This chapter describes the NETSMART 1500 TL1 uplink feature, the window used tomanage it, and how an outside system connects to it.

A TL1 uplink is a communication interface (created within TL1 Uplink Management) thatallows an outside system to connect to your NETSMART 1500 Element ManagementSystem (EMS) and, through it, connect to the entire network of NEs it manages. Interactionsthrough an uplink are by TL1 session. Two types of TL1 sessions are supported:

Pass-through sessionA pass-through session is a TL1 session that appears (to theoutside system) to be a direct logon to an NE. The session, however, is through theNETSMART 1500 EMS using the NETSMART 1500 logon to the NE. Dependingon provisioning (by TL1 Uplink Management), the NETSMART 1500 EMS mayfilter alarms, deny commands, or reply on behalf of the NE. The pass-through mode isnormally used for NE provisioning rather than for network monitoring. Refer toSection 3.2, Pass-Through Sessions [p. 3-6], for more information.

SNC sessionAn SNC (subnetwork controller) session is a TL1 session with theNETSMART 1500 EMS itself (rather than with an NE) that allows the outside systemto monitor the entire network of managed NEs through a single TL1 session. TheSNC session is designed to support upper-layer Network Management Systems(NMSs). The SNC session can be set to forward TL1 autonomous messages from allmanaged NEs as they occur. The SNC session responds to a special set of TL1surveillance commands with information retrieved from the NETSMART 1500database. Refer to Section 3.3, SNC Sessions [p. 3-10], for more information.

TL1 Uplink Management provides tools to support the following administration tasks:

Create and manage TL1 uplinks

Create and manage uplink user/logon accountsNote: The uplink user logon account includes the user identifier (user ID) and private identifier

(password) that the outside system uses (in the ACT-USER command) to establish a TL1

session.

Create and manage alarm filters and associate alarm filters with uplink user/logonaccounts

Section 3.5, TL1 Uplink Window [p. 3-23], describes the graphical user interface used toperform these tasks. Chapter 4, TL1 Uplink Administration, provides step-by-stepprocedures.

The TL1 uplink feature allows some customizing. Refer toAppendix A, TL1 UplinkCustomization, for more information.

3.1.1 Uplink Terminology

Table 3-1 [p. 3-3] defines uplink terminology used in this practice.

Table 3-1: Uplink Terminology (1 of 2)

Term Definition

Access control list (ACL) An ACL is a list of TL1 commands that are denied to an uplink user. For more information, referto Section 4.4, Manage ACLs [p. 4-22].

Alarm filter An alarm filter specifies criteria that an alarm message must meet before it is passed to an uplinkuser. For more information, refer to Section 4.5, Manage Alarm Filters [p. 4-29].

Communication session A communication session is a TCP/IP connection between an outside system and the TL1uplink feature of the NETSMART 1500 EMS. An uplink can support one or severalcommunication sessions, depending on how it is configured.

TL1 session A TL1 session is established (within a communication session) when the outside user/systemissues the ACT-USER TL1 command. The session is terminated when the outside user/systemissues the CANC-USER command (or if TL1 Uplink Management disconnects the TL1 session).TL1 Uplink Management supports two types of TL1 sessions:

Pass-through sessionA TL1 session that appears (to the outside system) to be a directlogon to an NE but is actually an indirect connection through the NETSMART 1500EMS, using the NETSMART 1500 logon to the NE, and mediated by theNETSMART 1500 EMS.

SNC sessionA TL1 session (with the NETSMART 1500 EMS) that allows the outsidesystem to monitor the entire network of NEs managed by the NETSMART 1500 EMSthrough a single TL1 session. An SNC session is normally used to support an upper-layerNMS.

3.1.2 TCP/IP Connection

TL1 uplink users establish TL1 sessions within a data communications network (DCN)connection to the NETSMART 1500 EMS via TCP/IP. An uplink can support one or severalTCP/IP communication sessions, depending on how it is configured.

