Operation types provided by NSP
Default operation types
The NSP provides default operation types that allow you to perform backup, restore, upgrade, and audit operations. You can create additional operation types for use with your network.
The following sections describe the operation types available for each task.
Important! Operation types and workflows provided with the NSP are signed by Nokia. Signed artifacts cannot be modified. If you choose to manually clone, edit and re-deploy a signed artifact, the clone is not signed.

Each operation calls one or more workflows. See the Workflows tutorial on the Network Developer Portal for information about updating workflows.
MAG-c operation requirements
The NSP supports performing backup, restore, upgrade, and audit operations on MAG-c Appliance NEs, with the following requirements:
-
A CLI mediation policy with a common username and password attached to both MAG-c a2 Appliance NE and MAG-c NE
-
An FTP mediation policy attached to both MAG-c a2 Appliance NE and MAG-c NE using the NSP UI
-
For upgrade operations, the MAG-c a2 Appliance NE must be Release 24.3 R1 or later.
-
When performing an upgrade operation, only select the active MAG-c a2 Appliance NE as the target.
-
For backup operations, ensure the backup file storage directory in the NSP File Server is named the following:
lsom/neBackup/Nokia/MAG_c_Appliance
The directory may be incorrectly named after upgrading the NSP from Release 25.4 or earlier.
MAG-u operation requirements
The NSP supports performing upgrade operations with the following considerations:
-
Before starting the upgrade, predefined BNG queries must be configured on the connected MAG-c using the following commands:
/configure mobile-gateway system bng queries session fwa user-access-type fwa
/configure mobile-gateway system bng queries session "fwa" output-options count
-
When using the single-phase upgrade operation (nsp-ne-upgrade), the reboot action should not be triggered, as it may result in the loss of only FWA sessions.
-
Do not modify the PFCP configuration of the MAG-u in the 10 minutes before starting an upgrade
