SDP Form

The SDP form provides details of the SDP that logically directs the traffic from one source to destination through a unidirectional service tunnel.

Basic Attributes
Attribute Description
SDP ID The unique identifier of the selected SDP.
Source Node The selected SDP starts from this node.Click (the Lookup icon) to view more information about the Source Node.
Destination Node

Name of the destination node of the selected SDP. Click (the Lookup icon) to view more information about the Destination Node.

Status Displays the status of the selected SDP.
Management Mode

The NNM iSPI for MPLS supports management of SDPs. Possible values are:

  • Managed – The selected SDP is managed.
  • Not Managed – The selected SDP is not managed.
  • Out of Service – A node is unavailable because it is out of service. NNMi does not update discovery information or monitor these nodes. This attribute is useful for notifying NNMi when a device is temporarily out of service.

Note Out of Service is an NNMi supported mode. The NNM iSPI for MPLS does not allow users to store 'Out of Service' value from the Management Mode list

For more information, see the Help for NNMi; View the Management Mode for an Object in Your Network.

Management Type

Inheritance type for the selected SDP. An MPLS object inherits management mode of its container object. Management Type displays the type of container object from which the selected SDP has inherited the Management Mode. Possible values are:

  • Node Inherited - The selected SDP inherits management mode from a node.
  • Self - The selected SDP is Not Managed but it belongs to a Managed node, participating in a Managed VPLS.

Note You cannot change Management Type of an Not Managed SDP to Self if it is VPLS Inherited.

  • Regional Inherited- One of the SDP belonging to a VPLS at Regional level is Not Managed. In addition, these SDPs are not affected by management changes made at the Global level. 

Note 'Regional Inherited' type is only applicable for a Global Manager. This is because a SDP Not Managed in a regional manager has a direct effect on the Global Manager. However, any VPLS managed/not managed at Global level will not affect a SDP that is 'Regional Inherited' .

Delivery Type Name of the delivery type for the selected SDP.
Number of Services

The number of services associated with the SDP.

Create Time Date and time on which the selected SDP was created.
Status Last Modified Status Last Modified shows the date and time on which the status for the selected SDP was last set.

Information shown for SDP form is same as that in SDP Inventory. For more information, see SDP Inventory.

SDP Form: SDPBinds Tab

The SDP form provides details of the SDP that logically directs the traffic from one source to destination through a unidirectional service tunnel. You can use the SDPBinds tab to view the SDP details.

SDPBinds table

Attribute Description
Status

Overall status for the current SDPBind. Possible values are:

No Status - The status of a SDPBind is 'No Status' when:

  • The SDPBind is newly created and not polled.
  • When a SDPBind is not mapped to any interface and hence, not polled.

Normal - The status of the SDPBind is Up.

Unknown - The SDPBind is not reachable or not responding.

Critical - The status of the SDPBind is Down.

Service Id The Service Id number for the selected SDPBind.
Service Type The Service Type for the selected SDPBind.
Bind Type The Bind type for the selected SDPBind.
Delivery Type The delivery type for the selected SDPBind
Service Name Name of the service.
Destination Node Name of the destination node for the selected SDP.
SDP ID The unique identifier for the selected SDP.
Management Mode

Management mode of the selected SDPBind. Possible values are:

Managed - The selected SDPBind is managed.

Not Managed - The selected SDPBind is not managed.

Analysis Pane:

The Analysis Pane for SDPBinds Tab is same as available in the SDPBinds form. For more information, see SDPBind Form.

Status Tab

The SDP form provides details of the SDP that logically directs the traffic from one source to destination through a unidirectional service tunnel. You can use the Status tab to view the status summary of the selected SDP.

Overall Status Table
Attribute Description
Status

Overall status for the current SDP. Possible values are:

No Status - The status of a SDP is 'No Status' when:

  • The SDP is newly created and not polled.
  • When a SDP is not mapped to any interface and hence, not polled.

Normal - The status of the SDP is Up.

Unknown - The SDP is not reachable or not responding.

Critical - The status of the SDP is Down.

Last Modified Date and time on which the status was last set.

Status History

Attribute Description
Status

List of last thirty status updates for the selected SDP. For more information, see NNMi Status tab.

Time Stamp Time when the selected SDP was last modified.

Analysis Pane:

Analysis Pane is not implemented for the Status tab.

Conclusions Tab

The SDP form provides details of the SDP that logically directs the traffic from one source to destination through a unidirectional service tunnel. The Conclusions tab shows the results of the overall derived status. You can view a quick summary of the status and problem description for the selected SDP.

Conclusions Table
Attribute Description
Status

The status of the selected SDP is dependent on the status of the interface on the selected SDP. For more information, see SDP Form: Status Tab.

Time Stamp The Time Stamp data is the time when the status of the SDP is last set.
Conclusions

The conclusion is set by the Causal Engine after the status calculation. Possible conclusions are:

  • MplsSdpNoStatus
  • MplsSdpDown
  • MplsSdpUp
  • MPLSSdpUnkown

Example: The conclusion MplsSdpDown sends an MplsSdpDown incident

Analysis Pane:

Analysis Pane is not implemented for the Conclusions tab.

Incidents Tab

The SDP form provides details of the SDP that logically directs the traffic from one source to destination through a unidirectional service tunnel. The Incidents tab is useful for obtaining a quick summary of the incident and problem description for the SDP.

Incidents table:

Attribute Description
Incidents Attributes

The attributes listed in the incidents tab are same as available in NNMi Incidents form. Click (the Open icon) to view the details of the incident. The left pane shows the basic information such as Severity, Priority, Message, and so on. The right pane shows details of the incident such as name, family and so on.

For more information, see the Help for NNMi Incidents Form.

Analysis Pane:

Information shown in the Analysis Pane of Incidents tab is inherited from the Network Node Manager i-Software (NNMi). For more information, see About the Analysis Pane in NNMi Online Help.

Registration Tab

The SDP form provides details of the SDP that logically directs the traffic from onesource to destination through a unidirectional service tunnel. Registration tab shows details about when a selected SDP was created and when the status was last modified.

Registration Table
Attribute Description
Create Time

Date and time on which the selected SDP was created.

Status Last Modified Status Last Modified shows the date and time on which the status of the selected SDP was last modified.

Analysis Pane

Analysis Pane is not implemented for the Registration tab.
