licenses (in case of capacity change and server change). By setting NE licenses,
ent users can perform functions as required. NE licenses also controls the validity
periods of and functions available to NEs. Users can view the status of NEs and
make adjustment accordingly in license management.

Client The CAU function enables the U2000 client to upgrade automatically through
auto the Internet provided that the U2000 server functions properly and communicates
update successfully with the U2000 client.
(CAU)

Check The U2000 can be upgraded smoothly without service interruption. After the
after the upgrade, the NE status, basic services, and routing relationships are checked and
upgrade a check report is generated. This helps to ensure the normal running of major
services immediately after the upgrade and achieve timely detection of issues
such as data loss.

l For the U2000 HA scheme, see Deployment Mode.
l For the backup and restoration of the database, see 5.8 Database Management.
l For details about the firewall security policy, system enhancement policy, OS and database security
policy, and data transmission security policy, see chapter "Security Planning" in the iManager U2000
Planning Guide

User Management
This feature is to assign NMS users the appropriate rights for management and maintenance
functions according to the O&M requirements when NMS users are planned.
l User management: The U2000 uniquely identifies the login, operation, and management
rights of NMS users according to user names and passwords. Only one default user, user
admin, is provided after the U2000 is installed. User admin is a superuser and has all
operation and management rights. Other users are directly or indirectly created by user
admin.
The U2000 supports the creation, modification, and deletion of users.
The creation of users involves setting detailed information about users, the user group
to which a user belongs, the management domains, the operation rights, and the ACL.
l User group management: The U2000 supports the creation, modification, and deletion of
user groups. The U2000 supports the function of creating a user group to manage users that
have the same rights and to bulk manage rights of NMS users, which reduces management
costs. After the management attributes of a user group are set and a user is added to the
user group, the user has all rights of the user group. A user can be added to multiple user
groups. In this case, the user has all the rights of the user groups as well as the rights that
are assigned to the user. The U2000 provides five default user groups: security management
group, operator group, administrator group, monitor group, and maintainer group.

Right Management
A right defines the operations that can be performed on managed objects. Different users have
different operation rights over different managed objects. The right elements include managed
objects and operation rights, as shown in Figure 5-3.

Figure 5-3 Right

Managed Operation rights(login,


Right management operation, querying)
objects

After NMS users are planned, the users can perform operations on NEs only after rights are
assigned to them.
l Management domain rights define the objects that can be managed by users or user groups,
and the range of the configuration data. For example, if user A is not authorized to manage
equipment C and object set D, equipment C and object set D are invisible to user A in the

topology view. An object set is a collection of multiple pieces of equipment. The U2000
supports the creation, modification, and deletion of object sets.
l Operation rights define the operations that a user can perform. When multiple users manage
the same device or object set, they have different operation rights over the device if different
operation rights are assigned to them. An operation set is a collection of multiple rights.
Operation right management is implemented by managing the operation sets or specific
rights. If operation sets are assigned to users or user groups, they have rights that the
operation sets include. The U2000 supports the creation, modification, and deletion of
operation sets.
l The U2000 also supports right- and domain-based management. Only the operations within
the rights of a user in a certain domain can be performed on NEs of this domain. Only
system administrator and members of the security management group can assign rights and
domains to other users.
Domain-based management refers to dividing equipment nodes, services, or data to
different domains. The administrators of different domains manage different objects
with the domain rights that are assigned to them. Meanwhile, certain NEs can be
assigned directly to a certain user.
Right-based management refers to domain-based authentication. Users and user groups
have different operation rights if they are assigned these rights. After dividing domains
and then dividing rights, the personnel with different duties or positions in the same
domain have different operation rights over different objects in the domain.

User Authentication Management


U2000 provides three types of user authentication management: local authentication, RADIUS
authentication, and LDAP authentication.
l Local authentication: NMS user management, login authentication, and the security
strategy are all implemented by the U2000 server. Local authentication is the management
method of the login authentication by default. For the details, see Local Authentication.
l RADIUS authentication: When a user logs into the U2000, the RADIUS server verifies
and authenticates the login request, and the U2000 assign rights to login users according
the rights that their user group has. For the details, see RADIUS-based Authentication.
l LDAP authentication: When a user logs into the U2000, the LADP server verifies and
authenticates the login request, and the U2000 assign rights to login users according the
rights that their user group has. The LADP-based authentication is similar to the RADIUS-
based authentication, but the authentication protocols are different. For details, see LDAP-
Based Authentication.

Local Authentication
In the local authentication mode, user security management ensures the secure running of the
U2000 in multiple aspects, including local user management, right management, password
policy, account policy, and login control.

l Setting of the password policy


Setting the minimum password length and maximum password length.
Setting the correlation policy between the current password and history passwords,
including the maximum times for password repetition, the number of characters of
history passwords that the current password cannot contain, and whether the password
can be similar to history passwords.

Product Description 5 Basic Functions

Setting the validity period of the password, including the maximum and minimum
period validity of the password, the number of days warning given before the password
expiry.
Setting the rules for the forms of passwords.
l The account policy involves the account validity period, minimum length of a user name,
automatic unlocking time, maximum number of login attempts, timeout period for a login
or unlocking failure, and user policy of no login within a period.
l Login control involves the login mode, the login period control, and the IP address control.
User login mode specifies whether multiple users are allowed to log into the U2000 at
the same time. Usually, multiuser mode is adopted. If you need to perform special
operations on the U2000 server, you can set the user login mode to single-user mode,
avoiding interferences from the operations of other users.
Users can log in to the U2000 only in the specified login period.
The ACL controls the login IP addresses of clients. Users can log in to the U2000 server
only from certain IP addresses. Therefore, even if the user account and the password
are obtained by unauthorized users, these users cannot log in to the U2000 server, and
thus the U2000 security is improved.

RADIUS-Based Authentication
When the RADIUS authentication is adopted, the administrator does not need to create a user
account on the NMS in advance. The user account for logging in to the U2000 is an existing
account that can pass the authentication of the RADIUS server.
When a user enters the user name and password, the security process of the U2000 server sends
the user name and password to the RADIUS server. If the user passes the RADIUS
authentication, the security process learns the user group to which this user belongs, and then
the security process assigns rights to the user according to the operation set policy of the user
group.
NOTE

Before adopting the RADIUS authentication mode, make sure that the name of the user group defined on
the U2000 is the same as that defined in the account database of carriers. In addition, make sure that the
account to be authorized for logging in to the U2000 is added to the corresponding user group.

For the RADIUS-based authentication process, see Figure 5-4.

LDAP-Based Authentication
As a distributed client/server system protocol, LDAP is adopted in the VPN and WAN to control
the users' access to the network and prevent unauthorized users from accessing the networks.
The LDAP-based authentication mode is similar to the RADIUS-based authentication mode
except for different authentication protocols. Compared with the RADIUS authentication, the
LDAP authentication supports the following features:
l Supporting common mode (encryption-free), SSL mode, and TLS mode for the
communication between the U2000 and the LDAP server.
l Supporting multiple LDAP authentication servers and being compatible with the HA
scheme of the U2000.
For the LDAP-based authentication process, see Figure 5-5.

Alarm Display in the Topology View


In the topology view, alarms are displayed in different colors or icons to indicate different status
of the subnets and NEs. The alarms are displayed with two methods: color-coded display and
small icon display. The default method is the small icon display, as shown in Figure 5-7.

You can choose nodes of different levels from the Physical Root navigation tree, for example,
a subnet, a node, or an NE to browse current alarms.

Figure 5-7 Alarm display in the topology view

The alarm display in the topology view has the following features:

l The color of a topological node indicates the operating status (such as normal, unknown,
or offline) and alarm status of the monitored NE.
l When an NE generates multiple alarms of different severities, the color or icon that indicates
the highest alarm severity of these alarms is displayed in the topology view.
l When multiple nodes in a subnet generate alarms, the subnet is displayed in the color or
icon that indicates the highest alarm severity of these alarms.

l You can switch to the current alarm window of an NE using the shortcut menu of the NE
node. In addition, you can query the details of current alarms in the NE Panel.

Automatic Topology Discovery


The U2000 provides an automatic topology discovery function to automatically add NEs to the
topology view. Therefore, the operational expenditure (OPEX) is reduced.

The U2000 supports the automatic topology discovery as follows:


l Bulk creation of NEs
Bulk creation of SNMP/ICMP-based NEs: SNMP/ICMP-based NEs involve the router,
switch, security access NEs. When the U2000 communicates with the preceding NEs
successfully, it can search out the required NEs by IP address or by network segment
and then bulk create these NEs.
Bulk creation of transport/ PTN NEs: Based on the IP address, network segment, or
network service access point (NSAP) address of a GNE, the U2000 automatically
searches out all the NEs that communicate with the GNE and bulk creates the NEs.
Bulk import of NEs: Security GNEs, service monitoring GNEs, and security virtual
network (SVN) series security NEs periodically sends proactive registry messages that
contain the IP addresses of NEs to the U2000 server. With the proactive registry
management, the U2000 bulk creates the NEs after receiving the messages.
l Configuring NEs automatically: The U2000 provides the function of configuring auto-
discovered NEs (such as PTN NEs) automatically.
l Searching for NEs at a scheduled interval: The U2000 searches for NEs of a specified type
in a specified network segment according to the preset conditions at a scheduled interval.
It automatically adds the new NEs to the topology view. NE types are as follows: the
access router, switch, and security NEs.
l Creating fibers/cables or links automatically: The U2000 supports the function of bulk
creating fibers/cables and links. It supports the function of bulk searching and adding new
fibers/cables and links to the topology view automatically after a search.

iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System
5 Basic Functions Product Description

1. The automatic topology discovery is implemented step by step through a wizard. The
wizard instructs you to set the parameters required for the automatic discovery, such as NE
type, SNMP parameters, and the IP address range.
2. After you set the parameters, the U2000 searches for the required NEs in the specified
network segments according to the preset conditions. All NEs from Huawei and other
vendors that meet the conditions are displayed in the topology view. Meanwhile, the basic
configuration data of the NEs is uploaded, which simplifies the configuration of these NEs.
3. You can stop the automatic topology discovery at any time. If the discovery fails, the cause
is displayed.

Clock View and Its Functions


In the clock view, you can set the NE clocks, query network-wide clock synchronization status,
search for clocks, and traces clocks. The U2000 supports the passive optical network (PON)
clocks synchronous Ethernet clocks, IEEE 1588 v2 clocks, and SDH clocks. In the clock view,
NEs of various types can be displayed, such as the PTN, router, access, MSTP, RTN, and NG
WDM NEs.

Figure 5-9 shows the clock view of the U2000 and its functions.

Figure 5-9 Clock view and its functions

l Discovering the clock topology automatically: The U2000 searches for clock links between
all NEs in the entire network to obtain the clock tracing relationships of all NEs. You can
search for clock links by NE or by clock link type. When the clock source of an NE is
changed, the U2000 performs a search again to renew the clock tracing relationships.
l Viewing the clock topology: After the U2000 automatically discovers the clock topology,
you can view the clock tracing relationships in the entire network. To adjust the clock
topology, you can manually create and delete topological nodes and links.
l Configuring clocks: In the clock configuration window of the NE Explorer, you can
configure the clocks of the NE. You can configure the following clocks: PON clocks

synchronous Ethernet clocks, IEEE 1588 v2 clocks, and SDH clocks. The clock
configuration function varies with NE types.
l Monitoring the change of clocks: When an NE or a link fails or a switching of clock sources
occurs in a network, the U2000 automatically updates the clock tracing relationships and
the clock synchronization status in the topology view. According to the clock alarms of the
NE whose clock is changed, you can identify the fault.
l Switching clocks manually: You can select a clock link and set its clock tracing relationship
as the current clock tracing relationships of the NE.

5.4 Alarm Management


When an exception occurs on a network, the U2000 needs to notify maintenance engineers of
the exception in a timely manner, so that the maintenance engineers will recover the network
efficiently.

Alarm management consists of the following functions:


l Network-wide alarm monitoring and remote alarm notification enable the U2000 to notify
maintenance engineers of network exceptions in time so that the engineers will rectify faults
quickly and effectively.
l Alarm correlation analysis, alarm association (with NEs, ports, or services), alarm masking,
alarm suppression, and maintenance experience base improve the accuracy and efficiency
of alarm processing.
l Alarm synchronization ensures the reliability of alarms.
l Custom functions such as alarm filtering, alarm redefinition, and time localization meet
individualized requirements in different scenarios.

Handle different severities of alarms by using different methods. The U2000 supports the
function of redefining the alarm severity so that you can change the severity of a specific alarm
as required. The severity of an alarm needs to be adjusted when the impact of the alarm becomes
larger or smaller.

Alarm Status
l Alarm acknowledgment and alarm clearance
Alarm acknowledgment: An acknowledged alarm indicates that this alarm has been
handled by a user. An alarm can be acknowledged in the following two ways:
Manual acknowledgment: You can select an alarm from the current alarm window
to acknowledge it.
Automatic acknowledgment: If you enable the automatic alarm acknowledgment,
the U2000 acknowledges an alarm immediately after it is cleared or automatically
acknowledges the alarms that are cleared within the specified time at 01:00 every
day.
Alarm clearance: When you delete an alarm, the alarm is cleared from the NE and the
current alarm library of the U2000. After that, the alarm is moved to the history alarm
library.
l Alarm status classification
Based on the acknowledgment and clearance status, alarm status can be classified into the
following types:
Unacknowledged and uncleared
Acknowledged and uncleared
Unacknowledged and cleared

Network-Wide Alarm Monitoring


Traditionally, a network is maintained separately by domain. Faults across domains need to be
located manually, which lowers the locating efficiency. The U2000 provides unified means of
alarm monitoring, such as the alarm panel and alarm browsing, which helps users to understand
the operating status of the network in real time. It also provides alarm query templates that are
a collection of common query criteria. You can create different alarm query templates according
to the region, type, and network layer of the device on which an alarm is generated. The alarm
query templates facilitate the query and monitoring of alarms.
The alarm display function is implemented in three different ways: alarm panel display, alarm
bar chart, and alarm query and browsing. Figure 5-12 shows the alarm panel, and Figure
5-13 shows the alarm bar chart.

Alarm filtering When a large number of alarms exist, you can filter alarms by alarm
name, alarm severity, status, type, last occurrence time segment
and clearance time segment. The alarm filtering function improves
the efficiency of viewing alarms.
You can filter alarms by attributes of alarm sources, such as the
objects of NEs, object groups, and maintenance areas, and create
the required alarm filter templates by customizing the filter criteria.
In this manner, you can select the required alarm filter template to
filter alarms.

Alarm template The alarm template can be customized. Therefore, you can sort
alarms flexibly as required and locate the required alarms quickly.

Alarm viewing You can view the alarms relevant to NEs and services on the
U2000 to learn the operating status of the NEs and networks.
l Viewing current alarms: View current alarms of all severities
on the entire network.
l Viewing all current alarms of a specific severity: You can
quickly learn the critical, major, or minor alarms of the entire

Alarm Statistics
You can quickly learn alarm information by collecting statistics on alarms and analyzing them.
The U2000 can collect statistics on alarms based on the preset conditions. The conditions can
be the name, severity, function type, generation time, alarm status, source of an alarm, or a
combination of the preceding items.

Alarm Masking and Correlation Analysis


l By using the alarm masking function, you can set the alarm/event masking conditions to
avoid display of a large number of redundant alarms.
l While an NE is being repaired, tested, or deployed, the NE may report a large number of
alarms which can be ignored. In this case, you need to mask these alarms so that the
U2000 does not display and save them.
The U2000 provides the following correlation analysis means: alarm/event correlation analysis,
transient alarm analysis, repeated event analysis, alarm/event frequency analysis, and analysis
on duration of acknowledged but uncleared alarms. Figure 5-15 shows the implementation of
alarm correlation analysis.

Figure 5-15 Alarm correlation analysis

l Correlation Analysis
The Default Correlation and Correlation Analysis windows are provided for a
correlation analysis. In the Default Correlation window, the predefined rules for the
alarm correlation analysis are displayed. These rules can be enabled if required. In the
Correlation Analysis window, the rules for the alarm correlation analysis can be
customized.
Correlative alarms are the alarms whose causes are relevant to each other. One of the
alarms is the root cause.
Various alarms are generated when a certain fault occurs. If non-root alarms are
reported, the fault locating and analysis are affected. You can set the rules for the
correlation analysis on the U2000 according to certain features of correlative alarms,
such as generation time and physical locations where the alarms are generated. In this
manner, the U2000 directly discards non-root alarms that meet the preset conditions,
labels them as correlative alarms, and saves them to a suppressed alarm database, or
downgrades their severities.
Figure 5-16 shows the relationships between a root alarm and its correlative alarms.
The alarm for high memory usage of a service causes the alarm for high memory usage
and the alarm for high CPU usage. The alarm for high CPU usage causes the alarm for
abnormal exit of the U2000 service. Therefore, the alarm for high memory usage of a
service is the root alarm and the rest are the correlative alarms.

