This guide describes the Cisco Network Order Manager (CNOM), a software management module which can submit a simple work order that contains only endpoint information for a connection which may span multiple devices. This chapter includes:
Use the Cisco Network Order Manager (CNOM) to launch the DSL service life cycle: the creation, modification, and deletion of customer services achieved by performing specific network equipment reconfiguration in a specific order. CNOM provides a simple-to-use management configuration provisioning tool for Cisco element managers CDM (Cisco DSL Manager), CWM (Cisco WAN Manager) and SCM (Cisco 6400 Service Connection Manager). CNOM supports connections between subtended DSLAMs, in a WAN (managed by CWM), and between Cisco 6400 Universal Access Concentrators (UACs). CNOM insulates the operator from the network and device detail by providing a high-level network order interface for element management.
Network orders typically contain the following elements.
You can configure CNOM from components, associated line cards, and management software listed in Table 1-1. Cisco Element Management Framework (CEMF) allows the individual element management systems associated with CNOM system components to reside within a common framework. CNOM has access to each element manager through CEMF to perform provisioning of a service or a subscriber.
