To configure rule-based groups

Purpose

Perform this procedure to create or modify a rule-based group that defines which NEs are part of the tunnel group.

Steps
 

Choose Policies→Auto Tunnels→Rule-Based Groups from the NFM-P main menu. The Rule-Based Groups form opens.


Click Create and choose Rule-Based NE Group, or choose an entry and click Properties. The Rule-Based NE Group (Create|Edit) form opens.


Configure the required general parameters.

The Order parameter is configurable only during group creation.


If you are creating a new group, click Apply to save the configuration and create the group. The Group Members tab becomes available.


Click on the Group Members tab.


If you are configuring member NEs for an unordered group, perform the following. Otherwise, go to Step 7.

  1. To delete existing member NEs, select the required NEs and click Delete.

  2. To add member NEs, click Create. The Select Network Elements form opens.

  3. Select the required NEs and click OK.

  4. Go to Step 8.


To configure member NEs for an ordered group, perform any of the following:

  1. To delete existing member NEs, select the required NEs and click Delete.

  2. Add NEs in sequence.

    1. Click Create. The Select Network Elements form opens.

    2. Choose an NE and click OK.

    Add the NEs one at a time, in the required order.

    The order of NEs is shown in the Position in Group column on the Group Members tab. Position in Group is based on the sequence in which you add the NEs.

  3. Insert an NE at a selected position in the group.

    1. Select a Position in Group in the list on the Group Members tab.

    2. Click Insert. The Select Network Elements form opens.

    3. Choose an NE and click OK. The NE is inserted in the list on the Group Members tab, at the position selected. From that position, existing members are displaced by one position.


Save your changes and close the form.
