User interfaces

Client-based applications

The NFM-P GUI client provides an extensive IP/MPLS network management interface as part of the Platform feature package. See the NSP NFM-P Clasic Management User Guide for information about this application.

NSP dashboards and UI

Starting with NSP Release 23.11, NSP switched from individual applications to a web-based UI in which the main menu and dashboards are used for navigation. The included dashboards are Network Map and Health, Object Troubleshooting, and Transport Slice Controller.

Network Map and Health and Object Troubleshooting dashboards

The Network Map and Health and Object Troubleshooting dashboards, which can be opened from the main menu in the top-left corner of the NSP UI, combine information and functions from previously different applications into one view, providing a broad perspective on network management. The NSP Troubleshooting Guide provides information about end-to-end troubleshooting scenarios relating to NSP assurance functions.

Transport Slice Controller (TSC) dashboard

The Transport Slice Controller dashboard provides a summary of the overall health of all transport slices in the network, as well as allowing drill-down into health views on a per-slice basis. The TSC dashboard displays details about L0/L1/L2/L3 services and tunnels/paths used during the realization of transport slices, and provides pro-active monitoring telemetry data and reports on transport slices. See NSP Transport Slice Controller Guide for more information and how to access the TSC dashboard.

APIs

For OSS users, NSP functions are available using the REST and RESTCONF APIs. The NSP APIs are documented on the Network Developer Portal.
