MPLS management includes an overview, quick start instructions, typical application, and using
MPLS management.
MPLS management overview
System overview
iMC MPLS Management provides a comprehensive MPLS network management solution for
metropolitan area networks. It can cooperate with H3C devices to manage MPLS networks. MPLS
Management provides various functions, including device management, LDP management, LSP
management, topology management, label statistics, and LSP traffic statistics.
MPLS management is developed based on the Intelligent Management Center (iMC) platform. It
adopts the B/S structure. Operators can manage and monitor MPLS networks anytime anywhere
from the local area network or Internet by using a browser, without having to install any client.
Functions
•
Device management
Allows operators to import devices from the the iMC platform to the MPLS management
component, to configure device LSR IDs, and to enable MPLS/MPLS LDP for devices and
interfaces. Provides batch operations to facilitate device and interface management.
•
LDP management
Allows operators to manually create remote LDP peers, and view session information between
peers. In addition, the system can automatically discover local peers.
•
LSP management
Allows operators to manually add static LSPs on the topology, deploy, undeploy, delete, and
audit LSPs. The system can also automatically add static LSPs and automatically discover LSPs.
•
Topology management
Displays the MPLS global network topology, displays LSPs between devices, and highlights
LSPs.
•
Label statistics
Collects device label usage statistics, and displays the top 5 devices with the highest
dynamic/static label usage percentages in charts.
•
LSP traffic statistics
Collects and displays LSP traffic statistics, allows operators to set LSP traffic thresholds, and
generates outgoing traffic statistics reports from multiple perspectives.
Getting started with MPLS management
If you are using the MPLS management component for the first time, perform the following operations
in order:
1. Import devices.
2. Create LDP peers.
3. Create LSPs.
4. View LSP traffic statistics.
