MPLS management.

MPLS management overview

System overview

iMC MPLS Management provides a comprehensive MPLS network management solution for
metropolitan area networks. It can cooperate with H3C devices to manage MPLS networks. MPLS
Management provides various functions, including device management, LDP management, LSP
management, topology management, label statistics, and LSP traffic statistics.

MPLS management is developed based on the Intelligent Management Center (iMC) platform. It
adopts the B/S structure. Operators can manage and monitor MPLS networks anytime anywhere
from the local area network or Internet by using a browser, without having to install any client.

Functions

Device management

Allows operators to import devices from the the iMC platform to the MPLS management
component, to configure device LSR IDs, and to enable MPLS/MPLS LDP for devices and
interfaces. Provides batch operations to facilitate device and interface management.

LDP management

Allows operators to manually create remote LDP peers, and view session information between
peers. In addition, the system can automatically discover local peers.

LSP management

Allows operators to manually add static LSPs on the topology, deploy, undeploy, delete, and
audit LSPs. The system can also automatically add static LSPs and automatically discover LSPs.

Topology management

Displays the MPLS global network topology, displays LSPs between devices, and highlights
LSPs.

Label statistics

Collects device label usage statistics, and displays the top 5 devices with the highest
dynamic/static label usage percentages in charts.

LSP traffic statistics

Collects and displays LSP traffic statistics, allows operators to set LSP traffic thresholds, and
generates outgoing traffic statistics reports from multiple perspectives.

in order:

1.

Import devices.
