FOXMAN-UN architecture
General
The key to the deployment of FOXMAN-UN is its architecture, which is designed with distributed management in mind. It is based on a modern hardware platform and object oriented technology.
FOXMAN-UN architecture consists on the following components:
• NEM Core including database,
• Agents,
• Main UIs (NEM Desktop, NEM Configurator, and NEM Network Browser) and Applications (like Ethernet Networking Package, Networking Package, Service Supervision, Section Management),
• Northbound interfaces (e.g. SNMP),
• Help.
The following installations are possible:
• Core and UI (Client) on one physical or virtual Linux machine (it is not recommended to use the GUI on the server);
• Core on Linux, UI (Client) on separate Linux machine;
• Core on Linux, UI (Client) on Windows® machine;
• Core on Linux, UIs (Clients) on Windows® and Linux machines.
For management of legacy nodes of type FOX51x the Windows® UI (Client) is required since it includes the FOX51x local craft terminal (UCST add-on).
