3 The External Object Model
This chapter provides details of the External Object Model (EOM).
General Concepts
This section provides the general concepts of the EOM.
Purpose of the External Object Model
The EOM is a simplified version of Oracle Communications IP Service Activator's internal object model. It defines all the objects that can be accessed or updated by external applications, including their attributes and the relationships between them. The EOM is a subset of the object model, allowing user programs to create and access data objects without requiring knowledge of the underlying complexity of the entire object model.
Overall Structure
The EOM is divided into three major categories:
-
Policy: The Policy Model contains objects for defining QoS and security in terms of rules and general QoS mechanisms. It is used in conjunction with the Topology Model to apply QoS and security policies to actual devices in a real network.
-
Topology: The Topology Model contains objects that represent the network topology of the actual managed network, such as VPNs, devices, interfaces and VC objects.
-
System: The System Model contains objects that represent the IP Service Activator system components and associated system management objects.
Object Notation
Objects within the EOM are described under the following headings:
-
Object diagram: Showing the relationships between objects.
-
Attributes: The name, data type, default value, and access type of each attribute of the object, plus any additional explanatory remarks. Note that attribute names must not include spaces, for example, PacketMarkingName. Case is not significant and is used in this document for clarity only.
-
Inheritance: A definition of the attributes that are inherited from other objects (see "Object Inheritance and Abstract Objects").
Access Types
Each attribute has one of the Access Types listed in Table 3-1.
Table 3-1 Attribute Access Types
Type | Meaning |
---|---|
RO |
Read Only. |
RW |
Read/Write. |
RC |
Read/Modify on create only. |
WO |
The attribute is masked but can be edited (for example, passwords). |
CO |
Can be set on object creation only. The attribute will not appear on the object. |
Data Types
Each attribute has one of the Data Types listed in Table 3-2.
Table 3-2 Attribute Data Types
Type | Meaning |
---|---|
U32 |
Unsigned 32-bit integer. In some cases the value may be restricted to a smaller range than 32 bits. In these cases the range is noted in the text. |
String |
A string, containing any alphanumeric characters, generally less than 127 characters. In some cases the maximum length is shorter or longer, and is detailed in the relevant parts of this document. |
Enum |
A string representing one member from a set of enumerated values. |
Boolean |
Boolean, can be True or False. |
IPAddress |
IPv4 address or subnet mask, in the format nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn <=255. IPv6 address is eight groups of four hexadecimal digits (for example, 2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7334) |
DateTime |
Date and time, in the format YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS. All times in OIM are displayed and set as GMT. |
Key to Object Diagrams
Relationships between objects are represented diagrammatically. Figure 3-1 shows the standard way in which information is represented.
Linking by Attribute
To simplify the manipulation of objects, the EOM has the ability in certain cases to link objects by attribute. This means that an attribute of an EOM object may actually be the name of another child object, and modifying that name will unlink the current child and link a new child with the specified name. This actual link is hidden from the user, and is performed automatically.
If such an attribute is modified then the attribute must be changed to the name of an existing object of the correct type. The system will locate the new object to be linked by searching, usually the domain or the policy object.
In most cases the attribute may be modified to an empty string. The child object will then be unlinked, and no replacement object will be linked.
The descriptions of the EOM object indicate which attributes (if any) automatically link to other objects.
Object Inheritance and Abstract Objects
To simplify the representation of data, a concept of abstract objects is used. Abstract objects hold common attributes that are inherited by all child objects.
Abstract objects cannot themselves be accessed via the OIM command set.
Table 3-3 lists and describes the abstract objects.
Table 3-3 Abstract Objects
Object | Purpose |
---|---|
Object |
Inherited by all EOM objects; common attributes (Name and ID). |
Traffic |
Inherited by all traffic type objects (TrafficGroup, TrafficCompound, TrafficMime, TrafficPort, TrafficURL, TrafficApplication, TrafficSubApplication, TrafficPacketMarking or TrafficDomainName, TrafficVlan, TrafficInputInterface). |
Rule |
Inherited by all rule objects (RuleAccess, RuleClass, RuleGeneric, or RulePolicing); specifies common rule attributes except RuleGeneric, which specifies a configuration policy. |
VCEndpoint |
Inherited by all VC endpoint objects (VCEndpointFr or VCEndpointAtm). |
Role |
Inherited by RoleDevice and RoleInterface objects. |
ClassificationBase |
Inherited by Classification and ClassificationGroup objects. |
EventFilter |
Inherited by EventFilterAttributeChange and EventFilterFaultMask objects. |
Object Reference
All objects within the EOM inherit the ID attribute and the Name attribute from the abstract object. Table 3-4 gives details about these attributes.
Table 3-4 Attributes Inherited from Abstract Objects
Attribute Name | Type | Default | Access | Explanation |
---|---|---|---|---|
Id |
U32 |
0 |
RO |
Unique object reference, which remains unique for the lifetime of the object. |
Name |
String |
[no default] |
RO/RW* |
Name of object. |
*Access varies according to object. See details of each object.
Object Inheritance
Each object inherits attributes from its parent object. This is represented using the following notation:
object.parent.[parent]
For example:
RuleAccess.Rule.Object
indicates that the RuleAccess object inherits attributes from the Rule object, which in turn inherits attributes from the abstract object.

