3 Using MPLS VPN Management
Overview
This chapter describes the MPLS L3VPN management features of MPLS VPN Management.
MPLS L3VPN supports various networking modes and has excellent scalability. However, MPLS L3VPN is
complicated to deploy and maintain, and only qualified engineers can design and deploy MPLS L3VPN
networks. To simplify MPLS L3VPN deployment and maintenance, MVM provides the following
functions:
• Automatic discovery of VPNs running on networks
MVM can automatically discover MPLS L3VPNs deployed on a network, and guide network
administrators to complete link configuration.
• VPN service deployment wizard
MPLS VPN Management provides a wizard to simplify VPN deployment. For example, you can
add an MPLS L3VPN site by following the SA wizard without needing to know the commands and
parameters.
• Visualized VPN services
VPN logically isolates services on a physical network. It is difficult to manage services on the VPN
network. MPLS VPN Management provides the VPN global topology, access topology, and
service topology. These topologies show the physical and logical connections of the whole MPLS
VPN network and the connections of each MPLS VPN.
• Visualized VPN traffic
MPLS VPN Management can monitor the inbound and outbound traffic of an MPLS L3VPN or of a
site access link (an SA). For an SA, MPLS VPN Management can monitor the bandwidth usage of
the inbound and outbound traffic. When the traffic exceeds the threshold, the system generates an
alarm. In addition, MPLS VPN Management can cooperate with NTA to allow network
administrators to view traffic information on topologies.
• Various VPN audit functions
MPLS VPN Management provides VPN configuration and connectivity audit functions. The
configuration audit can display the configuration changes on PE devices. The connectivity audit
can display the connectivity status of a VPN and display the positions of faults in a graph.
• Intelligent troubleshooting
MPLS VPN Management can automatically find the faults and causes for broken VPN links.
