3.11.1.4 Creating a Manual Clock Source

To create a manual clock source:

Step 1 In the Domain Explorer, right-click the PNNI node from the Hierarchy pane and choose Configuration Center.

Step 2 Click the Elements tab to display the Configuration Window for Elements.

Step 3 Click the Clocking tab to display Clocking Configuration window.

Step 4 Choose Manual Clock Sources from the Category drop-down arrow.

Step 5 Click Create to display the Manual Clock Source Configuration Window.

Step 6 Choose one of the following clock source options from the Priority drop-down arrow:

•primary— Configures an available network clock source to be the primary manual clock source.

•secondary—Configures an available network clock source to be the secondary manual clock source.

•default—Configures an available network clock source to be the default manual clock source.

Step 7 Enter the index value that is used to identify the primary, secondary, or default manual clock source in the Clock Source Index field.

Step 8 Click Apply to create a manual clock source.

The following sections describe how to test server connectivity to an NE. Table 3-21explains the

 

 

difference between pinging an NE and testing NE connectivity.

Table 3-21

Testing NE Connectivity

 

 

 

Method

 

Description

 

 

 

Ping NE

 

Pinging the NE uses the standard UNIX ping command to verify IP connectivity between the CTM

 

 

server and an NE. If successful, the ping results include the NE’s IP address, round-trip time, and packet

 

 

loss statistics. A response of “Request timed out” means there was no response to the ping attempt. If

 

 

the ping is unsuccessful, verify that the NE’s IP address and SNMP settings are configured correctly.

 

 

 

Test NE

 

The Test NE Connectivity operation uses the appropriate management protocol (SNMP, TL1, or

connectivity

 

CORBA) to run the ping command to verify the server’s IP connectivity to an NE. If the ping is

 

 

successful, the Test NE Connectivity operation verifies that the management protocol is configured

 

 

correctly. The results show whether the connection state of the NE is Available or Unavailable. If

 

 

Available, the connection state of an NE is updated to Available in the CTM database. If the connection

 

 

state of an NE is listed as Unavailable, a connectivity or configuration problem exists. Complete the steps

 

 

in J.2.4 NE Connection State Is Listed as Unavailable, page J-5to resolve the problem and retest NE

 

 

connectivity.
