1.1 NE3S/WS Mediation


NE3S/WS South Mediation mediates management operations and notifications between
Network Management / Element management applications and Network Elements. The O&M
Agent implements the NE3S/WS protocol on the Network element and exposes standard
management interfaces for Network Management /Element Management systems.
NE3S/WS South Mediation is integrated with the O&M agent through NE3S/WS protocol and
enables integration for higher management systems in managing different network elements.
TIP
NE3S/WS is an interface suite based on Web Service technologies, most
importantly based in the SOAP messaging.
SOAP, originally defined as Simple Object Access Protocol, is a protocol specification for
exchanging structured information in the implementation of Web Services in computer
networks. It relies on XML (Extensible Markup Language) for its message format, and usually
relies on other Application Layer protocols, most notably HTTP or SMTP, for message
negotiation and transmission

NE3S/WS is Nokia Solutions and Networks' proprietary interface for several management
fragments:

 FM - Fault Management

 CM - Configuration Management

 PM - Performance Management (Administration of Measurements)

 ATL - Audit Trail

 SLT - System Level Trace / Subscriber and Equipment Trace

1.3 NE3S / WS Implementation

1.3.1 FM Data Flow


The FM notification flow starts when the registered agents send a SOAP message to NetAct.
After load balancing provided by the lb-unify service, the relevant NSN-common_mediation
ServiceMix instance has the service available in the Protocol Manager component.
The SOAP message is forwarded to the Notification Manager. The Notification Manager
identifies the notification type and decides the needed actions. The Enhancer gets the
credentials using NCA (Network Credential Access).
The Data Transformation Component transforms the alarm data to SQL insert XML format
and forwards the data to the DB via the interface.
The Alarm operation flow follows same structure, where Application is sending basic
operation request as a file to the Service Mix instance component. Request goes to the
network element after credential retrieve. The Operation response from network element is
collected by the service mix instance and then forwarded to the application using File SMI.

1.3.2 PM Data Flow


The Measurement schedule defines the time frames during which measurement data is
collected by the agent. It also defines the measurement type and objects for the
measurement. The Measurement type is a group of performance indicators and object
classes which define target for measurement.

TIP
The Administration of measurements (AoM) application is used to activate the
measurements in the Network Elements.

The following list contains the basic scenarios in performance management:


1. New measurement job is activated by the manager.
2. The agent starts to collect measurement data according to the measurement schedule
plan.
3. Measurement results are sent to the manager in OMeS files by the agent.

The Measurement data is received as notifications to the mediation. The Notification is sent
to file writing. Transformation is not needed. Measurement Data is written to SMI as OMeS
files. Files are then ready for PM component in PM Platform to read them.

TIP
The PM data is transferred to

1.3.3 CM Data Flow


CM upload request can be initiated from Monitor application by requesting topology upload
from elements.
This request is sent to the mediation. The service mix instance receives the request message
and sends request to enhancer to get credentials from NCA. The Request is sent to Protocol
Manager which forms the SOAP request and sends it to NE/agent.
The upload type is bulk, meaning that all objects from network element are retrieved. The
response(s) are received by Service mix and forwarded to the interface to external
components. Finally the Monitor application gets the response and constructs the object tree
in the application. The topology is updated.

2.1 SNMP Overview


The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a well-supported standard that can be
used to monitor and control devices. Many SNMP devices provide both general network
management and device management through a serial cable, modem, or over the network
from a remote computer. It involves a primary management station communicating with
different management processes.
The figure in next page shows an outline of an SNMP-based system. An SNMP agent runs
the SNMP management software. An SNMP server sends commands to the agent which
responses back with the results.
The SNMP protocol is initially based on the RFC1157 document. It defines a simple protocol
that gives a management information base (MIB) to the network element.
SNMP is a very simple protocol, but suffers from the fact that it is based on connectionless,
unreliable UDP. Therefore, NSN has developed on top of the basic SNMP a NE3S interface
that brings reliability to the SNMP managed objects. The two main versions of SNMP are
SNMP Ver1 and SNMP Ver2. SNMP has added security to stop intruders determining
network loading or the state of the network.

