3.5.5 Moving an NE from One Network Partition to Another
Caution CTM cannot manage circuits across network partitions. Make sure that all connected NEs are managed under the same network partition.
Note Do not add SONET and SDH NEs in the same network partition.
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer tree, select File > Subnetwork Explorer. The Subnetwork Explorer opens.
Step 2 Identify the network partition ID:
a.In the Subnetwork Explorer tree, click the new network partition where you will move the NE.
b.In the Network Partition Properties pane, click the Identification tab.
Step 3 Identify the subnetwork(s) assigned to the new network partition.
Note A subnetwork can only be assigned to one network partition.
Step 4 In the Domain Explorer, click the NE to be moved. In the Network Element Properties pane, click the Address tab.
Step 5 Change the subnetwork ID to a subnetwork ID assigned to the new network partition. Choose from the list of subnetwork IDs; then, click OK.
Step 6 Click Save.
3.5.6 Automatically Grouping NEs in Subnetworks
Note An NE can be assigned to only one subnetwork.
CTM allows you to automatically group NEs in a subnetwork. When this feature is enabled, CTM automatically creates the subnetwork, which consists of NEs that are connected by topological links; you cannot change the subnetwork of the NE. This means that:
•When adding a new NE, the option to select the subnetwork ID is disabled. The Subnetwork ID field displays <System Default>.
•In the Address tab of the Domain Explorer > Network Element Properties pane, you cannot change the subnetwork ID.
•You cannot drag and drop NEs in the Subnetwork Explorer tree.
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer window, choose Administration > Control Panel and click UI Properties.
Step 2 In the Subnetwork Grouping area, check the Automatically Group NEs in Subnetworks check box.
