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.
Support artifacts
Downloadable artifacts are available to support NSP functions for both classic and MD managed NEs.
Adaptor artifacts support model-driven mediation. Other types of artifacts, such as intent types and telemetry resource files, support classic, MD, or both, depending on the artifact.
Device artifact bundles and documentation are available from the Nokia NSP software download site. For Nokia devices, select the NSP release, then the NE family, for example, SR_OS, to see the list of available artifact bundles and documentation.
Artifact guides are provided for each NE family and NSP release. For example, the Nokia SR OS Artifact Guide for Release 23.11 lists and describes the artifacts delivered to support management of Nokia SR OS devices by NSP Release 23.11, including artifacts for model-driven management and ones that support other NSP functions.
