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.

Nokia Network Services Platform (NSP) Adapter

General information

The Nokia NSP adapter is an IP adapter that supports the discovery of inventory, topology, IGP-ISIS, TE-Topology-ISIS, L3-Topology (P2P Link, Broadcast Link), RSVP-TE, SR-TE, L2VPN, and L3VPN services.

In all of the above, the adapter uses the raw data received from the NSP controller through REST API to collect the relevant data.

The adpter introduces support for Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for discovery, notifications and stats collections.

Note that Crosswork Hierarchical Controller supports provisioning of L2VPN and L3VPN for Nokia NSP. Provisioning is provided by the NSO engine, which is embedded in Crosswork Hierarchical Controller. For more information, refer to the Cisco Crosswork Hierarchical Controller 8.0 Service Provisioning User Guide.

Notifications

Note:     The information below on the notification messages from Nokia NSP is restricted. This data cannot be made available for external reference or public availability. So, use of this information should follow the documentation classification guidelines of Cisco.

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 as below:

Limitations 

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

·       Nokia NSP adapter does not have IPv6 support.

·       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 via polling.

·       Provisioning use cases will use NSO.

·       The Nokia NSP adapter with HCO 8.0 is able to handle L3 Topology P2P link only, Broadcast links are not discovered by this adapter.

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

·       The Nokia NSP adapter with HCO 8.0 supports only discovery of Eline, L2VPN services (types: VPWS, VPWS_EVPN, VPLS and MPLS_EVPN) and L3VPN services. Discovery of services with other service types is not supported.

·       The service endpoints with priority-tagged, dot1q and qinq are supported. Untagged encapsulation type is not supported.
