Day to Day tasks in Engineering and Operation

• Needs to do new Service Modeling (here we discuss MPLS L2 and L3 Services only)

• Wants as much automation as possible in service rollout as business wants to monetise services

• Needs to monitoring the network and the services it is caring

• Wants automated Root Cause Analysis for faster service restoration

• Usage of analyse and troubleshooting workflows

• Make sure configs are saved and stored for use in emergency

• Must contain a base of well known and working images

Providers, Customers, VPN’s,… Design

• A Provider in Prime Provisioning

represents the BGP AS in L3VPN’s.

• Each customer site belongs to

exactly one customer.

• A customer site can contain one or

more (for load balancing) edge

device routers

Resource Pools Information from resource pools will be used automatically in SR

• IP Address Pools per Provider Site

• Route Distinguisher and Route

Targets can be created and

individually added to SR

• VLAN pools have Device local

significance, hence must be created

for each Device individually

• VC ID

Design

Page 15: Cisco Prime IP NGN · •Zero-touch provisioning •Mobile AAA for SP Wi-Fi [Sigtran] ... Full Alarm Lifecycle Support Seamless X-Launch of Source Domain Manager Assure . Network

Service Policies

• Cookie cutter” – define exactly how you want a certain service type to be provisioned

• E.g. ELINE Type X always provisions dot1Q with auto-allocated VLAN ID

• The more restrictive the service policy, the less margin for error => increased provisioning accuracy

• A policy shall be as simple as

possible and only as complex as

needed also .

• A policy can be as open, allowing a

Operator to change anything or as

closed as possible in order to allow

only minimal changes such as

comments.

• In this policy all required parameters

will come from the resource pools

Tivoli Netcool - Mttrapd and viewer

• Netcool has a probe that listens to traps – Multi-Thread Trap Daemon (also known as Mttrapd)

• Mttrapd Probe has parsing rules

• Mttrapd parses any trap that it receives and stores it in the TivoliDatabase as an alarm with the Prime Network parent/child identifiers

• Multiple users can view the DB according to a defined view

Netcool Probe

(Mttrapd) DB

RCA is rolled up into Trap and

sent from the Prime Network

system to the Netcool

Mttrapd parses the trap and

stores a new alarm in the

Netcool DB accordingly

Clients can view alarms

according to defined views

Why Cisco Prime What makes the difference

• Outstanding operational scale Integrated operator workflows across the entire network, from subscriber access

to the core and data center following the Design, Fulfill, Assure and Analyse Flow on Network Service’s

• Improved operator experience Centralized network and service visibility and advanced troubleshooting and

diagnostics capabilities

• Accelerated MPLS L2/L3 service deployment through automated network configuration and point-and-click

provisioning

• Comprehensive service assurance fault analysis, root-cause event identification, and topology-guided

troubleshooting; simplification of troubleshooting results from alarm reduction through correlation and de-

duplication capabilities.

• Lower total cost of ownership Rich set of NBI’s to integrate into NMS/OSS environment. Integration into

CIC/Netcool serving as MoM or via SNMP to any Trap Receiver. Integration into Inventory System

• Eases Service Provider network transitions Single integrated solution supporting both legacy and next

generation equipment
