How do I associate a workflow with a node, link, or LSP?

Associating workflows

This procedure is used to associate workflows with nodes, links, or LSPs in the NSP's path control views.

Note: Workflow definitions must include the “IP/MPLS Optimization” tag in order to be eligible for association with a node, link, or LSP in the NSP's path control views.

Workflows must contain the following inputs:

  • payload - includes maintenance mode, which is defined using NSP's path control function. NSP's path control function uses system configuration to set this field to either 'AUTOMATIC' or 'MANUAL'.

  • token_auth

  • rest_gateway_host - hard-coded in workflow definition. IP address of NSP REST server.

  • status - hard-coded in workflow definition. Valid options: 'MAINTENANCE', 'UP'. Applicable only to node workflows.

The following is an example of required workflow tags and inputs - in this case, for placing a node into maintenance mode:

nodeIntoMaint:

type: direct

tags:

- IP/MPLS Optimization

input:

- token_auth

- payload

- rest_gateway_host: 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'

- status: 'MAINTENANCE'

  1. From the Path Control, Network Map view, select a node or link from the map, then click More png4.png, Show workflows.

  2. From the Path Control, Routers view, click on the Show workflows button in-line with any node.

  3. From the Path Control, Links view, click on the Show workflows button in-line with any link.

  4. From the Path control, LSPs view, click on the Show workflows button in-line with any LSP.
