DIRAC System
The DIRAC system is composed of the following components:
• The DIRAC server, running on a Linux physical or virtual machine. The DIRAC server is managed with the DIRAC CLI and via its REST interface. Typically the DIRAC server is deployed as add-on to the FOXMAN-UN and is running on the same physical and/or virtual Linux machine as the FOXMAN-UN.
• The SENC1 units, operated in FOX61x network elements. The SENC1 units basic configuration is done using FOXCST and FOXMAN-UN. Once a unit is deployed in a FOX61x network element the SENC1 is managed with the FOXMAN-UN ESM:
− via the DIRAC server for the setup of crypto configurations for MPLS tunnels, and
− via the FOX61x core unit for the configuration of the SENC1 unit and port parameters.
Please note:
The configuration of the Layer 2 protocol packet encryption is done in the ESM of FOXMAN-UN or via the DIRAC CLI. FOXMAN-UN ESM provides the full functionality for L2 encryption setup.
The FOXMAN-UN (as shown in Figure DIRAC server main components), running on a Linux machine, is not part of the DIRAC system. The FOXMAN-UN applies encryption profiles to MPLS tunnels that fit to crypto configurations used on the SENC1 Crypto Engines.
