Chapter 1 NMS Overview
Topology Management
Topology management view provides a default logic view and dif-
ferent customizable logical views. Topology management opera-
tions include:
� Creating Topology Views
� Modifying Topology Views
� Deleting Topology Views
� Setting and Grouping Rules
� Refreshing and Synchronizing Topology Data
Topology management interface can manage NE(s) for ADSL,
VDSL, SHDSL, layer-2 protocols, routers, user authentication,
QoS, ACL. It can also manage environment monitoring for power
supply systems, NE attributes, deleting/modifying/moving of
NE(s), displaying topology attributes and statistic information.
Security Management
Security management is divided into the following:
� Client Security Management: The client processes the data
for the user login interface and user security management in-
terfaces.
� Server Security Management: The server authenticates lo-
gin users and logical operation processing.
Security management authenticates the authorized system users.
It implements user role management, provides security control for
operators to conduct security management, operations and con-
nection between the user and role.
Log Management
Log management provides the following:
� Operation Log
� Security Log
� System Log
Log management provides operations to query, delete and backup
logs in addition to view log information. It also provides log-filter-
ing conditions.

System Management
System management view provides the database and IP device
management.
System management provides the following:
� Application Server Maintenance and Management
� Database Server Maintenance and Management
Users can view, backup and restore database resources. Devices
can be monitored and alarm information can be generated.
Policy Management
Policies specify the operations in the NMS under specific conditions.
Policy management provides the following functions via manage-
ment views:
� Policy Creation
� Policy Deletion
� Policy Modification
� Policy Activation
� Policy Query
Fault Management
Fault management manages and views the faults generated by
various network devices managed by NMS. Fault management
monitors and manages the events and notifications on the net-
work.
Faults management provides the following alarms:
� Equipment Alarms: Alarms directly generated by the net-
work equipment.
� Background Alarms: Alarm generated by NMS when the pre-
set running parameter thresholds are exceeded. For example,
performance alarm and system management alarm.

Auto Discovery
Configuration
Auto discovery service runs in the background and discovers the
devices running on the IP network. It includes the device that
support:
� SNMP Protocol: SNMP protocol can identify the type and each
device attribute. It uses the filter rules to store the alarmed
nodes into the database.
� Internet Protocol: Internet protocol includes lower-layer
protocols such as TCP and IP.
The auto discovery configuration view provides friendly man-ma-
chine interfaces enabling the user to configure the auto discovery
parameters.

NMS
Structure and Networking

NetNumen N31 (V4.4.0) unified NMS adopts three-layered system
structure for Web NMS. The three-layered structure consists of the
following:
� Database Server

� NMS Server
� NMS Client
NetNumen N31 (V4.4.0) NMS comprehensive structure is shown
in Figure 1.
FIGURE 1 NMS COMPREHENSIVE STRUCTURE
Functions NMS server is responsible for data communication with the man-
agement object, database server and the client. It also controls in-
formation processing. NMS components communicate with clients,
services and TCP/IP on the network.
Database Database stores NE data. NetNumen N31 (V4.4.0) NMS adopts
MS SQL Server and oracle databases. NMS server needs to access
the database to write/read data into/from the database. The read
and write requests of the client to the database are forwarded and
executed through the NMS server.
Remote Access The client is an NMS remote terminal to the server. The user can lo-
gin remotely to the NMS. User can access the NMS center through
the Internet or the Intranet client to perform authorized NMS op-
erations.
Networking Mode NMS networking mode is shown in Figure 2.

FIGURE 2 NETWORKING MODE
NetNumen N31 (V4.4.0) NMS can manages either out-of-band or

in-band networking modes.
Out-of-band In out-of-band mode, NE(s) can access the IP network through
Management Ethernet (ETH) interface on the main control card.
Mode
The followings are the advantages of out-of-band management
mode:
� The NM channel and the traffic channel are completely inde-
pendent and isolated.
� In case of traffic channel failure, NMS information flow is not
interrupted.
� The NE(s) are not directly connected, so the failure of one NE
does not affect other NE(s) management.
In-band NE(s) can access the IP network through uplink interface, connect-
Management ing NMS with NE(s).
Mode
The following are advantages of in-band mode:
� Transmit NMS information with the traffic channels without set-
ting up a special NMS network channel.
� Flexible and convenient in networking
