Configuring OSS Mapping

Configuring OSS Mapping to Represent a T4000 Chassis as a T1600 or a T640 Chassis

You can configure the operations support systems (OSS) mapping feature to represent a T4000 chassis as a T1600 chassis or a T640 chassis. This topic includes the following tasks:

Configuring T4000 Chassis as a T1600 Chassis

To configure a T4000 chassis as a T1600 chassis:

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit chassis] hierarchy level.
  2. Configure the OSS mapping feature to map the T4000 chassis to a T1600 chassis.

Configuring T4000 Chassis as a T640 Chassis

To configure a T4000 chassis as a T640 chassis:

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit chassis] hierarchy level.
  2. Configure the OSS mapping feature to map the T4000 chassis to a T640 chassis.
Note:

By default, the OSS mapping feature is disabled.

Disabling the OSS Mapping Feature

To disable the OSS mapping feature:

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit chassis] hierarchy level.
  2. Disable the OSS mapping feature that maps a T4000 chassis to a T640 chassis.
  3. Disable the OSS mapping feature that maps a T4000 chassis to a T1600 chassis.
Note:
  • The set chassis oss-map model-name t640 | t1600 command is applicable only on T4000 routers. You must explicitly set this command when a T1600 chassis or a T640 chassis is upgraded to a T4000 chassis.

  • You can execute the set chassis oss-map model-name t640 command or the set chassis oss-map model-name t1600 command if the OSS is compatible with either the T640 chassis or the T1600 chassis, respectively.

Example: Configuring a T4000 Chassis to Represent a T640 Chassis

This example shows how to configure OSS mapping feature to represent a T4000 chassis as a T640 chassis. You can extend this concept to configure a T4000 chassis to represent as a T1600 chassis as well.

Requirements

This example uses the following hardware and software components:

  • One T4000 router

  • Junos OS Release 12.3R3, 13.1R2, 13.2R1, or later

Overview

Operations support systems (OSS) is used by service providers to maintain their networks. When a new router is added or removed from the network, the OSS must be updated to reflect the changes. This process is tedious and time-consuming.

When a T1600 chassis or a T640 chassis is upgraded to a T4000 chassis, the OSS identifies the new chassis as a new networking element and follows a tedious process of qualifying it for the customer’s network. The OSS mapping feature helps avoid this scenario.

Using the OSS mapping feature, you can map a T4000 chassis to a T1600 chassis or to a T640 chassis with the set chassis oss-map model-name t640|t1600 configuration command. This configuration command overrides the chassis model name, so that the OSS recognizes the chassis as a known chassis and proceeds without any requalification.

Note:
  • The set chassis oss-map model-name t640 | t1600 command is applicable only on T4000 routers. You must explicitly set this command when a T1600 chassis or a T640 chassis is upgraded to a T4000 chassis.

  • You can execute the set chassis oss-map model-name t640 command or the set chassis oss-map model-name t1600 command, if the OSS is compatible with either the T640 chassis or the T1600 chassis, respectively.

Configuring the T4000 Chassis to Represent a T640 Chassis

Procedure

Step-by-Step Procedure

To configure the T4000 chassis to represent a T640 chassis by using the OSS mapping feature:

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit chassis] hierarchy level.

  2. Configure the OSS mapping feature to map the T4000 chassis to a T640 chassis.

Verification

Verifying the OSS Mapping Feature

Purpose

To verify that the OSS mapping feature is working on a T4000 router.

Action

Run the show chassis operational command and verify that the configured known chassis name is displayed when the T4000 chassis is mapped to a T640 chassis.

  • Run the show chassis hardware operational command:

    show chassis hardware

  • Run the show chassis hardware detail operational command:

    show chassis hardware detail

  • Run the show chassis hardware extensive operational command:

    show chassis hardware extensive

Verifying the OSS Mapping Feature on SNMP MIBs

Purpose

To verify that the SNMP MIBs are updated with the configured known chassis name.

Action

Run the show snmp mib operational commands and verify that the configured known chassis name is displayed in SNMP MIBs when the T4000 chassis is mapped to a T640 chassis:

  • Run the show snmp mib walk system operational command:

    show snmp mib walk system

  • Run the show snmp mib walk jnxBoxAnatomy operational command:

    show snmp mib walk jnxBoxAnatomy

Meaning

On configuring the OSS mapping feature, the OSS maps the T4000 chassis to a T640 chassis, thereby preventing requalification of the new chassis.
