reactively.
How does ProVision do this? ProVision informs the user of events and device failures in
a managed wireless radio network. By identifying events and failures for users, this
reduces the time between a fault occurring and the fault being repaired. It may even
allow a repair to be done before a link fails completely.
ProVision also obtains and stores data about the network devices, including:

Managing Data Over Time
Equipment status values such as RSL, temperature and voltages, and G.826 are only
meaningful if you can compare them to a previous, similar value. ProVision can track
these values over time and set thresholds when the values move outside specified
ranges.
Having the history of an alarm can add great value. ProVision lets you view all the
alarms from a single radio and sort the alarms by type, enabling you to determine what
is really happening. This is more significant than viewing one alarm out of context.
With ProVision, you can pre-deploy radios and store data
d ata about them without
Managing them. Radios start forwarding events to ProVision when their status is
changed to Managed.

AVIAT NETWORKS
PROVISION USER MANUAL
Using Perf
P erform
ormance
ance Analysis
ProVision can collect and save huge amounts of performance data from the radios. This
data is normally over-written in the radios. The data can be used to find patterns before
traffic is affected, and to diagnose problems if a radio fails.
ProVision can keep the daily data for all radios for a predefined time. This data can be
used to spot long term trends in radio performance, identify problem sites or radios.
Radios that are identified as critical or causing problems can also be monitored more
intensely using 15-minute data collection, which can be used to find problems that are
occurring now. This data can also be kept in the ProVision database indefinitely.
Performance data can provide information in many ways. If a radio is having performance trouble, checking the performance data from nearby links or co-sited links can
help to identify if the problem is due to non-equipment problems such as rain fade, local
interference, site power problems, or other reasons. ProVision can be used to display performance data from a number of radios at the same time to assist with this, or for a
single radio over
over t ime.
Real value can be gained from ProVision when a radio has failed. Looking at historical
performance data and events from a failed radio can help determine; what end of the
link has failed and what type of failure it may be. The data stored in ProVision for the
failed radio is available even when communication to the link has been lost.

Icons Information and Usage
Both the Physical Viewer and the Map Viewer show the current status of each network
element, with icons representing the highest severity event that has been detected for
the device. Color and other graphic cues show the status of the objects/network elements. This alerts you to changes in device status.
To identify potential problems, ProVision propagates the alarm state of objects upwards
through each object, and its parent objects change color as well. A parent object’s color
reflects the most severe alarm on any of its children.

Chapter 4. Deploying and
Managing Devices
You can deploy and manage devices in a network using
usin g ProVision.
Deploying a device provides ProVision with details about a real device in the network.
Managing a device activates ProVision to communicate with the device and show the
device status.
A device is any SNM
SNMP
P enabled object that ProVision can
ca n communicate with, for
example, a Aviat Networks radio, a DXR SMA or a non-Aviat Networks radio.
This section is written for the NOC operator. It is assumed that ProVision is already
installed and managing the network. It describes the workflow and procedures to
deploy, link, and manage devices in ProVision.

TRuepoint Device Deployment
To deploy a TRuepoint device in ProVision, it must be deployed, then configured using
the Configuration Profiles function. TRuepoint devices must communicate with a ProVi-
sion trap and a ProVision SNMP manager to send data to ProVision.
The procedure below is an overview of the required process. It describes how to deploy
the following TRuepoint devices: 6400, 5000, 2+0, 4040, 4040/2, and 4000. See also

A TNet
TNet Proxy is a dedicated Windows NT Server connected to the ProVision serve

LAN. The TNet Proxies communicate with ProVision using SNMP.
TNet Proxies communicate with managed TNet devices through a serial interface, either
directly or through a terminal server. A TNet Proxy converts SNMP requests from ProVision to the TNet protocol to communicate with the TNet devices.
This is an overview of how ProVision interacts with the TNet Proxies and the TNet

sends events to ProVision. In certain situations you may not want to monitor one or
more devices on the network. For example, a device might be installed in a remote location where a concert is held on an annual basis. During the concert you would manage
the device in ProVision, and for the remainder of the year you would leave the device in
an un-managed state.

