1 Introduction to Tellabs 6300 Manager
Introduction to Tellabs 6300 Manager

Tellabs 6300 manager is a complete element manager and network manager, which allows you to survey both equipment and traffic, to set up and reconfigure end-to-end connections, to manage equipment, and to collect performance data for the traffic. Alarms received from the equipment are indicated in the GUI by color changes of the icons representing the equipment, where the color is determined by the severity of the alarm. The change of color happens in every domain and window where the network elements icon is shown. If an alarm affects traffic in the network, alarms are generated for the end-toend connections (trails). The trail alarm is indicated with the alarm severity color in the main window for trail management (the Find Trail window) as well as with a sequence of colored triangels along the link in the Network Management window. In case of more alarms in a group link, the color indicating the most severe alarm is displayed, while a mouse-over shows the alarm state of all links. TeMIPs alarm handling windows are used to show the detailed information about each alarm. The information includes such data as the probable cause of the alarm, the name of the object that generated the alarm, when the alarm was generated, and when it was received by Tellabs 6300 manager.
Overview
Alarm indication and presentation
Element management
Configuration and management of individual network elements is performed in a number of sub windows, each window dedicated to a specific task (for example, cross connections, module specification, and synchronization). End-to-end connections (trails) are set up in the GUI in one simple operation, where you select the two end points and then specify the trails parameters (parameters such as protection, signal structure, customer, and subroutes). Tellabs 6300 manager has very powerful trail management features for setting up and configuring traffic. The network traffic management is based on a powerful network model concept. The model is not concerned with the specific attributes of the network elements, but mainly represents the networks end-to-end connections (trails) and capacity at the different bandwidth layers. Each network element is represented by a matrix that contains information about termination points and internal connections. The model also registers the time slots (link connections) between the network elements that are used by the trails.
Traffic management
Network editing
The network view is created and edited in a network editor GUI, in which you can create new network objects and drag-and-drop them to their position in the domain. Tellabs 6300 manager provides a graphical view of the clock distribution and synchronization between network elements in the network. The information provided by timing view can be used to discover timing loops and to improve the topology of the network.
Timing view
Performance monitoring
The collection of performance data can be used to monitor and document the quality of supplied services.

1 Introduction to Tellabs 6300 Manager
All kinds of performance data can be collected, including the standard SDH performance counters supported in the managed SDH network elements (following the ITU G.826 standard). The performance data is represented in report form by a performance report generator. The performance data can be correlated from the network elements to the trails. The periodic performance management reports are generated per network element or per trail.

2 Representation of Your Network
Representation of Your Network

This topic describes how the equipment in your network is represented in the Tellabs 6300 manager windows. 2.1 Introduction on page 13 2.2 The Network Entities on page 15
Overview
2.1
Introduction
The figure shows an example of a network representation in the main window of the Tellabs 6300 managers graphical user interface. This is the window in which the managed equipment is represented and operated on, and from which the main functions of the system are initiated.
Network representation
Different levels of detail
The network representation as such is shown at different levels of detail. The main window of Tellabs 6300 manager shows the topology of the network (that is, which elements the network consists of, how the elements are connected, and how they have been grouped in domains). Other windows show the details of the individual elements (for example, the contents of a specific network element (NE)). This allows operations - for instance inspection and configuration - to be performed on the whole network or on parts of it.
MA266 Rev. E2
13
How the managed equipment is represented
The different types of equipment in a network are represented in the following way: Network elements In Tellabs 6300 manager the network elements (NEs) are represented by NE objects and NE matrix objects. (The NE matrix objects are relevant in connection with trail management, and with one matrix representation per network traffic layer). However, to make a clear distinction between the physical NEs and their representation in the network model, the term "NE" always refers to the physical network element and the term "NE matrix" is used in general for any NE representation, even when the representation "only" consists of element management. Via an NE matrix you can therefore access and manage both the physical NE itself and the corresponding network database representation. Cables Cables are represented by links. Cable interconnections Interconnections between fibres from different cables (that is, manholes or distribution frames) are represented by fibre matrices at the physical layer. "Foreign" equipment Equipment which is not managed directly in the current network model, but which is connected to elements inside the managed network (and thereby is part of the trails in the managed network), is represented by external matrices.
Entities and child entities
The elements of a network representation are often referred to by the general terms entities and child entities. The parts constituting an entity, such as the traffic aspects of the channels of an NE, are referred to as child entities. Child entities cannot exist alone but are always bound together with the entity of which they are parts. For instance, it would be meaningless to represent the traffic aspect of an aggregate VC-4 channel detached from an NE.
Note: When an entity is not a child entity, it is sometimes called a global en-
tity to explicitly distinguish it from child entities.

