Control Plane Domain
A control plane domain is a set of nodes completely interconnected by the intelligent
control plane. One TransNav management system can manage up to 200 nodes in a
single control plane domain. The number of nodes can be increased from 200 up to
1000 nodes with the addition of management gateway nodes to the network.
Domain management includes tasks such as:
• Setting the gateway node
• Configuring network links
• Creating performance monitoring templates and alarm profiles
• Creating protection rings and services
• Generating reports
Management Gateway Nodes
The TransNav management server connects to nodes over the service provider’s
TCP/IP data communications network. The management system accesses a network
through one or more nodes that are designated as management gateway nodes (MGN).
For in-band management, only one node is connected to the management server.
Therefore, there is one MGN in a network that is managed in-band.
For out-of-band management, each node is connected to the management server either
directly or through a router. Each node is considered a MGN.