Linking
Procedures
ProVision can discover and create links between certain devices. A Radio Frequency (RF)
link is added between devices in ProVision to show that the devices are carrying communications traffic. An Ethernet link shows that the devices are carrying Ethernetenabled traffic. You can only create a link between Aviat Networks devices of the same
type, for example, one Eclipse radio to another Eclipse radio, or one CTR 8540 router to
another CTR 8540 router.
To create an RF or Ethernet link between two devices, the radios must be deployed in
ProVision.
By creating a link between two devices in ProVision, you are able to see the complete
link, viewing both ends. In the Map Viewer or submap, the highest severity event from
either radio is reflected in the color of the link. For more information see Alarm Severity

The following is an overview of the individual steps that make up the software download procedure.
1. Bring the new version of device software into the ProVision Server software
register.
2. Identify the number of download tasks needed in order to upgrade the network. A
software download task refers to the number of devices to be grouped together for a
download.
3. Create and initiate a software download task, by selecting the device type, the software version, and the radios to be loaded.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for other software download tasks. Subsequent tasks begin as
soon as the previous task completes loading. The ProVision Task Manager can be
used to simultaneously activate software across tasks.
Two software loading examples are shown, for Eclipse radios.

This first example divides the network into levels and loads the Eclipse software to each
level as a single task. The first such task would be to load the software to the radios at

For Eclipse devices with Strong Security enabled, to enable ProVision to load
software updates, you need an active SNMPv3 user account for the devices, set
up with the Crypto access level. An Eclipse SNMPv3 user account can be set
up from the Portal craft tool, or set up from ProVision via the Configuration

The VLAN traffic data is identified and separated by Ethernet frame tagging. Ethernet
frames ingressing a VLAN port have a VLAN tag inserted that includes the VLAN ID
and a priority/class setting. Switches within the network use the VLAN ID tag to maintain VLAN membership/segregation over common trunk links. VLANs are software-configured; they are not constrained by the physical topology of a network.

Viewing Discovered VLANs
Using ProVision, it is fast and easy to view your network VLANs. ProVision automatically discovers and displays all VLANs in the network in the VLAN Tab, including
the end-to-end topology for each VLAN. The VLAN Table provides a list of the dis-
covered VLANs. From the VLAN Tab, you can also view an end-to-end topology map or
the configuration
configuration details of a sele
selected
cted VLAN.
ProVision continually checks for new VLANS and VLAN configuration changes. VLAN
information is persisted in the database to retain VLAN view access during loss of communication with managed devices.
To support VLAN end-to-end discovery, ProVision must identify the underlying Layer 1

Viewing Discovered EOAM MAs
ProVision makes it simple to visualize your network services and the route / path they
are currently taking across the network. ProVision automatically discovers and displays
all EOAM monitored VLAN services in the network in the EOAM Tab, including automatically and proactively tracing the end-to-end route of dynamic services. The EOAM
Table provides a list of the discovered Maintenance Associations (MA), either 802.1ag
MA or Y.1731 MEG / ME. From the EOAM Tab you can also view logical representation
of the ports in the end-to-end topology of each MA, or view the same MA overlaid on
your physical
phy sical network flat-map.
flat -map. For each MA you can choose to launch diagnostics
diagnost ics to
perform manual link-trace or loop-back tests.
ProVision continually checks for new EOAM MAs and topology changes that affect the
routing of existing MAs, and automatically performs end-to-end link trace tests (in both
directions) to validate connectivity and (in the case of a fault) to isolate faults to a port.
EOAM information is persisted in the database to retain EOAM view access during loss

the data world mesh topology is also very popular.
ERP
The main purpose of ERP is to provide fast recovery from failure (sub 50ms) and remove
loops in layer-2 networks. ERP eliminates the loops in the network by selecting a Ring
Protection Link (RPL), a Ring Protection Link Owner (RPL), and a protocol that allows
it to indicate and react to failures on the other nodes or links in the ring. With ERP configured, under normal conditions the RPL is blocked. When a link failure is detected the
RPL is unblocked, healing the ring. ERP rings can be revertive or non-revertive.