ParameterSetInstance
A ParameterSetInstance object represents an instance of a ParameterSet that has been applied. It is a child of the relevant ParameterSet and the object to which the parameters are applied using the use command (see "The Use Command").
ParameterSetInstance objects have the following object inheritance:
ParameterSet.Object
The ParameterSetInstance has the attributes defined by the ParameterSet object, but the parameters have actual values associated with them. Their types are correctly set, rather than just defined as strings, so for example, OCH_MeasureCBQoS is a Boolean value.
If the ParameterSetInstance is an instance of the MeasurementParameterSet, then the attributes of the ParameterSetInstance are modifiable by OIM.
If the ParameterSetInstance is an instance of the CollectorParameterSet, then the attributes of the ParameterSetInstance cannot be modified via OIM, but instead come directly from the ExternalSystem object that is a child of the ParameterSetInstance. The attributes of the ExternalSystem are modifiable, and modifying them also changes the parameter values of the ParameterSetInstance. For further information about ExternalSystem object, see "ExternalSystem Object".
Figure 3-4 shows the ParameterSetInstance object diagram.

When a device in this domain is discovered, a check is made to see if a loopback interface matching this text string exists. If it does, the IP address of the loopback interface is stored with the device information. |
InterfacePolicyRegistration
The interface policy registration informs the IP Service Activator core about a generic policy and its abilities, and is restricted to the interface management scope. Within this scope, the information about a policy is characterized by:
-
Operation: What is the name of the policy? What does this policy do - Create or Decorate? How should this policy be represented in the GUI menus?
-
Context: What kind of device does this policy apply to? At what level can this policy be made available - device, controller, interface or subinterface? If a controller, interface or subinterface is the level chosen, what kind of controller, interface or subinterface should it be?
-
Creation Template: If the policy type is Create, what kind of interface or subinterface does it create? Is there any pattern that its name should follow? What kind of capabilities should that object have upon creation?
Creation capabilities apply only when the object being created is an interface. In that case, all the interface level capabilities have to be specified (linked) - interface caps, subinterface caps and VC caps. Note that you must not modify a caps object linked to a registration. It might be in use by other interfaces - once a caps object is created under the Topology, it is immediately shareable. Instead, create a new caps object, unlink the old one and link in the new one. Or just repeat the interface linkage with another interface that has the desired caps.
A given policy may be registered many times depending upon how flexible it is. For instance, a policy may be able to create a subinterface or decorate an existing one. In such a case, you would register this policy twice - once each for Create and Decorate. Once an interface management generic policy has been registered appropriately, it is ready for use.
Once a given registration is in use, the management operations that can be performed on it are limited. This is to ensure we do not orphan the current users or create a mismatch between the current users and post-modification future users. In-use registrations cannot be deleted. They can be modified, but only certain attributes can change:
-
They can be disabled. A disabled registration no longer appears on any GUI menus and cannot be used anew - the existing usages remain unimpacted.
-
Their name can change.
-
Their menu text can change.
In order to create an interface (subinterface), the user must set their path to the Device (Interface). They have to then create a stub object: "create Interface:SomeName", or "create SubInterface:SomeName". Then they have to link the desired registration (child) to the stub object (parent). It is recommended they commit at this point so their EOM is updated with the new object. They have to then link the desired role (child) to the stub object. Under the stub object, they will find the generic policy instance. They have to modify its payload attributes with the appropriate XML string. Now, a commit will complete the creation operation.
To configure an object, you must simply link the desired registration (child) to the desired object (parent). It is recommended they commit at this point so their EOM is updated with the new objects. The desired object must be linked to an appropriate role. Under that desired object, they will find the generic policy instance. They have to modify its payload attributes with the appropriate XML string. Now, a commit will complete the configure operation.
To delete a created interface or subinterface, the user must simply delete the object.
To remove the configuration of a previously configured object, the user must simply unlink the applied registration from the object.

