Fiber Driver® Network Management with Linux
Secure end-to-end network management
Overview
The EM316LNXNM-OT is the next generation Fiber Driver® network
management (NM) module from MRV Communications. With Linux-
based system software and an advanced hardware design, the Linux
NM incorporates many new features. It provides complete setup
and management control for the full range of Fiber Driver products;
it represents the ultimate in multi-service optical transport network
management.
The Linux Advantage
The Linux kernel brings the advantages of open source to network
administration. Security is a prime concern for IT managers, and the
management module provides a highly secure operating environment
with features such as SSH, SNMPv3, and RADIUS support. User access
policies allow multiple users access to the same equipment shelf
without compromising system security.
The EM316LNXNM-OT is also designed for extensibility. Future
module upgrades are installed easily through remote firmware and
programmable logic microcode downloads. In addition, many possible
add-on features may be found in the Linux Open Source community.
Management Features
Using public and MRV private management information base (MIB),
the EM316LNXNM-OT polls active Fiber Driver modules for critical
information such as MAC addresses, module types, and link status. It
enables loopback testing and allows configuration of parameters such
as the system IP parameters. The management module also monitors
operating temperature, power supply status, and fan status, and it fully
supports digital diagnostics for optical performance monitoring of
pluggable transceivers. Event traps may be set to trigger instant alerts
to potential problems to further reduce operating expences.
