Topology management is a way to present the topology relationships between NEs, subnets,
and links on a network by graphics. The main functions are as follows: importing data from or
exporting data into a file, setting the background, as well as NE layout and monitored NEs.
Topology management provides the following functions:
Displays NEs and links by subnets. Each subnet can be displayed in a different topology
view.
Customizes topology view, displaying or hiding types of NEs and links.
Queries the information about NEs and links between NEs.
Creates, modifies, and deletes subnets, NEs, links.
Zooms out, zooms in, locks, and unlocks a view.
Sets the background (including an empty background) for a view.
Arranges the objects in the current subnet in good order.
Moves, cuts, and pastes the objects in a subnet.
Filters topology objects by object types.
Supports discovering SNMP NEs instantly or as scheduled.
Monitors the statuses of all devices on the main topology view in a centralized manner.
The main topology view displays the device alarms of all severities and devices statuses
with multiple types of icons, and provides alarm information in tips. The user can
customize the display effect of alarms as required.

Subnet
On M2000, a large network can be divided into several smaller networks based on a specific rule
(for example, by region), for the convenience of network management. On M2000, these smaller
networks are called subnets. Subnets are located in the physical view and electronic map.
NE
NEs are used to identify concrete entity devices, such as switches and routers. NEs can be grouped
into physical NEs and virtual NEs.
Physical NEs are the Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. communication devices that exist in the network.
The physical NEs can be managed by M2000.
Virtual NEs are the communication devices that do not truly exist or devices that do not belong to
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.. You cannot manage the virtual NEs by M2000, but you can add the
existing virtual NEs to the physical view, and know the entire communication network.
Link
A link is used to identify the physical or logical connection between two topological nodes in the
topology view. It is the general name of connections in the topology view and includes physical links,
optical fibers, and service paths or virtual connections between two nodes. Including physical links
and virtual links.
A physical link indicates that there actually exits physical connection between physical NEs, subnets,
and a physical NE and a subnet. A virtual link refers to the logic link between NEs (including physical
NEs and virtual NEs), subnets, and an NE and a subnet.

Physical subnets reflect the network hierarchy in the topology view. Setting up physical
subnets properly can improve the visibility of the communication network and operability
of M2000. Setting up a physical subnet involves the operations such as designing a
physical view and creating subnets, NEs, and links.

Before deploying NEs in a physical topology view, you need to design the view. The
physical topology view should clearly reflect the actual communication network structure
to facilitate routine maintenance and operations.
The topology management window consists of a navigation tree on the left and a
topology view on the right. The navigation tree displays all the topology objects and their
hierarchical relations in a tree, and the topology view displays all the topology objects and
their positions on the physical topology view.

By setting the background for the specified subnet or container NE, you can view the
positions of the topology objects under the subnet or container NE in a distinguished
manner.
On M2000, only the image files in the formats of .gif or .jpg can be imported, and the file
size cannot exceed 1 MB.
Container NEs refer to multi-subrack devices on a network. NEs in a container NE refer to
boards in subracks of a multi-subrack device. If a subrack of a multi-subrack device has
multiple boards, the subrack is also a container NE. In other words, container NEs can
contain container NEs. Container NEs provide the same functions as subnets and common
NEs do except that: Container NEs do not allows NEs to be moved in or out, but subnets
allow.
Container NEs provide some functions of subnets, but common NEs do not.

You can create a subnet in the physical view or on the electronic map and add NEs to the
subnet to facilitate management.

The recommended number of objects (including NEs and subnets) deployed in the same
subnet is not more than 500; otherwise, the performance may be reduced, especially in
low bandwidth of the network.

eGBTS must be created under their controller NEs, such as BSC6900 GSM, BSC6900 GU,
BSC6910 GSM and BSC6910 GU, to which eGBTS belongs.
NodeBs must be created under their controller NEs, such as RNC, BSC6900 UMTS, and
BSC6900 GU, to which NodeBs belongs.
After an NE is created, it is displayed in the topology navigation tree and topology view. At
the same time, M2000 automatically synchronizes NE configuration data. If the NE is in an
abnormal status, M2000 displays an NE status icon to the upper-left of the NE icon.
Typical NE status is as follows: :
indicates the NE and M2000 server are disconnected. In this case, you need to
check whether the connection between the NE and M2000 is normal or whether
the IP address of the NE is correctly set.
indicates the NE has not been configured or the NE version does not match the
mediation version installed on M2000 server. In this case, you need to check
whether the NE is correctly configured or whether the matching mediation version
is installed.

This section describes how to enable M2000 to automatically detect and create
NodeBs/BTS3900s. After a specified controller for NodeBs/BTS3900s, such as the RNC,
BSC6900 UMTS, BSC6900 GU, and BSC6900 GSM, has been created in the topology view,
M2000 synchronizes the information about the NodeBs/BTS3900s managed by the
controller by using the automatic detection function, and automatically creates the
NodeBs/BTS3900s. Then, you can perform operation and maintenance on the
NodeBs/BTS3900s on M2000 client.
Prerequisites
The controller managing NodeBs/BTS3900s has been created and communicates
with the M2000 server properly.
The NodeB/BTS3900 mediation software has been installed.
Check whether the relay server of the controller managing NodeBs/BTS3900s has
been configured prope. See Configuration Management course for details.

NodeBs may be in the disconnected state because they are deleted or reparented.
Therefore, you need to determine the reason why the NodeBs are disconnected before
performing the related operation such as deleting, reconnecting, and waiting for the
NodeBs to be reparented.
