For more information:

• See the NSP System Architecture Guide for more information about feature packages and installation options.

• See the NSP Installation and Upgrade Guide for more information about enabling installation options in a containerized NSP deployment.

T-BTS assurance

T-BTS assurance provides the following functionality:

• discovery of MantaRay NM (formerly NetAct) and T-BTS using Device Discovery and Device Management

• display T-BTS in Network Map and Health, Object Troubleshooting, Network Inventory, Service Management, Current Alarms

• discovery of LLDP physical links

• discovery of L2 backhaul services in Service Management

T-BTS assurance and provisioning

T-BTS assurance and provisioning provides life cycle management of L2 Backhaul services in Service Management for T-BTS for creation, resynchronization, deletion and update operations. These features are incremental additions for T-BTS assurance.

T-BTS Radio plane assurance

Radio plane assurance adds the following:

• display of T-BTS radio planes in Network Map and Health in a dedicated radio plane bindings table

• display of detailed radio planes status according to network topology

T-BTS Radio plane assurance and provisioning

Radio plane assurance and provisioning provides life cycle management of L2 backhaul services in Service Management for T-BTS for creation, resynchronization, deletion and update operations. These features are incremental additions for radio plane assurance.

Import SRT bundles

Depending on your installation option, obtain the required bundles from the Nokia portal. Import and install the bundles using Artifacts.

Installation option	Required assurance bundle	Required SRT bundle
T-BTS assurance	nsp-mdt-intents-release-ID-svc-assurance-bundle.zip	—
T-BTS assurance and provisioning	nsp-mdt-intents-release-ID-svc-intent-bundle.zip	—
T-BTS and radio plane assurance	nsp-mdt-intents-release-ID-svc-assurance-bundle.zip	ran-services-app bundle
T-BTS and radio plane assurance and provisioning	nsp-mdt-intents-release-ID-svc-intent-bundle.zip	ran-services-app bundle

See the NSP Network Automation Guide for more information. Once completed, the following workflows and actions can be run in Workflows:

• In the Workflows view:

  • SRT_BindRadioPlane

  • SRT_RefreshBindingsData

• In the Actions view:

  • simplifiedRanTransport.RefreshBindingsData

  • simplifiedRanTransport.RefreshBindingsDataResult

  • simplifiedRanTransport.radioPlaneByTbtsId

  • simplifiedRanTransport.tbtsList

  • simplifiedRanTransport.transportIpByService

  • simplifiedRanTransport.transportServiceByServiceName

  • simplifiedRanTransport.transportServiceByTbtsId

  • simplifiedRanTransport.vlanIdByService

Perform adaptor installation, integration, and T-BTS discovery

See the NSP Nokia TBTS Adaptor Guide for information about:

• Installing and upgrading the T-BTS adaptor

• Configuring the SNMP and REST interfaces and integrating NSP and NetAct/MantaRay NM

• Discovering NetAct/MantaRay NM and the T-BTS

Setup service management configuration for L2 services

This section describes special functionality for L2 service management using SRT. See the Network Developer Portal for more information about the RESTCONF commands that follow.

Intent bundles

Obtain and install the required intent bundles as described in Import SRT bundles to perform service management and configuration.

Enable resync of L2 services

Run the following RESTCONF command to enable periodic resync of T-BTS L2 backhaul services:

PATCH /restconf/data/nsp-admin-resync:resync-policies/mdm/resync-policy=default%20policy/node=tbts/version=v1/entity=nsd-service-l2backhaul%3A%2Fl2backhaul-sites%2Fsite

{

    "entity": [

    {

       "entity-type":"nsd-service-l2backhaul:/l2backhaul-sites/site",

      "period": 1440,

      "admin-state": "enabled",

      "description": "enable l2backhaul-sites periodic resync"

    }]

}

The period is in minutes.

Enable automatic service stitching

Run the following RESTCONF command to enable service stitching, if required:

PATCH /restconf/data/nsp-service-stitch:nsp-service-auto-stitch-configs/nsp-service-auto-stitch-config=mpr-backhaul

{

    "nsp-service-stitch:nsp-service-auto-stitch-config": [

        {

            "service-type": "mpr-backhaul",

            "admin-state": "unlocked", 

            "algorithm-config": [

                {

                    "algorithm": "local",

                    "admin-state": "unlocked"

                }

            ]

        }

    ]

}

Service stitching is enabled by setting admin-state to “unlocked”. It can be disabled by setting admin-state to “locked”. When automatic service stitching is enabled, manual service stitching is not possible.
