The present invention relates to a method of configuring at least one user-specific connection between access points of a transmission network, particularly of a highly available network, which are connectable to user-located network devices. The invention further relates to a server of a network management system therefor, to a management module for a server of a network management system therefor, to a configuration tool therefor, and to a configuration module for a configuration tool therefor. The method comprises the steps of: determining network data about network devices of the transmission network and about links between these network devices via which the at least one user-specific connection can be established; generating planning data for a representation of the transmission network, on the basis of which at least one availability criterion of the network devices and/or of the links is determinable; and providing planning data for a configuration tool for configuring the at least one connection, the configuration tool being capable of generating the representation on the basis of the planning data.
A method of configuring at least one user-specific connection between access points of a transmission network, particularly a highly available network, which are connectable to user-located network devices, the method comprising the steps of:
A server of a network management system for configuring at least one user-specific connection between access points of a transmission network, particularly of a highly available network, which are connectable to user-located located network devices, the server comprising means for carrying out steps of:
A management module for a server of a network management system for configuring at least one user-specific connection between access points of a transmission network, particularly of a highly-available network, which are connectable to user-located network devices, the management module) containing program code executable by control means of the server, the server performing the following functions in executing the program code:
A configuration tool, particularly a configuration computer, for configuring at least one user-specific connection between access points of a transmission network, particularly of a highly available network, which are connectable to user-located network devices , the configuration tool comprising means for displaying a graphical representation of the transmission network on the basis of planning data about network devices of the transmission network and about links between these network devices via which the at least one user-specific connection can be established, the graphical representation containing the visualization of at least one availability criterion of the network devices and/or links.
A configuration module for a configuration tool, particularly for a configuration computer, containing program code executable by control means of the configuration tool, the configuration tool displaying, during the execution of the program code, a graphical representation of the transmission network on the basis of planning data about network devices of the transmission networkand about links between these network devices via which the at least one user-specific connection can be established, the graphical representation containing the visualization of at least one availability criterion of the network devices and/or links.
