How do I change default text-field and ID ranges?
Format and range policies overview
You can use NFM-P format policies and range policies to change the default number and format of characters used for text fields, and the ID ranges used for managed objects.
Format and range policies
Format policies manage how services, policies, LSPs, and L2 and L3 access interfaces are named and described. Range policies manage the ID values that are assigned to services, policies, LSPs, and L2 and L3 access interfaces. For example, you can configure the following:
-
a range policy that specifies a range of 200 to 499 for service IDs
-
a format policy that specifies a 15-character limit for service names
The object creation form indicates when a range or format policy is in effect for an object.
Format and range policies are not distributed to NEs. The format and range policies apply only to GUI creation of services, policies, LSPs, and L2 and L3 access interfaces. You cannot configure format and range policies when the services, LSPs, and L2 and L3 access interfaces are created using templates. However, the NFM-P allows an operator to use preconfigured examples of LSPs and services that have format and range policies applied to them. You can use the examples to create templates.
See How do I create or configure a format policy? for information about configuring a format policy.
See How do I create or configure a range policy? for information about configuring a range policy.
The following table lists the objects and associated parameters that can be managed using format and range policies.