5 Basic Functions Product Description

Figure 5-16 Relationships between a root alarm and its correlative alarms

l Transient alarm analysis/Repeated event analysis


Transient alarms are the alarms that are cleared twice within the preset period.
If transient alarms are reported continuously within a short period, the NE or services
may be repeatedly switched between the normal state and the abnormal state. To
resolve the problem in time, enable the transient alarm analysis to raise the alarm
severity so that maintenance engineers will pay attention to the alarms. For example,
if an alarm is reported and cleared repeatedly for five times within ten seconds, the
U2000 changes the severity of the alarm to major.
If the repeated alarms generated due to certain faults or under certain circumstances
are redundant to maintenance engineers, lower the alarm severity, sort the repeated
alarms, or directly mask these alarms.
Repeated events are the events that are reported repeatedly within the preset interval.
Alarms or events that are reported repeatedly within a short period due to certain faults
may be redundant to maintenance engineers. For these alarms or events, you can set
analysis rules for transient alarm and repeated events on the U2000. Then, the U2000
displays only the first repeated event or cleared transient alarm and discards the rest.
l Alarm/Event frequency analysis
Alarms of the same type that are generated within a period may be relevant to each
other. After you enable the alarm/event frequency analysis, if the number of the same
alarms generated within a period reaches a certain number, it can be concluded that
those alarms are relevant to each other.
After you set rules for the event/alarm frequency analysis, if the number of specified
alarms generated within a specified period exceeds the preset threshold, it can be
concluded that these alarms are relevant to each other. Then, the U2000 handles these
alarms according to the preset method.
l Analysis on duration of acknowledged but uncleared alarms
Major alarms are normally cleared within 30 minutes after they are handled. If a major
alarm is not cleared in 30 minutes after it is processed, further actions are required. To
ensure that major alarms are handled in time, enable the analysis on duration of

5-24 Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Issue 05 (2010-11-19)

iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System
Product Description 5 Basic Functions

acknowledged but uncleared alarms. If a major alarm is not cleared in 30 minutes after
it is handled, the U2000 changes the severity of the alarm to critical.
Enable this analysis function for the acknowledged alarms that are not cleared for a long
time. The U2000 changes severities of the alarms to a higher level to remind
maintenance engineers of handling the alarms in a timely manner.
l Alarm Correlation on NEs
Alarm correlation rules on NEs are an inherent alarm performance monitoring
mechanism of a logical function block of an NE. These rules cannot be modified.
Understanding the monitoring mechanism helps you to correctly analyze and identify
faults, thus improving the maintenance efficiency.
A root alarm is directly caused by an abnormal event or a fault on the network. A root
alarm generally causes correlative alarms whose severities are lower. For example,
when a fiber is cut, the SDH physical interface (SPI) functional module of an optical
board detects the R_LOS alarm (root alarm). Then, the regenerator section termination
(RST) function module of the regeneration section generates correlative alarms, such
as the R_LOF, R_OOF, B1_SD, and B1_EXC. To prevent the generation of correlative
alarms, you can set the preceding alarm correlation analysis rules and enable the alarm
correlation analysis on the NE to suppress correlative alarms. In this manner, the NE
reports only the root alarm R_LOS to the U2000.
l Alarm Correlation on the NMS
After you set alarm correlation analysis rules on the U2000 and enable the alarm correlation
analysis, correlative alarms are masked.

CAUTION
l Alarm correlation analysis depends on alarm correlation rules. The rules will affect the
analysis result. Exercise caution when setting the rules.
l The default correlation analysis rules on the U2000 are recommended.
l By default, the alarm correlation analysis is disabled. Manually enable this function if
necessary.

Alarm Dumping and Acknowledgment


Alarm acknowledgment enables you to check whether alarms are handled according to the
acknowledgment status of the alarms. Then, you can handle alarms in a timely manner.

l Alarm dumping: Automatic dumping and manual dumping of alarms are supported.
Automatic dumping is classified into overflow dumping and periodic dumping.
l Alarm acknowledgment: Alarms can be acknowledged manually or automatically.
NOTE
Alarm logs can be saved in various formats, such as TXT, HTML, PDF, CVS, and XLS.

Alarm Synchronization
After communication between the U2000 and an NE recovers from an interruption, or the
U2000 is restarted, some alarms on the NE are not reported to the U2000. The NE alarms on the
U2000 are different from the actual alarms on the NE. In the case, you need to synchronize

alarms. Manual synchronization of alarms ensures that the U2000 displays the current operating
status of the NE correctly.

The U2000 supports the function of synchronizing NE alarms manually or automatically. You
can set the policy for automatic alarm synchronization. After you enable automatic alarm
synchronization, the U2000 automatically synchronizes alarms to ensure alarm consistency
between the U2000 and NEs after the communication between the U2000 and NEs recovers or
the U2000 is restarted. Figure 5-17 shows the implementation of alarm synchronization.

Alarms are synchronized according to the following rules:

l If an alarm is cleared from an NE but uncleared on the U2000, the alarm will be cleared
from the U2000.
l If an alarm is present on an NE but absent on the U2000, the alarm will be added to the
U2000.

Figure 5-17 Alarm synchronization

Alarm Redefinition
The U2000 allows you to redefine the severities of alarms on NEs according to the requirements.

This function changes the alarm severity displayed on the U2000, highlighting only the required
alarms.

Alarm Suppression
The U2000 supports the function of suppressing NE alarms. If you set the status of an alarm to
Suppressed, the NE does not report the alarm.

The difference between alarm suppression and alarm masking is as follows: If you enable alarm
masking, an NE still reports the masked alarm but the U2000 does not receive the alarm. If you
enable alarm suppression, the NE does not report the suppressed alarm. For details, see Figure
5-18.

Various Alarm Notification Means


The U2000 provides various alarm notification means. It can notify maintenance engineers of
alarms at any time from anywhere. Therefore, the maintenance engineers will locate and rectify
faults quickly and effectively.
The U2000 also supports two remote notification means: email and short message service (SMS).
When a fault occurs in a network, the U2000 notifies non-onsite maintenance engineers of the
fault. Then, the maintenance engineers will locate and rectify the fault promptly.
l Different filter criteria can be set to enable the U2000 to notify maintenance engineers of
only the required alarms.
l For the alarms that are cleared within a period (a customized delay), the U2000 does not
notify maintenance engineers of these alarms because they do not affect services any more.
Figure 5-19 shows the alarm notification means.

Alarm Time Localization


The NE that reports an alarm and the U2000 may be in different time zones. For the correct
alarm generation time, the U2000 automatically converts the alarm generation time (expressed
in the NE time) into the local time of the U2000.
The U2000 can display the time when an alarm is generated, acknowledged, cleared, or received
as the local time of the U2000 client or server.

5.7 Log Management


Logs record the information about operations performed on the U2000 and important events that
occur in the U2000. The U2000 allows administrators to query and save logs and collect statistics
on logs periodically. This facilitates detection of unauthorized logins and operations and fault
analysis. Specifically, by browsing and collecting statistics on logs, you can query the client
from which a U2000 user logs in to the U2000 server and query the operations performed by
the user after login. You can also dump and print logs. Logs also can record operations that the
OSS performs on NEs through NBIs.
Figure 5-25 shows the log management window and functions of the U2000.

Log Classification
The logs of the U2000 are classified into operation logs, system logs, security logs, and NE logs.
The logs can be saved to TXT, HTML, CSV, PDF, and XLS files.
l Operation logs record the non-security-related operations that users perform, such as
creating a subnet and enabling or disabling the alarm sound.
l System logs record the operations that the U2000 automatically performs, such as scheduled
tasks and system tasks.
l Security logs record the security-related operations that users perform, such as login, logout,
lockout, and unlocking.
l NE Syslog operation logs record operation results of managed NEs. You can learn the
operation logs of NEs on the U2000 client instead of from each NE.
l NE Syslog running logs record the operating information of NEs managed by the U2000.
The U2000 obtains from NEs all Syslog running logs of NEs. You can browse the Syslog
running logs of the managed NEs on the U2000 instead of from each NE.

l U2000 log forwarding: The U2000 can forward its operation logs to the Syslog server to
save the operation information, which releases storage space on the U2000 server. The logs
serve as a reference for maintenance.
l NE log forwarding: The U2000 can forward the information about various NEs in the format
that complies with the system log protocol to the Syslog server. Then, U2000 administrators
and maintenance engineers can view the status of NEs according to the importance of the
NE information.

Dumping and Exporting Logs


The log dumping function enables you to delete the logs that are not required, automatically at
a scheduled time or manually. This function prevents logs from occupying too much space. The
log exporting function enables you to export logs to a file for logs viewing or fault locating.
Figure 5-26 shows the window and functions of the U2000 for dumping and exporting logs.

Figure 5-26 Window and functions of dumping and exporting logs

l Dumping logs
Operation logs, system logs, and security logs can be dumped periodically and
automatically or dumped manually. The logs can also be dumped upon an overflow
when the size of the logs exceeds the preset threshold.
The U2000 provides only one default system task for each type of logs. You cannot
delete the system tasks or create new dumping tasks. You can only modify the
parameters of the system tasks.
Dumped logs are saved to CSV or XML files. You can compress the files into a ZIP

After the logs are exported, they are not deleted from the database.

5.8 Database Management


Database management involves the management of NE databases and U2000 databases, and
maintenance of data consistency between the U2000 and NEs.

NE Database Management
To ensure NE data security, the U2000 provides the functions of backing up and restoring NE
data.
In NE software management, you can back up and restore NE data on a server.
l Back up the NE database to a local or remote server in a manual or scheduled manner.
l Restore the NE database from a local or remote server.
You can use the system control and communication unit (SCC) or CF board on the NE to back
up and restore the NE database for the transport access NEs.
l Back up the NE database to the SCC board manually.
l Back up the NE database to the CF board manually or automatically.
l Restore the NE configuration data from the SCC board or CF board.

NMS Database Management


The database of the U2000 supports two types of storage files. One type is used to store data
and the other type is used to store the logs that record the operating information of the database.
To ensure data security, periodically back up the database. See Figure 5-27.

Security

The U2000 provides a database backup and restoration tool. The tool facilitates database
maintenance and ensures the stability and security of the U2000. It provides the following NMS
database management functions:
l Back up the U2000 database to a local or remote server in the following ways:
Immediate backup
Scheduled backup through task scheduling
l Restore the U2000 database from a local or remote server.
l Dump data in the U2000 database, including logs (such as operation logs, system logs,
security logs, and alarm/event logs) and other data (such as performance data).
Manual dump
Periodic dump
l Import or export script files: Export the configuration data in the U2000 to script files, or
import the configuration data to the U2000 from script files. The configuration upgrade
wizard instructs users to restore the U2000 database by using the configuration data script
that has been backed up. The functions of importing and exporting script files are applicable
to only the PTN MSTP, WDM, and microwave NEs.
Script files can be exported in a scheduled manner through task scheduling.
The U2000 information about the MSTP and WDM NEs can be exported to a TXT file so
that the information can be used by the MDS 6600. In addition, the U2000 can import a
TXT file that contains the MDS 6600 data.
l Initialize the U2000 database: Clear and initialize the U2000 database before restoring the
database in the case where the database data is in disorder or damaged.

Keeping Data Consistency Between the U2000 and NEs


If the configuration data is not synchronous between the U2000 and the NE, the NE icon has a
sign. The U2000 provides rich functions to ensure the security and consistency of the NE

5-40 Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Issue 05 (2010-11-19)

iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System
Product Description 5 Basic Functions

configuration data, such as the uploading, downloading, consistency check, synchronization,


duplication, preconfiguration, and the initialization of the NE data on the U2000.
l Uploading: Data on NEs is reported to the U2000 to overwrite the NE data on the U2000.
The data that is present on the U2000 but absent on NEs is not deleted.
l Downloading: The NE data on the U2000 is applied to the NEs to overwrite the data on
the NEs.
l Consistency check: Check whether the NE data on the U2000 is consistent with the data
on NEs. If it is inconsistent, synchronize or upload the NE configuration data.
l Synchronization: Upload the inconsistent data (including the conflicting data, and the data
that is present on NEs but absent on the U2000) to the NE layer on the U2000. The data
that is present both on the U2000 and NEs is not uploaded, and the data that is present on
the U2000 but absent on NEs is not deleted.
l Duplication: When NEs are of the same type and of the same software version, if the
configuration data of an NE to be configured is the same as that of a configured NE, you
can configure the new NE by duplicating the data of the configured NE. Duplicating the
NE data only changes the data on the U2000 and does not affect the data on the NE. To
make the duplicated data take effect on the NE, you need to apply the configuration.
l Preconfiguration: The configuration data of an NE is saved only at the NE layer on the
U2000 and does not affect the actual configuration data on the NE. The preconfiguration
function is generally used for the large-scale service adjustment or expansion.
l Initialization of the NE data on the U2000: The NE data on the U2000 is deleted and the
NE becomes unconfigured after the initialization.
NOTE

The PTN RTN, NA WDM, and NG WDM product series do not support preconfiguration and the
downloading of configuration data. The U2000 provides more reliable functions, that is, the database
package backup and restoration, to resolve the data restoration problem. This is because:
l The configuration data does not contain complete NE data. The complete data can be obtained by
using the database package restoration function.
l During the downloading of configuration data, the U2000 converts the configuration data to the Qx
interface information. Then, the data can be exchanged between the U2000 and the NE, but the
efficiency is relatively low. In the database package restoration mode, databases are directly
downloaded to the NE, which ensures a high efficiency.
l On the U2000, only one set of configuration data can be saved, but the database package can have
many backup copies. Select the backup package as required.

5.9 NE Communication Parameter Management


The U2000 communicates with managed NEs successfully only after you correctly set the
connection parameters of the U2000 and the managed NEs.
You can query or set the following parameters on the U2000:
l Query and set the NE access protocol parameters.
l Manage the default access protocol parameters.
l Query and set the NE Telnet or STelnet parameters.
l Manage the Telnet or STelnet parameter template.
DCN management is applicable to PTN NEs. The U2000 communicates with NEs, and manages
and maintains network nodes through a DCN network. In the DCN network, the U2000 and NEs
are considered as nodes. These nodes are connected through Ethernet or data communications

the same building or in different buildings or cities. Hence, the U2000 and NEs are usually
connected through an external DCN network that consists of equipment such as switches and
routers. Relatively, the DCN network between NEs is referred to as an internal DCN network.
DCN management involves the following operations:
l Modify gateway NE (GNE) parameters.
l Change the GNE of a non-GNE.
l Set the secondary GNE of a non-GNE.
l Convert a GNE to a non-GNE.
l Convert a non-GNE to a GNE.
l Check the GNE switching status.
l Test the communication between the U2000 and a GNE.
l Check the network communication status.

5.11 NE Software Management


The NE software management module (called DC) is an independent subsystem of the U2000
and it is used to manage software and data on NEs. The DC enables you to back up NE data and
upgrade or downgrade NE software.
l The DC implements the upgrade and downgrade of NEs in the following ways:
l Saving: After the system is configured, the data is saved in the memory of NEs. This feature
saves the system configuration to the flash memory or hard disk of NEs. This prevents the
loss of the configuration file in case of system restart. The DC saves data through:

Saving operation (manual)


Saving task (manual)
Saving policy (automatic)
l Backup: Backs up the configuration to storage devices other than NEs. The backup data is
used for restoring the NE configuration. If the DC has the rights to manage the NE and no
loading, backup, or restoration operation is being performed on the NE, the NE accepts the
request for backup. The DC then transmits the contents for backup to the specified backup
directory on the FTP/TFTP/SFTP server through FTP/TFTP/SFTP. The DC backs up data
through:
Backup operation (manual)
Backup task (manual)
Backup policy (automatic)
l Loading: Loads software for the upgrade to an NE. If the DC has the rights to manage the
NE and no loading, backup, or restoration operation is being performed on the NE, the NE
accepts the request for loading. The DC then transmits the contents for loading to the NE
through FTP/TFTP/SFTP. The DC loads data through:
Loading operation (manual)
Loading task (manual)
Upgrading task (automatic)
l Restoration: Restores NE data from the backup to an NE. If the DC has the rights to manage
the NE and no loading, backup, or restoration operation is being performed on the NE, the
NE accepts the request for restoration. The DC then transmits the contents for restoration
to the NE through FTP/TFTP/SFTP. The DC restores data through the manual restoration
operation.
l Policy and Task: The DC provides different methods for implementing features. For
example, you can save and back up data through a policy or a task.
A policy is periodic. It is mainly used for the operations that are performed frequently,
such as data saving and data backup.
A task is not periodic. It is mainly used for the operations that are not performed
frequently, such as data upgrading and data loading.
Users can select a method according to the actual situation.

