This section explains unmanaged equipment, including discovery behavior and equipment representation. Use it to understand how Cisco Optical Network Controller handles devices without full management context.
Unmanaged equipment is a Cisco Optical Network Controller capability that
-
supports the related optical network management workflow,
-
provides context for configuration, monitoring, or troubleshooting tasks, and
-
helps operators understand how the feature behaves before they use it.
Unmanaged equipment details
Unmanaged devices are third party devices that can be included in the Cisco Optical Network Controller circuit trails connected to transponders.
Cisco Optical Network Controller supports the unmanaged device MXD65-ADVA-FSP-3000-METRO-DCI-OLS in:
-
Topology,
-
Service Assurance,
-
Network Monitoring Workspace and
-
Circuit Monitoring Workspace applications.
The MXD65-ADVA-FSP-3000-METRO-DCI-OLS unmanaged device appears as 3LS in the circuit link.
In case a degree between the ADVA devices is deleted and recreated, then a resync of the COSM nodes is mandatory.
This is pre-provisioned equipment in COSM, the link status is not known since Cisco Optical Network Controller has no access to real HW.
Alarms and PM are supported only for NCS 1014 and TXP cards.
Power levels are reported only on the TXP card endpoint of the service, and not on the UME side.
There is no support for automatic degree detection. The neighbouring nodes have to be configured manually through NETCONF RPC.
