How does NSP support devices?

Device support overview

NSP supports two types of device management: classic and model-driven.

Classic management

Classic management is provided by the optionally deployable NSP component, NFM-P. Classic devices are discovered in the NSP and managed by the NFM-P in the background. To ensure alignment between NSP and NFM-P, Nokia recommends that all management operations be performed in the NSP.

For information about NFM-P devices, classic discovery, management, all other information about using NFM-P, see the NSP NFM-P Classic Management User Guide.

Model-driven management (MDM)

The NSP supports model-driven management of Nokia and multivendor devices. Device support is provided by adaptors installed in the NSP.

MDM provides mediation between certain NSP functions and Nokia or third-party NEs.