5.12 Report Management


The U2000 provides reports about alarms, logs, and resources. You can print the required data
or save the data as a file when viewing it. The reports in tabular format can be filtered by
equipment type and saved in XLS, TXT, HTML, or CSV files.
You can view reports on the U2000 in the following ways:
l Viewing resource reports on the U2000 client
l Viewing iWeb reports through the IE browser, including alarm reports, log reports,
performance reports, and resource reports of equipment in the IP domain

About This Chapter

This topic describes the functional features of MSTP NE management and network management.

6.1 MSTP NE Management


NE management refers to the management of configurations of an NE in terms of attributes,
communication, services, protection, and clocks. The configuration data is saved to the database
of the U2000 and to the database of the NE.
6.2 MSTP Protection Subnet Management
A protection subnet is a network structure with the comprehensive self-protection function. In
the U2000, the protection subnet is a generalized concept that includes not only the network
structure with the comprehensive self-protection function, such as an MSP ring and a path
protection (PP) ring, but also the network structure without the self-protection function, such as
an unprotected ring and an unprotected chain.
6.3 E2E MSTP Management
E2E network management is also referred to as trail management. You can construct the
configuration data of E2E network management by searching for the data at the NE layer of the
U2000, or directly configure the data at the network layer of the U2000, and apply the data to
all the related NEs. Compared with configuring NE data on a per-NE basis, configuring NE data
by using the trail management function is faster and more convenient.
6.4 SDH ASON Management
The automatically switched optical network (ASON) is a new generation of optical network that
integrates the exchange and transport functions. After a user initiates a service request, the ASON
selects a route automatically, establishes and removes connections through the signaling control,
and performs network connections automatically and dynamically. An ASON NE refers to the
equipment that is equipped with both SDH and ASON features. An ASON is managed by the
U2000 that combines ASON and SDH features.

7 WDM Network Feature Management

About This Chapter

This topic describes the functions and features of WDM NE management and network
management.

7.1 WDM NE Management


NE management refers to management of the configurations of an NE in terms of attributes,
services, protection, and clocks. The configuration object is a single NE. The data is saved to
the NE database on the U2000 and the NE database on the NE.
7.2 WDM NA NE Management
NE management includes setting of attributes and configuration of communication, services,
protection, and clocks on a per-NE basis. The configuration data is saved at the NE layer on the
U2000 and in the database of the NE.
7.3 WDM Protection Subnet Management
A protection subnet is a network with holistic self-protection. On the U2000, the protection
subnet is a general concept that refers to not only a network with holistic self-protection, such
as a multiplex section protection (MSP) ring or a path protection (PP) ring, but also a network
without self-protection, such as an unprotected ring or an unprotected chain.
7.4 End-to-End WDM Management
End-to-end network management is also referred to as trail management. You can construct the
configuration data about end-to-end network management by searching for the data at the NE
layer of the U2000, or directly configure the data at the network layer of the U2000, and apply
the data to all related NEs. Compared with configuring NE data on a per-NE basis, configuring
NE data by using the trail management function is quicker and more convenient.
7.5 WDM ASON Management
The automatically switched optical network (ASON) is a new generation of optical network that
integrates switch and transport functions. After a user initiates a service request, the ASON
selects a route automatically, establishes and disconnects connections by using signaling control,
and establishes network connections automatically and dynamically. An ASON NE refers to the
equipment that is enabled with both WDM and ASON features. An ASON network is managed
by the U2000 that combines ASON and WDM features.

7 WDM Network Feature Management Product Description

7.1 WDM NE Management


NE management refers to management of the configurations of an NE in terms of attributes,
services, protection, and clocks. The configuration object is a single NE. The data is saved to
the NE database on the U2000 and the NE database on the NE.

Basic NE Configuration
You can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Synchronize NE time: Send the computer system time, NTP server time, or standard NTP
server time at the U2000 server to all NEs for synchronizing the NE time. You can set the
U2000 to automatically synchronize the NE time by specifying the automatic
synchronization period.
l Query the physical inventory information, including information about the
telecommunications rooms, racks, NEs, shelves, boards, and ports.
l Implement the board plug and play feature: After a board is inserted into a slot, the NE
Panel automatically displays the board and the board information.
l Disable NE functions automatically: You can set the time when the U2000 automatically
disables certain NE functions that may affect services. At the time specified, these functions
are automatically disabled.
l Modify the following NE attributes:
NE name
NE ID
Extended NE ID
Remarks
NE pre-configuration
l Modify the following attributes of an optical NE:
Name
Remarks
Resources assigned
l Manage environment monitoring information: You can set the PMU interface, NE fan
speed, temperature monitoring, and voltage monitoring.
l Manage network operator information: You can set the information about the network
operator, including the international identifier, domestic identifier, and user-defined
identifier.
l Search for and create NEs by discovering NE IP addresses automatically.

Orderwire Configuration
You can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Set a board as an orderwire board and query the orderwire board information.
l Set and query the orderwire phone numbers, call waiting time, dialing mode, and orderwire
phone port availability.
l Set and query network-wide conference call numbers.

l Set and query a broadcast data port.
l Set E1 cross-connections.

Configuration for Ethernet Interfaces and Services


By using the U2000, you can perform the following operations:

l Configure Ethernet port mirroring. You can monitor packets, perform routine maintenance
and in-service commissioning through a mirrored port in a flexible manner.
l Set the following attributes of an internal Ethernet interface:
Basic attributes
Flow control
Tag attributes
Network attributes
Bound path
Advanced attributes
l Set the following attributes of an external Ethernet interface:
Basic attributes
Flow control
Tag attributes
Network attributes
Advanced attributes
l Configure E-Line services such as Ethernet private line (EPL), Ethernet virtual private line
(EVPL) (QinQ), and VLAN subnetwork connection protection (SNCP) services.
NOTE

l QinQ is a VLAN embedding technique that employs multi-layer VLAN IDs to identify different users.
In this manner, VLAN resources are expanded. The U2000 supports the function of adding labels.
l A VLAN SNCP service is a VLAN-based E-Line service that is configured with SNCP protection.
You can create VLAN SNCP and QinQ VLAN SNCP services, and perform conversion between a
VLAN SNCP service and a common Ethernet service.
l Configure Ethernet private LAN (EPLAN) services: You can create a virtual bridge (VB)
and set parameters including service mounting, VLAN filtering, VLAN unicast, MAC
address disablement, bound path, and MAC address automatic learning.
l Set the following parameters for QoS:
Flow
CAR
CoS
Flow shaping
Port shaping
l Configure link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS): LCAS can dynamically adjust the
number of virtual containers for mapping desired services, so as to satisfy different

bandwidth requirements of services. In this manner, bandwidth utilization and robustness


of virtual connections are improved.
l Configure OAM for Ethernet services.
l Configure OAM for Ethernet ports.
l Configure the intra-board LAG function.
l Configure the inter-board LAG function.
l Configure the VLAN group function.
l Configure port MAC address filtering.
l Test frames received and transmitted on Ethernet boards.
l Configure the protocol diagnosis function.
l Configure the QinQ type area.
l Configure the following attributes for Ethernet Layer 2 switching:
Aging time
Spanning tree
IGMP snooping protocol
l Configure the multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP): MSTP is compatible with STP and
RSTP, and it also addresses the defects of STP and RSTP. MSTP supports fast convergence.
In addition, MSTP provides multiple redundancy trails for data forwarding, implementing
load balancing of VLAN data during data forwarding.
l Configure MPLS tunnels: On a PSN network, an MPLS tunnel carries pseudo wires (PWs)
where various services are encapsulated. In this manner, data packets can be transparently
transmitted among NEs. You can dynamically adjust the required number of virtual
containers for service mapping so as to adapt to the requirements for different service
bandwidths, at the same time improving bandwidth utilization and robustness of virtual
concatenations.
l Configure link-state pass through (LPT): LPT is used to return the remote-end link status
to the near end. The near-end equipment performs operations depending on the remote-end
link status. The Ethernet board periodically monitors the network to learn the Ethernet
status. When the connection status of Ethernet ports changes due to a link fault, you can
use the LPT function to quickly switch services from the working route to the protection
route between the two ends. The LPT feature protects transmission of important data.
l Configure Ethernet ring protection switching (ERPS): Based on the traditional Ethernet
mechanism, ERPS uses the ETH OAM function and the ring automatic protection switching
(R-APS) protocol to achieve fast protection switching on the Ethernet ring network.
l Configure automatic reporting of RMON performance of Ethernet boards.
l Dump history RMON performance data of Ethernet boards.

Optical Power Adjustment


You can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Manage the optical power. For example, query the input power, output power, and power
threshold of each WDM board.
l Perform intelligent power adjustment (IPA). When a fiber is cut, the optical amplifier board
detects signal loss at the local station. The local station reports an exception event to the
U2000. After the user confirms the event, the optical amplifier boards at the upstream and
downstream stations reduce their output power to a safe value to prevent a fiber maintainer
from being injured by the laser emitted from the cut fiber. After the fiber is reconnected,
the optical signals recover to normal and the optical power of each optical amplifier board
automatically returns to a normal value.
l Perform automatic level control (ALC). The U2000 supports adjustment modes including
wavelength count detection, power detection, and link attenuation (gain mode). In
wavelength count detection mode and power detection mode, you can manually control
whether to enable the ALC function.
The wavelength count detection mode applies to a transmission link where no service
is added or dropped or where the number of wavelengths added and dropped are the
same at an OADM station. When the spectrum analyzer unit detects that the total optical
power of the wavelengths greatly differs from the standard power corresponding to the

Product Description 7 WDM Network Feature Management

wavelength count, an exception event is reported to the U2000. After the user confirms
the event, the user needs to manually issue a command to adjust the attenuation of each
station on the link.
The power detection mode applies to a transmission link where the number of add
wavelengths differs from the number of drop wavelengths at an OADM station. When
the optical amplifier board detects that the output power is abnormal, the station
automatically issues a command to adjust the attenuation of each station on the link.
This mode does not involve a spectrum analyzer unit and is therefore cost-effective.
The link attenuation adjustment mode also applies to a transmission link where the
number of add wavelengths differs from the number of drop wavelengths at an OADM
station. When the optical power is attenuated to the detection threshold, a command is
automatically issued to adjust the attenuation of each station on the link.
NOTE

The link attenuation adjustment mode is also referred to as the gain mode, which compares line attenuation
with amplifier gain, and then compares the difference between line attenuation and amplifier gain with
node gain compensation offset. After the nominal gain of the optical amplifier unit and the attenuation of
the attenuation adjustment unit are adjusted, the attenuation is equal to the gain, ensuring the power budget
of the entire link.
l Perform automatic power equilibrium (APE). If the MCA board at the receive end detects
that the optical power of certain channels is abnormal, the station reports an exception event
to the U2000. After the user confirms the event, the U2000 issues a command to the optical
attenuation adjustment board of the upstream station. This board adjusts the optical power
of the abnormal channel so that the optical signal noise ratio (OSNR) of each channel at
the receive end is equalized.
l Perform ROADM optical power equalization. After ROADM is enabled for dynamically
configuring wavelength services, the WDM equipment outputs multiplexed wavelengths.
The optical power between each channel, however, may be greatly different, especially for
new add wavelengths. To avoid negative impact on transmission performance, the ROADM
optical power equalization mechanism is provided. The ROADM first distinguishes
between pass-through wavelengths and the add wavelengths. Then the DWC/WSS adjusts
the optical power of the pass-through wavelengths, and the optical attenuation adjustment
board adjusts the add wavelengths based on wavelength flags.
l Configure pre-alerts for optical power at ports.

Dispersion Compensation
You can perform the following operations on the U2000:

l Perform dispersion compensation (with the help of the DCM board) at each band to
implement dispersion equalization.
l Use tunable dispersion compensators (TDCs) to adjust dispersion precisely.
l In the submarine system, use a separate dispersion compensation board, such as the TDC1
or TDC2 board, to perform dispersion compensation for signals on the line side of an OTU
board.

l Activate or deactivate services.
l Configure SNCP services.
l Switch between an SNCP service and a common service.
l Query the capacities of higher order and lower order cross-connections on an NE.
l Configure subnetwork connection tunnel protection (SNCTP). SNCTP provides protection
channels at the VC4 level. When the working channel is faulty, all its services are switched
to the protection channel.
l Configure linear multiplex section protection (MSP). In the MSP protection, bytes K1 and

the optical signals recover to normal and the optical power of each optical amplifier board
automatically returns to a normal value.
l Perform automatic level control (ALC). Link attenuation (gain mode) can be used as the
adjustment mode. The link attenuation adjustment mode applies to a transmission link
where the number of add wavelengths differs from the number of drop wavelengths at an
OADM. When the optical power is attenuated to the detection threshold, a command is
automatically issued to adjust the attenuation of each station on the link.
NOTE

The link attenuation adjustment mode is also referred to as the gain mode, which compares line attenuation
with amplifier gain, and also compares node gain with compensation offset. After the nominal gain of an
optical amplifier unit and the attenuation value of an attenuation adjustment unit are adjusted, the
attenuation value is equal to the gain value, ensuring the power budget of the entire link.
l Perform automatic power equilibrium (APE). If an MCA board at the receive end detects
that the optical power of certain channels is abnormal, the station reports an exception event
to the U2000. After the user confirms the event, the U2000 issues a command to the optical
attenuation adjustment board at the upstream station. This board adjusts the optical power
of the abnormal channel so that the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of each channel
at the receive end is equalized.
l Perform ROADM optical power equalization. After ROADM is enabled for dynamically
configuring wavelength services, the WDM equipment outputs multiplexed wavelengths.
The optical power, however, may deviate greatly on channels, especially on new
wavelength channels. To avoid negative impact on transmission performance, the ROADM
optical power equalization mechanism is provided. The ROADM first distinguishes
between pass-through wavelengths and add wavelengths. Then the DWC/WSS adjusts the
optical power of the pass-through wavelengths, and the optical attenuation adjustment
board adjusts the add wavelengths based on wavelength flags.
l Configure pre-alerts for the optical power at a port.

Dispersion Compensation
l The G.652 and G.655 fibers have positive dispersion coefficient and positive dispersion
slope at the 1550 nm window. After an optical signal is transmitted over a certain distance,
accumulation of positive dispersion broadens the optical signal pulse and seriously affects
system transmission performance. To minimize this impact, a negative DCM is used on
the network. The negative DCM uses negative dispersion to compensate the positive
dispersion of the transmission fiber, so as to maintain the original shape of the signal pulse.
l An OEQ NE can apply dispersion compensation at each band to achieve dispersion
equalization.
l The U2000 supports 40G dispersion compensation, which uses the TDC to adjust dispersion
precisely.

Wavelength Monitoring
Wavelength monitoring uses a wavelength supervisory unit to monitor the wavelengths that are

Bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) can be used to check the Ethernet link status.

BFD is a simple Hello protocol. It is similar to the neighbor detection of those famous protocols
in many aspects. A pair of systems periodically sends detection packets on the channel on which
session between the two systems was created. If a system does not receive any detection packet
from the opposite end within a specific time, the system assumes that a failure occurred in some
part of the bidirectional channel of the adjacent system.

QoS Configuration
Quality of service (QoS) indicates the performance of the data flow that travels through a
network. The QoS is used to ensure end-to-end service quality. The QoS cannot increase the
bandwidth, but it can minimize the delay and jitter in the network by reasonably allocating and
monitoring network resources. In this way, the quality of important services is ensured.

