Configurable properties in CiscoWanManagerExtension

The CiscoWanManagerExtension extension contains various configurable parameters, all of which are Boolean. See Table 6 for further details.

Property

Property Description

 

 

DeleteNEOnDiscoveryFailure

Determines how a missing NE is handled in the latest

 

discovery.

 

The default value is "false".

 

If the value is set to "false", the NEs missing from

 

the latest discovery will be retained in the database.

 

The GUI will display this element as a green icon.

 

If the value is set to "true", the NEs present in the

 

first discovery will be deleted if they are missing

 

from the latest discovery.

 

 

facility.createVirtualCard

Determines the behavior when the card is missing for

 

new PTPs.

 

The default value is "true".

 

If the value is set to "true", the PTPs reported as not

 

having a parent card will have one virtual parent

 

card created for them.

 

If the value is set to "false", the PTPs reported as

 

not having a parent card will not be created.

 

 

connection.topoconnection.

Determines the behavior when the physical

createVirtualEndPoint

termination point (PTP) is missing for new

 

topological connections.

 

The default value is "true".

 

If the value is set to "true", the missing PTPs will be

 

created as a virtual end points. These end points will

 

then be used to create the topological connections.

 

If the setting is set to "false", the missing

 

topological connections will not be created.

 

 

connection.subnetworkconnection.

Determines the behavior when the PTP is missing, to

createVirtualEndPoint

create connection termination points (CTPs) before

 

creating a newly discovered sub network connection.

 

The default value is "true".

 

If the value is set to "true", the missing PTPs will be

 

created as a virtual end points. These end points will

 

then be used to create the sub network connections

 

and associated parents up to card level.

 

If the value is set to "false", neither the virtual end

 

points, the missing sub network connections, nor the

 

associated parents will be created.
