Notes:

1. In addition to the installation options in the table, the Service Activation and Configuration feature package also enables support of Service Manager features in classic management, which is deployed as an ancillary component and has no associated NSP installation option.

2. See the NSP Network Automation Guide for more information.

3. It is recommended that the networkInfrastructureManagement-igpTopology installation option is not deployed in conjunction with any of the following installation options: serviceActivationAndConfiguration-originalServiceFulfillment, controlAndVisualizationStarter, pathControlAndOptimization, or enhancedOptimization. The functions of these installation options will supersede those of networkInfrastructureManagement-igpTopology.