The DiffServ (DS) domain consists of a group of network nodes that enable the DiffServ
function, that is, DS nodes. In a DS domain, all DS nodes use the same service provision policy
to realize the same per-hop behavior (PHB). The DS nodes are classified into edge DS nodes
and internal DS nodes. The edge DS nodes usually perform complex flow classification on the
traffic that enters the DS domain. Traffic of different types is marked with different PHB service
types. For internal DS nodes, you need to perform only simple flow classification based on PHB
service type.

The U2000 supports the following QoS operations:


l Configure Diffsever domains.
l Configure ATM CoS mapping.
l Configure simple flow classification and complex flow classification.

LAG/MC LAG Configuration


A link aggregation group (LAG) aggregates multiple Ethernet physical links to form a logical
link with a higher transmission rate. This function improves link availability and increases link
capacity.
A multi-chassis (MC) LAG achieves load sharing between NEs.
The U2000 supports the configuration of the following LAG/MC LAG attributes:
l Load sharing type (sharing or non-sharing)
l LAG types (manual or static)
l Load sharing hash algorithm
l Port priority and system priority

LMSP/MC LMSP Configuration


Linear MSP (LMSP) includes 1+1 linear MSP and 1:N linear MSP. The protection scheme uses
the protection channel to protect services that are transmitted on the working channel. When the
working channel fails, services are switched to the protection channel. Linear MSP applies to
the POS interface and structured STM interface.
The multi-chassis (MC) LMSP can implement the LMSP between NEs.
The U2000 supports the following LMSP/MC LMSP functions:
l Create LMSP groups
l Check the status of LMSP groups
l Perform a linear MSP switching

MSTP Configuration
The multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP) can be used to clear loops in a network. The MSTP
uses a specific algorithm to block some redundant trails and change a loop network to a non-
loop tree network. This function prevents packet increase in a loop network and generation of
broadcast storms in an endless cycle. Different from the STP and RSTP, the MSTP can forward
data according to VLAN packets, achieving load balance of VLAN data.
The U2000 provides the following functions:
l Configure parameters of port groups and bridges
l Configure CIST and MSTI parameters
l Query CIST status and MSTI status

IGMP Snooping Configuration

l Manage routes
l Configure route member ports
l Query statistics of IGMP protocol packets.

BFD Configuration
The bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) protocol can be used to check the Ethernet link
status.

BFD is a simple Hello protocol. It is similar to the neighbor detection of those famous protocols
in many aspects. A pair of systems periodically send detection packets on the bidirectional
channel where a session between the two systems is created. If a system does not receive any
detection packet from the opposite end in a specific time, the system regards that a failure occurs
on the channel.

The U2000 supports the BFD detection on IP/GRE tunnels and the interior gateway protocol
(IGP).

LPT Configuration
The link state pass through (LPT) protocol is used to return the remote-end link status to the
near end. The near-end equipment performs operations according to the remote-end link status.
When the intermediate transmission network is faulty, the LPT immediately informs the access
equipment at both ends of the transmission network to activate the backup network. In this
manner, the normal transmission of important data is ensured.

QoS Configuration
The quality of service (QoS) indicates the performance of the data flow that travels through a
network. The QoS is used to ensure end-to-end service quality. The QoS cannot increase the
bandwidth, but it can minimize the delay and jitter in the network by properly allocating and
monitoring network resources. In this manner, the quality of important services is ensured.

The DiffServ (DS) domain consists of a group of network nodes that enable the DiffServ
function, that is, DS nodes. In a DS domain, all DS nodes use the same service provision policy
to achieve the same per-hop behavior (PHB). DS nodes are classified into edge DS nodes and
internal DS nodes. Edge DS nodes usually perform complex flow classification on the traffic
that enters the DS domain. Different types of traffic are marked with different PHB service types.
Internal DS nodes only need to perform simple flow classification based on PHB service types.

The U2000 supports the following QoS functions:

l Configure QoS profile


l Configure DiffServ domains
l Configure ATM CoS mapping
l Configure SVLAN DEI used flag
l Configure simple flow classification and complex flow classification
l Configure CAR and shaping
l Configure the color blindness mode

l Configure the service WRED policy


l To simplify operations and share common QoS configuration parameters, the U2000
supports the creation of QoS function point policies, including port policy, ATM policy,
V-UNI ingress policy, V-UNI egress policy, PW policy, and QinQ policy. By using these
function point policies, you can bind CAR configuration, shaping configuration, flow
classification configuration, WFQ schedule policy, WRED policy, and color blindness
mode.
l Configure CoS queue mapping
l Configure the QoS profile for applying the same QoS policies to multiple NEs.

MPLS Tunnel Configuration


The multi-protocol label switch (MPLS) protocol achieves transparent transmission of data
services. MPLS tunnels are the tunnels defined in the MPLS protocol. Independent from the
service, the MPLS tunnel achieves end-to-end transmission and carries the PWs related to the
service.

See Figure 9-1. Unicast MPLS tunnel is mainly used to transparently transmit point-to-point
PWE3 services.

MS PW Configuration
By creating multi-segment pseudowire (MS-PW) to transmit services, you can save tunnel
resources and transmit services over different networks.

PW APS/MC PW APS Configuration


As a network protection mechanism, PW automatic protection switching (APS) is intended to
protect the services on the working PW with a protection PW. That is, when the working PW is
faulty, the services on the working PW are switched to the protection PW. In this manner, the
services on the working PW are protected.
The MC PW APS can be used to implement inter-NE PW APS protection.
The following PW APS/MC PW APS functions can be performed on a per-NE basis:
l Create protection groups
l Bind the master and slave protection pairs

IP Tunnel and GRE Tunnel Configuration


If the equipment at the two ends of an IP network does not support MPLS tunnels, PWE3 services
can pass through the IP network by using IP tunnels or GRE tunnels.
IP tunnels and GRE tunnels mainly apply to the Offload scenarios of mobile communication.
The U2000 supports the configuration of bidirectional IP tunnels and GRE tunnels on a per-NE
basis.

Dual-Homing Protection Configuration


In the case of dual-homing protection, two PE nodes (dual-homing nodes) are connected to one
CE node through attachment circuit (AC) links so that the services received by the PE nodes at
both ends of the bearer network can be protected.
The following types of dual-homing protection can be configured for ATM and CES services:

E-LAN Service Configuration


Based on the self-learning of MAC addresses, E-LAN services achieve packet forwarding
between multiple V-UNI and NNI interfaces.

See Figure 9-7. The HQ of Company A is in City 3. Company A has Branch A in City 1, City
2, and City 3, and has Branch B in City 1 and City 2. Branch A and Branch B do not have business
with each other. Hence, the data should be isolated between the two branches. The HQ has
requirements of communicating with each branch and accessing the Internet.

Figure 9-7 E-LAN service

E-LAN services use different VLAN IDs to identify service data of different branches. In this
way, data is shared within a branch and is isolated from the data for other branches. The Internet
data of the HQ is also isolated from the internal service data by using the VLAN.

The U2000 supports the following functions associated with E-LAN services on a per-NE basis:

l Create E-LAN services that are carried on port


l Create E-LAN services that are carried on PWs
l Create E-LAN services that are carried on QinQ links

l Disable an MAC address


l Configure the self-learning of MAC addresses
l Select the tunnel where a PW is carried online

Service Mirroring Configuration


In service mirroring, all packets that enter a certain port are duplicated and then duplicated
packets are transmitted through an observation port. In this manner, the normal service is scarcely
affected when packets of the mirrored service are captured and analyzed.

You can configure the service mirroring as follows:

l Local service mirroring


l Remote service mirroring

MPLS OAM Configuration


MPLS OAM is an OAM function of the MPLS network. This function can check the quality of
LSPs in an MPLS network. The MPLS OAM scheme can effectively detect a defect inside the
network at the MPLS layer, and then report and handle the defect. When a fault occurs, the
MPLS OAM triggers a protection switching.

The U2000 provides the following MPLS OAM functions:

l Configure MPLS OAM parameters of a tunnel


l Perform CV/FFD check
l Perform LSP ping check
l Perform PW ping check
l Perform LSP traceroute check

Ethernet Service OAM Configuration


Ethernet service OAM is an end-to-end OAM function for services. This function can check the
quality of Ethernet links that pass through multiple NEs. The Ethernet service OAM checks an
Ethernet link by sending OAM packets. The OAM packet is handled only at the MAC layer. As
a low rate protocol, the OAM protocol occupies very low network bandwidth. Hence, this
function does not affect services carried by the link.

The U2000 provides the following Ethernet service OAM functions:

l Create maintenance domains (MDs), maintenance associations (MAs), maintenance end


points (MEPs), and maintenance intermediate points (MIPs)
l Perform a CC check

ATM OAM is an end-to-end OAM function for ATM services. This function can check the
quality of ATM links that pass through multiple NEs. The ATM OAM function checks an ATM
link by inserting some OAM cells of the standard cell structure into the user cell flow.

The U2000 provides the following ATM OAM functions:

l Set segment end attributes


l Perform CC activation tests
l Perform remote loopbacks
l Settin the LLID
l Configure ATM alarm transmission

NMS Server Configuration


After the IP address of the NMS is configured on the gateway NE, all the managed non-gateway
NEs can automatically go online after being powered on.

9.2 E2E PTN Management


E2E network management is also referred to as trail management, which means the trail-based
configuration of network management data. The trail-based configuration can be performed by
searching for the NE-layer data on the U2000 or by configuring the network-layer data on the
U2000. Then, the configuration is delivered to all associated NEs. Compared with the NE-based
configuration, the trail-based configuration is easier.

Issue 05 (2010-11-19) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 10-13


Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System
10 Router Feature and Switch Feature Management Product Description

Global templates are created in advance and saved on the U2000. They are not created on
devices. The creation of global templates is irrelevant to the equipment status.
l Global validity
A global template can be referenced by all the devices managed by the U2000.
l Minimal duplicate data
After a global template is applied, the U2000 keeps only one record on the devices that
reference this template.
When a device references a global template, the U2000 does not add a record of template
data. The U2000 only records the reference relationship between the device and the
template.
l A global template can be referenced by a large number of devices of the same type. The
number of global templates, therefore, is small. Consequently, global templates are easy to
manage.

Main Templates
The main templates are as follows:

l ACL template
An ACL template allows you to configure ACLs on multiple interfaces of different routers
at the same time, simplifying attack defense configurations on the network access side.
l QoS template
Routers support the following QoS templates, which can be applied to NE interfaces in
batches:
CBQoS templates

Configuring static, OSPF, and BGP private routes
Configuring VPN services in inter-AS OptionA or inter-AS OptionB mode
Configuring the service wholesale feature of BGP/MPLS VPNs based on the ME60
l In service wholesale mode, the ME60 forwards all the user service packets of a certain ISP
to the access server of the ISP through VPNs.
In this mode, the ME60 does not forward packets according to the destination IP
addresses of the packets as it usually does. Instead, the ME60 forwards packets
according to the ISP information of the users and forwards all the packets from the users
to the access server of the ISP. The access server of the ISP then implements the related
services or performs service accounting.
With the service wholesale feature, the U2000 can support the multi-ISP service. The
multi-ISP service is also called the virtual ISP service. For a multi-ISP service, multiple
ISPs exist on a physical network. These ISPs lease the physical network of the physical
network provider to operate services. Generally, the providers who construct physical
networks are called network service providers (NSPs) and the providers who lease
physical networks to operate services are called ISPs.

or the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) protocol.
l Multiple Web protocols, such as Java script, Hyper Text Marked Language (HTML), CSS,
and Applet, and technologies related to Web 2.0 are supported.

11.3 Centralized Security Policy Configuration


Deploying a set of security devices with comprehensive security technologies on a network does
not mean that the network is well secured.
During network security maintenance, deploying a satisfied security scheme for a small-sized
local network is a complicated task. Designing and deploying a reliable security scheme for a
large-scale network is a more difficult and challenging task.
Centralized security policy configuration provides a reliable and stable protection system for a
network. It is implemented on security devices deployed on the network.
Centralized security policy configuration has the following features:
l Policy package management
A policy package can manage all security devices on a network. A policy package
consists of security policy, attack defense, and service port mapping.
Users can create their own policy packages. A policy package can include all security
configurations such as creating, deploying, removing, and verifying configurations.
l Configuration and management scope
Security policy
Attack defense
Service port mapping
Policy resource
l Policy recovery
During network security management and maintenance, the data consistency between
the U2000 and devices must be ensured so that the actual network configurations can
be accurately displayed on the U2000.
Policy recovery can restore the security policies and attack defense configurations
deployed on devices and the used resources of devices to the U2000, achieving the data
consistency between the NMS and devices.
l Policy audit
Auditing the configuration data difference between the U2000 and devices helps to ensure
data consistency between the NEs and the U2000.
l Security policy configuration and management in two dimensions
1. Service-dimension configuration: manages services that are deployed on multiple or
all devices on a network. This allows users to manage and audit services in a unified
manner. Users do not need to configure and check services on devices separately,
reducing the cost and improving the efficiency.
2. Single NE-dimension configuration: manages the configurations of a single NE. Users
can check security configurations, create, modify, deploy, and remove configurations
on a single NE, and import the configurations of other NEs to this NE.
l Policy deployment status display

11.3.1 Policy Package Management


This topic describes the fuction of policy package management.
This feature allows you to create, modify, delete, verify, deploy, undeploy, discover, and audit
policy packages, view the deployment and audit result of policy packages.
By changing operations based on single policies and single devices to centralized operations
based on batch policies and multiple devices, this feature increases operation efficiency and
reduces maintenance cost.
The policy packages verifying function ensures the correctness of policy package configurations
and correlations among the policies within the same policy package. With the policy verifying
function, you can correctly deploy policy packages on devices and avoid repeated modifications
due to configuration errors during policy deployment.
Policy auditing is to audit the policy configuration differences between the NMS and device, so
as to determine whether the policy needs to be deployed or discovered.
Policy discovery is to recover the data synchronized to the database to the NMS for management.
The rights to perform various operations on policy packages are under control. Operations on
policy packages are recorded in logs for the policy maintenance personnel to monitor and manage
policies.

As flexible support for the IP protocol, security services can be classified into TCP
services, UDP services, ICMP services, and other services. The U2000 provides some
basic services by default. You can create different services by adding different
parameter settings to the same protocol. Different types of services can form a service
group. A rule corresponds to one or multiple services. In the case where a rule
corresponds to multiple services, these services can be in a service group or map to these
services. When you log in to the U2000 for the first time, the U2000 provides some
services by default.
Address set
When setting source and destination addresses on the U2000, you can either set single
IP addresses or set address sets.
Time range
Time ranges are classified into two types: continuous time ranges and periodic time
ranges. A continuous time range starts from one time point and ends at another time
point. Rules are valid only within the time range. A period time range is on a weekly
cycle. You need to set the start time and end time of a day and specify on which days
of a week the rules are valid. Then the rules will take effect on a weekly cycle.
Port set
A port set is a collection of single, continuous, or discontinuous port numbers, specifying
the ports through which the server can provide services. The value of a port set ranges
from 0 to 65535.
l Configuration log server
Binary flow logs of devices can be sent to binary servers via configuration of log server.

l Manage PWs.
l Manage tunnel tags and PW labels.

ACL and QoS Management


ACL and QoS management includes the management of the access control list (ACL), quality
of service (QoS), time segments, and hierarchical QoS (HQoS).
In a traditional packet-based network, all packets are treated in the same way. Every router adopts
the first-in first-out (FIFO) policy to process packets, and makes its best effort to transmit packets
to the destination. The router, however, does not make any commitment to packet transmission
performance, such as the delay, delay variation (jitter), packet loss rate, and reliability. With the
rapid development of the computer network, more and more networks are connected to the
Internet. In addition, new services are emerging and raise new requirements on the service
capability of the IP network. Therefore, network-wide end-to-end QoS solutions are called into
attention, which necessitates QoS assurance for services. To achieve so, devices must be able
to apply QoS techniques and provide hierarchical QoS guarantee for different types of service
streams (especially for those highly sensitive to delay and jitter). For ACL management, you
can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Configure one or more time segments, and associate a time segment with an ACL by
specifying the name of the time segment in the ACL.
l Query, modify, create, and delete the ACL of the standard, extended, Layer 2, and user-
defined types.

iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System
Product Description 12 FTTx Network Feature Management

QoS management includes filtering packets based on ACL, tagging priorities, limiting traffic
and port rate, collecting statistics on traffic, redirecting, and mirroring. On the U2000, you can
query, add, modify, and delete a QoS policy.