CustomerFolder Object
A CustomerFolder object represents a folder which contains customer objects, or other CustomerFolder objects, for purposes of organization within the GUI.
CustomerFolder objects have the following object inheritance:
CustomerFolder.Object
Figure 3-9 shows the CustomerFolder object diagram.
A Customer always has either 1 or 2 parents and is always linked to its parent Domain. It may be linked to zero or one parent CustomerFolders. In the IP Service Activator GUI, if a Customer has 2 parents, it will always be displayed under the CustomerFolder, not under the Customers folder. If a customer is created under a folder, it is automatically linked to its parent Domain.
A Customer folder is a child of either another Customer folder or the Domain, but not both.
Table 3-17 describes the attributes for the CustomerFolder object.

Account Object
An account is a source or destination point in the network to which policy rules can be applied. An account in this context can be one of the following:
-
A user, identified by a name and an IP address
-
A host computer, identified by an IP address
-
A subnet
Account objects have the following object inheritance:
Account.Object
Accounts can be organized into a hierarchical structure of groups for organizational purposes or to represent the structure of a company.
-
Accounts must be set up via the IP Service Activator user interface, but existing accounts can be browsed in the EOM.
-
In the EOM, Account objects are not strictly required for the correct operation of policy objects; use of Accounts is therefore limited.
-
Existing accounts may be referred to by name when manipulating Rule objects.
-
Rules do not require host/subnet accounts to be entered; IP addresses may be input directly.

TLS Object
A Transparent LAN Service is a service used to connect together separate LAN segments via an MPLS cloud and make them appear as if they were forming a unique VLAN. TLS objects can be used to connect distinct physical ports or specific VLANs associated with physical ports. In the first case, the ports are known as “host ports", whereas in the second case they are called “trunk ports" (in both case, ports are a synonym for the Interface objects).
The TLS object has the following object inheritance:
Tls.Object
Note that policy (rules, PHB groups and driver groups) applied on the TLS or higher up in the inheritance hierarchy (for example on the customer) is not inherited through TLS objects down to the specific ports.
If a TLS has a ServiceType attribute of PortAndVlan, the range of VLAN IDs specified on the TLS will be used to set up the TLS customer profile on the PE port. The actual VLANs created on the PE port and on the MTU ports can be specified on the site itself (but must be a subset of the VLAN IDs specified on the TLS). If no VLAN IDs and no encapsulation are specified on the L2Site object, all the VLANs that are part of the TLS range will be created on the PE and MTU in the site.
The system validates that on a CE/MTU the same VLAN is not used in the context of different TLS services, to avoid cross communications between the TLSs. It is assumed that on the PE, VLANs created in the context of different PortAndVlan based TLSs will be prevented from communicating by the customer profile.
Figure 3-13 shows the TLS object diagram.

AddressFamily |
Enum |
2 |
RW |
Address family for route target. Default is ipv4_ipv6 0 = Ipv4 1 = Ipv6 2 = Ipv4_Ipv6 |
RtNumber for Sites and VPNs
Two RtNumber objects are automatically created whenever a VPN is created with the attribute CreateDefaultRTNumbers set to its default value of True. The attributes of the RT numbers are set according to whether the VPN's MplsVpnType attribute is HubAndSpoke, or FullMesh. The RT numbers represent the default VPN behavior, but may be altered by the user for different behavior. For example, in a hub and spoke VPN with several hubs, the hubs can be set to meshed or non-meshed by altering the RT number object's attributes.
Each RtNnumber object is given RtLowOrder and RtHighOrder values which are unique to the system. RtNumber objects also have three other attributes: HubBehaviour, SpokeBehaviour, and MeshBehaviour which can take one of four values: Import, Export, ImportExport, or None.
By default, one of the RtNumber objects has HubBehaviour set to ImportExport, SpokeBehaviour set to Import, and MeshBehaviour set to ImportExport. The other RtNumber has HubBehaviour set to Import, SpokeBehaviour set to Export, and MeshBehaviour set to None.
A site in a VPN can see another site if it imports an RtNumber that the other site exports.
If the VPN is fully meshed, then the MeshBehaviour attribute is used from the RtNumber objects. In the default case, the MeshBehaviour is to import and export the first RtNumber, so all the sites import and export the same RtNumber ensuring that all the sites are meshed.
If the VPN is hub and spoke, the hub sites use the HubBehaviour, and the Spoke sites use the SpokeBehaviour. In the default case, the hub sites import and export Rt1. The spoke sites import Rt1, so the spokes can see the sites. The hub sites also import Rt2, and the spoke sites export Rt2, so the hubs can see the sites. The spokes export Rt2, but do not import Rt2, so the spokes cannot see other spokes. The hubs export Rt1, and import Rt1 so the hubs can see other hubs.
One common customization is to make the hubs non-meshed so that hubs cannot see other hubs. To achieve that, change the hub behavior of Rt1 from ImportExport to Export. This means that the hubs do not import the same number that they export, so the hubs will not be able to see each other.
Site objects
A Site object has two types: VPN or Virtual CE.
The Site object has the following object inheritance:
Site.Object
A Site object of type VPN represents a physical Site defined by one or more devices and interfaces. PHB groups and rules can be defined at a site level to apply to devices and interfaces within the site or closely related (such as an interface providing the VPN connection). Rules applied at site level are lower priority than rules defined at the device level.
A Site object of type Virtual CE represents a physical Site defined by one or more interfaces from a single CE device. PHB groups and rules can be defined at a site level to apply to interfaces within the site or closely related (such as an interface providing the VPN connection). Rules applied at site level are lower priority than rules defined at the device level.
Figure 3-16 shows the Site object diagram.

