Nortel Networks 3500, NTRN10AN manual Engineering rules, System identifier SID

Operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) features 2-131

Level 4

•Administration allows complete access to all commands, except for automatic surveillance of all network elements in the network processor span of control. It is recommended that levels 1 through 4 are used to log in to a network element.

Level 3

•Provisioning allows access to provision, test, edit, and retrieve commands.

Level 2

•Control allows access to control and retrieve commands but not to provisioning.

Level 1

•Retrieve allows the user to execute retrieve and report related commands. Because of its limits, level 1 is appropriate for monitoring purposes.

The network processor and shelf processor come programmed with two default accounts named SURVEIL (level 5 access) and ADMIN (level 4 access).

Up to 100 accounts can be created for one network element but only six user sessions using these accounts can be active at one time on one network element.

Up to 99 accounts can be created for one network processor, but only 34 user sessions using these accounts can be active at one time on the network processor. Only two of these accounts can have a level 5 UPC.

Third Level 5 User Support/Increased NPx SOC visibility to 16 NEs

OPTera Metro 3500 supports three surveillance user (level 5) with each users having visibility of NPx’s span of control up to 16 network elements.

Engineering rules

The following engineering rules apply to the third level 5 user feature:

•A maximum of 16 network elements can be managed by any active level 5 user within the NPx span of control.

A unique user account ID (UID) is required for each level 5 user if there are more than one active level 5 user logged in to the NPx.

System identifier (SID)

Each network element and network processor has a unique name, called a system identifier (SID). The SID is set up during the provisioning process and indicates the position and function of a network element or network processor in a network.
