System Management

VS Configuration: Virtual system (VS) management operations that can be performed vary with the permission assigned to different roles. A physical system (PS) administrator can manage all VSs which belong to the PS; a VS administrator can perform operations only on the managed VS, including starting and stopping the allocated services.

LAD Configuration: Link Automatic Discovery (LAD) is a Huawei proprietary protocol that discovers neighbors at the link layer. Deploying LAD improves NMS capabilities. LAD provides the NMS with detailed information about network topology and changes in topology, and it detects inappropriate configurations existing on the network. The information provided by LAD helps administrators monitor network status in real time to keep the network secure and stable.

LLDP Configuration: The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a Layer 2 discovery protocol defined in IEEE 802.1ab. Deploying LLDP improves network management system (NMS) capabilities. LLDP supplies the NMS with detailed information about network topology and changes to topology, and it detects inappropriate configurations existing on the network. The information provided by LLDP helps administrators monitor network status in real time to keep the network secure and stable.

NTP Configuration: This section describes the fundamentals, configuration procedure, and configuration examples of the Network Time Protocol (NTP).

OPS Configuration: The open programmability system (OPS) implements flexible and intelligent device management and maintenance.

1588v2 Configuration: By configuring IEEE 1588v2, you can enable devices in the IP RAN scenario to implement time synchronization and clock synchronization.

SMPTE-2059-2 Configuration: SMPTE-2059-2 defines how different devices transmit clock information on a communication network through SMPTE-2059-2 packets. This section describes the fundamentals and configuration procedure of SMPTE-2059-2.

SNMP Configuration: The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a network management standard widely used on UDP networks. It uses a central computer (a network management station) that runs network management software to manage network elements. Three SNMP versions are available: SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. Select one or more versions if needed.

NETCONF Configuration: The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) provides a set of protocols for communication between the Network Management System (NMS) and devices. The NMS can use NETCONF to install, maintain, and delete the configuration of devices.

Device Management Configuration: To allow devices to run stably, device management is required in routine maintenance to expose potential hazards, in addition to proper network planning, familiarizing yourself with the concept and operations of device management helps you manage the device effectively and efficiently.

Information Management Configuration: Information management controls the output of logs, traps, and debugging information, and records information about the status, process, and internal errors during system operation. Information management plays an important role in fault location and responsibility tracing.

Fault Management Configuration: When a fault occurs on a device or network, the device sends relevant information to the fault management (FM) module. The FM module then determines whether to generate and report alarms.

Performance Management Configuration: This chapter describes performance management (PM) principles and provides the configuration procedure and a configuration example.

Upgrade Maintenance Configuration: To add new features to a device or optimize device performance, or if the current resource files (including the system software and GTL) do not meet requirements, you can choose to upgrade software, install patches, or update the GTL as needed.

DCN Configuration: This section describes the principles, configuration procedures, and configuration examples of the data communication network (DCN) feature.

RMON Configuration: Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) can monitor data traffic on a network segment or an entire network.
