Xedge 6000 for MSPx Applications

Xedge 6000 for Multiservice Packet Exchange applications (MSPx) employs Xedge packet controllers to provide any service over any transport. GDC’s family of Xedge packet controllconsist of the Xedge PCX/PCX2, Xedge PCE, Xedge ISG2 and Xedge PCL.

Xedge switches equipped with packet controllers can provide a multiservice transport networa variety of backbone facilities (Ethernet, IP, SONET, SDH, ATM, VLAN, MPLS, VPLS). Thtype of network enables Metro Ethernet Forum compliant Ethernet services on the same coeffective and reliable platform that offers transport of services such as TDM, IP and ATM.

The MSPX Advantage

GDC’S Xedge 6000 multiservice switches meet the most rigorous of reliability and performarequirements. The Xedge 6000 platform for multiservice packet exchange applications can rnetwork provider costs for both operational expenses and capital expenses, as well as meethe challenges in migrating mission critical networks (Figure 0-2).

Xedge 6000 switches allow Ethernet subscriber traffic to be provisioned for transport, and usetransport legacy TDM or ATM services transparently across the packet network without pertuapplication performance. This has the effect of collapsing several network layers into one lathus reducing the number of network elements and controlling network operating costs. Xedserve as an aggregation gateway supporting multiple legacy protocols, thereby simplifying nemanagement. Xedge 6000 also future proofs the migration of mission critical networks by providing high bandwidth aggregation of diverse interfaces.

Xedge LIM OverviewXedge 6000 controllers use Line Interface Modules (LIMs) to interface to the network physiclayer. The LIM types vary depending upon the environment, application and the line connectuse (T1, E1, OC3, etc.). All Xedge LIMs are the same size and form, and plug into universaat the rear of an Xedge chassis. Xedge cell and adaptation controllers support one LIM slotwidth packet controllers support two LIM slots (LIM1 and LIM2).

Switch ManagementXedge 6000 supports the standard Simple Network Management Protocol Management Information Base II (SNMP MIB II) group, and a series of Enterprise MIB extensions for totamanagement and control of the switch via the SNMP interface. A series of SNMP Traps aresupported to ensure that events happening inside the Xedge network are reported to the exmanagement station. The Xedge switch is managed via an SNMP terminal (craft port or Telconnection to the installed slot controllers. The switch can also be managed via the ProSphNetwork Management System.

Xedge Terminal Interface

All Xedge configuration and status functions can be executed from the Xedge terminal interroot menu, shown below. Menu options listed at the bottom of the screen are selected by typbold, capital letter in the option. Submenus and screen use numbers and letters that correspthe available functions or parameters for the particular device. The next page shows an overvthe terminal interface and a sample MIB Display and Management screen.

ProSphere NMS Interface

An Xedge 6000 network can be managed from one or more designated control centers by mthe ProSphere Network Management System (NMS). ProSphere is a suite of application toocollectively provide a total network management solution. ProSphere provides ConfigurationFault, Accounting, Performance, and Security management modules. The ProSphere NMS ean intuitive graphical user interfaces (GUI) to simplify the tasks of configuring and managingXedge MSPx network.

The ProSphere NMS is designed to set up, control and monitor all aspects of an Xedge nodealso capture the critical network performance data that allows network operators to view stattrends relevant to specific measurements in the Xedge network. This automated tool set cacustomized for optimal performance monitoring suited to multiservice network configurationProSphere’s centralized and scalable management scheme can support small to very largevendor networks. The largest and most complex networks can be partitioned into sub-netwodomains, each with its own management. ProSphere NMS features include:

• Distributed, Object-Oriented, scalable architecture.

• Java-based applications, i.e., platform independent (except RTM)

• Supports PC/Windows platforms

• Client / Server model allows multiple clients to remotely access the ProSphere Se

• Advanced, user-friendly GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces)

Major Components

• User Management controls user names/passwords and user access to ProSphere appli

• File Management allows for the updating or backup of ProSphere system files.

• Topology Management performs Auto-Discovery of the Xedge network, maintains netwotopology, and displays a topology map of nodes, cards, links and connections.

• Alarm Management (GFM) polls configured devices for alarm states and provides an alareporting system for the Xedge network.

• Element Manager (XEM) allows the addition and configuration of network objects, proviTelnet service to nodes, and provides a mechanism for exporting the topology.

• Service Provisioning Manager (SPM) allows the creation of multi-service circuits (PVCs SPVCs) across a network, using a map-based GUI.

• Routing Manager (RTM) generates and manages static routing tables when there are SSPVCs in the Xedge network. RTM is an integral, platform independent component of ProSphere NMS Version 5.3.1 and later.

• Xedge Performance Manager (XPM) is designed for wide area networks to aid network tadministrators, and inventory managers in the proper utilization and allocation of resourcoptimal network performance. XPM collects diverse statistical information and generatesreal-time and historical trends into graphical displays and automated reports.

Note RTM is only required when you use SVCs or SPVCs in your network.

Security SolutionsThe Xedge/ProSphere systems employ multi-layered security features such as: physical seoperating system security, secured ProSphere installation, access/availability protection, usauthentication, management security, system availability protection, alarm handling, performmonitoring, audit trails and logging, and redundancy.

Physical Security Features

The relay contacts on the Xedge 6160, 6280, 6640 and 6645 switch chassis connect to user-pexternal alarm equipment, such as entry door sensors or environmental sensors.

