iConverter ® NMM
Network Management Module
iConverter
The iConverter Network Management Module (NMM) is the heart
of the iConverter management system. It supports SNMPv1,
SNMPv2c, SNMPv3 and Telnet protocols, and features a 32-bit,
high performance RISC microprocessor executing a real-time
operating system. SMNPv3 provides secure access to devices
by a combination of authenticating and encrypting packets over
the network.
The NMM manages all converters and chassis power supplies
within its management domain (modules and chassis connected
to the NMM), continuously collecting status and module
information. It reports the collected status via the SNMP
protocol to the network management applications.
The NMM features a serial port for initial configuration, a
front-plane RJ-45 Ethernet port, a backplane Ethernet port and
a pair of multi-chassis cascade ports.
The Ethernet backplane port is used to connect adjacent
iConverter modules in the same chassis (in-band management),
offering direct Ethernet backplane access to the NMM. External
management (out-of-band) is accomplished via the front-plane
Ethernet port, facilitating IP based element management using
NetOutlook ® or third-party SNMP management applications.
The NMM utilizes Operations, Administration and Maintenance
(OAM) services for carrier-grade network access with
comprehensive provisioning and network monitoring. It features
IP-based and IP-less management of
iConverter equipment within
the management domain.
The NMM supports IP-less management through the IEEE
802.3ah management channel and Omnitron’s Secure and
encrypted management channel. With IP-less management,
an NMM in a chassis at the network core can manage up to 18
iConverter Network Interface Devices (NIDs) at different edge
locations with a single IP address. This capability simplifies IP
address management, improves network security, and conserves
the use of IP addresses.
When managing high-density configurations in a Central Office
or network core, the NMM can cluster (daisy-chain) up to 19
chassis into a single IP address. In this configuration, NMM
modules within each chassis are connected to each other over
a high speed serial connection.
„ The iConverter NMM provides real-time management,
trap notification and remote configuration of iConverter
equipment within the same domain
