A Service Ports Description
A.1 Background This section describes the service ports used by management systems. To ensure the network security, you can take measures on the customer's network. The following are the two cases that affect the network security: l
Security filtering settings such as routers or firewalls are configured in the network environment where the NMS runs. When carrying out the project, avoid the service ports used by the NMS being filtered by those security filtering settings.
l
Some service ports providing system services are closed to prevent network or virus attacks. Note that the service ports used by the NMS should not be closed, and otherwise the NMS will not run properly.
A.2 Notes and Precautions In the practical communication process, the source (the server) and the sink (the client) use relevant ports. Usually you only need to specify the source port, and the sink port is dynamically created. Note the following during the project implementation: l
The service ports used by the NMS should not be closed.
l
If there are routers or firewalls between the source and the sink, then check all ports used by the source and the sink to make sure that they can be opened, and the source can communicate with the sink.

A Alarm hold-off time
Alarm delay includes start delay and end delay. An alarm is not regarded as being generated until the NE has been detecting it for a period of time, and this period of time is the alarm start hold-off time. An alarm is not regarded as being cleared until the NE has been detecting the ending of it for a period of time, and this period of time is the alarm end hold-off time. Setting the hold-off time can avoid the generation of unnecessary alarms due to misreport or jitter.
Alarm severity
According to ITU-T recommendations, the alarm is classified into four severities: Critical, Major, Minor, Warning.
Alarm
A visible or an audible indication to notify the person concerned that a failure or an emergency has occurred. See also Event.

D DCC
Within an STM-N signal there are two DCC channels, one is the 192 kbit/s DCC-R channel composed of bytes D1–D3, and the other is the 576 kbit/s DCC-M channel composed of bytes D4–D12. All NEs can communicate with one another through the DCC-R. The DCC-M is not the regenerator section overhead and does not support communications among regenerators, and it is used to support communication channels of more universal purpose. For example, it supports TMN as a physical channel of ECC.
E ECC
Embedded Control Channel. An ECC provides a logical operations channel between SDH NEs, utilizing a data communications channel (DCC) as its physical layer.
F Failure
The fault cause persisted long enough to consider the ability of an item to perform a required function to be terminated. The item may be considered as failed; a fault has now been detected.
Fault
A fault is the inability of a function to perform a required action. This does not include an inability due to preventive maintenance, lack of external resources, or planned actions.
H History alarms
Alarms that have cleared and been acknowledged.
History performance data

Route
The IP route selection is in table driving mode. In each host and each router of the Internet, there is a routing table that contains information about how the service is transmitted from the source to the sink, providing a basis for route selection. Ethernet static routing in ET1 refers to the mapping relationship between the Ethernet port and the bound path. Its routing type includes port routing and VLAN routing. Port routing: It means configuring a route between the Ethernet port and the bound path port, which is usually used for point-to-point networking communication; VLAN routing: It means configuring a route between the Ethernet port and the bound path port based on the VLAN service. It can be used flexibly in point-topoint, point-to-multipoint or multipoint-tomultipoint communication. The implementation is to divide and converge the data stream according to the VLAN flag of the packet. As a VLAN flag can be added to the Ethernet port, the equipment can be applied more flexibly.