Each configured uplink specifies an IP address and a subnet mask. The subnet maskdetermines the security for a given configuration. A remote system can allow a singlecomputer, a range of computers, or all computers to connect to the TL1 uplink applicationusing the subnet mask. For example, to allow all computers to connect, a subnet mask of

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is used. To allow only one computer to connect, a subnet mask of255.255.255.255 is used, ensuring that only the computer specified in the IP address of thelink can connect. If a link network address is 160.25.50.0 with a mask of 255.255.255.0, therange of computers that can connect to this link is 160.25.50.1 through 160.25.50.254.

Overlapping of subnet masks is permitted. Connections are made on abest-fitscenario. Forexample, if an enabled link has a network address of 172.10.0.0 and a subnet mask of255.255.0.0, and another enabled link exists with a network address of 172.10.50.0 and asubnet mask of 255.255.255.0, when a remote NMS with a network address of 172.10.50.35attempts to connect, it uses the second link, following the best-fit rule. A subnet mask ofxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is only used if the IP address of the connecting computer fails to match any ofthe more specific configurations. A duplicate definition of a network address and subnet mask

combination is not permitted. A single configuration containing a subnet mask ofxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is allowed.

Note: In the subnet masks above, xxx = 255.

Uplink A TL1 uplink is a TCP/IP communication interface created and configured within TL1 Uplink

Management to allow one or more outside systems to establish a TCP/IP communication sessionwith the TL1 uplink feature of the NETSMART 1500 EMS. For information on creating ormodifying an uplink, refer to Section 4.3, Manage Uplinks [p. 4-10].

The uplink name is the unique name given to the uplink to distinguish it from other uplinks.The uplink name is used solely for administrative purposes within the NETSMART 1500 EMS.

The uplink configuration includes the connection parameters that the outside system uses toestablish a communication session and attributes associated with the uplink.

An active uplinkis an uplink with at least one communication session currently active.

User/logon account The TL1 uplink user/logon account sets up the user identifier (user ID) and private identifier(password) that the outside user/system uses to establish a TL1 session (with theACT-USERcommand). Various attributes of the user/logon account are provisionable, including alarm filtersand ACLs. For information on creating or managing user/logon accounts, refer to Section 4.2,Manage Users/Logons [p. 4-2].

3.1.3 TL1 Session

After establishing a TCP/IP session with the NETSMART 1500 EMS, the uplink user canestablish one or more TL1 sessions (within the TCP/IP communication session) using the

ACT-USER TL1 command:

ACT-USER:TID:UID:CTAG::PID;

TIDTarget identifier of the NE (for a pass-through session) or SNC(for an SNCsession)

UIDUser identifier (user ID) of your TL1 uplink user/logon account

CTAGCorrelation tag

PIDPrivate identifier (password) of your TL1 uplink user/logon account

The uplink user can establish many pass-through sessions (with different NEs) through the

TCP/IP connection but should not have an SNC session simultaneous with a pass-throughsession.

Generally, a TL1 session is terminated by the user with the CANC-USER TL1 command.However, the NETSMART 1500 uplink administrator can also disconnect the TL1 session,communication session, or TL1 uplink as described in Section 4.3, Manage Uplinks[p. 4-10].

A TL1 uplink pass-through session is similar to an ordinary TL1 session in that it isestablished with an individual NE and appears (to the uplink user) like an ordinary TL1session with the NE. However, the session is through the NETSMART 1500 EMS and usesthe existing NETSMART 1500 logon to the NE. The NETSMART 1500 EMS denies ormediates some commands and messages as explained later. A pass-through session can be

established with any NE that the NETSMART 1500 EMS is logged on to. In contrast to anSNC session, a pass-through session is intended primarily for provisioning, rather than formonitoring.

An uplink user can have several pass-through sessions (with different NEs) open at once butshould not have an SNC session simultaneous with a pass-through session.