Routing loops can occur if OSPF routes are passed between PEs in the same network and VPN. The VPN Route tag is one mechanism that can be used to prevent routing loops in multi-homed VPNs. |

SiteHub Object
A SiteHub object indicates that a site is a hub of a hub and spoke or management VPN. To make an existing site a hub site, create a SiteHub object as a child of the VPN with the same name as the site to be a hub. To make the site a spoke again, delete the SiteHub object.
The SiteHub object has the following object inheritance:
SiteHub.Object
See Figure 3-16 for the SiteHub object diagram.
Table 3-29 describes the attribute for the SiteHub object.
Table 3-29 SiteHub Object Attributes
Attribute Name | Type | Default | Access | Explanation |
---|---|---|---|---|
Name |
String |
[no default] |
RW |
Name of the site that is a hub in the parent VPN. |
SiteL2 Object
SiteL2 objects represent Layer 2 sites. Used when configuring Layer 2 connectivity services.
The SiteL2 object has the following object inheritance:
Tls.Object
For port-based TLS services (i.e. the ServiceType attribute is PortBased), each Layer 2 site can contain only PE interfaces, and if multiple interfaces are included in the TLS, they must be on the same PE devices. In the case of a port-based TLS, no VLAN will be created on any device and therefore none of the VLAN-related attributes on the SiteL2 objects will be used.
For port and VLAN-based TLS services (i.e. the ServiceType attribute is PortAndVlanBased), Layer 2 sites can contain also a CE/MTU device and both the CE port connecting the CE to the PE and the CE customer facing ports. The CE customer-facing ports must be assigned a role of Local, while the CE-to-PE port must be assigned a role of Access. Both the CE devices and its customer-facing interfaces must be linked to the site if the system is required to configure the CE/MTU. It is recommended that the CE port connecting the CE to the PE is also part of the site. Alternatively, the system will try and find an Access port on the CE device and consider that port as the port connecting the CE to PE.
It is important to note that the same physical interface (both on the PE and on the CE) can be part of multiple L2Site objects. In fact in the context of Layer 2 VPNs, trunk ports cannot be restricted to one customer only. Instead, physical ports can be part of multiple sites as long as the VLAN ID ranges installed on the same CE devices via different TLSs/Sites do not overlap. The EOM will validate that this is the case. It is important to note that this restriction will apply to CE/MTU devices only. In fact it is assumed that PE ports that are part of different PortAndVlan based TLSs.
The EOM also validates that all PE interfaces that are part of a SiteL2 object belong to the same PE device. In fact in the context of a TLS, this is the only meaningful configuration. No peering relationship will be established between PE devices whose interfaces are part of the same site.
The maximum speed specified for inbound and/or outbound rate limiting will be applied to the customer-facing ports in the L2Site. (Customer-facing ports are the PE Access Ports in those sites where there are no MTUs or the CE Local Ports in those sites that contain an MTU.) If this attribute is zero, no rate limiting is applied to the ports. If a port is part of multiple Layer 2 sites with conflicting rate limiting configuration, a warning will be raised.
Figure 3-17 shows the SiteL2 object diagram.
Table 3-30 describes the attributes for the SiteL2 object.

