Configuration Tables and Fields

This chapter describes the fields in the tables accessed through the Configure menu.These tables describe sites, links, traffic types, and more. This data can be created and edited with the NMT, or imported into the tables from other systems.

Network topologies are defined by sets of tables. Each table entry defines a network element, and each table field defines a specific characteristic of that element.

The Site table, which defines the switch locations, is the only mandatory table. In the other tables, you usually only need to define the site name field in the other tables. You can use the NMT default values in almost all cases to get familiar with the modeling process.

There is no order requirements in these tables. Use the CONFIG/UTILITY to sort the table entries automatically.

General Table Information

The following legend refers to the Notes column in the tables that follow. Refer to this legend when deciding whether to edit an NMT default value.

•M—Mandatory. If you are revising this table, you must revise this field.

•E—Evaluate. If you are revising this table, you should consider revising this field. For instance, this field may require modification if you are working with a tiered network, an ISP, a network that requires highly regulated bandwidth, or one in which cost factors must be highly regulated.

•O—Optional. If you are revising this table, you need not revise this field. Defaults are generally suitable.

•P—Parts. Required for generating an accurate parts list.

•H—Help. Press F12 or the Help key to call up a list of choices.

•X—Entries generated by the NMT that cannot be edited.

The DBF column lists the DBF field name, and any additional translation information. There are also columns for the CET (CWM) and TPI (WANDL) translations.

An asterisk in the Configuration Extraction Tool (CET) column or the Third Party Interface (TPI) column indicates that the CET and/or the TPI supports a particular field. For instance, the CET extracts site names from the Cisco Wan Manager (CWM) database, so there is an asterisk in the site row of the CET column in Table 4-1. The asterisk indicates that the field is translated as described in the legend above. If the translation is more complex, it is described in the CET or TPI column.