Craft port locks on the Xedge 6640 or 6645 chassis has a 2-position key that enables/ disablport access to the main slot 0 controller. A separate key enables/ disables craft port accessstandby slot 0 controller.

Operating System Security

Xedge (XOS) and ProSphere (NMS) operating systems, including open source componentsbacked by General DataCommís continuing development and comprehensive support organizations. Features added to new patches/versions of the XOS and NMS operating syskeep operating systems current as required by the network application. Email notification feensure that system administrators are informed of new releases in a timely manner.

Secured ProSphere Installations

For mission critical networks, ProSphere NMS can be securely installed on a Windows worksthat has been security hardened by the System Administrator with an appropriate hardware that suits the networkís security requirements. Once installed, ProSphere can then be configuheighten security by setting all of the application, user, and security preferences as recommin the Xedge/ProSphere Security Administration Guide (GDC P/N 032R298-000).

Access & Availability Protection

For non-secured installations, communication between Xedge MSPx nodes and ProSphereaccomplished using standard protocols such as FTP, TFTP, SNMPv1 and Telnet.

For secure installations, communication between Xedge MSPx nodes and ProSphere is accomplished using the following security protocols:

• SCP (Secure Copy) is used in place of FTP and TFTP to transfer files.

• SSH (Secure Shell version 2) is used in place of Telnet to access the Xedge node

• SNMPv3 is used in place of SNMPv1 to set and read variables within the nodes.

User Authentication

• User-configurable strong multi-level password enforcement.

• Xedge encrypts all stored passwords.

• ProSphere encryption keys (used to provide encrypted access to the database) are resta single server. All exchanges of keys are encrypted.

• User configurable password expiration for password access to database and ProSphere

Management Security

User configurable inactivity timer automatically logs out the user, closes ProSphere Exploreterminates the ProSphere management session when the idle time limit has been reached.

System Availability Protection

• Scheduler, priority queues, and other traffic management features of the Xedge system.

• Flow Control is not allowed on any Xedge interface, thereby preventing Flow Control paframes and the possibility of their stopping the transmission of data packets.

• Voice traffic priority features.

Alarm Handling

The slot-0 controller employs an Alarm Handler to process node, slot, and link alarms accorddefault or user-defined alarm classifications and configuration. Detected alarms are processimmediately by Alarm Handler unless inhibited by the user. The alarm classification (Major, Mor Informational) determines how the alarm is handled throughout the system.

Performance Monitoring

ProSphereís Xedge Performance Monitoring (XPM) allows operators to gather statistical datif necessary, to proactively intervene in network operations based on performance trends. Xemploys SNMP polling of the Object Identifiers (OIDs) associated with the measurement of statistically significant Xedge parameters. ProSphere XPM collects and displays two types ostatistical data:

• Error Statistics (physical/logical)

• Utilization Statistics (physical/logical)

Audit Trails & Logging

Xedge switches enable logging by default and puts a visible date/time stamp on each systemmessage logged in the system logging process.

Audit Trail and Logging of all access and application events for restricted monitoring by administrative users to assist in diagnostics, forensics, recovery and detection of misuse/int

Redundancy

AWG American Wire Gauge is a U.S. standard set of non-ferrous wire conductsizes. The "gauge" means the diameter. Non-ferrous includes copper andaluminum and other materials, but is most frequently applied to copper household electrical wiring and telephone wiring. Typical household wiringAWG number 12 or 14. Telephone wire is usually 22, 24, or 26. The highergauge number, the smaller the diameter and the thinner the wire. Since thwire carries more current because it has less electrical resistance over a length, thicker wire is better for longer distances. For this reason, where extended distance is critical, a company installing a network might prefertelephone wire with the lower-gauge, thicker wire of AWG 24 to AWG 26.AWG is sometimes known as Brown and Sharpe (B&S) Wire Gauge.

Collision In an Ethernet network, a collision is the result of two devices on the samEthernet network attempting to transmit data at exactly the same time. Thnetwork detects the "collision" of the two transmitted packets and discardthem both. Collisions are a natural occurrence on Ethernets. Ethernet usCarrier Sense Multiple Access/ Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) as its methodallowing devices to "take turns" using the signal carrier line. When a deviwants to transmit, it checks the signal level of the line to determine whethsomeone else is already using it. If it is already in use, the device waits aretries, perhaps in a few seconds. If it isn't in use, the device transmits. However, two devices can transmit at the same time in which case a collioccurs and both devices detect it. Each device then waits a random amoutime and retries until successful in getting the transmission sent.

CRC Cyclic Redundancy Check CRC Cyclic Redundancy Check -- A form of ecorrection in which the block check character is the remainder after dividithe serialized bits in a transmission block by a predetermined binary numA CRC performs a mathematical calculation on a block of data and returnnumber that represents the content and organization of that data. The idehave the CRC return a number that uniquely identifies the data. You can tof CRC as being the operation that generates a "fingerprint" for a block of dThe actual number, or fingerprint, that is used to identify the data is calledchecksum. The CRC is a very powerful but easily implemented techniqueobtain data reliability. The CRC technique is used to protect blocks of datcalled Frames. Using this technique, the transmitter appends an extra n- sequence to every frame called Frame Check Sequence (FCS). The FCSredundant information about the frame that helps the transmitter detect ein the frame. The CRC is one of the most used techniques for error detecin data communications.
