Note

Network partitions are groups of subnetworks or groups of NEs that are managed by the same NE service. Different network partitions mean different NE services. You can add, modify, or delete network partitions in the Subnetwork Explorer window.

CTM contains one network partition by default.

A single network partition for CTC-based NEs should contain fewer than 500 NEs. Multiple network partitions are required when managing more than 500 CTC-based NEs or when managing ANSI and ETSI devices in the same CTM domain.

When automatic subnetwork grouping is enabled while performing operations on a network partition, NE visibility might be affected. Wait for a few minutes while CTM arranges the NEs and subnetworks in the correct network partition. For more information on automatic subnetwork grouping, see

3.5.6 Automatically Grouping NEs in Subnetworks, page 3-24.
