SCT Load
SCT Load
The sctLoad utility included in CWM Release 10.5 is a tool designed for uploading SCT files that will
be used for provisioning. There are a number of pre-configured default files available, incl uding SCT2,
SCT3, SCT4, and SCT5.
Note SCT2 and SCT3 are used for PNNI, and SCT4 and SCT5 are used for MPLS; SCT 2 and SC T4 are use d
for policing, and SCT 3 and SCT 5 are used for no policing.
The following output informs t he user that there are additional parameters which are not used for SCT2
and SCT3. This informative output appears when using sctLoad to load SCTs versions 2.0 and earlier
into a system which operates on S C Ts f o r PXM 45 , R el eas e 2 .1. Th e SC Ts fo r P X M 4 5, R ele as e 2.1
contain MPLS data whic h is not present in the earlier versions of SCTs . In this case, the sctLo ad utility
informs the user that this da ta is missing and that it is in se r ti ng d ef au lt data into the missing fields i n
order to upgrade the SCT fi les to the latest SCT format. When SCT2 or SCT3 are uploaded, the sctLoad
utility will add default valu es to th e m issing fields, as shown in the exa mple:
sjnms12% sctLoad -f AXSM_SCT.PORT.5
SCT VC data (12, 6) undefined, setting to default (1)
Exiting SctLoad ...
sjnms12% sctLoad -f AXSM_SCT.CARD.2
SCT VC data either undefined or missing due to old file format.
Setting missing data to default values...
Exiting SctLoad ...
Note The sctLoad utility has successfully finished loading SCT file(s) when "Exiting SctLoad ... " appears at
the bottom of the output screen.
Note It is recommended that the use r hits the Enter key after m od if y ing any parameter values w it h in an SCT
file.
Initializing SCT
When a PXM card is installed fo r t h e first ti me it does not have SCT files. Therefore, th e use r must
upload SCT 2, 3, 4 and 5 files from the switch to CWM via the sctLoad utility. The user will first need
to FTP the files from the switch to the directory ~svplus/sct-file/1, and then use the sctLoad utility to
load these files into the database.
Note SctLoad passes SCT information to the CWM database. You can FTP the default SC T file s f r om the
switch to the CWM workstation, and then use the SctLoad command to upload SCTs to CWM.
After they have been uploaded, the re tr ie v ed S CT f iles are disp laye d whe n you s elec t the SCT ta b whi ch
is also the default tab of the Navigator panel. Figure7-1 shows the SCT Main w in d ow.