TL1 Commands

If an uplink user establishes a pass-through session with an NE, the NETSMART 1500 EMSgenerally forwards any TL1 command entered by the uplink user to the NE and relays theNEs reply back to the uplink user. The following are exceptions:

Commands ALW-DBREPT, INH-DBREPT, ALW-PMREPT, INH-PMREPT, andSET-DAT are denied to the uplink user.

If an ACL is associated with the TL1 user account/logon, the TL1 commands listed inthat ACL are denied to the uplink user. For more information on ACLs, refer toSection 4.4.2, Associating an Access Control List with an Uplink User/Logon[p. 4-24].

7/28/2019 NETSM410

CHAPTER 3





FNC-1500-0050-410


Some commands (such as RTRV-HDR, ACT-USER, and CANC-USER) are answeredby the TL1 uplink system without interaction with the NE. For more information,refer to Section 3.4, TL1 Commands [p. 3-13].

When using the Pass Thru mode, the user must enter the TID in upper case.

Autonomous TL1 Messages

If an uplinkuser establishes a pass-through session with an NE, autonomous messages fromthe NE are generally forwarded to the uplink user. The following are exceptions:

Transient conditions and messages REPT PM, REPT EVT FILE,REPT AUTO LOGOFF, and REPT DBCHG are never forwarded by TL1 uplink.

If an alarm filter is associated with the uplink user account/logon, those messages arenot forwarded. For more information on alarm filters, refer to Section 4.5.2,Associating an Alarm Filter with an Uplink User [p. 4-32].

The uplink user can allow and inhibit autonomous messages using the ALW-MSG-ALLand INH-MSG-ALLTL1 commands, respectively. These commands remain in effectfor the duration of the pass-through session.

The TL1 uplink administrator provides an initial setting (ALW-MSG-ALL orINH-MSG-ALL) for each uplink user account/logon (refer to Section 4.2.1, Adding anUplink User/Logon [p. 4-3]). The setting takes effect each time the user logs on to anNE, but the user can override the setting with the ALW-MSG-ALL andINH-MSG-ALLTL1 commands.

An SNC (subnetwork controller) session is a TL1 session (with the NETSMART 1500 EMSitself, rather than with an individual NE) that is intended to support network monitoring. Itprovides a mechanism for an upper-layer Network Management System (NMS) to connect tothe NETSMART 1500 EMS and, through it, monitor the whole network of NEs that theNETSMART 1500 EMS manages.

An uplink user should not have an SNC session simultaneous with a pass-through session.

TL1 Commands

If an uplink user (or NMS) establishes an SNC session, the NETSMART 1500 EMSsupports the following TL1 commands:

ALW-SNCMSG

INH-SNCMSG

RTRV-HDR

RTRV-SNCALM

RTRV-SNCNE

RTRV-SYS

CHAPTER 3


SNC Sessions



FNC-1500-0050-410


Autonomous Messages

If an uplink user (or NMS) establishes an SNC session with the NETSMART 1500 EMS,autonomous messages from the whole network of NEs managed by the NETSMART 1500

EMS are generally forwarded to the uplink user (or NMS). The following are exceptions: Messages REPT PM, REPT EVT FILE, REPT AUTO LOGOFF, and REPT DBCHG

are never forwarded by TL1 uplink.

If an alarm filter is associated with the uplink user account/logon, those messages arenot forwarded. (Refer to Section 4.5.2, Associating an Alarm Filter with an UplinkUser [p. 4-32].)

The uplink user (or NMS) can allow and inhibit autonomous messages using theALW-SNCMSG and INH-SNCMSG TL1 commands, respectively. These commandsremain in effect for the duration of the SNC session.

The TL1 uplink administrator provides an initial setting (ALW-SNCMSG or

INH-SNCMSG) for each uplink user account/logon (refer to Section 4.2.1, Adding anUplink User/Logon [p. 4-3]). The setting takes effect each time the user (or NMS) logson to an NE, but the user (or NMS) can override the setting with the ALW-SNCMSGand INH-SNCMSG TL1 commands.
