NETIKS NMS & OFC Ring Monitoring Solution
An industry-grade centralized remote monitoring, diagnostics, and optical fiber network platform. Powered by WireGuard outbound tunneling, SNMP polling, automated fiber cut failover detection, and a 3-layer security defense model.
Purpose-Built Remote Infrastructure & Optical Fiber Management
Exposing network equipment management ports to the public Internet or maintaining open firewall holes invites severe security vulnerabilities. NETIKS NMS solves this with an outbound-tunnel architecture built on WireGuard, enabling enterprise-level telemetry behind CGNAT without port-forwarding.
Zero-Exposure Outbound Tunnel
Monitored switches, servers, and OLTs originate encrypted UDP WireGuard tunnels to the central server. No public IPs or open inbound management ports required.
Real-Time OFC Ring Mapping
Automatic physical and logical fiber ring pathway mapping. Pinpoints broken fiber links in seconds, automatically triggers alternate route alerts, and records precise downtime logs.
Multi-Channel Alarm Notifications
Dedicated Windows/macOS desktop tray client with audible alarms and visual popups, plus WebSocket web streaming and email alerts for instant operational awareness.
Client Requirements vs. NETIKS NMS Solution Mapping
Detailed mapping demonstrating 100% architectural satisfaction for V&A Ventures and enterprise network specifications.
OFC & Multi-Device Monitoring
"Monitoring of OFC network along with networking devices such as switches, servers, converters, etc."
Full multi-vendor support for managed L2/L3 switches (Cisco, Mikrotik, Juniper, Huawei), physical Linux/Windows servers (via native daemon/SNMP), media converters, and OLTs. Visual status indicators (UP/DOWN) mapped directly onto the live topology.
Port-Level Detail Tracking & Bandwidth Rates
"Monitoring of devices with details including IP address, connectivity status, and data rate of each connected network port."
Maintains an active registry of IP addresses, interface operational status, and duplex speed. Periodically polls Rx/Tx byte counters per-port using high-performance socket operations and SNMP polling, rendered live with interactive WebSocket charts.
Desktop Alarm Notifications & Audible Alerts
"Desktop/PC based alarm notifications for network and device failures."
Lightweight native desktop tray application for Windows and macOS. Maintains persistent WebSocket heartbeat to central server. Triggers instant desktop OS popups and customizable audible siren alerts for critical node outages and OFC breaks.
3-Layer Security & Encrypted Communication
"Secure communication with key infrastructure support, authentication, and access control. Platform-independent with 3-layer security."
Multi-tiered isolation model: 1) WireGuard cryptographic VPN tunnels over 10.200.0.0/24, 2) Hardened device ACL firewalls allowing traffic only from 10.200.0.1, and 3) Web console RBAC with rotating JWT authentication and TLS encryption.
Protocol Support (TCP/IP, SNMP, UDP)
"Support for TCP/IP, SNMP, and UDP protocols."
Operates natively over dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 networks. Utilizes SNMP (v1, v2c, v3) for pulling detailed interface metrics, UDP-based cryptographic WireGuard endpoints for secure transport, and low-latency TCP sockets for console streaming.
Fiber Ring Topology & Downtime Logging
"Fiber optic monitoring with ring topology support, alarm generation, and maintenance of up/down time logs."
Dynamic visualization of physical and logical ring pathways. Instantly highlights fiber cut locations between adjacent switches, triggers audible alarm popups, and retains permanent, timestamped uptime/downtime compliance logs.
The Three-Layer Security Defense Structure
Why expose network management APIs to the public Internet? NETIKS NMS enforces complete isolation across transport, network, and application layers.
WireGuard Private Tunnel
No inbound API ports (8728, 22, 161) are opened publicly. Each device initiates an encrypted outbound tunnel to the NMS core. All polling and commands traverse strictly across the isolated 10.200.0.0/24 subnet.
Access Control Firewalls (ACL)
Switches and edge nodes are provisioned with local firewall rules dropping any packets originating outside the gateway IP (10.200.0.1). Unauthorized connection attempts from local subnets are rejected immediately.
Application RBAC & JWT Rotation
The central console strictly enforces granular Role-Based Access Control. Operator sessions are validated with cryptographically signed JSON Web Tokens (JWT) with automatic refresh rotation, keeping administrative settings isolated.
OFC Ring Topology Monitoring & Instant Failover Detection
Interactive simulation of optical fiber ring pathways. Experience how NETIKS detects fiber breaks, recalculates redundant pathways, and raises desktop alarms in real time.
Optical Fiber Ring: Normal Closed Loop
Traffic flowing seamlessly in redundant bi-directional ring across all switches.