Logical grouping in a domain hierarchy
Tellabs 6300 manager has been designed to manage transmission networks of major geographical areas. Thousands of NEs - that is multiplexers, cross connects, and regenerators - may be controlled and monitored by the system. The elements of the network representation can therefore be grouped in a logical, hierarchical structure in so-called domains. A domain can, for example, represent a geographical area and contain all equipment placed in that area. We recommend that you create a hierarchy of domains and subdomains. You can easily inspect the contents of a specific domain by opening the domain. You open the top domain either by selecting it in the Domain: field or via the domain browser. You open a subdomain by double-clicking on the icon representing it.

MA266 Rev. E2
2.2
The Network Entities

To be able to represent the different aspects of the network in management of the traffic, the network model is organised according to the individual network traffic layers (physical, OTS, OMS, OCH, OTH, RS, MS, VC-4, VC-3, VC12 and data). Each of these traffic layer domains contains representations of the relevant parts of the network (that is, those parts of the network that carry traffic at that layer).
Domains representing traffic layers
The basis for each layer is a so-called layer network domain (LND), which contains the definition of all network entities at that particular layer.
NEs and NE matrices
The NE matrix contains connection termination points (CTPs), trail termination points (TTPs) and matrix connections (MCs) based on the corresponding termination points and the connections between these in the NE. The relevant information is uploaded from the physical network element to the NE matrix at the current layer. To make it easier to manage an NE matrix with a large number of TTPs, it is possible to group TTPs together in TPPools. The TPPool can be used separately when setting up trails. If an NE does not have a corresponding NE matrix, the NE itself is shown in the graphical user interface. In that case, there is no access to NE matrix management.
Fibre matrices
The fibre matrix contains matrix connections that model the inflexible interconnections between pairs of link connections ("fibres") in the links ("cables") terminating in the fibre matrix. The fibre matrix is therefore always inflexible. The fibre matrix does not contain all of the subparts of an NE matrix described in NEs and NE matrices on page 15. There are no trail termination points or TPPools in a fibre matrix, as there is no termination of traffic in a fibre interconnection. The subparts in a fibre matrix must be defined manually since the fibre matrix is not a manageable object.
Note: Because fibre matrices represent manholes, they only appear at the
physical layer.
MA266 Rev. E2
15
External matrices
We distinguish between two types of external matrix: a flexible external matrix and an inflexible external matrix. The flexible external matrix represents equipment which you do not manage directly as part of the current network, but which you do, nevertheless, have some control over (for example, one of your own networks). The inflexible external matrix represents equipment which you do not have any control over and of which you can therefore only show the parts that are known to you (for example, specific lines leased from another supplier). An inflexible external matrix generally represents a whole subnetwork owned by another supplier. The model of an external matrix is very similar to an NE matrix and contains all of the subparts described in NEs and NE matrices on page 15 except TPPools. The subparts in an external matrix are either defined manually on the physical layer or are created automatically by the system in connection with the creation of trails.
Links
A link is a bundle of link connections (LCs) which are a set of timeslots transmitted between matrices. LCs representing, for instance, timeslots carried by sea cables and satellites, could be contained in separate links. In the network model, all layers except the physical layer require that all LCs in a specific link are carried by the same server trail. The links used to supply Ethernet services, are known as "packet links".
External links
An external link and its LCs represent an unknown network that connects two of our networks. Unlike ordinary LCs, external LCs do not have any server trails and must be created manually. A trail is a connection between two trail termination points (TTPs). A trail is the object that carries payload traffic and also can act like a server for link connections (LCs) at another layer. The features and properties of an entity - such as configuration parameters and idenfication of an NE matrix - are called attributes. Attributes describe the settings of an entity and its modes and levels of working. An attribute can be attached either to a global entity or to a child entity - never to both of them. Attributes attached to a global entity - such as an LND - normally describe information relating to the entity as a whole (the signal type of an LND is an example of such an attribute). Attributes attached to a child entity describe details relating to that specific child entity, for instance the directionality of a matrix connection.
Trails
Attributes of network entities
Entity names
When you register an entity, it must be given a unique, official name that follows the naming standards. However, as the official name may not be very useful for easy identification of the icon in the graphic representation, you can define a nick name for the entity, which is used only in connection with the icon.