HQoS stands for the hierarchical QoS. It not only controls user traffic but also schedules packets
according to the priorities of user services. On the U2000, you can query, add, modify, and delete
an HQoS policy.

BFD Management
The BFD can quickly check the link status between two devices.

To mitigate the impact of device faults on services and to improve the network availability, a
network device needs to quickly detect any fault occurring between the device and its adjacent
devices. Actions can then be taken to ensure service continuity. The BFD enables the device to
check the connectivity of a type of data protocol of the same trail between two systems. The trail
can be a physical or a logical link, including a tunnel. The BFD mechanism is a remedy for the
weakness of the existing detection mechanism.

User Security and System Security Management


You can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Configure user access in PITP mode.
l Configure user access in DHCP option 82 mode.
l Configure user access control.
l Configure system secure access.

Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management


As the Ethernet technology extends from carrier networks to metropolitan area networks
(MANs) and wide area networks (WANs), carriers are increasingly concerned about the
maintainability of equipment, especially the Ethernet equipment. An imperative demand for the
operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) of transport equipment hence arises. The
802.1ag connectivity fault management (CFM) provides a method for detecting faults end-to-
end. The Ethernet OAM mechanisms supported by 802.1ag CFM include connectivity check
(CC), loopback (LB), link trace (LT), and forward AIS alarms. You can perform the following
operations on the U2000:
l Manage maintenance domains (MDs). Ethernet CFM divides a network into up to eight
levels. A bridge can span multiple levels to manage different MDs. A CFM MD is
constituted by bridges. An MD is the combination of bridges and maintenance levels. MDs
can be classified into three layers: user domain (levels 7-5), service provider domain (levels
4-3), and carrier domain (levels 2-0). Different MDs are maintained by different
management entities.
l Manage maintenance associations (MAs). An MD can be divided into multiple MAs. Each
MA maps a service instance (SI) that belongs to an MD and is identified by a VLAN. An
MA can be regarded as a combination of an MD and a VLAN. According to the standards,
multiple VLANs can map one SI, and one SI maps one MA.
l Manage maintenance points (MPs). An MA consists of MPs defined on the ports of bridges.
An MP is a combination of a bridge port, a VLAN, and a maintenance level. MPs are
classified into maintenance association end points (MEPs) and maintenance association

intermediate points (MIPs). MEPs initiate and respond to CFM messages; MIPs
transparently transmit or respond to CFM messages but do not initiate the messages.

Protection Group Management


Protection group management involves the protection switchover and protection group.

Protection switchover: Important board resources and port resources are generally backed up to
enhance system reliability. If a fault occurs on a working member, protection switchover will
be triggered to transfer services to the protection member that will continue to handle the
services.

Protection group: You can manage the working member and the protection member in the
protection group. In a protection group, you can manage the relationship between the members
involved in the protection switchover, record the status of members, and manage the
configuration data and status that are involved by the protection relationship between the
members.

With the protection group feature, you can protect the following objects on the U2000:
l Active and standby control boards
l Aggregation groups on active control board and standby control board
l Ports on active and standby control boards
l Upstream Ethernet ports
l Upstream aggregation links of Ethernet ports
l Objects configured with GPON/EPON type B protection
l Objects configured with GPON type C protection
l Objects configured with EPON type D protection
l Objects configured with GPON/EPON type B dual-homing

GPON Service Management


Gigabit passive optical network (GPON) uses the passive optical transmission technology. It
supports a downstream transmission rate of 2.448 Gbit/s and an upstream transmission rate of
1.244 Gbit/s.

GPON service management supports two modes: distributed mode and profile mode. The
equipment and the U2000 support both modes. In the distributed mode, GPON service
management includes the management of the UNI ports, GEM ports, and ONUs. In the profile
mode, GPON service management includes the management of the UNI ports and ONUs; in this
mode, the GEM port is encapsulated in the line template of the UNI port.

For GPON UNI port management, you can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Modify the port attributes, such as the minimum reach, maximum reach, configuration
status of the ONU auto-discovery function, configuration status of the downstream FEC
function, status of the laser switch, and update cycle of the encryption key of the GPON
UNI port.
l Enable and disable the ONU auto-discovery function for a GPON UNI port. After the ONU
auto-discovery function is enabled, the OLT regularly checks whether any ONUs newly
connected to the GPON UNI port are online.

l Cut over services to implement GPON port backup on the OLT. If the active GPON port
on the OLT is faulty, you can switch over the ONU services from the faulty GPON port to
the specified standby GPON port on the OLT.
l Query the alarms of GPON UNI ports. This function allows you to maintain and manage
GPON UNI ports according to the details about and suggested solutions for active alarms.
l Enable and disable the laser of a GPON UNI port. By default, the laser of a GPON UNI
port is enabled so that the ONUs connected to the GPON UNI port can go online.
l Detect and isolate rogue ONU on a GPON UNI port.
l Query the real-time performance statistics and clear the performance statistics.
A GEM port identifies the virtual service channel that carries service streams between the
MA5600T or MA5603T and an ONU. An ONU can provision services only after the mapping
between the GEM port, T-CONT, and service stream is configured on the ONU. For GEM port
management, you can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Enable and disable the encryption function. When the encryption function is enabled, the
device encrypts the service stream carried on the GEM port. This feature enhances the
security of user data.
l Bind a GEM port to an ONU to establish the mapping between the GEM port on the OLT
and the T-CONT on the ONU.
l Limit the rate of packets of a specified priority on a GEM port according to the specified
traffic profile.
l Query the real-time performance statistics and clear the performance statistics of a GEM
port.
An ONU provides user interfaces. A GPON UNI port can be connected to a maximum of 128
ONUs. For GPON ONU management, you can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Add, delete, and modify an ONU.
l Generate topological nodes. Perform this operation to generate topological nodes for ONT
management in the topology view.
l Locate directly an ONU in the topology view through the topological node.
l Activate and deactivate an ONU.

EPON Service Management


The Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) is an Ethernet-based passive optical network
(PON). It is a new generation broadband access technology, using the point to multi-point
(P2MP) structure and the passive optical fiber transmission mode. As a new technology of fiber
broadband access for the "last mile", the PON does not require node devices but only a simple
optical splitter at the optical branching point. The PON has the following features:
l Fewer optical fibers.

12 FTTx Network Feature Management Product Description

l Shared bandwidth between branches.


l Less investment in telecommunications rooms.
l Higher equipment security.
l Faster network deployment.
l Lower overall costs for network construction.

The EPON uses the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology for concurrent
bidirectional signal transmission. Upstream and downstream signals are transmitted over
different wavelengths: upstream uses a 1310 nm wavelength and downstream uses a 1490 nm
wavelength. The EPON provisions the voice, data, and video services for users over a single
optical fiber.

Currently, the EPON supports a maximum symmetric transmission rate of 1.25 Gbit/s in
upstream and downstream, and a maximum transmission reach of 20 km. In downstream
direction, the EPON broadcasts encrypted data to different users; in upstream direction, the
EPON employs the time division multiplexing (TDM) technology. In this way, the EPON
implements bandwidth sharing in upstream and downstream directions and accommodates the
bandwidth requirements of access users.

EPON service management includes the management of EPON UNI ports and ONUs.

The EPON UNI port is the downstream port for the EPON access. The OLT is connected to
various types of ONUs, including MDUs, through the UNI port to provision high-speed Internet
service for users. For EPON UNI port management, you can perform the following operations
on the U2000:
l Modify the attributes of an EPON UNI port, including the alias, ONU auto-discovery
function, the maximum distance between an ONU and the OLT, and the tag attribute of
packets.
l Display the topology of the optical distribution node (ODN). The EPON UNI port, as an
ODN, is connected to a remote MDU. With this feature, you can enter the ODN+MDU
Layer 2 topology view, and view the ODN-centered star topology. In addition, you can
add, delete, and modify the MDU, and configure relevant services.
l Enable and disable an EPON UNI port. The laser of an EPON UNI port is enabled by default
so that the ONUs connected to the EPON UNI port can go online.
l Enable and disable the ONU auto-discovery function for an EPON UNI port. After the
ONU auto-discovery function is enabled, the OLT regularly checks whether any ONUs
newly connected to the EPON UNI port go online.
l Cut over services to implement EPON port backup on the OLT. If the active EPON port
on the OLT is faulty, you can switch over the ONU services from the faulty EPON port to
a specified standby EPON port on the OLT.
l Query the alarms of EPON UNI ports. This function allows you to maintain and manage
EPON UNI ports according to the details about and suggested solutions for active alarms.

Multicast Service Management


Multicast is a point-to-multipoint (P2MP) communication mode in which the source sends
information to a specified subset of objects under a network node. Multicast services are
applicable to the streaming media, distance learning, video conferencing, video on demand
(VOD), network gaming, data replication, and other P2MP transmission.
Multicast communication uses a class D IP address (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255) as the
destination IP address. A source host sends out a packet that uses a class D IP address as the
destination. If other hosts in the network are interested in the multicast packet, these hosts can
send a request to join the multicast group and receive the packet. The hosts outside of the group
cannot receive the packets sent by the source host.
In controllable multicast, network equipment determines whether a user has the rights to watch
programs by identifying the join or request packets of the user. Then, the access device controls
and forwards the multicast services accordingly.
There are two multicast modes:
l IGMP snooping: IGMP snooping is a multicast control mechanism at the data link layer.
It is used to manage and control multicast services.
l IGMP proxy: In a tree topology, the OLT does not set up routes for forwarding multicast
packets; the OLT only relays and forwards multicast protocol packets. To multicast users,
the OLT is a multicast router that implements the router functions defined in the IGMP
protocol. To multicast routers, the OLT is a multicast user.
You can perform the following operations on the U2000 to manage multicast services:
l Manage multicast users.
l Manage multicast VLANs.
l Manage the virtual upstream ports of multicast services.
l Manage multicast subtending ports.

Service Provisioning Template


The OLT supports the E2E service template to improve the service provisioning efficiency.

Alarm Responsibility Division


The alarm responsibility division function helps quickly and accurately identify the possible
cause of an out-of-management alarm of an ONU, such as whether the backbone optical fiber
or branch optical fiber is faulty, or the terminal is experiencing a power outage. In this manner,
physical visits to the sites of fault can be reduced.

ACL and QoS Management


ACL and QoS management includes the management of the access control list (ACL), quality
of service (QoS), and time segments.
In a traditional packet-based network, all packets are treated in the same way. Every router adopts
the first-in first-out (FIFO) policy to process packets, and makes its best effort to transmit packets
to the destination. The router, however, does not make any commitment to packet transmission
performance, such as the delay, delay variation (jitter), packet loss rate, and reliability. With the
rapid development of the computer network, more and more networks are connected to the
Internet. In addition, new services are emerging and raise new requirements on the service
capability of the IP network. Therefore, network-wide end-to-end QoS solutions are called into
attention, which necessitates QoS assurance for services. To achieve so, devices must be able
to apply QoS techniques and provide hierarchical QoS guarantee for different types of service
streams (especially for those highly sensitive to delay and jitter). For ACL management, you
can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Configure one or more time segments, and associate a time segment with an ACL by
specifying the name of the time segment in the ACL.
l Query, modify, create, and delete the ACL of the standard, extended, Layer 2, and user-
defined types.

QoS management includes filtering packets based on ACL, tagging priorities, limiting traffic
and port rate, collecting statistics on traffic, redirecting, and mirroring. On the U2000, you can
query, add, modify, and delete a QoS policy.

User Security and System Security Management


You can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Configure user access in PITP mode.
l Configure user access in DHCP option 82 mode.
l Configure user access control.
l Configure system secure access.
l Manage BFD sessions.

BFD Management
The BFD mechanism can quickly check the link status between two devices.

To mitigate the impact of device faults on services and to improve the network availability, a
network device needs to quickly detect any fault occurring between the device and its adjacent
devices. Actions can then be taken to ensure service continuity. The BFD enables the device to
check the connectivity of a type of data protocol of the same trail between two systems. The trail
can be a physical or a logical link, including a tunnel. The BFD mechanism is a remedy for the
weakness of the existing detection mechanism.

Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management


As the Ethernet technology extends from carrier networks to metropolitan area networks
(MANs) and wide area networks (WANs), carriers are increasingly concerned about the
maintainability of equipment, especially the Ethernet equipment. An imperative demand for the
operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) of transport equipment hence arises. Within
Ethernet technology, the 802.1ag connectivity fault management (CFM) provides a method for
detecting faults end-to-end. The Ethernet OAM mechanisms supported by 802.1ag CFM include
connectivity check (CC), loopback (LB), link trace (LT), and forward AIS alarms. You can
perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Manage maintenance domains (MDs). Ethernet CFM divides a network into up to eight
levels. A bridge can span multiple levels to manage different MDs. A CFM MD is
constituted by bridges. An MD is the combination of bridges and maintenance levels. MDs
can be classified into three layers: user domain (levels 7-5), service provider domain (levels
4-3), and carrier domain (levels 2-0). Different MDs are maintained by different
management entities.
l Manage maintenance associations (MAs). An MD can be divided into multiple MAs. Each
MA maps a service instance (SI) that belongs to an MD and is identified by a VLAN. An
MA can be regarded as a combination of an MD and a VLAN. According to the standards,
multiple VLANs can map one SI, and one SI maps one MA.
l Manage maintenance points (MPs). An MA consists of MPs defined on the ports of bridges.
An MP is a combination of a bridge port, a VLAN, and a maintenance level. MPs are
classified into maintenance association end points (MEPs) and maintenance association
intermediate points (MIPs). MEPs initiate and respond to CFM messages; MIPs
transparently transmit or respond to CFM messages but do not initiate the messages.

Multicast Service Management


Multicast is a point-to-multipoint (P2MP) communication mode in which the source sends
information to a specified subset of objects under a network node. Multicast services are
applicable to the streaming media, distance learning, video conferencing, video on demand
(VOD), network gaming, data replication, and other P2MP transmission.

Multicast communication uses a class D IP address (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255) as the


destination IP address. A source host sends out a packet that uses a class D IP address as the
destination. If other hosts in the network are interested in the multicast packet, these hosts can
send a request to join the multicast group and receive the packet. The hosts outside of the group
cannot receive the packets sent by the source host.

In controllable multicast, network equipment determines whether a user has the rights to watch
programs by identifying the join or request packets of the user. Then, the access device controls
and forwards the multicast services accordingly.

There are two multicast modes:


l IGMP snooping: IGMP snooping is a multicast control mechanism at the data link layer.
It is used to manage and control multicast services.
l IGMP proxy: In a tree topology, the OLT does not set up routes for forwarding multicast
packets; the OLT only relays and forwards multicast protocol packets. To multicast users,
the OLT is a multicast router that implements the router functions defined in the IGMP
protocol. To multicast routers, the OLT is a multicast user.

You can perform the following operations on the U2000 to manage multicast services:
l Manage multicast users.
l Manage multicast VLANs.
l Manage the virtual upstream ports of multicast services.
l Manage multicast subtending ports.

Narrowband Service Management


Narrowband service management includes the management of the media gateway (MG),
signaling gateway (SG), POTS ports, and IP ports.
MG Management
In the next generation network (NGN), the media gateway (MG) and the media gateway
controller (MGC) are separated. That is, the functions of the user plane are separated from the
functions of the control plane. The messages of the user plane interact with each other by using
the MG and the messages of the control plane interact with each other by using the MGC. An
MG device consists of the MG, MGC, digital signal processor (DSP) management, and ringing
mapping. You can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Manage MGs
l Manage MGCs

l Manage DSP channels
SG Management
Signaling gateway (SG) management includes the management of signaling gateways and
associations. An SG is a part for signaling interaction. An SG is a signaling proxy for receiving
and transmitting signaling messages between the No.7 signaling network and the IP network.
An SCTP association provides data transmission for the transfer of the protocol data unit of one
or more ports.
VoIP PSTN Port Management
The public switched telephone network (PSTN) is a communication network that provides
telephone services for public users over analog subscriber lines. It is also called plain old
telephone service (POTS).
Voice over IP (VoIP) is a communication mode for delivery of voice and data over Internet
Protocol (IP) networks. In the VoIP technology, voice information is transmitted in digital form
in discrete packets rather than through the traditional circuit-oriented protocols of PSTN.
The VoIP PSTN service is provided through the VoIP PSTN ports on the voice service board
of an ONU. A gateway is established on the ONU between the PSTN network and the IP network.
You can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Configure and modify port attributes.
l Enable and disable services.
l Perform and cancel a loopback.
l Reset a port.
l Collect the real-time performance statistics.
VoIP ISDN BRA Port Management
ISDN basic rate access (BRA) is the basic rate interface (BRI) and user-network interface
provided by the ONU. The BRI supports a transmission rate of 44 kbit/s and provides 2 B
channels for carrying services and 1 D channel for transmitting the call control signaling and
maintaining the management signaling. The rate of B channels is 64 kbit/s and the rate of D
channel is 16 kbit/s. In the upstream direction, the ONU transmits the ISDN service to the NGN
network in IP networking mode. The ISDN service is called the VoIP ISDN BRA service. You

Sheet-based Predeployment Management


The U2000 provides the sheet-based predeployment solution which enables you to import device
data to the U2000 in batches. This solution provides for plug-and-play (PnP) of equipment,
implements software-commissioning-free and requires only one site visit. Therefore, this
solution improves deployment efficiency and reduces network construction cost, and at the same
time allows for concurrent offline configuration and on-site construction. Sheet-based
predeployment has the following features:
l Offline deployment by importing a predeployed sheet
l Automatic upgrade of NE software
l Automatic issuing of configuration data

Plug-and-Play Feature Management


When an MDU is faulty, it is essential to locate the fault and recover services quickly. It is,
however, time-consuming to locate and troubleshoot an internal fault of the MDU. Therefore,
faulty MDUs are directly replaced, and are stored and repaired later in a centralized manner.

