System Management Overview
ASR 5000 management capabilities reflect the requirements of the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) model for network element (NE) and element management system (EMS) functions. The system also supports external element management applications via standards-based protocols (CORBA and SNMPv1, v2). Wireless operators can readily integrate the ASR 5000 into their overall network, service, and business management systems. All management is performed out-of-band for security and to maintain system performance.
There are multiple ways to manage the system either locally or remotely using its out-of-band management interfaces.
-
Local login through the Console port on the SPIO card via an RS-232 Console connection (RJ45) directly or indirectly via a terminal server
-
Remote login using Telnet, and Secure Shell (SSH) access to the CLI through the SPIO card's Ethernet management interfaces:
-
Two auto-sensing RJ45 10/100/1000Base-TX shielded twisted pair (STP) ports OR
-
Two optical MMF 1000Base-SX SFP 802.3z-compliant Gigabit Ethernet ports
Important
In release 20.0 and higher Trusted StarOS builds, the Telnet and FTP options are not available.
-
-
Support for Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) via an Object Request Broker Element Manager (ORBEM) interface and Simple Network Management Protocol version 1 (SNMPv1) and version 2 (SNMPv2) for fault management
-
Authentication via RADIUS/Diameter or TACACS+
The StarOS CLI provides complete Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security (FCAPS) capabilities as described in the remaining chapters of this guide.

By default StarOS supports local Console access to the CLI via the RS-232 Console port for initial system configuration. |
