Hello!

This post will share with you SBI interface for uTraffic.

SBI

The uTraffic uses southbound interfaces (SBIs) to interconnect with devices and collects inventory and performance data from NEs to implement device management.

Interface Description

SNMP

SNMP is a TCP/IP-based network management protocol at the application layer. SNMP uses the UDP protocol at the transmission layer. Through the SNMP SBI, the uTraffic can manage network equipment that supports agent processes.

The uTraffic supports the SNMP SBI that complies with SNMP v1, SNMP v2c, and SNMP v3. Through the SNMP SBI, the U2000 can connect to equipment. The SNMP SBI supports basic management functions such as auto-discovery of network devices, service configuration, data synchronization, fault management, and performance management.

NOTE:

SNMPv3 is more secure and therefore is recommended.

FTP/SFTP

×

FTP, and SFTP are TCP/IP-based network management protocols at the application layer.
  • File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a set of standard protocols used for transferring files on networks. The FTP protocol transfers passwords and file contents in plain text.

  • SSH FTP (SFTP) uses the SSH protocol to provide secure file transfer and processing. Passwords and data are encrypted during transmission.

  • The uTraffic uses FTP or SFTP to collect performance data from NEs.

NOTE:

SFTP is more secure and therefore is recommended.

Qx

×

A Qx interface is a private communication interface simplified based on ITU-T Q3 interface regulations and works in compliance with the standard TCP/IP management protocol. It can transmit data through in-band DCC/ECC or out-band communication medium and features fewer costs, standard structure, and high efficiency. The U2000 automatically adapts to different protocol types.

Telnet/STelnet

×

×

The Telnet and STelnet SBIs are a basic type of interface used for remote login to and management of NEs. The Telnet and STelnet SBIs address the disadvantages of the SNMP SBI and allow the U2000 to provide more management functions.
  • Telnet is a TCP/IP-based network management protocol at the application layer. Through the Telnet SBI, users can log in to an NE in the CLI and run commands directly in the CLI to maintain and configure the NE. Using the TCP protocol at the transmission layer, the Telnet protocol provides services for network communication. The Telnet protocol transmits communication data in plain text, which is not secure.

  • STelnet provides secure Telnet services based on SSH connections. Providing encryption and authentication, SSH protects NEs against attacks of IP address spoofing.

NOTE:

SSH is more secure and therefore is recommended.

Netconf

×

The NETCONF protocol is used to manage configuration data and network devices. This protocol is designed to supplement the SNMP and Telnet protocols for network configuration. The uTraffic uses NETCONF to synchronize inventory data from NEs.

HTTPS

×

HTTPS is an HTTP protocol based on encrypted transmission channels. The uTraffic uses HTTPS to collect performance data from probes.

Netstream

×

×

NetStream is a network traffic collection protocol based on UDP transmission, which reports network traffic collection results to the uTraffic. By using this protocol, the uTraffic can be aware of the volume, source, and destination of network traffic.
