Provision system level node parameters

Procedure 9-11.1: Provision system level node parameters

Overview

Use this procedure to view and provision the E-NNI system level edge node parameters at each of the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend edge nodes.

The following parameters cannot be provisioned if there is an existing control plane connection on any Edge or ENNI port, or bandwidth on an Edge or ENNI port is reserved due to a pending connection:

Node ID (nodeid)
Signaling protocol controller identiﬁer (spcid)
Routing Area (RA) ID (raid)
Routing Controller (RC) ID (rcid)
Remote Routing Controller (RC) ID (remrcid)

Steps

Complete the following steps to configure system level node parameters.

From the System View menu, select Configuration → Equipment. Enter AID system (highlight DMXtend then click Select.

Select the ENNI tab. From your work instructions, provision the parameters as required. Click Apply to make your changes, then click Close to exit.

Parameters:

Node ID (nodeid) — Identiﬁes the local node in the transport topology. It has an IPv4 address format which consists of four dot-separated decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 255. The initial value is 0.0.0.0, indicating an unprovisioned value. The value of 0.0.0.0 can be used to delete a previously provisioned Node ID. TL1 command: ent-node-enni.
Signaling Protocol Controller ID (spcid) — Identiﬁes the local signaling protocol controller that maintains signaling relationships with its downstream or upstream E-NNI peer. It has an IPv4 address format which consists of four dot-separated decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 255. The initial value is 0.0.0.0, indicating an unprovisioned value. The value of 0.0.0.0 can be used to delete a previously provisioned signaling protocol controller identiﬁer. TL1 command: ent-node-enni.
SCN IP Address (scnipaddr) — An IPv4 address for the local node, which is used as either signaling protocol controller SCN address, routing controller SCN address or both. It has an IPv4 address format which consists of four dot-separated decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 255. The initial value is 0.0.0.0, indicating an unprovisioned value. The value of 0.0.0.0 can be used to delete a previously provisioned SCN IP address. TL1 command: ent-node-enni.
Routing Controller (l1routing) — Enables/disables the local node as E-NNI Level 1 Routing Controller. Valid values are ENABLED or DISABLED. The initial value is DISABLED. To enable a node as Level 1 Routing Controller, the Routing Controller ID, Routing Area ID, and SCN IP Address have to be provisioned first. TL1 command: ent-node-enni.
Routing Controller ID (rcid) — Identiﬁer for the local E-NNI Level 1 RC, which is used as OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) Router ID. It has an IPv4 address format which consists of four dot-separated decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 255. The initial value is 0.0.0.0, indicating an unprovisioned value. The value of 0.0.0.0 can be used to delete a previously provisioned RC ID. TL1 command: ent-node-enni.
Routing Area ID (raid) — An OSPF routing area for the local E-NNI Level 1 RC. It has an IPv4 address format which consists of four dot-separated decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 255. The initial value is 0.0.0.0, indicating an unprovisioned value. The value of 0.0.0.0 can be used to delete a previously routing area ID. TL1 command: ent-node-enni.
Remote Routing Controller ID (remrcid) — The routing controller ID of neighboring routing controller. It has an IPv4 address format which consists of four dot separated decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 255. The value 0.0.0.0 is invalid. More than one neighbor can be provisioned by executing the command multiple times. A maximum of 20 neighbors can be provisioned. TL1 command: ent-rc-neighbor.
Remote RC SCN IP Address (remrcscn) — Remote Routing Controller SCN IP address. The SCN IP address of a neighboring routing controller. It has an IPv4 address format which consists of four dot-separated decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 255. The value 0.0.0.0 is invalid. When an existing remote RC ID, but different remote RC SCN IP address is entered, the command treats it as a modiﬁcation to the remote RC SCN IP address. TL1 command: ent-rc-neighbor.