StaticRoute object
A StaticRoute object represents a static route defined for a VPN site (relevant if static routing is used between the PE and CE router). A StaticRoute object can be linked to an interface object that is a child of a site. If the interface is then unlinked from the site, the StaticRoute object will be deleted.
A StaticRoute object can only be created as a child of an interface that is linked to a site, but not linked to an interface.
The StaticRoute object has the following object inheritance:
StaticRoute.Object

Traffic Type Objects
A traffic type is a categorization of specific IP traffic on the network. Traffic types are used as components of rules to define the traffic to which a QoS or security policy is applied.
Table 3-33 shows the objects representing different traffic type categorization.
Table 3-33 Traffic Type Object
Object | Purpose |
---|---|
Traffic |
Abstract traffic object, for inheritance purposes. |
TrafficGroup |
Represents a group of traffic types, allowing traffic types to be organized into a hierarchical folder-like structure. Traffic type groups are for administrative purposes only; you cannot apply rules to them. |
TrafficCompound |
Represents a compound traffic type; a combination of two or more traffic types. |
TrafficMime |
Represents a MIME-based traffic type, which classifies traffic by MIME type and packet length. |
TrafficUrl |
Represents a URL-based traffic type, which classifies traffic by URL. |
TrafficPort |
Represents a port-based traffic type, which classifies traffic by IP port number and IP protocol. Both source and destination ports can be defined either as a single port or a range. |
TrafficApplication |
Represents an application protocol-based traffic type, which classifies traffic by application protocol name. |
TrafficSubApplication |
Represents a subapplication-based traffic type, which classifies traffic by subapplication name. |
TrafficPacketMarking |
Represents a Packet-Marking-based traffic type, which classifies traffic by DiffServ Codepoint/IP Precedence/MPLS Experimental bits/COS/COS Inner/QoS Group. |
TrafficDomainName |
Represents a domain name-based traffic type, which classifies traffic by DNS Domain Name. |
TrafficVlan |
Represents traffic based on the Layer 2 VLAN identification number. |
TrafficInputInterface |
Represents traffic based on the input interface or range of interfaces through which the traffic or IP packet enters |
Figure 3-19 shows the traffic type object diagram.
The most common way of classifying traffic is by port number and/or IP protocol, since almost all devices support this. Where supported by devices, it is also possible to identify traffic by packet marking, DNS domain name, application, sub-application, and MIME type or URL for HTTP traffic.
Traffic Object (Abstract)
A Traffic object is an abstract object that defines attributes common to all traffic types.
The abstract traffic object has the following object inheritance:
Traffic.Object
See Figure 3-19 for the Traffic object diagram.
Table 3-34 describes the attributes for the Traffic object.
Table 3-34 Traffic Object Attributes
Attribute Name | Type | Default | Access | Explanation |
---|---|---|---|---|
Name |
String |
[no default] |
RO/RC* |
Name of traffic object. |
Remarks |
String |
[no default] |
RO/RC* |
Optional additional comments. Limit of 255 characters. |
* Access is Read Only unless creating a TrafficUrl object, in which case access is Read/Create.
TrafficGroupObject
A TrafficGroup object represents a group [folder] of traffic types. This folder is an administrative entity only, allowing traffic types to be grouped together. These groupings appear in the tree hierarchy but cannot be selected as part of a rule.
The TrafficGroup object has the following object inheritance:
TrafficGroup.Traffic.Object
See Figure 3-19 for the TrafficGroup object diagram.
The TrafficGroup object has no additional attributes over the Traffic object (abstract).
TrafficCompound Object
A TrafficCompound object allows two or more traffic types to be combined, for example to identify traffic by port/IP protocol and by URL.
The TrafficCompound object has the following object inheritance:
TrafficCompound.Traffic.Object
See Figure 3-19 for the TrafficCompound object diagram.
Currently one of each basic type only is allowed. Certain combinations may not in fact make sense, but no restrictions are enforced. The traffic types linked to a TrafficCompound object are not visible via the EOM, but their values are shown as attributes of the TrafficCompound.
The TrafficCompound contains all the attributes of the other Traffic types, as described in Table 3-35.

