Model Driven Configurator |
Model Driven Configurator allows you to configure parameters and view state information defined in the NE adaptation schema. . Model Driven Configurator is applicable to devices managed by MDM for which MDC adaptors have been installed in the MDM server. The built-in device models are used; that is, Model Driven Configurator does not perform any model conversion. This enables compatibility with future NE releases without the need to upgrade the NSP. All that is required is installation of the new adaptors. |
Model Driven Configurator |
This chapter RESTCONF APIs are also available for MDM managed NEs; see the Device Configuration API documentation on the Network Developer Portal. |
Configuration |
In the Configuration views, you can define reusable configuration templates covering physical configurations such as cards and ports, and logical configurations such as QoS. These templates can be deployed to the network with fixed or flexible attributes. |

Operations |
An operation is a series of executions, organized in phases, which are performed on a scope of NEs. You can use an operation to perform executions on large numbers of NEs concurrently; for example, upgrading all SR NEs in a network to the latest SR OS release. |

Service Management |
Service Management allows for service provisioning and activation across networks accessible to the NSP, enabling users to make service requests that deploy services to the network using the NSP’s mediation framework. A library exists with a predefined set of service models for both classic and model-mode SR OS networks. These service models can be installed and utilized by NSP to provide assurance that service configuration is as planned/requested, and also provides adaptability for custom service model requests. |
