Network requirements
Network requirements
The network interconnecting the 5620 SAM systems, network elements, and OSS
systems is of significant importance to the effective management of the network. The
following sections describe the requirements for the network links between 5620 SAM
workstations and the connection to the network being managed. Alcatel-Lucent
recommends that sufficient bandwidth be made available to the 5620 SAM workstations
within the Data Communication Network.
For SNMP management of Alcatel-Lucent network elements, all network segments that
carry SAM management traffic must allow the successful transmission of 9216 byte
SNMP packets. The
5620 SAM Troubleshooting Guide
contains more information on
packet fragmentation issues.
Be sure to include the tables with the bandwidth required for statistics collection in the
total bandwidth required between the 5620 SAM workstations, as they are in separate
tables.
The tables do not specify the underlying infrastructure required to support these
bandwidth requirements.
See
Chapter 8, “Deploying the 5620 SAM with multiple network interfaces/IP addresses”
for information on configuring the 5620 SAM workstations with multiple interfaces.
Connectivity to the network elements
Connectivity to the network elements
5620 SAM supports both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity to network elements. The following
network elements may be managed by 5620 SAM using IPv6:
•
7950
•
7750
•
7450
•
7710
•
7705
•
7210
•
eNodeB
•
9500 MPR
•
Multi Standard Enterprise and Home Cell Access Points
Cflowd flow data can only be retrieved from network elements with IPv4 connectivity.