3 The Main Window
The Main Window

The figure shows the main window of Tellabs 6300 managers graphical user interface: the Network Management window. In the Network Management window the managed equipment is represented and operated on, and the main functions of the system are initiated. It is from this window that you open all of the other windows available for configuration of network elements, set-up of trails, and so on (the network editor can, however, also be activated on its own).
The work environment for network management
The Network Management window itself consists of the following areas: A menu bar, which contains menus for general functionalities: such as navigation in the domain hierarchy and printing of the currently displayed domain. A toolbar, which provides shortcuts for commonly used menu functions. Display specification fields, with which you can specify the domain and the network layer that you want displayed. The work area which contains the actual graphical display of your network. The pop-up menus available for the various icons allow you to activate the network management functions. A status line, which registers the name of the currently selected entity, indicates alarms, and so on.

6.2
Configuring and Viewing Bandwidth Classes

A maximum number of 512 bandwidth classes can be defined. A bandwidth class consists of an ID, a label, a bandwidth and a burst size. A bandwidth of the specified size will be guaranteed, but the customer is allowed to send burst traffic up to the specified burst size. However, traffic sent at a rate which is higher than the guaranteed bandwidth but still below the burst size, is not guaranteed. The bandwidth classes are grouped according to the following types:
Bandwidth Type Description
Bandwidth classes
CIR PIR CIR + PIR
This type of bandwidth is always available to the traffic. This type of bandwidth is only available when unused bandwidth (not used by CIR) is available. This type of bandwidth guarantees a specified amount of bandwidth. If additional bandwidth is required, then the available additional bandwidth is shared between the traffic using PIR.
Note: Different bandwidth classes are already available by default. Note: CIR classes are used when Fixed is selected in Queue Scheduling. PIR classes are used when Free is selected. CIR + PIR classes are used when both Fixed and Free are selected. See 6.3 Configuring and Viewing
Queue Scheduling on page 52.

Configuring and Viewing Queue Scheduling

Queue scheduling defines which class of service each queue in the system supports. Each type of queue is given one or more type of bandwidth. Fixed and/or Free. Fixed uses CIR settings and Free uses PIR settings (see Bandwidth classes on page 48). The queue is also given a priority value: High, Normal or Low. These settings determine how the traffic is handled by the bandwidth available. There are by default four different classes.
Class of Service Description
Queue scheduling
Real Time
Committed (fixed), high priority A real-time traffic class for VoIP and other traffic that needs a constant flow with very little jitter. Committed (fixed) with burst (free), normal priority A class for customers who want not only a guaranteed bandwidth but also to be able to send bursts of traffic. Committed (fixed), normal priority A class for packet-emulated Ethernet connection service. Limited (free), normal priority A low-cost traffic option for customers who do not need a guaranteed bandwidth.

Configuring and Viewing AFC Profiles

A maximum number of 16 AFC profiles can be defined. An AFC profile consists of an ID, a label and a priority mapping table. The priority mapping table contains 8 different priorities each associated with a queue number and a drop precedence level. When you create an LSP that spans several network elements, the same AFC profile must be selected in all network elements. This means that the definition of AFC profiles is a network-wide operation and not a network element specific issue. The set of default AFC profiles consists of 5 AFC profiles, where 4 of the profiles map to only one queue each and therefore have the same names as the relevant queue (see Queue scheduling on page 52). The last default AFC profile (Multi Service) uses all queue types.

