    • Use the Service Graph Connector for Nokia NSP to map discovered physical and logical network resources to telecom-aligned Configuration Item (CI) classes in the CMDB. The connector supports consistent service modeling, visibility into chassis-level components, and automation of logical and physical relationships.

    To confirm accurate CI classification and insertion, the connector uses the Robust Transform Engine (RTE) and Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE).

    The connector classifies and relates discovered CIs using telecom-specific models based on device type, function, and chassis structure. This helps maintain a clean and normalized CMDB across vendors. Discovered model names from Nokia NSP are automatically transformed into ServiceNow standard model identifiers and categories for slot and subslot components.

    CI mapping and relationships

    The following tables describe how NSP CIs are represented in the CMDB and how they relate to each other across physical and logical layers.
    Tabelle : 1. CMDB CI Mapping and Relationships (Physical Layer)
    CI Type CMDB Table Description and Relationships
    IP Router CI cmdb_ci_ip_router Represents the IP Router device. Contained by Network Topology.Contains Slot CIs and Logical Network Interface CIs.
    Slot CI Slot CIcmdb_ci_container_slot Represents main chassis slots. Contained by IP Router CIs. Contains Interface Card CIs.
    Subslot CI cmdb_ci_container_subslot Represents sub components within interface. Contained by interface cards. Contains transceiver and sub card CIs.
    Interface Card CI cmdb_ci_interface_card Represents interface cards, transceivers, and control units. Can contain subslots and network interfaces.
    Network Interface CI cmdb_ci_ni_interface Represents both physical (for example, Ethernet) and logical (for example, ENET) ports. Contained by interface cards or IP Router CIs. Logical ports are related to physical ports using Members::Member of.
    Logical Connection CI cmdb_ci_ni_logical_path Represents logical paths such as ENET or LAG. Defined with Port A and Port Z attributes referencing terminating Network Interface CIs.
    IP Address CI cmdb_ci_ip_address Represents discovered IP addresses for IP Routers. Owned by the corresponding IP Router CI.
    Network Topology cmdb_ci_network_topology Represents network topology. Contains IP Routers and Logical Connections
