Configuring PNNI Nodes 341

Set Node Level Updates the current node level. The node level is the hierarchy level of the peer group to which it belongs. For more information, see “Organizing a Network Hierarchy” on page 183 in the Operations Guide. A change to the node level takes place after the next reboot.

It is important not to split ELANs between groups when constructing the network hierarchy.

There are several PNNI operations in the LMA that can only be performed when the node administrative status is set to DOWN, and that take effect immediately after the status is reset to UP. These include updating the ATM address, updating the PNNI node id and updating the node level.For more information, see “Set Node Administrative Status to DOWN” on page 338.