Solution limitations:
l The versions of the MDUs of the same type in the entire network must be the same.
l The configuration data of the MDUs must be backed up periodically to safeguard the data.

l Only one MDU can go offline and one MDU be automatically discovered during automatic
replacement.

Solution implementation procedure:


l 1. Back up the configuration data as required by using the DC component.
l 2. Replace the MDU that encounters a severe hardware fault.
l 3. The hardware installation engineer replaces the faulty MDU with a new MDU and
furnishes the maintenance engineer with the identification information about the new
MDU.
l 4. The maintenance engineer modifies the authentication information about the MDU on
the U2000, starts the automatic upgrade of the NE software by using the DC component,
and loads the configuration file to the MDU.

Solution benefit:
l The MDU implements PnP and is replaced quickly.
l The configuration data is restored quickly.

MDU replacement methods:


l Manual replacement based on a MAC address (EPON) or SN (GPON)
l Automatic replacement based on the key or password
l Automatic one-to-one replacement based on the MAC address

Remote Acceptance
To achieve one site visit and reduce the O&M cost in FTTx network construction, the deployed
ONUs must support remote acceptance. With the FTTx PnP solution, you can perform the
following acceptance operations:
l Narrowband emulation acceptance, to check whether the voice links are in the normal state
by using the call emulation test.
l PPPoE dialup emulation acceptance, to check whether the links for Internet access are in
the normal state.

ONT Automatic Bulk Upgrade


An FTTH network is deployed with a large number of ONTs. When the ONTs are upgraded,
the following problems may occur:
l The range of ONTs to be upgraded cannot be determined when ONTs are added to the
network during service provisioning.
l
l The online status of ONTs in user premises cannot be confirmed.

The U2000 provides the automatic offline bulk upgrade solution for ONTs. You can perform
the following operations on the U2000:
l Upgrade ONTs in batches.

13 MSAN Network Feature Management Product Description

Layer 3 Management
Layer 3 management includes the management of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP), Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS)/pseudo wire emulation edge-to-edge
(PWE3), and Layer 3 routes.
DHCP Management

ACL and QoS Management


ACL and QoS management includes the management of the access control list (ACL), quality
of service (QoS), time segments, and hierarchical QoS (HQoS).
In a traditional packet-based network, all packets are treated in the same way. Every router adopts
the first-in first-out (FIFO) policy to process packets, and makes its best effort to transmit packets
to the destination. The router, however, does not make any commitment to packet transmission
performance, such as the delay, delay variation (jitter), packet loss rate, and reliability. With the
rapid development of the computer network, more and more networks are connected to the
Internet. In addition, new services are emerging and raise new requirements on the service
capability of the IP network. Therefore, network-wide end-to-end QoS solutions are called into
attention, which necessitates QoS assurance for services. To achieve so, devices must be able
to apply QoS techniques and provide hierarchical QoS guarantee for different types of service
streams (especially for those highly sensitive to delay and jitter). For ACL management, you
can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Configure one or more time segments, and associate a time segment with an ACL by
specifying the name of the time segment in the ACL.
l Query, modify, create, and delete the ACL of the standard, extended, Layer 2, and user-
defined types.

iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System
Product Description 13 MSAN Network Feature Management

QoS management includes filtering packets based on ACL, tagging priorities, limiting traffic
and port rate, collecting statistics on traffic, redirecting, and mirroring. On the U2000, you can
query, add, modify, and delete a QoS policy.
HQoS stands for the hierarchical QoS. It not only controls user traffic but also schedules packets
according to the priorities of user services. On the U2000, you can query, add, modify, and delete
an HQoS policy.

User Security and System Security


You can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Configure user access in PITP mode.
l Configure user access in DHCP option 82 mode.
l Configure user access control.
l Configure system secure access.
l Manage BFD sessions.

Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management


As the Ethernet technology extends from carrier networks to metropolitan area networks
(MANs) and wide area networks (WANs), carriers are increasingly concerned about the
maintainability of equipment, especially the Ethernet equipment. An imperative demand for the
operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) of transport equipment hence arises. Within
Ethernet technology, the 802.1ag connectivity fault management (CFM) provides a method for
detecting faults end-to-end. The Ethernet OAM mechanisms supported by 802.1ag CFM include
connectivity check (CC), loopback (LB), link trace (LT), and forward AIS alarms. You can
perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Manage maintenance domains (MDs). Ethernet CFM divides a network into up to eight
levels. A bridge can span multiple levels to manage different MDs. A CFM MD is
constituted by bridges. An MD is the combination of bridges and maintenance levels. MDs
can be classified into three layers: user domain (levels 7-5), service provider domain (levels
4-3), and carrier domain (levels 2-0). Different MDs are maintained by different
management entities.
l Manage maintenance associations (MAs). An MD can be divided into multiple MAs. Each
MA maps a service instance (SI) that belongs to an MD and is identified by a VLAN. An
MA can be regarded as a combination of an MD and a VLAN. According to the standards,
multiple VLANs can map one SI, and one SI maps one MA.
l Manage maintenance points (MPs). An MA consists of MPs defined on the ports of bridges.
An MP is a combination of a bridge port, a VLAN, and a maintenance level. MPs are
classified into maintenance association end points (MEPs) and maintenance association
intermediate points (MIPs). MEPs initiate and respond to CFM messages; MIPs
transparently transmit or respond to CFM messages but do not initiate the messages.

Protection Group Management


Protection group management involves the protection switchover and protection group.
Protection switchover: Important board resources and port resources are generally backed up to
enhance system reliability. If a fault occurs on a working member, protection switchover will
be triggered to transfer services to the protection member that will continue to handle the
services.

Issue 05 (2010-11-19) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 13-7

xDSL Service Management


xDSL service management includes the management of the asymmetrical digital subscriber loop
(ADSL), ADSL2+, ATM global single-pair high-speed digital subscriber line (G.SHDSL), and
very high speed digital subscriber lines 2 (VDSL2) services. The features of these services are
as follows:

ADSL Service Management

ADSL is a technology for providing the asymmetric and high-speed private line access service
over common twisted pairs. ADSL supports the asymmetrical transmission in the upstream and
downstream directions, which is suitable for the user data access service and can provide high-
speed data transmission channels for users. ADSL2+ is an extension of the ADSL technology.
It supports a maximum transmission rate of 24 Mbit/s and 2.5 Mbit/s in the downstream and
upstream respectively and a maximum transmission distance of 6.5 km. You can perform the
following operations on the U2000:
l Activate and deactivate a port.
l Perform and cancel a loopback.
l Deactivate a port and then activate it again to initialize the port.
l Reconfigure port attributes.
l Configure the port attributes, such as the associated line template, alarm template, extended
template, and monitoring thresholds. These attributes are used to activate the ADSL port.
l Query the real-time and history performance statistics.

G.SHDSL Service Management

G.SHDSL is a technology for providing a high-rate symmetrical data service over one or two
twisted pairs. The 2-wire, 4-wire, 6-wire, and 8-wire G.SHDSL access services are supported
to allow for a transmission distance ranging from 3 km to 6 km. The rates of the 2-wire, 4-wire,
6-wire, and 8-wire G.SHDSL lines range from 192 kbit/s to 5696 kbit/s, 384 kbit/s to 4608 kbit/
s, 576 kbit/s to 17088 kbit/s, and 768 kbit/s to 22784 kbit/s respectively. You can perform the
following operations on the U2000:
l Activate and deactivate a port.
l Perform and cancel a loopback.
l Bind and unbind a port. You can bind multiple ATM G.SHDSL ports. This increases the
bandwidth at the physical layer and improves the rate of the ATM G.SHDSL port.

l Configure port attributes, such as the associated line profile and alarm profile. These
attributes are used to activate the ATM G.SHDSL port.
l Query the real-time performance statistics.
VDSL2 service Management
VDSL2 is an extension of the VDSL technology. It provides high-speed private line access in
the symmetrical or asymmetrical mode over common twisted pairs. VDSL2 supports a high
bandwidth with symmetric rates of up to 100 Mbit/s and multiple spectrum template and
encapsulation modes. Based on these features, it provides short-distance and high-speed access
solutions to the next generation broadband access scenarios. You can perform the following
operations on the U2000:
l Activate and deactivate a port.
l Perform and cancel a loopback.
l Deactivate a port and then activate it again to initialize a port.
l Reconfigure port attributes.
l Configure the port attributes, such as the associated line profile, alarm profile, extended
profile, and monitoring thresholds of a VDSL2 port. These attributes are used to activate
the VDSL2 port.
l Query the real-time and history performance statistics.

Multicast Service Management


Multicast is a point-to-multipoint (P2MP) communication mode in which the source sends
information to a specified subset of objects under a network node. Multicast services are
applicable to the streaming media, distance learning, video conferencing, video on demand
(VOD), network gaming, data replication, and other P2MP transmission.
Multicast communication uses a class D IP address (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255) as the
destination IP address. A source host sends out a packet that uses a class D IP address as the
destination. If other hosts in the network are interested in the multicast packet, these hosts can
send a request to join the multicast group and receive the packet. The hosts outside of the group
cannot receive the packets sent by the source host.
In controllable multicast, network equipment determines whether a user has the rights to watch
programs by identifying the join or request packets of the user. Then, the access device controls
and forwards the multicast services accordingly.
There are two multicast modes:
l IGMP snooping: IGMP snooping is a multicast control mechanism at the data link layer.
It is used to manage and control multicast services.
l IGMP proxy: In a tree topology, the OLT does not set up routes for forwarding multicast
packets; the OLT only relays and forwards multicast protocol packets. To multicast users,
the OLT is a multicast router that implements the router functions defined in the IGMP
protocol. To multicast routers, the OLT is a multicast user.
You can perform the following operations on the U2000 to manage multicast services:
l Manage multicast users.
l Manage multicast VLANs.
l Manage the virtual upstream ports of multicast services.
l Manage multicast subtending ports.

Issue 05 (2010-11-19) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 14-5


Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System
14 DSLAM Network Feature Management Product Description

DHCP management includes the management of the DHCP server group, MAC address
segment, standard mode, DHCP domain, and VLAN L3 interface. You can perform the

MPLS PWE3 Management

The MPLS is a transmission technology. It implements transparent transmission of data packets


between users. The MPLS tunnel is defined in the MPLS protocol. Independent of a service, an
MPLS tunnel implements end-to-end transmission and carries service-related PWs.

You can perform the following operations on the MPLS tunnel on a per-NE basis on the U2000:
l Configure the basic attributes of the MPLS.
l Configure the MPLS tunnel of the static unicast type.
l Create forward MPLS tunnels.
l Create an E-LSP.
l Manage PWs.
l Manage tunnel tags and PW labels.

ACL and QoS Management


ACL and QoS management includes the management of the access control list (ACL), quality
of service (QoS), time segments, and hierarchical QoS (HQoS).

In a traditional packet-based network, all packets are treated in the same way. Every router adopts
the first-in first-out (FIFO) policy to process packets, and makes its best effort to transmit packets
to the destination. The router, however, does not make any commitment to packet transmission
performance, such as the delay, delay variation (jitter), packet loss rate, and reliability. With the
rapid development of the computer network, more and more networks are connected to the
Internet. In addition, new services are emerging and raise new requirements on the service
capability of the IP network. Therefore, network-wide end-to-end QoS solutions are called into
attention, which necessitates QoS assurance for services. To achieve so, devices must be able
to apply QoS techniques and provide hierarchical QoS guarantee for different types of service
streams (especially for those highly sensitive to delay and jitter). For ACL management, you
can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Configure one or more time segments, and associate a time segment with an ACL by
specifying the name of the time segment in the ACL.
l Query, modify, create, and delete the ACL of the standard, extended, Layer 2, and user-
defined types.
QoS management includes filtering packets based on ACL, tagging priorities, limiting traffic
and port rate, collecting statistics on traffic, redirecting, and mirroring. On the U2000, you can
query, add, modify, and delete a QoS policy.

HQoS stands for the hierarchical QoS. It not only controls user traffic but also schedules packets
according to the priorities of user services. On the U2000, you can query, add, modify, and delete
an HQoS policy.

User Security and System Security


You can perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Configure user access in PITP mode.
l Configure user access in DHCP option 82 mode.
l Configure user access control.
l Configure system secure access.

BFD Management
The BFD mechanism is used for quickly checking the link status between two devices.

To mitigate the impact of device faults on services and to improve the network availability, a
network device needs to quickly detect any fault occurring between the device and its adjacent
devices. Actions can then be taken to ensure service continuity. The BFD enables the device to
check the connectivity of a type of data protocol of the same trail between two systems. The trail
can be a physical or a logical link, including a tunnel. The BFD mechanism is a remedy for the
weakness of the existing detection mechanism.

Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management


As the Ethernet technology extends from carrier networks to metropolitan area networks
(MANs) and wide area networks (WANs), carriers are increasingly concerned about the
maintainability of equipment, especially the Ethernet equipment. An imperative demand for the
operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) of transport equipment hence arises. Within
Ethernet technology, the 802.1ag connectivity fault management (CFM) provides a method for
detecting faults end-to-end. The Ethernet OAM mechanisms supported by 802.1ag CFM include
connectivity check (CC), loopback (LB), link trace (LT), and forward AIS alarms. You can
perform the following operations on the U2000:
l Manage maintenance domains (MDs). Ethernet CFM divides a network into up to eight
levels. A bridge can span multiple levels to manage different MDs. A CFM MD is
constituted by bridges. An MD is the combination of bridges and maintenance levels. MDs
can be classified into three layers: user domain (levels 7-5), service provider domain (levels
4-3), and carrier domain (levels 2-0). Different MDs are maintained by different
management entities.
l Manage maintenance associations (MAs). An MD can be divided into multiple MAs. Each
MA maps a service instance (SI) that belongs to an MD and is identified by a VLAN. An
MA can be regarded as a combination of an MD and a VLAN. According to the standards,
multiple VLANs can map one SI, and one SI maps one MA.
l Manage maintenance points (MPs). An MA consists of MPs defined on the ports of bridges.
An MP is a combination of a bridge port, a VLAN, and a maintenance level. MPs are
classified into maintenance association end points (MEPs) and maintenance association
intermediate points (MIPs). MEPs initiate and respond to CFM messages; MIPs
transparently transmit or respond to CFM messages but do not initiate the messages.

Protection Group Management


Protection group management involves the protection switchover and protection group.

Protection switchover: Important board recourses and port recourses are generally backed up to
enhance system reliability. If a fault occurs on a working member, protection switchover will

Issue 05 (2010-11-19) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 14-7

iManager U2000 Unified Network Management System
14 DSLAM Network Feature Management Product Description

be triggered to transfer services to the protection member that will continue to handle the
services.

Protection group: You can manage the working member and the protection member in the
protection group. In a protection group, you can manage the relationship between the members
involved in the protection switchover, record the status of members, and manage the
configuration data and status that are involved by the protection relationship between the
members.

