Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Limitations 

·       The Logical links are populated using the Logical ports only when the Sedo setting "persistor.logical.create_by_subnets" is enabled.

·       IGP collection is supported only for IS-IS.

·       In Service discovery, service underlay as RSVP tunnel or SR policy is not supported as not provided by Nokia.

·       In Nokia NSP, Service oper-status field support is not complete when using IETF API.

·       Service QoS setting will include only the profile name.

·       Port Statistics for devices with OS version < 21 is not supported in this adapter.

·       Nokia NSP notifications are partial for certain objects. Therefore, the adapter uses notifications as triggers to refresh collection through polling.

·       Provisioning use cases will use NSO.

·       The Nokia NSP adapter with HCO 11.0 is able to handle only L3 topology P2P link. However, a broadcast link is received in the response. To address this, The broadcast link is handled gracefully to prevent the DTO parser failure when processing the broadcast link.

·       The IETF response, which provides the network-types key as “ietf-te-topology:te-topology” delivers partial data. To mitigate this, the adapter handles the issue by not passing the data to the processing module.

·       The Nokia NSP adapter is capable of listening to change notifications messages on the topic nsp-yang-model.change-notif. The updates are processed using the key to HCO model mapping. For mapping of HCO objects to Nokia NSP adapter notification keys, see the table below:
