4 Topology Management Operator Guide

4.1 Terminologies Related to Topology Management
4.1.1 Topology View
Meaning
The topology view is the mapping of the communication network (managed through the
M2000 system) on the M2000. The topology view shows the equipment and the connection
between the equipment in the form of view and tree. It also provides entry points for the
operations related to the configuration, alarm, and performance management through the
client.
The M2000 topology view consists of two parts: tree and view.
! The navigation tree on the left shows all the involved topology objects, such as NEs,
subnets, and the hierarchical architecture between these objects.
! The topology view on the right shows all the topology objects in the current network and
the location-related relationship between these objects.
The system synchronizes the navigation tree and the topology view automatically.

Examples
The displayed window after you log in the M2000 client is a topology view.

4.1.2 Network Elements
Meaning
Topology management uses NEs to identify the communication equipment in the network.
! Physical NE
Physical NEs are the communication devices that can be managed by the M2000.
! Virtual NE
The third-party communication equipment in the entire communication network. The
M2000 cannot manage the equipment. Virtual NEs help complete the structure of the
communication network.
In the topology view, the physical NE and virtual NE are distinguished by different icon
colors. For example, the physical NE HLR is displayed as in the topology view, while
the virtual NE HLR is displayed as .

The equipment type corresponds to the NE type. The NE types are identified by different icons. You can
view the icons by clicking the Legend tab in the left of the window.

Examples
Some examples of NEs are as follows:


M2000

! Huawei BTS3812A sets up a physical connection with the M2000; thus it is a physical
NE.
! The third-party equipment MOTOROLA HLR is a virtual NE.
! The M2000 itself is a special NE. The M2000 is displayed as OMC in the topology view.

4.1.3 Subnets
Meaning
To manage NEs more efficiently, the huge M2000 network can be divided into several smaller
networks based on certain principles, such as by region. These smaller networks are called
subnets in the topology.

Examples
An example of subnets is as follows:
If the M2000 can manage all the NEs in the provinces A, B and C, these NEs can be divided
into three subnets by region (herein province).
The three subnets can also be divided into smaller subnets by city or county. In other words, a
subnet can be nested in another subnet.

4.1.4 Group NEs
Meaning
Some NEs in the communication network form a certain hierarchical architecture. The Group
NE is an NE that works as both an NE and a subnet.

Examples
Some examples of group NEs are as follows:
! An RNC is a group NE. It manages NodeB NEs.
! An MSC Server is a group NE. It manages MGW NEs.

4.1.5 Links
Meaning
The topology view uses links to identify the physical or logical connections between the
communication equipment. There are two types of links, physical and virtual, as shown in
Table 4-1.


M2000

Table 4-1 Descriptions of two link types

Link Description
type

Physical It refers to the signaling connections between two physical NEs.
link M2000 supports six types of physical links: MTP3, MTP3B, DATALINK,
M3UA, H248, and BICCSCTP.
MTP3 MTP3 and MTP3B can only be created manually.
! The NE at one side of the link must be a physical MGW.
MTP3B ! The NE at the other side of the link can be a physical MSC
Server, or a virtual RNC or MSC Server.
DATALINK These three types are created by the system automatically.
! DATALINK links can be created between a physical CG and
M3UA a physical GGSN80 or SGSN.
! H248 and M3UA links can only be created between a
H248
physical MGW and MSC Server.
BICCSCTP ! BICCSCTP links can only be created between a physical
MSC Server.
Virtual ! Virtual link refers to the logical communication connections between two
link NEs.
! Virtual links can only be created manually. You can modify or delete virtual
links.

Examples
Some examples of the links are as follows:
! The links between physical MGW and virtual MSC Server are physical links created by
the manually.
! The links between virtual MSC Server and virtual HLR are virtual links created
manually.

4.1.6 Topology Objects
Meaning
NEs, subnets, and group NEs are topology objects.

Examples
Some examples of topology objects are as follows:
! Huawei communication equipment BTS3812 that communicates with the M2000 is a
topological object.
! The manually created virtual link is a topological object.
! The manually created subnet C is a topological object.