RulePolicing Object
A policing rule is used to police identified traffic between a defined source and destination point. A rule defines the bandwidth and burst requirements for a given traffic type, between a source and destination, and the action to be taken if traffic conforms to or exceeds the requirements.
The RulePolicing object has the following object inheritance:
RulePolicing.Rule.Object
A Policing Rule is defined in terms of the following conditions and actions:
Conditions
-
Classifications: One or more Classification objects defining the traffic the rule should apply to in terms of source address/mask, destination address/mask and traffic type.
-
Date and time: Identified by Period
-
Direction: Identified by Outbound and Inbound attributes
Actions
-
Set CAR parameters: Committed Rate, Normal Burst Size and Excess Burst Size.
-
Traffic that conforms to or exceeds a specified bandwidth can be dropped, transmitted, or allowed to continue. In addition, you can choose to re-mark both conforming and exceeding traffic with a different packet marking.
For example,. the following command specifies that conforming traffic is to be transmitted and exceeding traffic is to be re-marked to Bronze:
Modify ConformAction="Transmit" ExceedAction="TransmitAndRemark" ExceedPacketMarking="Bronze"
If the actions are Drop or Transmit, then the corresponding packet marking has no effect and may be set to anything (including "").

Period Object
A Period object identifies the particular dates, times and/or days of the week when a rule is to apply. It can be a one-off period or a repeating time period. The period object can either be a globally-named template or a specific local definition of a date/time period.
The Period object has the following object inheritance:
Period.Object
The Period specifies (possibly contiguous) recurring spans of time of not more than 24 hours. Each span is the same length. The first span starts at the specified StartTime. The last span finishes at the specified EndTime. After the first span, subsequent spans start exactly 24 hours after the preceding one started. The length of the span is calculated such that the last span will end at the specified EndTime. Spans whose start day of the week in UTC corresponds to a zero bit in DaysOfWeek are dropped.

PHBGroup Objects
This section describes PHBGroup objects.
PHBGroup Object
The PHBGroup object represents a PHB group (an implementation of a specific queuing/shaping mechanism available at an interface).
The PHBGroup object has the following object inheritance:
PHBGroup.Object
Note:
Oracle Communications cannot guarantee compatibility of PHBGroup objects between different releases of IP Service Activator, unlike most other object types. We therefore strongly recommend that any client software you create encapsulates the data manipulated for PHBGroup objects. This ensures a maintainable code base and minimizes the effect of future changes.
The PHBGroup object is a resource-intensive object and we strongly recommend that you create only a limited number. Each PHBGroup object may be used by multiple PHBGroupInstance objects, effectively acting as a template.
Figure 3-29 shows the PHBGroup object diagram.
Table 3-60 describes the attributes for the PHBGroup object.

PHBGroupFolder Object
A PHBGroupFolder object represents a folder which contains PHBGroup objects, or other PHBGroupFolder objects, for purposes of organization within the GUI.
The PHBGroupFolder object has the following object inheritance:
PHBGroupFolder.Object
Figure 3-30 shows the PHBGroupFolder object diagram.
A PHBGroup always has either 1 or 2 parents and is always linked to its parent Domain. It may be linked to zero or one parent PHBGroupFolders. In the IP Service Activator GUI, if a PHBGroup has 2 parents, it will always be displayed under the PHBGroupFolder, not under the PHB Groups folder. If a PHBGroup is created under a folder, it is automatically linked to its parent Domain.
A PHBGroupFolder is a child of either another PHBGroupFolder or the Domain, but not both.

PHBGroupInstance Object
The PHBGroupInstance object represents a particular instance of a PHB group. It includes all the attributes of the domain level PHBGroup template and adds the ability to order them, allowing you to define the precedence in case of multiple PHB groups applied at one level.
The PHBGroupInstance object has the following object inheritance:
PHBGroupInstance.PHBGroup.Object
A PHBGroupInstance is created by the use command. If a PHBGroup is used on one of the PHBGroupInstance possible parents, then a PHBGroupInstance will automatically be created as a child of both the PHBGroup and the other object. For more information, see "The Use Command".

The Loopback ID value is used to create a loopback interface name by appending it to the name 'loopback'. For example, if the Loopback ID is 0, the loopback interface name created is 'loopback0'. When a device in this domain is discovered, a check is made to see if a loopback interface matching this text string exists. If it does, the IP address of the loopback interface is stored with the device information. Range: 0–4 294 967 295 Note: Any changes made to the default loopback ID for the domain, or for any devices, have no effect until the affected devices are re-discovered. Note that on Juniper M-series devices, the loopback ID must always be specified as 0 through the user interface. |

Interface Object
An Interface object represents an interface on the device. One object exists for each interface. These objects are created by reading the interface table of each device.
The Interface object has the following object inheritance:
Interface.Object
Some of the attributes on an Interface object are only meaningful when the Interface is linked as a child of a site object. The attributes cannot be modified when not linked to a site, and if the interface is unlinked from the site then the attributes will automatically be set to null values. The affected attributes are marked ‘Site Only' in Table 3-92.
Only attributes related to the selected routing protocol are displayed as part of the Interface attributes. For example, if the routing protocol for the site is set to EBGP, then only the EBGP-specific routing protocol attributes are displayed as part of the Interface attributes.
If the routing protocols set for the site include EBGP and if the site has more than one neighbor, the attributes for the first neighbor are displayed as part of the Interface attributes.
Figure 3-44 shows the Interface object diagram.

