Nokia Altiplano Northbound API

Course number: FN00204
Course duration: 4 days
Price: €3,200

Course overview


This training explains how to use the Altiplano Northbound Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to configure and collect information from an Altiplano-managed Fixed Access Network.

Students learn the APIs that can be used by an Operational Support System (OSS) or client application to interact with the Altiplano.  Students use RESTCONF and the REST APIs to interact with the Altiplano Access Controller (AC) and Network Virtualizer (NV).  Explore the RESTCONF API calls that interact with the Altiplano Intent-Based Network (IBN) application to define the intended operation of Lightspan OLTs, ONTs, and subscriber services. Discover the APIs used to subscribe to Kafka notifications, view alarm and event history, and logs using OpenSearch, as well as view historical counters and state information using OpenTSDB.

Students learn how to use Altiplano’s Northbound Interface (NBI) to select counters collected for performance monitoring and perform live and bulk statistics collection from the devices.  

Network Administrators and Operators learn to use the NBI to manage the Network Virtualizer, configure devices, manage licenses on the Network Virtualizer and Controller, and import blueprints and device-plugins.

Hands-on labs allow students to use Altiplano to practice learning on a simulated access network.

Course objectives

After completing the course, students should be able to:

 

  • Identify the role of the Altiplano Controller, Network Virtualizer, Kafka, OpenTSDB, OpenSearch, Prometheus, and Keycloak.
  • Retrieve and interpret YANG models used to manage Altiplano
  • Use NETCONF to program Altiplano and filter requested information
  • Use RESTCONF to program Altiplano and filter requested information
  • Program Lightspan devices and subscriber services using intent-based networking
  • Describe how profiles and profile types are used by the IBN and managed by the NBI
  • Use the NBI, to view the health and topology information of devices managed by an Intent
  • Program the counters to be collected by Bulk or Live Collection  
  • Retrieve Bulk and Live Collection counters from OpenTSDB
  • Program threshold crossing alarms for Bulk and Live Collection.
  • Identify where either “collected” or “up-to-date” Inventory Management data is stored for retrieval using the NBI
  • Manage events, alarms, and logs using the NBI
  • Subscribe to Notifications using either the Kafka API or the Altiplano NBI
  • Use the API to retrieve events, alarms, and logged information from OpenSearch
  • Perform tasks like license renewal and device configurations using the NBI