With the protection group feature, you can protect the following objects on the U2000:
l Active and standby control boards
l Aggregation groups on active control board and standby control board
l Ports on active and standby control boards
l Upstream Ethernet ports
l Upstream aggregation links of Ethernet ports

xDSL Service Management


xDSL service management includes the management of the asymmetrical digital subscriber loop
(ADSL), ADSL2+, ATM global single-pair high-speed digital subscriber line (G.SHDSL), and
very high speed digital subscriber lines 2 (VDSL2) services. The features of these services are
as follows:

ADSL Service Management

ADSL is a technology for providing the asymmetric and high-speed private line access service
over common twisted pairs. ADSL supports the asymmetrical transmission in the upstream and
downstream directions, which is suitable for the user data access service and can provide high-
speed data transmission channels for users. ADSL2+ is an extension of the ADSL technology.
It supports a maximum transmission rate of 24 Mbit/s and 2.5 Mbit/s in the downstream and
upstream respectively and a maximum transmission distance of 6.5 km. You can perform the
following operations on the U2000:
l Activate and deactivate a port.
l Perform and cancel a loopback.
l Deactivate a port and then activate it again to initialize the port.
l Reconfigure port attributes.
l Configure the port attributes, such as the associated line template, alarm template, extended
template, and monitoring thresholds. These attributes are used to activate the ADSL port.
l Query the real-time and history performance statistics.

G.SHDSL Service Management

G.SHDSL is a technology for providing a high-rate symmetrical data service over one or two
twisted pairs. The 2-wire, 4-wire, 6-wire, and 8-wire G.SHDSL access services are supported
to allow for a transmission distance ranging from 3 km to 6 km. The rates of the 2-wire, 4-wire,
6-wire, and 8-wire G.SHDSL lines range from 192 kbit/s to 5696 kbit/s, 384 kbit/s to 4608 kbit/
s, 576 kbit/s to 17088 kbit/s, and 768 kbit/s to 22784 kbit/s respectively. You can perform the
following operations on the U2000:
l Activate and deactivate a port.
l Perform and cancel a loopback.

l Bind and unbind a port. You can bind multiple ATM G.SHDSL ports. This increases the
bandwidth at the physical layer and improves the rate of the ATM G.SHDSL port.
l Configure port attributes, such as the associated line profile and alarm profile. These
attributes are used to activate the ATM G.SHDSL port.
l Query the real-time performance statistics.

VDSL2 Service Management

VDSL2 is an extension of the VDSL technology. It provides high-speed private line access in
the symmetrical or asymmetrical mode over common twisted pairs. VDSL2 supports a high
bandwidth with symmetric rates of up to 100 Mbit/s and multiple spectrum template and
encapsulation modes. Based on these features, it provides short-distance and high-speed access
solutions to the next generation broadband access scenarios. You can perform the following
operations on the U2000:
l Activate and deactivate a port.
l Perform and cancel a loopback.
l Deactivate a port and then activate it again to initialize a port.
l Reconfigure port attributes.
l Configure the port attributes, such as the associated line profile, alarm profile, extended
profile, and monitoring thresholds of a VDSL2 port. These attributes are used to activate
the VDSL2 port.
l Query the real-time and history performance statistics.

Multicast Service Management


Multicast is a point-to-multipoint (P2MP) communication mode in which the source sends
information to a specified subset of objects under a network node. Multicast services are
applicable to the streaming media, distance learning, video conferencing, video on demand
(VOD), network gaming, data replication, and other P2MP transmission.

Multicast communication uses a class D IP address (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255) as the


destination IP address. A source host sends out a packet that uses a class D IP address as the
destination. If other hosts in the network are interested in the multicast packet, these hosts can
send a request to join the multicast group and receive the packet. The hosts outside of the group
cannot receive the packets sent by the source host.

In controllable multicast, network equipment determines whether a user has the rights to watch
programs by identifying the join or request packets of the user. Then, the access device controls
and forwards the multicast services accordingly.

There are two multicast modes:


l IGMP snooping: IGMP snooping is a multicast control mechanism at the data link layer.
It is used to manage and control multicast services.
l IGMP proxy: In a tree topology, the OLT does not set up routes for forwarding multicast
packets; the OLT only relays and forwards multicast protocol packets. To multicast users,
the OLT is a multicast router that implements the router functions defined in the IGMP
protocol. To multicast routers, the OLT is a multicast user.

You can perform the following operations on the U2000 to manage multicast services:
l Manage multicast users.
l Manage multicast VLANs.

15.1 Reliability Design


This topic describes the reliability design of the U2000. The reliability design of the U2000
ensures hardware reliability, software reliability, and system security and reliability.

Hardware Reliability
U2000Hardware reliability is improved by disk redundancy, equipment redundancy, and HA
system.

l Disk redundancy: The U2000 supports disk redundancy. For example, RAID1, RAID10,
hot standby, or disk array can be used for different hardware platforms.
l Equipment redundancy: During network deployment, the U2000 improves reliability by
means of redundant equipment such as switches and NICs.
l HA system: For details, see 15.3 HA System.

Software Reliability
Software reliability mechanism of the U2000 enables the U2000 to withstand software failures
such as software application failure or database damage.

The U2000 supports the automatic protection mechanism so that it can monitor and check the
running status of its processes. When the U2000 detects that a process stops abnormally or is
faulty, it records system logs. Then, the system restarts the process automatically and ensures
that the process runs in the normal state. The system can also generate an alarm that urges a user
to manually resolve the problem.

In the case of an HA system, when the active server is faulty (for example, software applications
fail or the database quits unexpectedly), switchover is performed between the active server and
the standby server and the standby server starts to monitor networks.

Periodic and effective backup of the U2000 data ensures that the system runs stably and recovers
promptly from faults. The U2000 provides various data backup methods. For details, see 15.6
Data Backup.

System Security and Reliability


System security and reliability involve the following aspects:
l OS enhancement: The U2000 provides the SetSolaris to enhance the security of Solaris OS.
l Antivirus scheme: The U2000 uses the OfficeScan of Trend Micro as the antivirus software
on Windows OS.
l Operation security: The U2000 supports user management, right management, user security
management, ACL, AAA, and a series of security policies to ensure the security of
operations that are performed on the U2000.
l Communication security and reliability: The U2000 client and server communicate with
each other in SSH mode, which ensures security of communication between them. In
addition, DCN protection ensures the reliability of communication connections between
the U2000 and NEs.

l Automatic application switchover between the active and standby sites

The U2000 provides the following HA schemes:

l HA system (Veritas 1+1 hot standby): Applicable to remote hot standby of the non-
distributed system, featuring automatic switching.

15.4 DCN Protection


You can use a data communication network (DCN) to connect the U2000 to a standby gateway
NE (GNE). This improves the reliability of the communication connection between the
U2000 and equipment.

The communication between non-GNEs and the U2000 is forwarded by the GNE. In the
U2000, you can set the active GNE and standby GNE for NEs in advance. When the
communication between the active GNE and the U2000 is interrupted, the U2000 automatically
switches to the standby GNE for communication, so that the communication between the
U2000 and NEs is not interrupted. When the communication between the U2000 and the active
GNE recovers, the U2000 determines whether to use the active GNE again according to the
preset revertive mode.

NOTE

The recommended number of non-gateway NEs (including non-gateway NEs that connects to the GNE by using
the extended ECC) that connect to each GNE is fewer than 50. Once the limit is exceeded, the number of GNEs
should be increased.

15.5 Disk Mirroring


The disk mirroring function helps to improve the reliability of disk data on the U2000 server.

If the server has two or more than two hard disks, you can create disk mirroring (RAID 1) when
installing the U2000. After you create disk mirroring, if the active disk is damaged, run a

17 Management Capability

About This Chapter

Management capability refers to the capability of the NMS to manage network resources, which
are expressed in the number of equivalent NEs.
The key technical specifications include the number of equivalent NEs, number of clients, and
number of physical NEs.The management capability of the U2000 in a network that consists of
different types of NEs is affected by the following factors:
l The management capability refers to the maximum number of equivalent NEs that can be
managed by the U2000 on certain hardware configuration conditions. The management
capability depends on the hardware and varies with the hardware configuration.
l If a client also runs on the computer where the server is running, the management capability
is reduced by 50%. Hence, it is recommended that you run the client and server on different
computers.
l The system limits the number of physical nodes. Hence, the number of physical nodes is a
restriction for the management capability.
l Virtual NEs are not included in the management capability. A pre-configured NE is equal
to a real NE. One third-party NE is equal to one equivalent NE. The equivalent coefficient
of the OEM equipment is calculated in the way similar to Huawei equipment.
17.1 NE Equivalent Coefficient
The NE equivalent coefficient is the ratio of the resources used by physical NEs or ports to the
resources used by equivalent NEs.
17.2 Management Capabilities of the U2000 on Different Hardware Platforms
This topic describes the management capabilities of the U2000 on different hardware platforms.
17.3 Manageable Equipment
This topic describes the equipment that can be managed by the U2000.

17.1 NE Equivalent Coefficient


The NE equivalent coefficient is the ratio of the resources used by physical NEs or ports to the
resources used by equivalent NEs.

Equivalent NE and Equivalent Coefficient


l Equivalent NE: The functional features, cross-connect capacity, and number of cards, ports,
or channels are specific to NEs of different types. As these NEs require different resources
of the NMS, the number of NEs that can be managed by the NMS depends on the NE types.
For easy description and calculation of the management capability, the concept of
equivalent NE is defined so that NEs of different types or a number of ports can be converted
to equivalent NEs by a uniform criteria according to the system resources required by
them. The system resources required by an equivalent NE is equal to the resources for
managing an STM-1 transport NE.
l Equivalent coefficient: Equivalent coefficient = (Resources used by physical NEs or ports)/
(Resources used by equivalent NEs)
Currently, a set of U2000 can manage a maximum of 15,000 physical NEs, 15,000 equivalent
NEs, and 100 clients. This conclusion is drawn after the tests under a certain environment and
objectively reflects the actual management capability of the U2000.
The management scales of the U2000 are defined as follows:
l Small-scale network: 2,000 equivalent NEs of the U2000
l Medium-scale network: 6,000 equivalent NEs of the U2000
l Large-scale network: 15,000 equivalent NEs of the U2000
NOTE
It is recommended that you enable no more than 100,000 performance collection instances at the same time to
ensure the running efficiency of the U2000.

Calculating the Number of Equivalent NEs


Generally, the number of equivalent NEs that the U2000 can manage is calculated according to
the following rules:
l The basic unit of an equivalent NE of the U2000 is OptiX Metro 1000.
l Number of equivalent NEs = <Number of equivalent NEs in the transport domain> +
<Number of equivalent NEs in the IP domain> + <Number of equivalent NEs in the access
domain>
l The comparison coefficient of an equivalent NE of the U2000 to the equivalent NE in each
domain is as follows:
1 equivalent NE in the transport domain = 1 equivalent NE of the U2000
4 equivalent nodes in the IP domain = 1 equivalent NE of the U2000
3.3 equivalent nodes in the access domain = 1 equivalent NE of the U2000
NOTE
The preceding rules are not fixed. For more details, see the Management Capability Instructions.

17.1.1 Equivalent NEs in the Transport Domain


<Number of equivalent NEs in the transport domain> = (Number of transport NEs of type_I x
Equivalent coefficient + ... + (Number of transport NEs of type_n x Equivalent coefficient)

17.1.2 Equivalent NEs in the IP Domain


<Number of equivalent NEs in the IP domain> = (Number of IP NEs of type_I x Equivalent
coefficient) + ... + (Number of IP NEs of type_n x Equivalent coefficient)
17.1.3 Equivalent NEs in the Access Domain
<Number of equivalent NEs in the access domain> = Number of FTTx OLT equivalent NEs +
Number of FTTx MDU equivalent NEs + Number of MSAN equivalent NEs + Number of
DSLAM equivalent NEs + Number of equivalent NEs of other access equipment

17.1.1 Equivalent NEs in the Transport Domain


<Number of equivalent NEs in the transport domain> = (Number of transport NEs of type_I x
Equivalent coefficient + ... + (Number of transport NEs of type_n x Equivalent coefficient)

NOTE

For example, there are 5 OptiX OSN 9500 (equivalent coefficient: 10), 10 OptiX OSN 7500 (equivalent
coefficient: 6.5), and 100 OptiX OSN 3500 (equivalent coefficient: 4.5). Then, you can calculate the number
of equivalent NEs in the transport domain as follows:
Number of equivalent NEs in the transport domain = 5 x 10 + 10 x 6.5 + 100 x 4.5 = 565

cross-domain management in centralized manner. For example, if the T2000
is installed on SUN V490, the T2000 can be directly upgraded to the U2000,
but the U2000 cannot have the management functions of the IP and access
domains in this case.

SUN Server SUN 600 16 No


Netra240-2P* SUN
1.5GHz-2G Netra240
does not
support the
management
of PTN
devices. If
T2000 is
installed on
Netra240,
after
upgraded to
the U2000,
the U2000
cannot have
the
management
functions of
the PTN
devices. If
must to
manage the
PTN
devices, the
Netra240
must be
changed.

A Glossary and Abbreviations

A
Abnormal Resource When the NMS carries out the operation of device resource polling on the device
management module or the module is refreshed manually, the physical resources of some
devices, such as the card, sub-card and port, cannot be accessed because they have been
deleted or have some faults. So, after the NMS carries out the operation of device resource
polling on the device management module or the module is refreshed manually again,
the result of polling the physical resources differ from the first time. The physical
resources that cannot be polled in the second time are called the abnormal resource.
AIS insertion If there are excessive errors in a channel, AIS can be inserted in this channel to indicate
it is unavailable. For a line board, you can set whether to insert AIS when there are
excessive errors in the B1, B2 and B3 bytes. For a tributary board at the E1 or T1 level,
you can set whether to insert AIS when there are excessive errors in BIP-2. For a tributary
board at the E3 level or higher, you can set whether to insert AIS when there are excessive
errors in the B3 byte.
AIS Alarm Indication Signal. A signal sent downstream in a digital network if an upstream
failure has been detected and persists for a certain time.
Alarm correlation In the case alarm2 is raised within five seconds after alarm1 is raised, and alarm2
analysis complies with the conditions defined in the alarm correlation analysis rule, you can either
suppress the alarm2 or raise its severity level according to the behavior defined in the
alarm correlation rule. Such a process is called alarm correlation analysis.
Alarm Level Alarm level is to identify the severity of an alarm or event. It is divided up into four
levels: critical, major, minor, warning alarm.
Alarm Status Device reports the trap information to NMS. NMS displays the received information on
the alarm start on the topological view.
The alarm state contains four types: urgent alarm, important alarm, subordinate alarm
and prompt alarm.

Auto Discovery NMS tests the remote device by using PING or the SNMP parameter module configured
in advanced to discover the IP device or the device that supports SNMP and to add the
discovered devices automatically.

A Glossary and Abbreviations Product Description

Alarm reversion For the port that has already been configured but not actually loaded with services, this
function can be used to avoid generating relevant alarm information, thus preventing
alarm interference.
Alarm severity According to ITU-T recommendations, the alarm is classified into four severities:
Critical, Major, Minor, and Warning.
Alarm suppression The suppressed alarm of a specific object is not reported. The object here may be the
networkwide equipment, a specific NE, a specific board and even a specific function
module of a specific board.
Alarm A visible or an audible indication to notify the person concerned that a failure or an
emergency has occurred. See also Event.
ATM protection group An ATM protection group refers to the logically bound ATM VP network or subnetwork
connections that share the same physical transmission channel. In the VP group (VPG),
a pair of VP connections (working connection and its protection connection) is used for
monitoring the automatic protection switching, called monitoring connections (APS
VPCs). If the monitoring connections switch over, the whole VPG will switch over to
quicken the ATM protection switching (as quick as the protection switching of the SDH
layer.
ALS Automatic Laser Shutdown. ALS is turned on when the optical interface board does not
carry services or the optical fibre is faulty. Its service life can be prolonged by decreasing
the duration during which laser is on.
Attribute Property of an object.
Automatic switching When the active board or path fails, the standby one can automatically take over the job
of the active one.

Band Width In the data communication area, bandwidth specifies the maximum value of the rate
when the data passes through some data channel.
Baseline Select the test result when the line is in good condition as the line test baseline, to provide
a basis of comparison and analysis for the following line test result.
Baseline collection test One of the test types for submarine line. In the case of deployment or fault restoration,
or when updating the baseline is required, you need to collect the baseline, to provide
reference for comparison tests, and alerts or alarms.
Binding In virtual concatenated payload configuration, designating one binding number to
identify the VC4s of the same virtual concatenated payload is called "bind". If a fault
occurs to one of the bound services, all bound services will switch as a whole.
Bit error alarm When the bit error reaches a specific limit, the equipment will report an alarm. This limit
threshold is the bit error alarm threshold. The threshold can be divided into crossing threshold and
defect threshold.

