Mapping of data to topology instances

• It is assumed that the A-Router and Z-Router name specified in the data file exactly matches an object name in the topology. If it does not match an object in the topology, a search is executed with the information given. There is a performance cost for this search.

• If the A-Router-IF and Z-Router-IF fields begins with "IF-" or “PORT-” it is assumed that this is the actual instance name. For example, “IF-network:162.129.50.13:shlf-1:cdSt-1: card:dtrCdSt-3:dtrCd:port-15.” If the field does not begin with "IF-" or “PORT-”, the logic performs a search within IP to locate the related interface. There is a performance cost for this search.

• A-ONE and Z-ONE logic assumes that the data specified in the file exactly matches the instance name in OTM.

• For A-Router-IF and Z-Router-IF, it is expected that the interface or port specified is either a physical interface/port or an interface/port connected to a NetworkConnection or Cable with an underlying Optical Circuit.

• If the A-Router-IF and Z-Router-IF specified are physical, it is assumed that there is only one NetworkConnection or Cable between A-Router and Z-Router related to these physical interfaces or ports, unless connections are layered over each other. If NetworkConnections or Cables are LayeredOver each other, then the lowest level NetworkConnection or Cable will be used.

• If there are multiple layers of NetworkConnections or Cables between A-Router-IF and Z-Router-IF, it is assumed that the data will specify either the physical interface/port or the interface/port connected to the lowest (closest to the physical level) of NetworkConnection or Cable.

• If a Circuit name is not specified and CTP information is not specified, it is assumed that there is only one Circuit related to the PTP information (A-ONE-PTP and Z-ONE-PTP) provided.

• If A-ONE-PTP is specified, it is assumed that Z-ONE-PTP is also specified.

• If A-ONE-CTP is specified, it is assumed that Z-ONE-CTP is also specified.

• In WDM, the values in the following fields should belong to entity TransponderInOcnPort:

  • A-ONE-Rack, Z-ONE-Rack

  • A-ONE-Shelf, Z-ONE-Shelf

  • A-ONE-Slot, Z-ONE-Slot

  • A-ONE-SubSlot, Z-ONE-SubSlot

  • A-ONE-Port, Z-ONE-Port

    Note:

    CTP references are not applicable for WDM. The sub-slot field need not be populated and can be left blank.

• In WDM-NG, if Y-cable is configured, the client circuit will have two redundant paths represented as two ClientTrail instances in the WDM-NG topology. If a circuit is not specified then the end points specified (PTP/CTP) should correspond to any one of the paths.
