System Management
Overview
Use this document to configure, operate, and monitor system-level features in OcNOS. It provides detailed instructions and operational guidance on core system management modules such as DHCP snooping, SNMP, IP SLA, diagnostics (PRBS or DDM), access controls, configuration handling, and platform-level management services. The document combines examples with practical workflows for robust system operation in service provider environments.
Target Users
This document targets network operators, platform engineers, and system administrators responsible for managing OcNOS-based deployments. It assumes working knowledge of standard networking practices, CLI navigation, and basic system administration.
Key Capabilities
This document walks through system management configurations and tools across key areas:
• DHCP Snooping and IP Source Guard: Enforce trust boundaries for dynamic IP assignment, with MAC verification and Option 82 support.
• SNMP Management: Configure SNMP agents (v1, v2c, v3), define trap hosts, and support VRF-aware SNMP operations.
• IP SLA Monitoring: Define ICMP echo-based SLA probes for end-to-end performance validation.
• Object Tracking and Automation: Correlate SLA or interface states with network control logic using the track mechanism.
• Transceiver Diagnostics: Perform PRBS testing and monitor optical health via Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM).
• ARP ACLs and Access Control: Create filters to allow or deny specific ARP traffic types for additional L2 security.
• Configuration Management: Support for write or save, commits, unconfigure workflows, and port breakout reversal.
• Chassis and Fault Management: View alarms, CPU or DMM metrics, disk health, and diagnostic targets; configure NetConf call-home.
• SSH, AAA, and Syslog: Manage secure access, role-based authorization, and system-wide logging and audit trails.
