Network Management Module
iConverter
TheiConverterNetworkManagementModule(NMM)istheheart
of the iConverter management system. It supports SNMPv1,
SNMPv2c,SNMPv3 andTelnetprotocols, andfeaturesa32-bit,
high performance RISC microprocessor executing a real-time
operatingsystem. SMNPv3provides secure accesstodevices
bya combinationof authenticatingand encryptingpackets over
thenetwork.
TheNMM manages allconvertersand chassis powersupplies
withinitsmanagementdomain (modulesandchassisconnected
to the NMM), continuously collecting status and module
information. It reports the collected status via the SNMP
protocoltothe network managementapplications.
The NMM features a serial port for initial configuration, a
front-planeRJ-45 Ethernetport,a backplaneEthernet portand
a pair of multi-chassis cascade ports.
The Ethernet backplane port is used to connect adjacent
iConverter modulesinthesamechassis(in-bandmanagement),
offeringdirectEthernet backplaneaccesstotheNMM. External
management(out-of-band) isaccomplishedvia thefront-plane
Ethernetport, facilitating IPbased elementmanagement using
NetOutlook®or third-partySNMP management applications.
TheNMM utilizesOperations,AdministrationandMaintenance
(OAM) services for carrier-grade network access with
comprehensiveprovisioning andnetworkmonitoring. It features
IP-basedandIP-lessmanagementofiConverter equipmentwithin
themanagementdomain.
The NMM supports IP-less management through the IEEE
802.3ah management channel and Omnitron’s Secure and
encrypted management channel. With IP-less management,
an NMM in a chassis at the network core can manage up to 18
iConverterNetwork Interface Devices (NIDs) at different edge
locations with a single IP address. This capability simplifies IP
addressmanagement,improvesnetworksecurity,andconserves
the use of IP addresses.
Whenmanaging high-densityconfigurations inaCentral Office
or network core, the NMM can cluster (daisy-chain) up to 19
chassis into a single IP address. In this configuration, NMM
moduleswithin each chassisare connected toeachother over
ahigh speed serial connection.
