摘要： A framework for connectivity verification is provided. The framework includes a connectivity verification server performing unattended connectivity verification, and a connectivity verification application, both the connectivity verification server and connectivity verification application operating in a network management context. Connectivity verification jobs are defined via the connectivity verification application and the connectivity verification server is configured accordingly. Connectivity verification jobs can also be scheduled. The connectivity verification application also provides a display of connectivity verification results. The results of each connectivity verification job may be compared against a desired connectivity profile and deviations from the connectivity profile being used to raise alarms. Connectivity verification results, including alarm information, are further used to highlight displayed managed communications network entities on a network map displaying selected connectivity verification results. The advantages are derived from using the connectivity verification framework to automate connectivity verification testing at reduced operational costs.

摘要： A managed entity view framework and methods for obtaining configuration information, diagnostic information, and statistic information in support of operations management actions is presented. The method includes validating a managed entity viewing script template for execution on a target managed entity, retrieving target managed entity specific template parameter values, populating the managed entity viewing script template to derive a managed entity viewing script therefrom, and submitting the script for execution on the target managed entity. Advantages are derived from a reduced need to model, and maintain models of, managed communications network entities, therefore reducing the need update managed communications network entity model data including managed communications network entity information. Instead managed entity viewing scripts are used to retrieve current information from corresponding target managed communications network entities whenever required. Advantages are also derived from reducing the need for extensive operations management personnel training providing ease and speed in selecting CLI commands scripts to obtain information without manually logging in on target management entities. Further advantages are derived from provides an improved information collection means for diagnosis. Upon receiving a trap at the NMS from a managed communications network entity, trap-directed managed entity viewing scripts are autonomously submitted for execution on the managed communications network entity to collect information for problem isolation and eventual resolution. These benefits lead to reduced operations management costs for service providers managing communications networks.

摘要： A CLI command script template management system, tool, and human machine interface for script-based configuration management, service provisioning, operations and maintenance is provided. The system includes a CLI command dictionary repository, and means for loading a CLI command dictionary at run-time. Methods provide for obtaining a CLI command specification compatible with the CLI command set version currently deployed on the managed entity. The managed entity's help functionality is invoked and the output is captured and parsed to discover the CLI commands set currently deployed on the managed entity. Advantages are derived from enabling operations management personnel to create CLI script templates easily for any active managed entity deployed in a managed communications network, based on the vendor and model specific network node CLI command set software release currently installed thereon.
