Working with Ethernet Flow Point Cross-Connects
Prime Network Vision automatically discovers Ethernet flow point (EFP) cross-connects, also known as
locally switched EFPs. Prime Network Vision also identifies changes in already identified EFP
cross-connects, such as cross-connect deletions or changes. Cross-connect chan ges can occur when one
side of the cross-connect is removed or replaced.
Prime Network Vision also associates the VLANs that contain the EFPs that are part of the
cross-connects. If the cross-connect contains a range EFP, which represents a range of VLANs, and you
add the related VLANs to a map, Prime Network Vision displays the links between them and the
cross-connect as well.
Prime Network Vision enables you to add EFP cross-connects to maps and to view their properties in
inventory, as described in the following topics:
• Adding EFP Cross-Connects, page 12-76
• Viewing EFP Cross-Connect Properties, page 12-76
