Data acquisition The Probe for Nortel CNM gathers events from the Nortel CNM 3GPP servers using a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) interface. CORBA is an Object Management Group specification that provides a standard interface definition between objects in a distributed environment; that is, it allows applications to communicate with one another regardless of where they are located or who has designed them. Connecting to the CORBA interface The Probe for Nortel CNM acts as a

The FTP command is run in the user’s home directory. For FTP users other than root, you must change the default path specified by the NortelSecurityIrpFile property to enable the probe to locate the security IRP file; for example, if the FTP user is norteluser, the home directory for this user will be /home/norteluser. In this case, you must change the default path specified by the NortelSecurityIrpFile property to: ../../opt/nortel/config/3GPP/NortelSecurityIrpAgent.ior Status checking The

Filtering notifications and alarms The NotificationFilter and AlarmFilter properties allow you to specify what notifications and alarms the probe expects from the device. When you use these properties, you must use the actual token names. For example, the token h represents the element NV_PERCEIVED_SEVERITY; so, to specify that the probe is only sent notifications with a perceived severity of 3, you must set the NotificationFilter property to $h == 3. You can specify more complex filters usi

Peer-to-Peer failover functionality The Probe for Nortel CNM supports failover configurations where two probes run simultaneously. One probe acts as the master probe, sending events to the ObjectServer; the other acts as the slave probe on standby. In the event of the master probe failing, the slave probe activates. While the slave probe receives heartbeats from the master probe, it will not forward events to the ObjectServer. If the master shuts down, the slave probe will stop receiving he

Internationalization support The Probe for Nortel CNM supports multi-byte character sets. To view the character sets correctly, you must configure the locale settings on the host machine correctly. Each multi-byte character set is configured slightly differently on each platform. The following section describes example locale configurations on a UNIX platform; other character sets on other platforms will be configured in a similar way. Example multi-byte character set configuration on Solari
