Operational efficiency
The 210 WBX running Nuage Networks software supports full
configuration and network management functions using
SNMPv3 for the Nokia Network Services Platform (NSP) or
third-party network management systems. Local configuration
is provided using a console with out-of-band management
provided over a dedicated Ethernet 10/100/1000 port. The
210 WBX is also integrated into the Nuage Networks Virtualized
Services Assurance Platform (VSAP), which provides the
network management component for the Nokia Data Center
and SD-WAN (NNS) Services Delivery solutions. VSAP provides
support for Nuage Networksspecific features, underlay/overlay
visualization, as well as alarms/events correlation used by
operations and network teams for network troubleshooting.

The 210 WBX is also integrated into the Nuage Networks VSAP,
which provides the network management component for the
Nokia Data Center Services Delivery solution. The solution
combines functionality from the Nokia 5620 Service Aware
Manager (SAM) and the Nokia 5650 Control Plane Assurance
Manager (CPAM) along with unique datacenter feature sets to
provide end-to-end network management and service
assurance for a datacenter or Virtual Network Services (VNS)
SD-WAN network.

Forwarding table flexibility

Support for both fully virtualized and non-virtualized compute

platforms is critical for today’s datacenters. Although the trend
is moving towards fully virtualized environments, there is still a
high ratio of legacy applications residing on physical servers.

Overlays are used to create virtual networks across the

datacenter and isolate traffic and address space between
different virtual networks. At the same time, overlays keep the
underlay physical network simple. More importantly, there is no
need to modify the underlay when creating overlays.

The 210 WBX using Nuage Networks software supports a

wire-speed hardware gateway function to bridge the
non-virtualized environment seamlessly into the virtual
compute environment. Gateway functionality is delivered by a
robust and scalable Virtual Tunnel End Point (VTEP)
implementation in hardware. This supports VLAN
interconnection to the VXLAN from the non-virtualized servers
for distribution to the virtual environment, using Layer 2 or
Layer 3. There is also full integration with the most advanced Data
