Tellabs 8000 Network Manager

Provisioning Packages

Reduce your operational costs with the efcient network provisioning

Overview
The Tellabs 8000 Network Manager is a powerful network and
service management tool for the Tellabs 8600 Managed Edge
System, the Tellabs 8100 Managed Access System, the Tellabs
6300 Managed Transport System, the Tellabs 8800 Multiservice
Router Series and the Tellabs 7100 Optical Transport System.

The Provisioning Packages provide tools for the easy and efficient
creation and management of ATM, TDM, Ethernet, Frame Relay
and HDLC pseudowires as well as TDM and WDM circuits and
VLAN VPNs.

Features and Benefits

The easy-to-use graphical user interface and provisioning templates
make the provisioning fast, simple, error-free and efficient. The
online database keeps the network documented so that all users
have a constantly up-to-date view of the network status. The
provisioned services can be assigned to different service classes
to optimize network operation.
The simplicity of provisioning reduces operating expenses and
helps operators to achieve a fast time to revenue.
Service provisioning is divided into separately licenced packages
according to different technologies.
1. TDM Provisioning
The TDM Provisioning Package enables the provisioning of TDM
pseudowires in the Tellabs 8600 networks with VPN Provisioning
Tool and PDH/SDH circuits in the Tellabs 8100/Tellabs 6300
networks with Router tool.
2. ATM Provisioning
With the ATM Provisioning Package users can create ATM-based
pseudowires with the VPN Provisioning Tool.
3. FR/HDLC Provisioning
The Frame Relay Provisioning Package is used to provision Frame
Relay and HDLC pseudowires with the VPN Provisioning tool.
4. Ethernet Provisioning
The Ethernet Provisioning Package enables the configuration of
Ethernet pseudowires with the VPN Provisioning tool. It is also
used for creating VLAN VPNs with the VLAN Manager tool in the
Tellabs 8100/Tellabs 6300 networks.
5. IP VPN Provisioning
The IP VPN Provisioning Package is used to configure L3 BGP/
MPLS IP VPNs in the Tellabs 8600 networks.
6. Optical Provisioning
The Optical Provisioning Package is utilized for establishing optical
(DWDM) connections in a network where Tellabs 7100 system
is deployed.
Figure 1. Provisioning Tool
Each of the Provisioning Packages is based on a combination of the
intelligent provisioning tools in the Tellabs 8000 network manager;
VPN Provisioning, Router and VLAN Manager. Each package,
excluding the Optical Provisioning Package, also includes Tunnel
Engineering tool to provision manually traffic engineered LSPs in
MPLS networks.
Provisioning Tools
VPN Provisioning
VPN Provisioning provides tools for creating and managing different
kinds of VPN services, such as Ethernet pseudowire mesh, ATM
pseudowire mesh, TDM pseudowire mesh, FR pseudowire mesh,
HDLC pseudowire mesh, BGP/MPLS IP VPN and default
routing access.
A pseudowire mesh VPN has a point-to-point topology with two
endpoints connected with a pseudowire. A user can create several
point-to-point pseudowires under the same VPN, thus creating a
pseudowire mesh.
For Ethernet pseudowires, the two endpoints will either be in
Ethernet ports or VLAN/S-VLAN sub-interfaces. For ATM
pseudowires the end points will be either ATM VP or VC
sub-interfaces. The endpoints in TDM pseudowires are E1/T1
interfaces or nx64 kbit/s interfaces configured on top of the
E1/T1 interfaces. The E1/T1 interface may be native E1/T1 interface
or E1/T1 streams aggregated onto SDH/SONET channelized
interfaces. The Frame Relay pseudowire interfaces are Frame Relay
PVCs whereas HDLC pseudowire endpoints are HDLC interfaces.
Also ATM and Ethernet cross-connections locally connected
pseudowires are fully supported.

