3.1Overview

The CTM management domain is the top-level root node in the Domain Explorer tree. The management domain contains NEs and groups of NEs. You can add, delete, and modify the following network components:

Groups—Collection of groups or collection of NEs. NEs are often grouped geographically or by domain.

Network Partitions—Logical segment of NEs (grouped in subnetworks) in which NEs of the same model type are managed by a single NE service.

Subnetworks—Sets of NEs interconnected at a specific network layer (such as physical, section, line, and so on). Subnetworks are contained within network partitions. NEs must belong to the same subnetwork in order to create circuits between them.