2.1.1 MIB Structure


To be able to receive information from a managed system, the information has to be defined
in a well-known structure. The structure of the management information as used by SNMP is
specified in RFC 1155 (Structure and Identification of Management Information for TCP/IP-
based Internets). The document describes a general framework for definition of Management
Information Bases (MIB).
The MIB defines the information SNMP can attain from a network element in a tree-like
structure. Top of the tree is the most general information available about a network. Every
branch of the tree becomes more detailed focusing on a specific network area, with the
leaves of the tree holding the most specific information. Each resource to be managed is
represented by an object. This is not a NSN NetAct managed object; it is rather a variable
that is read of set.
A fully qualified MIB object ID is given in 'dot notation':
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1 or .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr
Both notations describe the same object ('sysDescr') of the MIB.
In addition to the Internet-standard MIB-II objects (RFC 1213), many hardware vendors have
developed MIB extensions. These MIB extensions are part of the enterprise branch of the
MIB tree. For example, the path to the Nokia specified MIB is: .1.3.6.1.4.1.94
On the Internet several sources for vendor-specific MIBs exist. A good starting point for
searching MIBs is www.simpleweb.org.

2.3 SNMP and NE3S/SNMP Southbound Mediations


2.3.1 SNMP Mediation
The SNMP southbound interface is used for integrating Nokia Solutions and Networks
network elements, element management systems or multivendor tools to NetAct using the
SNMP mediation. The SNMP SBI supports:
 basic configuration management (topology)
 fault management
 performance management

2.3.2 NE3S/SNMP Mediation


The NE3S/SNMP southbound interface is a proprietary interface used for integrating
networks elements and element managers to NetAct using the NE3S/SNMP mediation. It
supports:
 Administration of Measurements
 fault management
 performance management
In NE3S SNMP FM, alarms are transmitted as SNMP traps. In addition to traps that follow
NE3S MIB conventions, the NE3S compliant agent can also send the following MIB-II traps:
 EGB neighbor loss
 authentication failure
 link up
 link down
 cold start
 warm start.

Connecting the Core Network

3.2 Supported Network Elements


The NSS network subsystem is managed from NetAct via the XoH mediation. The Network
Subsystem (NSS) consists of the following network elements: Mobile Switching Center
(MSCi) with the DX 200 Home Location Register (HLRi) and Circuit Switched Data Server
(CDS).
The DX 200 Mobile Switching Center (DX MSCi) is a digital switching product for both GSM
(2G) and UMTS (3G) networks. In the DX 200-based network, the NSS switching functions
are distributed between the DX MSCi and DX HLRi, with the DX MSCi performing the
functions of the MSC, the Visitor Location Register (VLR) and Service Switching Point (SSP).
The DX 200 Home Location Register (DX HLRi) functions as an integrated DX HLR (HLR),
Authentication Center (AUC) and Equipment Identity Register (EIR).
The Circuit Switched Data Server (CDS) is a data server providing the circuit switched data
call interworking between PLMN and the fixed networks. The CDS converts the protocols
used in the PLMN to those used in the fixed network.

3.3.2 PM Data Flow


1. Network element sends performance management file ready notification to XoH
mediation through HTTP/HTTPS.
2. XoH mediation parses the notification to get the performance management data file
paths.
3. XoH mediation retrieves network element information from NASDA (topology service)
and credential service, such as network element DN, IP address, file transfer protocol,
user and password.
4. XoH mediation uses FTP/SFTP to get performance management data files from network
element.
5. XoH mediation gets file from network element and sends SOAP message to network
element for successfully transferred files.
6. XoH mediation converts performance management data file format from OMeS1 to
OMeS2.
7. XoH mediation puts OMeS2 files into performance management pipe.
8. PM application handles the files in performance management pipe.
.
Note
In NetAct 15 EP1 there is no common topology for all components. Instead, each component
(for example fault management) has its own topology for application or component specific
data. In NetAct 15 EP1, there is NetAct System Data Access service (NASDA) which
contains and only handles data relevant for the whole NetAct:
 Managed objects registry
 Relationships between managed objects
 Network element connectivity and interface information
 Maintenance regions
 Working sets
 Sites