Port Object
The Port is used to represent an Interface IP address and CIDR mask (IPv4) or prefix length (IPv6). Port objects are typically created during device discovery. An Interface may have multiple associated Port objects, but only one Port object in each address family will be considered the primary, or default, Port for that interface. The primary IPv4 Port address, if present, appears in the Interface object as the IpAddr and SubnetMask attributes. The primary IPv6 Port address, if present, appears in the Interface object as the Ipv6Addr attribute.
Table 3-93 describes the attributes for the Port object.

OspfSummaryAddress Object
The OspfSummaryAddress is used to configure the advertising of OSPF routes for redistribution as a summary address. It is an aggregate list of addresses represented by a single IP address and subnet mask.
The use of summary addressing reduces the overhead incurred to manage the link-state database. Instead of advertising all OSPF routes encompassed by the summary address, a single summary route is advertised. The use of this configuration corresponds to the following command:
Router(config-router)# summary-address <ip-address mask> | <prefix-mask> [not-advertise] [tag <tag>]
Each interface in the list can be configured with a summary address list. The SuppressAdvertise attribute configures the site not to advertise the OSPF routes encompassed by the summary address and subnet mask. In other words, these routes are filtered out. This corresponds to the use of the not-advertise flag in the Cisco IOS command above.
The tag parameter is supported by the UseTag attribute.

EbgpNeighbour Object
The EbgpNeighbour object represents a single CE peer device when defining a CE-PE relationship during VPN configuration. A PE Interface object may be associated with one or more EbgpNeighbour objects when the interface is linked to a VPN Site object and the site routing protocol is defined as one of EBGP, EBGP_OSPF, EBGP_RIP, or EBGP_EIGRP. The EbgpNeighbour address must be in the same address family as one of the Interface private PE addresses. In other words, an IPv4 EbgpNeighbour must have a corresponding IPv4 private PE IP address and an IPv6 EbgpNeighbour must have a corresponding private PE IPv6 address. The attributes of the first EbgpNeighbour appear as attributes of the parent Interface object.
Table 3-98 describes the attributes for the EbgpNeighbour object.

SAP Object
The SAP (Service Application Point) object represents the application of a service on a device, without involving an interface. (Many services in IP Service Activator are modeled to be implemented on interfaces. However, some services can be implemented on devices as well, such as the Layer3 VPN Site.)
The SAP object has the following object inheritance:
SAP.Object
SAP objects are also used when interface-less VRFs are configured. The SAP (Service Application Point) object behaves similarly to an interface in this context, and provides a way of accessing and manipulating the VRF in the object model.
SAP objects are not visible in the GUI, but are accessible through the integration manager. When using the GUI, the creation of a SAP object occurs when a PE device is attached to a site. The device object icon is displayed in the Access Points folder under the Site to represent the SAP. However, no SAP objects are visible or accessible through the GUI.
You must perform explicit lifecycle management on the SAP objects you manipulate through the integration manager.
You cannot directly link a device into a VPN site using the OIM. Instead, you must create an SAP object under the Device and then link the SAP to the Site.
SAP objects acquire most Interface object attributes. Although they can be modified through the integration manager, attributes that are not relevant for SAP objects (e.g. attributes other than Name, Description and IsSAP) are ignored.
Figure 3-45 shows the SAP object diagram.
Table 3-99 describes the attributes for the SAP object.
Table 3-99 SAP Object Attributes
Attribute Name | Type | Default | Access | Explanation |
---|---|---|---|---|
Name |
String |
"" |
RC |
Name of SAP. |
Description |
String |
"" |
RC |
SNMP ifDescription. |
IsSAP |
Boolean |
True |
R |
True if this is a Service Application Point (SAP) object. |
Note:
The remainder of the fields for the SAP object are identical to those of the Interface object. Many of these, however, have no meaning in the context of the SAP, even though they can be set through the Integration Manager.
Creation and Deletion
SAP objects must be created under the appropriate device. At creation time, the SAP requires a Name. An optional Description can also be provided. A read-only boolean attribute IsSAP will be set to True (boolean) to indicate that the object is an SAP.
Unlike the GUI created SAPs, integration manager created SAPs have user-specified names.
Removal/deletion of the SAP object must be performed manually. A SAP object must be unlinked from all the services in which it participates. It can then be deleted in the context of the parent device.
Linking and Unlinking
After a SAP object is created, you can link it to services (such as a VPN site) in the same manner as an Interface object. SAP objects can also be parents to RoleInterface objects. A SAP object must have a child RoleInterface of type Access in order to participate in a VPN service.
To Create an Interface-less VRF
To create an interface-less VRF using the OIM, do the following:
-
Create the target VPN Site object under the appropriate customer.
-
Create a SAP object under the target device.
-
Link a RoleInterface of Access to the SAP object.
-
Link the SAP to the VPN site.
-
Modify the SAP attributes as required (for example, static route redistribution).
-
Modify the site attributes as required (for example, turn on static routing, specify the VRF name).
-
Link the Site into the VPN.
SubInterface Object
A SubInterface object represents a sub-interface on a device interface. One object exists for each sub-interface. Sub-interfaces are always linked to the parent interface. These objects are created by reading the interface table of each device.
The SubInterface object has the following object inheritance:
SubInterface.Interface.Object
See Figure 3-44 for the SubInterface object diagram.
The attributes for the SubInterface object are inherited from the Interface object. See Table 3-92.
CreationMarkerSubInt Object
A CreationMarkerSubInt object represents a with a PVC. When this object is created, a SubInterface and a VCEndPoint are created on the relevant device. When the object is deleted, the relevant interface gets removed.
The CreationMarkerSubInt object has the following object inheritance:
SubInterface.CreationMarkerSubInt.Object

