How do I automatically discover cross-domain links?

Automatic discovery identifies potential cross-domain links by analyzing LLDP information or traffic-pattern correlations between router and optical ports. Discovery produces candidate CDLs that can be reviewed and committed.

 
1 

Open IP/Optical Coordination, Cross Domain Link.

2 

Click the Discover Cross Domain Links icon. The Discover Cross Domain Links form opens.

3 

Specify one of more LLDP discovery methods.

4 

Choose a Context Type and, if required, select one or more Discovery Targets from the displayed list.

5 

Click Start and monitor the Discovery Progress until completion. Close the Discover Cross Domain Links form.

6 

As required, perform How do I delete cross-domain links? to delete a cross-domain link.

7 

As required, click Commit png16.png inline with any discovered cross-domain link to commit that link.

Note: You can auto commit cross-domain links also. See How do I automatically commit cross-domain links? to auto commit cross-domain links.

Note: In a scenario where IP/Optical Coordination was added to an existing NSP deployment, cross-domain links may have been provisioned previously using NFM-P or NSP. A REST API call can be used to migrate these links from the common NSP store to IP/Optical Coordination.
