3.5.1 Prerequisites for Adding NEs

3.5.1 Prerequisites for Adding NEs

Before adding a new NE, you must enable the NE service for that NE. The NE service is enabled by default, but the service is not started as a process unless you activate an NE for that particular service. You must also meet certain other specific prerequisites depending on the type of NE you are adding.

Note There are no prerequisites for adding MDS 9000, ONS 15327, ONS 15600 SONET, or ONS 15600 SDH NEs.

3.5.1.1 Prerequisites for Adding ONS 15216 EDFA2 or EDFA3 NEs

Before adding ONS 15216 EDFA2 or EDFA3 to CTM, you must do the following:

•Configure the CTM SNMP community string with read-write access on the ONS 15216 EDFA2 or EDFA3. Refer to the NE documentation for more information.

•Ensure that the CTM SNMP community string value and the CommTrapEntry community string value on the ONS 15216 EDFA2 or EDFA3 match. To ensure that these values match, enter the value from the CommTrapEntry in the ONS 15216 EDFA2 or EDFA3 into the SNMP Community String field in the Domain Explorer.

•(For the ONS 15216 EDFA3 only) Start the FTP service. To verify that the FTP service has started, enter the ftp 0 command and enter the username and password specified during installation.

•(For the ONS 15216 EDFA2 only) Configure the TFTP service on the CTM server to publish the TFTP directory and start the TFTP service. The directory to be published as TFTP directory should have read-write access. To configure the default tftpboot directory:

Step 1 Start the TFTP service on the CTM server by uncommenting the tftp service entry from the /etc/inetd.conf file, and update the name of the directory to be published as a TFTP directory. For example:

tftp dgram udp6 wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s /tftpboot

Step 2 Stop and restart the inetd process.

Note For passive ONS 15216 NEs, there is no communication between CTM and the NE itself and all the information is user-defined. For example, you can add inventory information in the Domain Explorer and add specific information (such as a serial number) in the NE Explorer. For passive ONS 15216 NEs with multiple slots, you can use the NE Explorer to specify the content of each slot. The information you define is maintained in the database and propagated to an external OSS by using

CTM GateWay/CORBA.

3.5.1.2 Prerequisites for Adding ONS 15302 and ONS 15305 NEs

Before adding ONS 15302 and ONS 15305 NEs to CTM, make sure that a valid SNMP community string is set up on the ONS 15302 or ONS 15305 to allow performance monitoring and fault management data collection from the NE.
