DIRAC & FU Credential Management
This application is related to DIRAC & SENC1 Functional Units (FU). It provides the means to manage all encryption related credentials used in the network.
It is primarily used for management of credentials used for MPLS-TP encrypted tunnels, provided by FOX61x encryption units (SENC1‑4, SENC1F4, SENC1‑8, SENC1F8) in the managed network(s).
The application provides the following tabs:
• Overview, see Overview tab;
• Functional Unit, see Functional Unit tab;
• Key, see Key tab;
• Job, see Job tab.
Overview tab
Provides an overview page with summary information on all elements used for DIRAC & SENC1 Functional Units (FU) credential management and their status, including
• Jobs (see Job tab),
• Functional Units (see Functional Unit tab),
• Keys (see Key tab).
Functional Unit tab
Crypto Functional Unit
The table lists all managed functional units (FU) used on encryption units (SENC1‑4, SENC1F4, SENC1‑8, SENC1F8) with their specific characteristics relevant to credential management, such as
• Node, Unit, Status, Hardware;
• Authorized keys - indicating the number of authorized keys on the FU,
• Release - indicating the software version running on the FU,
• GRPC expiration date,
• ID,
• IP address of the FU,
• Tags assigned to the FU.
For an FU selected in the entity table (left panel), the right panel provides some detail information, such as
• Unit address (unit name, slot, FU#),
• Node (name of the node),
• Software (software name and version),
• Hardware (name of the HW unit),
• Status (management status of the FU),
• ID,
• gRPC Expiration date,
• IP Address (of the FU).
For an FU selected in the entity table (left panel), the context menu provides the following options:
• Renew gRPC keys,
• Force Poll,
• Check connectivity.
For multiple selected FUs, only the last two options are available.
