External Interfaces
eSight provides various external interfaces, such as southbound interfaces and northbound interfaces.
Figure 2-2 shows external interfaces of eSight.
The external interfaces are as follows:
- IF1: This interface is a southbound interface for connecting devices to eSight so that eSight can manage these devices. eSight supports the following types of southbound interfaces: SNMP, Telnet/STelnet, FTP/SFTP/FTPS, TR069, Huawei Man-Machine Language (MML), HTTPS, IPMI, SMI-S, and so on.
- IF2: This interface is a northbound interface for integrating eSight with upper-layer management systems. The upper-layer OSS or third-party system can obtain resources, alarms, and performance data managed by eSight through the SNMP, HTTP, or FTP interface. eSight can interconnect with the Syslog server to forward eSight logs to the Syslog server.
- IF3: This interface is used to integrate the external authentication server. eSight can interconnect with authentication servers built by enterprises so that users of the authentication servers can log in to eSight. The supported connection protocols include LDAP, RADIUS, and SSO.
- IF4: This interface is used to send notifications. eSight can connect to mail servers and SMS gateways of enterprises, and send the received important alarms, events, and reports to customers through email or SMS message.
- IF5: This interface is a user interface (UI). The system administrator and operator invoke this interface to use eSight functions.