MA266 Rev. E2
63
Step 4
Action
Click Add Bandwidth Profile.... The Add Bandwidth Profile window appears.
The window contains a field for specifying the label of the new bandwidth profile and a number of drop-down lists for selecting the bandwidth classes.
Note: Only the drop-down lists relevant for the currently selected
AFC profile are active. For example, when Multi Service is selected all the drop-down lists are active.
Note: When the Business Data with Burst attribute is active, the list of
possible values includes all the Business Data with Burst bandwidth classes and the complete list of CIR bandwidth classes. In this situation, PIR values = 0, which gives an unlimited peak information rate. The values in this list are required when you upgrade the embedded software your ETEX modules from 2.x to 3.x.
5 6
Specify a unique label for the bandwidth profile in the Label: field. Select a bandwidth class in the relevant drop-down list or lists and then click OK. The window closes and the input focus is returned to the Quality of Service window. The new bandwidth profile is listed in the table.
Click OK or Apply.

Overview
Comparing and Deploying AFC Tables

The behavior of a cross-connection (MC) in an ETEX 2.x or ETEX 3.x module depends on two tables stored in the NE: the Assured Forwarding Class (AFC) profiles table and the Queue Scheduling Profile (QSP) table. The QSP table is predefined in the NE, whereas the AFC table must be defined and then transferred (deployed) into all new NEs. The following topics describe how to compare and deploy AFC tables: 6.7.1 Comparing the AFC Table with the Table in One or All ETEX 2.x and ETEX 3.x NEs on page 65 6.7.2 Deploying the AFC Profiles and IP DSCP Mapping into All ETEX NEs on page 65
Warning: When you are using a specific AFC profiles table in your network,
do not change the profiles but only add new ones. If the priority of a specific profile is changed, trails using that profile may suddenly no longer be allowed to carry traffic.

MA266 Rev. E2
6.7.1
Comparing the AFC Table with the Table in One or All ETEX 2.x and ETEX 3.x NEs
The following FCL command allows you to compare the AFC profile table in a specific ETEX 2.x or 3.x module with the general AFC profile table. In this example, the comparison is for an ETEX 2.0 NE: >compare NeSysConfig nesysconfig ne=etex_20 ne_name, configType=AFC where ne_name is the ID of the specific ETEX NE.
Compare a single ETEX 2.x or 3.x NE
Compare all ETEX 2.0, 2.2 or 3.0 NEs
The following FCL command allows you to compare the AFC profile tables in all ETEX 2.0, 2.2 or 3.0 modules in the network with the general AFC profile table. In this example, the comparison is for all the ETEX NEs with the global class ETEX_20. (The correct way to write the class is shown in the Global Classes list in the Entity Browser window): >compare NeSysConfig nesysconfig ne=etex_20 *, configType=AFC
6.7.2
Deploying the AFC Profiles and IP DSCP Mapping into All ETEX NEs
This procedure describes how to send the definitions of AFC profiles and IP DSCP mapping to all ETEX modules in the network.
Step 1 Action
To deploy AFC profiles and IP DSCP mapping
In the Quality of Service window, click Deploy. A Warning window appears, asking whether you want to continue the operation.
Click Yes. The Deploy Progress window appears.
This window gives a list of ETEX NEs where the quality of service settings are being deployed and it provides a status of the deployment in each NE: successfully deployed or not deployed.

Step 3
Action
Press Close to exit this window and return to the Quality of Service window.
6.8
Saving the QoS Parameter Settings

The current setting of QoS parameters can be saved to a set of text files (an AfcProfile file, a BandwidthClass file and so on). This procedure describes how to create the set of files.
Step 1 Action
To save the QoS parameters
In the Quality of Service window, click Save.... The Save Quality of Service Parameters window appears.
Locate the folder where you want to save the parameter files and click Save. The following set of text files is created: AfcProfile BandwidthClass BandwidthProfile Defaults DpPrioProfile IpDsProfile QSchedulingProfile