Comparison test in One of the test types for submarine line. Carry out polling tests for multiple lines on the
periodic mode same LMU board periodically, compare the test result with the baseline data in in-service
mode, and provide alerts or alarms for the line.

Comparison test in One of the test types for submarine line. Test a line by using test parameters of the
single-test mode baseline collection test in in-service mode, compare the test result with the baseline data,
and provide alerts or alarms for the line.
Check alarms The check feature compares one (or more) uncleared alarm on the NMS with that on the
NE. If an alarm is included in the current alarms on the NE, it is kept on the NMS. If
not, it will be removed from the NMS.
Client A kind of terminal (PC or workstation) connected to a network that can send instructions
to a server and get results through a user interface. See also server.
Clock View The Clock View provides a visible platform to enable:1. NE clock settings2.
Networkwide clock synchronisation status query3. Clock tracing and search functions
Configuration data The data that configures the NE hardware for coordination between this NE and other
NEs in the entire network and operation of specified services. Configuration data is the
instruction file of NEs, and it is the key for efficient network running. The typical
configuration data includes board configuration, clock configuration and protection
relationship.
Configuration Configuration management enables inventory query of network configuration resources,
management including relevant configuration of NMS or SNMS, NE, subnet, links, SNC, route, TP,
edge point, equipment, and so on. Real-time inventory change report can also be provided
through this resource, it will be timely reported to the upper NMS to notify the carrier
of the current network operation status and ensure data consistency of the upper NMS
or SNMS.
Configure To set the basic parameters of an operation object.
Connection point A reference point where the output of a trail termination source or a connection is bound
to the input of another connection, or where the output of a connection is bound to the
input of a trail termination sink or another connection. The connection point is
characterized by the information which passes across it. A bidirectional connection point
is formed by the association of a contradirectional pair.
Connection A "transport entity" which consists of an associated pair of "unidirectional connections"
capable of simultaneously transferring information in opposite directions between their
respective inputs and outputs.
Current alarms Alarms that do not clear, or has cleared but is not acknowledged.
Current performance The performance data stored in the current register is called current performance data.
data The current 15-minute or 24-hour register (only one for each) is applied to collect the
performance data in the current monitoring period. It changed within the monitor period.
Change Audit Service Change Audit Service is developed to record the change on the network device, including
the changes on the information about the device, the configuration and the mapping. It
provides one integrated database. Every application program records these changes in
the database and ensures that these changes in the database are reflected on other
applications.
Cluster The cluster is an administrative domain composed of a set of switches. It consists of a
command switch and multiple member switches. The management over all the switches
within the cluster is realized through a public IP address.
Configuration File Text file, including various configuration on the device.

D
DCC Within an STM-N signal there are two DCC channels, one is the 192 kbit/s DCC-R
channel composed of bytes D1-D3, and the other is the 576 kbit/s DCC- channel
composed of bytes D4-D12. All NEs can communicate with one another through the
DCC-R. The DCC-M is not the regenerator section overhead and does not support
communications among regenerators, and it is used to support communication channels
of more universal purpose.
DNI Dual Node Interconnection. The protection mode defined in G. 842 Recommendation
for the inter-ring service . By using the recommended protection modes, the protection
of the interconnecting service between two ring networks composed of the devices from
different manufacturers and in different protection modes can be realised. Moreover, in
case of fibre failure or node failure, services can also be protected.
Domain The domain of the NMS specifies the scope of address or functions which are available
to a certain user.
Dump Dump is a process of exporting alarm data from the database to the customized file and
meanwhile the exported data is cleared in the database.

E
ECC Embedded Control Channel. An ECC provides a logical operations channel between
SDH NEs, utilising a data communications channel (DCC) as its physical layer.
EMU Environment Monitoring Unit. As one type of power and environment monitoring unit,
EMU is installed on the top of the OptiX 155/622H equipment cabinet to monitor the
environment variables, such as the power supply and temperature. With external signal
input through the relay, fire alarm, smoke alarm, burglary alarm, and so on can be
monitored as well. Displayed on the NMS, the change of environment can be monitored
timely and accurately.
Equipment set An aggregate of multiple managed equipment. Equipment set facilitates the user
authority management on equipment in the management domain of the NMS. If some
operation authorities over one equipment set are assigned to a user (user group), these
operation authorities over all equipment of the equipment set are assigned to the user
(user group).

F
Failure The fault cause persisted long enough to consider the ability of an item to perform a
required function to be terminated. The item may be considered as failed; a fault has now
been detected.
Fault A fault is the inability of a function to perform a required action. This does not include
an inability due to preventive maintenance, lack of external resources, or planned actions.
Filter The filter is used to filter the matched logs and have the unmatched one left.
Forced switch This command performs the ring switch from working channels to the protection
channels. This switch occurs regardless of the state of the protection channels, unless
the protection channels are satisfying a higher priority bridge request.

I
Intermediate office It refers to the equipment used for optical fibre management and dispatch in the
metropolitan area. It has multiple pairs of interfaces for the optical fibre connection.
Every two interfaces in a pair are connected with each other to form a longer physical
optical fibre path. The physical optical fibre path connecting the transmission equipment
can comprise two or more sections of optical fibre cascaded via the intermediate office.
There is an intermediate office information list for some fibre & cable connections, which
shows the section information about the fibre & cable.
In-Service Mode One of the test modes for submarine line. By using the in-service test mode , you can
test submarine cables and repeaters without damaging the existing services of the
submarine system.
Image (OS) Binary file, equivalent to the OS of the device and a part of the device version.
IP address In the TCP/IP protocol, it is used to uniquely identify the address of the communication
port, which consists of four bytes in decimal digits, for example, 129.9.161.55.

J
Jitter This index shows the delay stability of many Ping operations with the unit of ms.

L
Label A mark on a cable, a subrack, or a cabinet for identification.
Layer A concept used to allow the transport network functionality to be described hierarchically
as successive levels; each layer being solely concerned with the generation and transfer
of its characteristic information.
LCT Local Craft Terminal. The LCT provides the user with single-layer management network
solutions to the transmission network of up to five NEs to realise integrated management
of multi-service transmission network. Usually it uses the cross-over cable or serial port
cable to connect one NE, so as to configure and maintain a single NE. See also U2000
LCT.
Licence A permission provided by a vendor to authorise the use of specific functions of a product.
Usually the licence consists of encrypted codes, and the operation authority varies with
different level of licence.
Link The link is responsible to transmit the data from one station to next neighbour station
correctly.

O
Online help An indexed collection of information on all aspects of the NMS. They can be accessed
at any time from the Help menu or by pressing the F1 key.
Optical time domain OTDR is an optical fault locator and analysis tool for optical fiber networks. The OTDR
reflectormeter features a light, compact, hand-held design with an intelligent user interface that is easy
and quick to use. The color LCD display and backlight design makes testing work more
comfortable and convenient, whether during daylight or at night.
Out-of-Service Mode One of the test modes for submarine line. By transmitting detection light with high power,
the out-of-service test can detect the fiber status and repeater status, to realize the status
detection and fault point location after fiber cut. In general, when detecting that a line is
abnormal during a test in in-service mode, you can carry out a test in out-of-service mode
to locate the fault.
OWSP Optical Wavelength Shared Protection. OWSP is a bidirectional ring, where each node
is equipped with an OWSP. There are two channels (1 and 2) in the main optical path
on the internal and external rings in each span on a ring. The fibre and the OWSP on the
main optical path are connected with the optical ports inputting 1 and 2 on the mux/
demux board (unnecessary to be connected with the OTU), and thus 1 and 2 can be
added and dropped at every node.

P
Path protection The working principle of path protection: When the system works in path protection
mode, the PDH path uses the dual-fed and signal selection mode. Through the tributary
unit and cross-connect unit, the tributary signal is sent simultaneously to the east and
west lines. Meanwhile, the cross-connect matrix sends the signal dually sent from the
opposite end to the tributary board through the active and standby buses, and the
hardware of the tributary board will selectively receive the signal from the two groups
of buses automatically according to the AIS number of the lower order path.
Path A trail in a path layer.
Performance register Performance register is the memory space for performance event counts, including 15-
min current performance register, 24-hour current performance register, 15-min history
performance register, 24-hour history performance register, UAT register and CSES
register.
Performance threshold Performance events usually have upper and lower thresholds. When the performance
event count value exceeds the upper threshold, a performance threshold-crossing event
is generated; when the performance event count value is below the upper threshold for
a period of time, the performance threshold-crossing event is ended. In this way,
performance jitter caused by some sudden events can be shielded.
PMU One type of power and environment monitoring unit.
Private line Both communication parties are connected permanently.
Procedure A generic term for an action.
Process A generic term for a collection of actions.
Protection path A specific path that is part of a protection group and is labeled protection.

A Glossary and Abbreviations Product Description

Protection strategy In case the service route provides multiple service protections, different protection
strategies can be selected as required. Protection strategy refers to the protection mode
given the priority in use for the trail: protection, no protection, and extra traffic. Of the
above, the protection preference is divided into trail protection and sub-network
connection protection.
Protection subnet The resources that form a protection subnetwork include NEs and fiber cables. The
creation of the protection subnetwork actually means that corresponding logical system
is configured for each NE by means of creating the protection subnetwork, the optical
interfaces (or VC4) of each board are mapped into the logical system, and then these
independent logical systems are connected with one another to form a complete network
structure.
Packets Loss Ratio This index shows the packet loss ratio after many Ping operations with the unit of %.
Poll Status The NMS polls the device status and other configuration data periodically and displays
the polling results on the topology view.
The polling status contains normal, unknown, off-line, light fault, subordinate fault,
important fault and urgent fault.

R
ROADM Reconfiguration Optical Add/Drop Multiplexing. ROADM helps you to terminate or
pass through any one wavelength at every node without affecting the existing services.
At the same time, ROADM can change wavelengths through the NMS remotely, to adjust
wavelengths added or dropped in a quick and convenient manner. In addition, ROADM
enables power equalization at path level through a built-in power equalization function,
and thus adjusts power for pass-through paths in a better way than a band-based dynamic
gain equalizer (DGE) does.
Route The IP route selection is in table driving mode. In each host and each router of the Internet,
there is a routing table that contains information about how the service is transmitted
from the source to the sink, providing a basis for route selection. Ethernet static routing
in ET1 refers to the mapping relationship between the Ethernet port and the bound path.
Its routing type includes port routing and VLAN routing. Port routing: It means
configuring a route between the Ethernet port and the bound path port, which is usually
used for point-to-point networking communication; VLAN routing: It means configuring
a route between the Ethernet port and the bound path port based on the VLAN service.
It can be used flexibly in point-to-point, point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint
communication. The implementation is to divide and converge the data stream according
to the VLAN flag of the packet. As a VLAN flag can be added to the Ethernet port, the
equipment can be applied more flexibly.
Report The report that is generated manually in a real-time fashion.
RTT RTT is the round trip time, which is the time delay of the ping task.

S
Script file It is the text file describing the physical information and configuration information of
the entire network, including the NE configuration file, port naming file, end-to-end
configuration file, NE physical view script file, NM information file and service
implementation data script file.

A Glossary and Abbreviations Product Description

Trail management A network level management function of the NMS. Through trail management, you can
function configure end-to-end services, view graphic interface and visual routes of a trail, query
detailed information of a trail, filter, search and locate a trail quickly, manage and
maintain trails in a centralised manner, manage alarms and performance data by trail,
and print a trail report.
Trail A trail is a kind of transport entity, mainly engaged in transferring signal from the input
of the trail source to the output of the trail sink, and monitoring the integrality of the
transferred signal. According to the different levels of the trail, the trail includes various
types (OTS, OCH, OMS, SPI, RS, MS, VC4 server trail, VC4, VC3 and VC12). Among
them, OTS, OCH and OMS represent the trails in a DWDM layer network. For the ADM
and TM equipment in the SDH network, each optical fibre connection corresponds to an
SPI, RS or MS trail, and a trail is the general name for service carriers, including SDH
and PDH services.
Tributary loopback A fault can be located for each service path by performing loopback to each path of the
tributary board. There are three kinds of loopback modes: No loopback, Outloop and
Inloop.
Threshold The alarm range will be defined after the performance data is collected. The threshold
contains the upper and lower one, related with the unit and index.

U
U2000 To be oriented to the future network trend, the iManager U2000 that is the unifed network
management system (NMS) combines all-IP and FMC, and manages carrier equipment
and access equipment in a centralized manner.
UAT Unavailable Time. A UAT event is reported when the monitored object generates 10
consecutive severely errored seconds (SES) and the SESs begin to be included in the
unavailable time. The event will end when the bit error ratio per second is better than
10-3 within 10 consecutive seconds.
UNI UNI is the abbreviation for User Network Interface. It identifies the interface between
the user and the ATM network node.
Unprotected Services transmitted through an ordinary way, once a failure or interruption occurs, the
data cannot be restored for lack of protection mechanism.
Upload Report all or part of the configuration data of the NE to the NM and overwrite the
configuration data saved in the NE layer on the NM side.
User group User set refers to the set of NMS users with the same management authorities. The default
user group includes: system administrator, system maintainer, system operator and
system supervisor. The attributes of user set include name and detailed description.
User The user of the NMS client, and the user and his/her password define the corresponding
authority of operation and management of the NMS.

V
VC4 loopback The fault of each VC4 path on the optical fibre can be located by setting loopback for
each VC4 path of the line. There are three kinds of loopback modes: No loopback,
Outloop, Inloop.

VC4 server trail The path rate of the VC4 server trail is 150.336Mbit/s. The VC4 server trail provides
transparent channels (that is, circuit group) for circuit-layer network nodes (for example,
a switch) in a path-layer network, and acts as the basic unit of inter-office communication
path. When the VC4 server trail is configured, only the higher order cross-connection of
VC4 is generated in the intermediate NE, but no cross-connection is generated at the two
ends, that is, no service is added/dropped. Therefore, the VC4 server trail is not a
traditional service. It is only the basis for VC3 and VC12 trail creation.
VCI The VCI, shorted for Virtual Channel Identifier, occupies 16 bits in both NNI cell or
UNI cell. It indicates the virtual channel in the path. The VPI and VCI together indicate
a virtual connection.
View Organize and display rules and filter conditions of the topology data. Customize the view
according to requirements of every product and organize the data in the view displayed
by the topology module, such as the layer 2 view, VPN view and IP view. By default,
the platform provides the physical view. The topology view can be planned according
to the domain, maintenance relationship and so on.
Edits and displays the rule of the topology data or the filter conditions. It can be tailored
according to the requirements

Virtual fibre A virtual fibre is created between SDH equipment that has WDM equipment in between.
From SDH equipment perspective, creation of virtual fibres disassociates its fibre
connection with WDM equipment and prevents impact on the auto fibre search function,
ensuring independence of SDH trail management.From WDM equipment perspective,
its service bearer layer is a virtual fibre instead of a true one after the virtual fibre is
created. Deletion of the true fibre does not affect trail management.
Virtual NE Like a common NE, a virtual NE is also displayed with an icon on a view, but it is only
an NE simulated according to the practical situation, which does not represents an actual
NE. Therefore, the actual status of this NE cannot be queried and its alarm status cannot
be displayed with colours. Usually, when the trail management function is used for the
NEs or sub-networks the NMS cannot manage, or the equipment is interconnected with
other vendors NEs for service configuration, the end-to-end service configuration
method and the trail management capability are provided.
VLAN ID Namely, it is the virtual LAN identifier. One Ethernet port can support 4K VLAN routes,
and one NE can support up to 8K VLAN routes.
VPI The VPI, shorted for Virtual Path Identifier, occupies 12 bits in the NNI cell, and 8 bits
in the UNI cell.

Wavelength protection The wavelength protection group is important to describe the wavelength protection
group structure. Its function is similar to that of the protection sub-network in the SDH NE.
The wavelength path protection can only work with the correct configuration of the
wavelength protection group.
WDM service The WDM service is accessed at the client side of the OTU board that can access SAN
services.
Web LCT In the TMN architecture, the Web LCT is located in the NE management level, which
can manage the RTN series and NG WDM series equipment.
Working path A specific path that is part of a protection group and is labelled working.
