Basic Concepts

 User

 After installation, the N2000 provides a super user admin by default.

 User rights include the rights to manage devices and the rights to
perform operations. That is, each user can only perform authorized
operations on authorized devices.

 User Group

 A user group is a group of users with the same rights to operate on the
N2000. The N2000 provides three default user groups:

− Maintainer group

− Operator group

− Monitor group

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. All rights reserved Page 9


Basic Concepts

 ACL

 The access control list (ACL) determines the IP address from which a
user can log in to the N2000.

 Security control is achieved in two layers:

− System ACL: It defines a series of IP addresses for N2000 clients.


Only clients with these IP addresses can access the N2000 server.

− User ACL: It defines the IP addresses with which a user can access
the N2000 server. All the IP addresses in the user ACL are in the
system ACL.

Basic Concepts

 Management right

 Management rights specify the devices and resources a user can


mange, or an area a user group can manage. A new user has no right
to manage any resource by default.

 Operation right

 Operation rights specify the operations a user can perform. User


operation right is a triplet which consists of users, security objects and
operations.

 Operation Set

 An operation set is a group of operations related to a command set on


the N2000.

Overview

 Topology management enables you to set up and manage the network


topology.
 With the topological view, you can:

 Monitor the running status of the entire network in real time.


 Upload topological data of devices that are automatically discovered
or manually added.
 Monitor devices at intervals and refresh their statuses, so as to keep
the view the same as the actual topology.
 Observe the polling status and alarm status of the devices through
the colour of topological nodes.

 Topological View

 Topology is a map of managed communications network on the


N2000. The managed devices and links are shown on the device
explorer and in the topological view in the form of a tree and diagram.
In the view, you can configure data, manage faults and performance.

 Submap

 In the NMS, you can divide a large network into several smaller
networks by a certain rule, such as by geographical area. This helps
to manage the devices easily. Such small networks are called
submaps in the topology.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. All rights reserved Page 22


Terms
 Node

 A node stands for a managed device in the network.

 For a device with a single frame, one node stands for one device.

 For a device with multiple frames, one node stands for one frame of
the device.

 Link

 A link is a connection between two nodes.

 Container

 A container is a type of topological node which contains nodes. One


container often stands for one device with multiple frames, and each
node in the container stands for one frame.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. All rights reserved Page 23


Terms

 NE

 In topology management, an NE stands for a device in the managed


network. Different device types match different NE types, and
different icons represent different NE types in the topological view.

 Polling Status

 The NMS queries device status as well as other configuration data at


intervals, and then shows the status in the topological view. Possible
polling statuses are:

− Normal ,Unknown ,Offline ,Insignificant fault , Minor fault, Major


fault , Critical fault
