Licensing Requirements and Limitations for O&M Information Reporting
Involved Network Elements
Huawei's eSight or iMaster NCE-CampusInsight is required.
Licensing Requirements
O&M information reporting is a basic feature of a switch and is not under license control.
All switch models that support O&M information reporting can send the following information to iMaster NCE-CampusInsight. To view the information on iMaster NCE-CampusInsight, you must purchase and install a license of the iMaster NCE-CampusInsight Intelligent Network Analysis Advanced Package. In V200R019C10 and later versions, switches can send the following information to eSight without the need of a license:
- Audio and video quality information
- IP addresses, MAC addresses, access interfaces, and other information of connected terminals: obtained through ARP snooping deployed on access switches

All models of S12700 and S12700E series switches support O&M information reporting.
Only the X series cards support the service experience analysis (SEA) function.
- X5E series: cards excluding the LST7G48TX5E0 and LST7G48TX5E1 cards
- X5H and X5L series: all cards
- X5S series: cards excluding the LST7G48TX5S1 card
- X6E and X6 series: all cards
Feature Limitations
- O&M information reporting for audio and video services can be deployed only on access switches.
- O&M information reporting for audio and video services takes effect only for unencrypted SIP packets without any tunnel header received by the X series cards in IPv4 scenarios.
- After configuring a switch to report information about audio or video traffic using the collect-item media-quality enable command, you must enable the eMDI function to allow iMaster NCE-CampusInsight to analyze and monitor the reported information. Each eMDI instance monitors one target flow. Therefore, monitoring a SIP session requires two eMDI instances. You can run the display emdi command to check the number of eMDI instances supported by the switch.
- The supported voice applications include eSpace (installed on physical machines), Huawei IP phones, Cisco IP phones, and Yealink IP phones. The supported video applications include Huawei videoconferencing, Polycom videoconferencing, and Cisco videoconferencing.
