Workflow to deploy optical and classic IP management

Description

The following is the sequence of high-level actions required to deploy optical and classic IP management.

Note: Before you attempt to deploy an NSP component, you must review and comply with the deployment requirements and restrictions in the NSP Planning Guide.

Note: Some components of an NSP system can be at different releases; see the NSP Release Notice for component release compatibility information.

Note: User group properties are component-specific. When a user of a specific NSP component requires authorization to access an additional component, the user group must be re-created in the new component in order for them to access the functions associated with the new component. Instructions for creating a user group are in the component documentation.

Stages
 
1 

Install an NSP cluster. Perform To install the NSP.

NOTE: For a deployment of this type, both the Service Activation and Configuration and the Multi-Layer Discovery and Visualization licensed packages are required.

2 

Install the NFM-P, as described in NFM-P installation; configure the NFM-P to use the PKI server for TLS.

3 

If you are adding an existing NFM-P system to the NSP cluster, add the servers to the NFM-P system; perform To integrate the NSP and NFM-P.

4 

Perform To install the NSP templates for NSP service management on the NFM-P to install the NSP templates on the NFM-P.

5 

Install the WS-NOC, as described in the WS-NOC HW and OS Installation Guide and the WS-NOC Installation Guide.

6 

If you are adding the NSP cluster to an existing WS-NOC system, add the servers to the WS-NOC system; perform To integrate a containerized Release 21.12, 22.6, 22.12, 23.6, or 23.12 WS-NOC and the NSP.

Note: The WS-NOC information must also be added to the NSP configuration.

7 

Perform To map external user groups to predefined WS-NOC roles.

8 

Install the VSR-NRC. See VSR-NRC installation overview for more information.

9 

In a deployment of this type, the NSP uses the VSR-NRC to obtain IGP topology data by default. To configure the NSP to receive IGP topology from the CPAA instead, perform To change the IGP topology data source.

10 

Install third-party optical controllers using the NSP cluster; see the NSP IP/Optical Coordination Guide or the Network Developer Portal for more information.