SystemUserGroup Objects
This section describes the SystemUserGroup objects.
SystemUserGroup Object
The SystemUserGroup object is read only. The administrator must log into the GUI to create a system user group.
The SystemUserGroup object has the following object inheritance:
SystemUserGroup.Object
A system user group defines the access level that its members have within IP Service Activator. Every system user is a member of only one system user group. All users in the same system user group have the same access privileges.
A system user group can have one of the following access levels:
-
Super User: Users can access the user interface, view information and perform any operation. Only users with Super User access can set up other users and perform configuration tasks associated with the policy server.
-
Read Write: Users can access the user interface, view information, and create and/or modify objects. The operations that can be performed by group members depend on the permissions that are set for the group.
-
Read Only: Users can access the user interface and view objects but cannot create new or modify existing objects.
For system user groups with Read Write access, you can specify exactly which operations its members can perform. For example, you can specify that members cannot create new networks, but can discover new devices. These controls are referred to as permissions.

SystemUser Object
The SystemUser object is used to create new users and set security restrictions. System users are set up within a system user group. All users in the same system user group have the same access privileges. A user can be a member of only one group.
The SystemUser object has the following object inheritance:
SystemUser.SystemUserGroup.Object
Users with Super User access can set up new system users, specifying their user name and password details. It is possible to force users to change their passwords when they first log into IP Service Activator.
See Figure 3-62 for the SystemUser object diagram.
Table 3-122 describe the attributes for the SystemUser object.
Table 3-122 SystemUser Object Attributes
Attribute Name | Type | Default | Access | Explanation |
---|---|---|---|---|
Active |
U32 |
0 |
R |
This value indicates the number of concurrent sessions that the user is running. 0 indicates that the user is not currently logged on. |
Concurrent |
Boolean |
False |
RCW |
False prevents more than one concurrent logon by this user. |
Enabled |
Boolean |
True |
RCW |
False disables user logon. |
ExpireDate |
Date |
[date] |
R |
Password expiry date is calculated from the value entered for PasswordExpires. The default [date] is 30 days after the user is created. |
FailedLogins |
U32 |
0 |
R |
The number of failed logon attempts before the user is denied access (locked out). |
Name |
Secure |
none |
RCW |
Name of the user. |
Password |
String |
[no default] |
RCW |
User password string. |
PasswordExpires |
U32 |
30 |
RCW |
Number of days between password change and password expiry. A value of 0 means "password never expires". When login is blocked due to password expired, the user must log into the GUI and change the password. This will enable login to the OSS Integration Manager. |
Remarks |
String |
[no default] |
RCW |
Add any desired text. Limit of 255 characters. |
ResetPassword |
Boolean |
False |
RCW |
True requires the user to reset the password at initial logon. When this attribute is True (that is, when the password is expired), the user cannot log into the OSS Integration Manager. When login is blocked due to reset required by the system administrator, the user must log into the GUI and change the password. This will enable login to the OSS Integration Manager. |
Id |
U32 |
0 |
R |
A unique reference number for each object. |
