OmniAccess 5510 USG - Release Notes
September 2010
VRF
VRF-CE (Virtual Routing and Forwarding Customer Edge) is a feature that enables a service provider
to support two or more VPNs, where IP addresses can be overlapped among the VPNs. VRF-CE uses
input interfaces to distinguish routes for different VPNs and forms virtual packet-forwarding tables by
associating one or more Layer 3 interfaces with each VRF. A Layer 3 interface can belong to only one
VRF at any time. Interfaces in a VRF can be either physical or logical such as VLANs.
System Management and Logging
CLI (Console, Telnet, SSH)
Alcatel-Lucent’s Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based configuration interface that allows
users to configure applications and to view statistics. Each CLI command applicable to the
OmniAccess 5510 USG is defined in the CLI Reference guide. All command descriptions listed in the
Reference Guide include command syntax definitions, defaults, usage guidelines, example screen
output. The CLI uses single-line text commands that are similar to other industry standard switch
interfaces and can be accessed via the console, Telnet, or SSH.
USGM - Unified Services Gateway Configuration Manager (HTTP, HTTPS)
The OmniAccess 5510 USG can be monitored and configured using USGM, Alcatel-Lucent’s web-
based device management tool. The USGM application is embedded in the OmniAccess 5510 USG
and is accessible via the supported web browsers. USGM contains modules for configuring all
software features in OmniAccess 5510 USG as well as configuration wizards for Firewall, VPN, and
QoS configuration.
SNMP (v1, v2, v3)
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol that allows
communication between SNMP managers and SNMP agents on an IP network. Network
administrators use SNMP to monitor network performance and to solve network problems. SNMP
provides an industry standard communications model used by network administrators to manage and
monitor their network devices. OmniAccess 5510 USG supports SNMP v1, v2 and v3 versions.
Syslog Forwarding
Forwarding syslog protocol compliant log messages to multiple hosts is allowed. It is possible to
specify up to a maximum of 16 servers.
Ping, Traceroute
Ping and traceroute are common IP tools for testing IP connectivity.
Hitless Component Upgrades
Hitless component upgrade feature involves upgrading of one or more services without disrupting
other services. There is no noticeable downtime during this upgrade, and only the services involved
are replaced and restarted.
