Access topology and service topology
Access topology
Access topology includes global topology and VPN Access Toplogy. Network structures of all VPN
resources including all the PEs, Ces, and AS Core can be displayed in global topology. VPN
access topology displays network structures of all VPNresources. After the NTA is installed, the
access topology also allows you to monitor the traffic on access links, PE devices, and VPNs, and
view the monitored traffic information.
Global topology
Network structures of all VPN resources can be viewed in global topology. The following two
functions are available in global topology:
•
Link management
◦
Modify an interface: Modify interfaces connected to the Core.
◦
Query VPN link information: Query link information in a VPN.
◦
Deploy link: Deploy SA link to the specified PE and deploy the VPN configurations to the
device.
◦
Remove deployment: Remove any deployed SA link in the network.
◦
Remove links: Remove any SA link in the network.
◦
Remove invalid links: Remove a single or all invalid links in VPN.
•
Device management
◦
Open WEB network management of a device: Open WEB network management in a
new window.
◦
Synchronize MPLS VPN configuration: Synchronize MPLS VPN configuration on the device
to MVM.
◦
Query device information: Query detailed information of a device.
◦
Ping device: Perform ping operation to test whether a device is reachable, thus checking
connectivity between MVM and the device.
◦
Telnet device: Telnet a device to manage it.
◦
Traceroute device: Perform traceroute operation on a device to view all the routes an IP
packet passes from the source host to the destination. You can view all the routes from
the server to the device in MVM.
◦
Remove device from VPN: Remove a device from MVM, but the device still exists in the
platform.
◦
Query configuration changes: Query VRF configuration changes in a VPN.
◦
P2P Ping: Check the connectivity between two devices.
Service topology
Service topology displays CEs(including managed CEs and non-managed CEs) and inter-CE links
in a VPN. Through Service Topology, logical structure of all VPN links in a VPN can be displayed
directly. After the NTA is installed, the service topology also allows you to monitor the traffic on
VPNs, and view the monitored traffic information.
