Simplified Network

The devise tool provides GUI, input the configuration parameters and resources required by hardware layer, virtual layer, MANO and service layer. The iDevise automatically generates LLD files of each layer preparing for the network deployment. 
The design tool includes:

• Virtual layer design: Includes network devise (IP addresses, VLAN and etc.), server devise, storage devise, available zone devise, and virtual layer version management.
• MANO layer design: Includes MANO network devise (IP addresses, VLAN and etc.), tenant devise, VM standard devise, and MANO version management.
• Service layer design: Includes service NE network devise (IP addresses, VLAN and etc.), VNF ID devise, tenant devise, VM standard devise and VNF version management.

Import LLD file: The tool completes the deployment of virtual layer, MANO layer and service layer, as well as basic configuration automatically based on the parameters of the LLD file. The First Call of the service can be successful.
The deployment tool realizes:

• Installation deployment of virtual layer: Includes checking the hardware environment, uploading versions, starting VMs, PXE services, loading versions, host discovery, installing versions, and creating host aggregations.
• Installation deployment of MANO layer: Includes checking environment, uploading versions, creating tenants, deploying NFVO VMs, installing NFVO OMM, configuring NFVO, deploying VNFM VMs, installing VNFM OMM, and configuring VNFM.
• Instantiation of service NE: Includes checking the environment, creating tenants, creating cloud disk types, creating a network, uploading version packages, importing basic packages, creating version packages quickly and instantiation.
• Checking after instantiation: The system checks the deployment data after NE instantiation.

iConfig provides site data planning & design and automatic configuration of NEs, supports automatic configuration of First Call/First Download and commercial scenarios, and is also applicable for capacity expansion of the configuration.
The configuration tool realizes:

• Site data planning: Includes the planning of application scenarios, global key parameters, interface addresses & routing and service parameters, and output of LLD files.
• Site data configuration: Depending on iDeploy, the system completes data backup, data configuration and data restoration by importing the LLD files from iConfig.

The test tool provides abundant test case libraries based on ZTE IT cloud environment. The users can download test case packages from the cloud on demand and execute them at the test phones/sites, iTest outputs the test reports and completes function/performance test, and the test tool center is to accelerate the promotion of automatic test capability of NFV network.
The test tool realizes:

• Test case management: The cloud test center maintains and manages the test cases uniformly, and the test tool can download and import test cases remotely;
• Test task management: Includes test task management, test task execution, test report and test logs;
• NE terminal dial test: Includes the function and performance test of service NEs;
• DPI dial test: Includes the support of original work orders and SI comparison.
