NSP

Wavence management using the NSP

You can use the NSP to view, configure, and monitor Wavence objects. Wavence nodes that have been discovered using the NFM-P appear in the NSP, and are available for basic NSP functions including supervision and fault management. You can perform tasks on multiple devices using large-scale Operations, and configure devices and services using Intents. Management tasks you can accomplish using the NSP include the following.

Equipment monitoring:

Configuration:

Troubleshooting:

Note: When using the wavence-service-migration operation in NSP, if two VLAN services have been created with the same sites and adjacencies, migrating one of the services will migrate both services – even if they have different VLAN service IDs.

Service management considerations

You can provision and activate services across Wavence devices discovered in the NSP. For more information about service management, see the NSP Service Management Guide. When using the NSP to manage Wavence services, be aware of the following considerations.

CAHD ports on MSS-4/8 nodes appear available for service deployment, but are only functional when used in a Radio LAG.

Intent-based radio parameter configuration considerations

You can efficiently configure radio parameters on Wavence devices using intents in the NSP. For more information about using intents, see the NSP Network Automation Guide. When using intents to configure Wavence devices, be aware of the following considerations.

Errors are logged in the EmsServer.log file. When there is a failure in radio parameter configuration, check this log file to determine the cause.

Target port lists may show all radio ports regardless of the type of ports selected. Ensure you are selecting the correct radio ports.

Only one radio LAG per node can be selected when configuring radio PM for the radio LAG.

Configuring parameters that normally cannot be configured from the NFM-P results in a deployment error. The NSP may permit you to choose configuration options that are not supported. This affects the following circumstances:

Deleting a deployment from the NSP as a workaround can help when a deployment error occurs, ensure that the Network and NSP option is used.

Intent-based ethernet parameter configuration considerations

You can configure ethernet parameters on Wavence devices using intents in the NSP, see Intent-based Wavence configuration

Intent-based Wavence configuration

The NSP provides intent types for configuring Wavence devices, contained in the nsp-mpr-icm-intent-types artifact package. If this package is not installed, you can obtain it from the Nokia Support Portal or your Nokia support representative.

Intent-based device configuration

The following table lists supported device configuration tasks and the related intents to use in the NSP. For example, if you need to perform ethernet port configuration, you would import the icm-wavence-ethernet-port-configuration intent. For information on how to use intent-based device configuration, see the NSP Network Automation Guide. For detailed information about each intent, see the NSP Device Configuration Intent Type Catalog.

Notes

Network element configuration

icm-wavence-network-element-config

Use the Bulk Configurations template to configure common parameters on multiple NEs, and the Default template to configure specific parameters for a single NE.

Ethernet port configuration

icm-wavence-ethernet-port-configuration

Use the MSS-Based template to configure MSS nodes, and the Pizzabox-UBT-SA-Based template to configure single-shelf (MSS-E/HE/XE or UBT-NIM) and UBT-SA nodes.

Policy distribution intents

The following table lists intents used in policy configuration and distribution, for use with NSP operations such as bulk password changes. The role of each intent is described in the associated procedure.