BGP/MPLS IP VPNs, on the other hand, may have multiple
endpoints. The following three different topology types are
supported for these kinds of VPNs:
Full mesh: Traffic can be sent from any endpoint to any other
endpoint through the VPN.
Central services hub-and-spoke: Traffic can be sent from a
single hub endpoint to any of the spoke endpoints or from any of
the spoke endpoints to the hub endpoint. The spoke endpoints,
however, can not communicate with each other through the VPN.
Full-featured hub-and-spoke/ firewall hub-and spoke: A spoke
endpoints can communicate with each other through a customer
router that lies behind the hub endpoint.
In the default routing access service type, the interfaces associated
with the service do not belong to any VPN. The IP traffic originating
from the interfaces will be routed using the default routing table.
Thus interfaces belonging to different default routing access
instances can communicate with each other. The default routing
access instances for the service can be considered as administrative
instances, used for documenting the interfaces where broadband
services have been configured.
In addition to these topologies available for customer VPNs carrying
payload data, VPN provisioning also supports a single management
VPN one per network enabling central management of the
non VPN-aware CE routers on the customer premises. The topology
of the management VPN is like the central services hub-and-spoke
VPN, with the exception that the management VPN may have more
than one hub site.
Router
With Router, users are able to create and manage connections
between user interfaces through the Tellabs 8100/Tellabs 6300/
Tellabs 7100 network. A wide variety of circuit types are supported,
whether DWDM, SDH or PDH, ATM or Frame Relay. Circuits are
also used to route virtual trunks (e.g., VC-2/12, ATM and Frame
Relay) through the high order network. The circuit types supported
are point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, compressed point-to-point,
broadcast and swap.
Each circuit can be given a name and a unique identification
number. It is possible to view the circuits by different criteria
such as customer, circuit type, circuit state or capacity.
The Router utilizes the network capacity in an efficient way. It is
possible to select the time slots or optical channels for a certain
circuit and view the allocated capacity on a circuit basis.
The circuits can be routed through the Tellabs network either
manually or automatically. Manual routing is done by simply selecting
the route, i.e., nodes and trunks with enough capacity. In automatic
routing the nodes and trunks are chosen automatically using the
shortest path algorithm. The algorithm finds the optimal route by
means of a certain set of weighted criteria, e.g., length, cost, delay
and occupation.
It is also possible to create planned circuits without physical
hardware in place. This way the connections can be built in
advance using planned interfaces and trunks. The circuit can then
be connected to be operational when the physical hardware is
installed and available. In addition to the primary route, a circuit
can have a backup route. This backup route is either pre-routed
or dynamically routed by the Recovery Management System (an
optional application package, please see the Recovery Package
data sheet) when the primary route fails.
VLAN Manager
VLAN Manager is a user-friendly provisioning tool for VLAN
connections, i.e., VLAN VPNs.
VLAN Manager is only used for VLAN VPN provisioning. Other
management tasks, such as creating Layer 1 connections, are
performed with other Tellabs 8000 network manager applications.
This enables seamless integration into TDM provisioning and
eliminates the need of redundant configuration work.
VLAN trunks, i.e., Layer 1 connections between Ethernet/VLAN
switching network elements, are created in the same way as the
other trunk types in the Tellabs 8000 network manager by using the
Network Editor tool. VLAN Manager considers VLAN trunks as TDM
capacity reserved for VLAN Managers use and uses the VLAN
trunk information stored in the Tellabs 8000 network manager
database to calculate optimal routes for VLAN VPNs.
The VLAN Domain Configuration tool has also been implemented
into the Network Editor. The tool automates the configuration of
VLAN domain wide parameters, such as Qos, into the Ethernet/
VLAN switching network elements. VLAN domains are separate
Ethernet/VLAN network instances, i.e., sets of Ethernet/VLAN
switching elements and VLAN trunks that connect them.
Provisioning Processes
The provisioning tools provide a high-level user interface for
establishing connectivity services. The workflow is designed to be
very simple. The main provisioning steps are:
Select the service type (e.g., pseudowire mesh, point-to-point
circuit, VLAN VPN) in the provisioning tool.
Give basic information (e.g., name and customer) for the
service and define the service parameters (e.g., capacity,
traffic classification, QoS parameters, etc.)
Select the endpoints of the service. This refers to a point where
the end user accesses the service, located in the interfaces or
sub-interfaces of the network element. End interfaces for the
services are chosen using a simple point-and-click workflow.
Prepare a service configuration in the database-level. This
involves routing the service for TDM/VLAN VPN services and
calculating configuration settings (e.g., routing, policer and access
control lists) for MPLS-based services.
Connect the service. After the connect command the required
parameters are sent to the network elements and the
communication between these elements and the management
system is started.
The services can be easily modified later, if needed, and deleted
if they are no longer used.

Wizards
When needed, it is possible to speed up the already fast provisioning
process with Pseudowire Wizard and Cell Site Wizard tools.

The Pseudowire Wizard enables the user to select a group of source

and destination interfaces from the network and then creates the
required pseudowires between the selected interfaces.

The Cell Site Wizard combines the steps needed when adding
pseudo wire connections from a NodeB to an RNC. The wizard
will create and configure the needed ATM interface hierarchy and
the required pseudo wire. The wizard uses configuration templates
which can be tailored for different types of NodeBs to be added in
the network.

Reparenting
Move Endpoints functionality under the VPN provisioning tool is
specially designed for reparenting pseudowires. The user can
easily select a group of interfaces used for pseudowires as well as
interfaces where the endpoints need to be moved and click start.
Tellabs 8000 network manager then automatically moves
the pseudowires to new destination interfaces.

Together with Service Fault Monitoring Package and the fully

integrated advanced testing tools in the Testing Package the
Provisioning Packages form a unique way of provisioning, testing
and monitoring services centrally from one management system.
