Nodes Table

Nodes Table

The Nodes Table defines node types the NMT does not support. Future switches, other Cisco WAN or feeder platforms, or other vendor switches can be defined in this table.

Note The Nodes table is not translated from CWM or to WANDL.

Table 4-16 Nodes Table

Field	Defaults	Notes	Description and Comments	DBF	CET
NodeType	Blank	M	Name of the node type.	NAME
BaseType	GENERI	M	If the NodeType is closely based on an existing type	TYPE
	C		supported by NMT, enter that type here. Otherwise,
			enter 'GENERIC'.
Size	32	M	Number of slots in this type of node.	SIZE
CTL	64	M	Number of circuit lines allowed on the node.	CTLS
PTL	30	M	Number of packet lines (trunks) allowed on the node.	PTLS
PTLConns	4000	M	Number of connections allows in each PTL connected	PTL_CONNS
			to this node type.
NodeConns	3500	M	Maximum number of connections that can terminate	TERM_CONNS
			on this type of node.
VIA_conns	—	M/H	Number of connections that can pass through the	VIA_CONNS
			node type without termination
PNNI_Con	—	M/H	Number of PNNI connections that can terminate or	PNNI_CONNS
ns			pass through (via) at this node type.
Bus_Load	—	M/H	Maximum bus load of this node type, in Mbits/sec.	BUS_CAP
IFC	--	M/H	Maximum PNNI Interfaces on this PLATFORM	IFCS

Network Settings

The model settings page contains global parameters used in defining settings in the network.

Table 3-14 describes the global parameters used to define network settings.

Table 4-17 Model Setting Configuration

	Parameter	Modeling Effect
	BPX/IGX SwSw Release	The switch software release to assign to all BPX and IGX switches in the network.
		Specific sites can override this global value if they have an entry in the swrel field
		in the site table.
	MGX SwSw Release	The switch software release to assign to all MGX switches in the network.
		Specific sites can override this global value if they have an entry in the swrel field
		in the site table.
	V Delay Limit	Maximum delay (in ms) that can be sustained for this connection type, if
		applicable.
	C Delay Limit	Maximum delay (in ms) that can be sustained for this connection type, if
		applicable.
