Working with Logical Ports

To re-upload you need to upload the fabric and Service elements for that node. For more information, refer to the sections “Uploading the Fabric and Service Elements for a Node Object” and “Uploading the Fabric Elements for a Node Object” in this chapter.

Working with Logical Ports

ATM logical ports can be created, modified, and deleted from DSL physical ports.

Creating Logical Ports

When creating a Cisco 6100/6130 ATM Logical Port, select an available DSL physical port (one whose Interworking Model is set to None). This ensures that the selected physical port is not being used by other network models. Ensure that the Maximum Connections field is set to 4 or less and update the other fields (such as Name) as necessary. To create an ATM logical port, complete the following steps:

Step 1 From the Root Tree Viewer choose Network > Cisco NI1 DSLAM Network Name > Cisco NI1 DSLAM Node > Node Name > Cisco NI1 DSLAM ATM Logical Port.

Step 2 Click the Object Viewer button on the toolbar.

Step 3 Fill in the attribute fields with the required values. Ensure that the Maximum Connections field is set to four or less, and update other fields as necessary. You must select a physical port to which the logical port belongs.

Step 4 Save and apply the network object by clicking the Save and Apply buttons.

Note You must use the copy and paste mechanism when entering a value for the physical port that will contain the logical port. Manually entered physical port values are not supported.

Modifying Logical Ports

To modify an ATM logical port, complete the following steps:

Step 1 From the Root Tree Viewer choose Network > Cisco NI1 DSLAM Network Name > Cisco NI1 DSLAM Node > Node Name > Cisco NI1 DSLAM ATM Logical Port > Logical Port name.

Step 2 Click the Object Viewer button on the toolbar.

Step 3 Click the field(s) containing the attribute you want to modify and enter a new value.

Step 4 Save and apply the network object by clicking the Save and Apply buttons.

NI-1 specifications

Cisco Systems NI-1, a network infrastructure platform, is designed to address the evolving demands of modern digital networks. As enterprises increasingly rely on cloud services and IoT devices, Cisco has engineered the NI-1 to be adaptive, scalable, and secure, thereby enhancing overall network efficiency.

One of the standout features of the Cisco NI-1 is its robust support for Software Defined Networking (SDN). This technology allows for centralized control of the network, enabling administrators to manage policies and configurations more effectively. The NI-1 facilitates rapid deployment of new applications and services while streamlining network operations. Its SDN capabilities empower organizations to transform their networks into agile and responsive infrastructures.

Another significant aspect of the NI-1 is its integration with Cisco’s Intent-Based Networking (IBN) solution. This technology uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate network management tasks such as configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. As a result, network teams can allocate resources quickly and address issues proactively, significantly reducing downtime and enhancing performance.

Security is also a major emphasis for the NI-1. The platform incorporates advanced security features, including end-to-end encryption, secure segmentation, and threat detection, ensuring that sensitive data flowing through the network remains protected. Cisco's security protocols seamlessly integrate with the NI-1, helping organizations to safeguard their digital assets against emerging threats.

In terms of scalability, the NI-1 is built to grow alongside an enterprise’s needs. With its modular architecture, businesses can easily expand their network capabilities by adding components as required. This flexibility is vital in today’s environment, where organizations may rapidly increase their network capacity or incorporate new technologies.

Moreover, the NI-1 supports a wide range of connectivity options, including Ethernet, wireless, and fiber, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure. Its modular design allows for easy upgrades, keeping the network current with technological advancements.

In conclusion, Cisco Systems NI-1 stands as a comprehensive solution to modern networking challenges. With its emphasis on SDN, IBN, advanced security measures, and flexibility, it positions businesses to thrive in an increasingly connected world. As companies continue to evolve in their digital transformation efforts, the NI-1 provides the necessary tools to enhance their operational efficiency and security.
