A ExAP or LSMS Network Integration
This chapter provides network integration information for Multi-Purpose Server (MPS) systems and Oracle Communications LSMS (Local Service Management Systems).
A.1 Introduction
The MPS platform can be configured as an Oracle Communications EAGLE LNP Application Processor (ELAP) or EAGLE Application Processor (EPAP) server. The MPS platform is an ELAP/EPAP system based on the E5-APP-B card platform.
The MPS provides an interface between the customer provisioning network and the EAGLE Service Module (SM) cards. As the customer’s data is updated, the MPS stores the data and updates the SM cards. An MPS is usually co-located with an EAGLE. If you need to install an MPS at a distance from the EAGLE, contact your My Oracle Support (MOS) for assistance.
The LSMS uses a NAS to backup system and application logs, as well as databases. The E5-APP-B NAS has a two-drive storage in RAID configuration to save the LSMS logs and database. The NAS is initially configured through the primary LSMS using tty serial terminal.
A.2 Network Overview
ExAP Network Connections
Figure A-1, Figure A-4 and their corresponding tables Table A-1 and Table A-2, respectively, illustrate the networks and how they are connected.
All networks, except the provisioning network, use internal connections in the MPS. Only the provisioning network connects to the customer’s network. All networks use TCP/IP and UDP/IP as the transport protocol.
- The provisioning network uses the Ethernet interface that typically connects to an external wide area network (WAN). This interface provides connectivity to the remote MPS system, an LSMS, or to a customer-provided provisioning system.
- The main SM Network uses the Ethernet interface that connects to the primary network port on all SM cards. This network has sufficient capacity to support up to 32 ( for EPAP, 18 for ELAP) SMs. The primary port on all SM cards runs at 1G.

LSMS Network Connections
The Local Service Management System (LSMS) uses a NAS to backup system and application logs, as well as databases. The customer has the option of a Single Subnet configuration or Segmented configuration. The following figures and tables illustrate the different networks and how they are connected.
The LSMS Installation Kit includes a System Serial Number Label that should be applied to the frame's consolidated label. Refer to the "Label Application Instructions" that are included in LSMS Installation Kit for details.

A.4 Network Configuration
SM and Sync Network addresses are configured to default values at ExAP or LSMS initialization and should not need to be changed. If they need to be changed for any reason, refer to sections “Network Connection” and “Configuration Menu” in Administration and LNP Feature Activation for ELAP, or Administration Guide for EPAP.
The provisioning network addresses are configured using the ExAP or LSMS user interface configuration menu; refer to “Configuration Menu” in Administration and LNP Feature Activation for ELAP or Administration Guide for EPAP.
A.5 Firewall and Router Filtering Considerations
If a firewall is installed in the provisioning network between the MPS systems or between the MPS system(s) and the provisioning system, it must be configured to allow selected traffic to pass.
For firewall protocol filtering for the various interfaces, see Administration Guide for EPAP, Administration and LNP Feature Activation for ELAP or Installation and Upgrade Guide for LSMS.
