MPLS operates at the network level; that is, the managed objects relevant to MPLS involve more than one node. MPLS nodes have a number of managed objects, the status of which can change over time:
There are other MPLS objects that do not change because they are static in nature:
All of these are highly relevant to managing MPLS; for example, LSPs may span any number of MPLS nodes and can be built using EROs, resource blocks, and cross-connects. Providing MPLS support requires software for managing these and other objects. NNM MPLS SupportNNM provides no special support for MPLS but can be extended to use the appropriate MIBs. |
