topology in real time. You can further use the VPN connectivity audit function to verify your
deployment.
•
VPN device management—To manage a VPN in MVM, administrators must first import to
MVM all devices that the VPN contains. MVM then displays the VPN topology based on the
devices. The VPN devices can be classified into PEs and CEs.
•
Auto discovery—MVM detects the entire VPN network through auto discovery, which requires
no manual intervention.
•
VPN topology—MVM offers the global topology, access topologies, and service topologies
for network monitoring. The global topology displays the physical network layout and operation
status. An access topology displays the running status of a VPN. A service topology displays
inter-CE links and their connectivity. In addition, MVM offers the topology audit function.
•
Alarm TopN—MVM displays the top N VPNs, PEs, and CEs sorted by descending order of
the alarm level. You can obtain the latest status of VPNs and devices and take necessary
actions.
•
Traffic monitoring—MVM enables you to monitor VPN traffic for a network in real time and
to view history statistics. Based on the history data, you can understand the performance trends
for the entire VPN network, basic network operation status, and performance status, identify
performance bottlenecks, and adjust and optimize the network.
•
Usage summary—To take a quick look at the MVM operation process, refer to User Guide.
•
FAQ—For any questions encountered in using MVM, refer to FAQ.

Basic concepts of MPLS and VPN manager
Basic concepts include typical network environments, managed objects and their relationships for
MVM.
Typical networking
MVM can manage most of the typical networkings of BGP/MPLS VPN as the following:
Example 1:
If you do not need to manage CEs, you can connect MVM to the P or PE of a VPN in this networking
scheme. You can access MVM through a LAN or the Internet. MVM manages PEs only, and the
iMC platform can manage Ps and PEs.
