H
ATM VPI/VCI and DLCI Correlation. For networks with both ATM and frame
relay-access endpoints, allows the FrameSaver unit to report the originating
Virtual Path or Channel Identifier (VPI/VCI) in the far-end ATM-access
endpoint where the local DLCI is mapped so they can be correlated for
OpenLane SLV reports.
H Back-to-Back Operation. Allows two FrameSaver devices to be connected
via a leased-line network or simulation so a point-to-point configuration can
be implemented.
H
Configuration Upload/Download and Software Download Capability.
Provides quick transfer of configuration options to and from nodes and
software downloads while the unit is running using the standard File Transfer
Protocol (FTP). Two software images can be stored.
H Dual Flash Memory. Allows software upgrades while the unit is up and
running. Two software loads can be stored and implemented at the user’s
discretion.
H
OpenLane Service Level Management Solution. Provides an
advanced, standards-based performance monitoring and management
application.
Being standards-based, the OpenLane SLM system can also be used with
other management applications like HP OpenView or IBM’s NetView.
OpenLane includes HP OpenView adapters for integrating OpenLane
features with the OpenView Web interface.
Being Web-based, the OpenLane system provides Web access to the data
contained in the database to provide anytime, anywhere access to this
information via a Web browser.
Some of the OpenLane SLM system’s features include:
— Real-time performance graphs provide exact performance measurement
details (not averages, which can skew performance results) of service
level agreement (SLA) parameters.
— Historical SLV graphs provide service level management historical
reports so frame relay SLAs can be verified.
— Diagnostic troubleshooting provides an easy-to-use tool for performing
tests, which include end-to-end, PVC loopback, connectivity, and physical
interface tests.
— Basic configuration allows you to configure FrameSaver devices, and set
RMON alarms and thresholds. Network DLCI Circuit IDs can also be
assigned.
— Automatic SLV device and PVC discovery allows all SLV devices with
their SLV Delivery Ratio configuration option enabled to be discovered
automatically, along with their PVCs.
— A FrameSaver unit can be reset from the OpenLane system.
— Firmware downloading provides an easy-to-use tool for downloading to
an entire network or a portion of the network.
— On-demand polling of FrameSaver devices, and SNMP polling and
reporting are available.