4.1 NX2S (NE3S/FTP) Mediation


Nokia XML Solution Suite Southbound Interface (NX2S SBI) provides a well-defined interface
based on the extensible markup language (XML) which supports FTP file-based processes.
NX2S SBI offers basic configuration management function including Integration Data Upload
(old Topology Upload) and Integration Data Notification.
NX2S system component provides southbound mediation interfaces to an NX2S based
Agent. This mediation is built on JBI technology based on the Mediation Framework and is
designed to be adaptable to multiple OSS Systems.

4.1.1 Basic Configuration Management (BCM) -Upload


Basic CM comprises the essential functionality needed in a management system to "detect"
and manage a NE.
It provides functions like

 real-time forwarding of notifications

 upload of the basic configuration parameter from the agent (i.e. the configuration of the
Network Element)

Regarding the network parameters, for Basic CM essentially the hierarchy of managed
objects and the parameter common to all classes like user label, vendor or version are of
relevance.
Configuration upload provides means to align the NE image in the Network Manager (e.g.
NetAct) with the actual (or real) configuration of the agent (e.g. Element Manager or NE).
Such function is needed since changes in the Network might not be notified to the manager
in any case (failure situation, notification not supported) or initial upload after installation.
When processing the uploaded configuration, the manager compares its own image in the
database with the data received from the agent and processes it according to the assumption
that the network is the master image:

 Found new managed objects (e.g. NE's) are inserted into the NM database

 Removed managed object (i.e. objects are found in manager but not in the NE) are
deleted from manager database.
Typically the deletion process will include also the removal of all child instances of the node
object implicitly.

 Managed objects, which are modified compared to manager’s image, are updated in the
manager database.

 Inconsistent data is discarded (e.g. invalid relations like MO's without valid parent)

4.4.2 Log Location


- NX2S log is under /var/opt/oss/log/nx2s
* oss_activity0_0.log (for verbose log like DEBUG/INFO)
* oss_error0_0.log (for WARN/ERROR logs)
* oss_trace0_0.log (for event tracing logs)

4.4.3 Mediation log


All mediation log files of NX2S SBI are under /var/opt/oss/log/nx2s.
The log file for information level is oss_activity0_0.log, and the log file for debug level is
oss_trace0_0.log. Errors are logged to oss_error0_0.log.
To change mediation log levels and the file location, modify file /var/opt/oss/log/NSN-
nx2s/log4j.xml accordingly.

4.4.4 Audit Trail log


The output file of audit trail log is /var/opt/oss/log/audit/oss_change-
common_mediations0_0.log.

4.4.5 Trace
/opt/oss/NSN-jbi_swp/bin/set_logger_level.sh
The purpose for this script is to change the level of the logs dumped to NX2S log file. Behind
the scene, this script will modify the logging configuration file:
/opt/oss/NSN-nx2s/smx/conf/log4j.xml
No restart is needed – Log level change takes effect immediately. Any error during the
execution of this script will be dumped to
/var/opt/oss/log/NSN-nx2s/set_logger_level.log

Before changing the logging level, the log4j.xml entries are:


<logger name=" com.nsn.oss.nx2s ">
<level value="INFO"/>
</logger>

To change the Log level, execute:


#set_logger_level.sh –instance NSN-nx2s –logger com.nsn.oss.nx2s –
level ERROR

Then, the log4j.xml will be updated with new log level


<logger name=" com.nsn.oss.nx2s ">
<level value=“ERROR"/>
</logger>
