Chapter 3 Building the Network

3.4.2 Moving Subnetworks

Note The Add New Subnetwork feature is not available for users with the Assign NEs property (Provisioner, Operator, and custom user profiles) because they cannot see the entire domain.

3.4.2 Moving Subnetworks

A subnetwork can be moved from one network partition to another if there are no routable links among the NEs that belong to that subnetwork and if automatic subnetwork grouping is disabled. (For information about automatic subnetwork grouping, see 3.5.6 Automatically Grouping NEs in Subnetworks, page 3-24.)

Step 1 In the Domain Explorer window, choose File > Subnetwork Explorer.

Step 2 In the Subnetwork Explorer tree, select the subnetwork to be moved.

Step 3 Use the mouse to drag and drop the selected subnetwork to a new network partition.

3.4.3 Deleting Subnetworks

Step 1 In the Domain Explorer window, choose File > Subnetwork Explorer.

Step 2 In the Subnetwork Explorer tree, click the subnetwork that will be deleted.

Note Only an empty subnetwork can be deleted. An empty subnetwork is one that does not contain any NEs or deleted NEs. Trying to delete a subnetwork that contains deleted NEs will generate the error message: “Selected subnetwork has some deleted NEs. Prune those NEs to delete the subnetwork.” Before deleting the subnetwork, remove the deleted NEs from the CTM database. For more information, see 3.5.7.4 Removing a Deleted NE, page 3-27.

Step 3 Choose Edit > Delete.

Step 4 In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes to remove the subnetwork from the tree.

3.5 How Do I Build NEs?

When you add a new NE, you select the subnetwork to which you will add it. Consequently, the NE is added to the network partition that contains the selected subnetwork. This allows you to create circuits between NEs.
