Provision ENNI port control plane parameters

Procedure 9-11.3: Provision ENNI port control plane parameters

Overview

Use this procedure to provision the ENNI port control plane parameters.

Other port parameters may need to be provisioned first before the control plane parameters. Refer to Chapter 4, Install and provision circuit packs/OLIUs procedures.

Requests to change Port Class from Traditional to ENNI are denied if any of the following conditions are true:

There is a loopback on the port.
There are cross-connections on the port
There is a test access connection on the port.
The port is not a 0x1 or 1+1 port.
The following node level parameters have not been provisioned (still set to their initial value):
- Node ID (nodeid)
- SCN IP Address (scnipaddr)
- Signalling Protocol Controller ID (spcid)
The ENNI port parameters are not provisioned.

Requests to change Port Class from Edge to ENNI are denied. Edge ports can only be changed to Traditional ports.

Provisioning restrictions on ENNI ports:

The following parameters cannot be provisioned if there is an existing connection on the port or bandwidth on the port is reserved due to a pending connection:
- Link local identiﬁer (logportid)
- Link remote identiﬁer (linkremid)
- Remote node ID (remnid)
- Remote signaling protocol controller identiﬁer (remspcid)
- Remote routing controller identiﬁer (remrcid)
Test access connections are not allowed
Loopbacks are only allowed when portcontrol=LOCKOUT

Steps

Complete the following steps to provision the ENNI port control plane parameters.


1	Use the `ent-cport-rr` TL1 command to provision the parameters, or select Configuration → Equipment from the System View menu. Select (highlight) the port being provisioned, then click Select.
2	Click the Control Plane tab. Select `ENNI` as the Port Class for the port being provisioned. The port class selects the role of the port. Traditional — Traditional port (not a control plane port). Connections on TRADITIONAL ports can only be provisioned with `ent`/`dlt-crs`. ENNI — Control plane ENNI port. Connections on ENNI ports can only be provisioned with `ent`/`dlt-conn`. Edge — Control plane EDGE/Drop port. Connections on EDGE ports can be provisioned with `ent`/`dlt-conn` and `ent`/`dlt-crs`.
3	Provision ENNI port parameters from your work instructions. Refer to Table 9-2, ENT-CPORT-RR ENNI port parameters. End of steps

ENNI port parameters

Table 9-2, ENT-CPORT-RR ENNI port parameters lists the provisionable parameters for an Edge port:

Table 9-2: ENT-CPORT-RR ENNI port parameters

Parameter	Description
Local Parameters
linkmetric	Link Metric/Cost. Linkmetric specifies the link cost for traffic engineering purposes. Its value is used to indicate the relative desirability of a particular link over another during path selection/computation procedures. A lower value indicates a higher desirability. Value is an integer in the range from 1 to 65535. One (1) is the initial value if linkmetric is not specified when changing portclass to ENNI.
logportid	Logical Port ID. Logical Port Identifies an integer that identifies the local logical port. It is a required parameter when changing portclass to EDGE or ENNI. Value is an integer in the range from 1 to 4294967295.
portcontrol	Port Control. Port control specifies whether or not a control plane port supports additional control plane connections. Values: NORMAL — Port is allowed to support control plane connections. This is the initial value if portcontrol is not specified when changing portclass to EDGE or ENNI. LOCKOUT — Port is prohibited from supporting additional control plane connections. Removal of connections is supported.
Remote Parameters
remtid	Remote TID. Remote Node Target Identifier is the TID of the node to which the downstream ENNI port belongs. It is a required parameter when changing portclass to ENNI.
remnid	Remote Node ID. Remote Node Identifier is an IPv4 formatted identifier of the remote node, consisting of four dot-separated integers ranging from 0 to 255. For example, 10.10.10.10. It is a required parameter when changing portclass to ENNI.
remlogportid	Remote Logical Port ID. Remote Logical Port Identifier is an integer that identifies the remote port at the other end of the link. It is a required parameter when changing portclass to ENNI. Value is an integer in the range from 1 to 4294967295.
remrcid	Remote Routing Controller ID. Remote Routing Controller Identifier is an IPv4 formatted identifier of the remote routing protocol controller, consisting of four dot-separated integers ranging from 0 to 255. For example, 10.10.10.10. It is a required parameter when changing portclass to ENNI.
remspcid	Remote Signaling Protocol Controller ID. Remote Signaling Protocol Controller Identifier is an IPv4 formatted identifier of the remote signaling protocol controller, consisting of four dot-separated integers ranging from 0 to 255. For example, 220.10.10.10. It is a required parameter when changing portclass to ENNI.
remspcscn	Remote Signaling Protocol Controller SCN Address. Remote Signaling Protocol Controller SCN Address is an IPv4 formatted SCN address of the remote signaling protocol controller, consisting of four dot-separated integers ranging from 0 to 255. For example, 220.10.10.10. It is a required parameter when changing portclass to ENNI.
