24Chapter 3 Domain Management

If you have full domain access, you can see all provisioned domains. Otherwise, you will only be able to see the domains/subdomains you are provisioned against. The management rights assigned to a domain administrator dictates what you can do with the domains.

Domain types

There are three types of domains:

root domain

subdomain

foreign domain

Root domain

A root domain is the highest level domain. A service provider can create a root domain for each of their customers. An example of a root domain is nortelnetworks.com.

Subdomain

A subdomain is a category of domains. Subdomains allow you to divide subscribers under a domain into smaller groups. The groups can be used to control routing and access to services by members of the group.

Under each subdomain, you can add subdomains, service packages, users, devices, and telephony routes. There are no limits to the levels of nesting of subdomains. Each subdomain inherits the parameter values from the root domain.

A typical application of subdomains is based on geographical divisions. For example, using Nortel Networks, you could have nortelnetworks.com as the root domain, with subdomains of Richardson and Ottawa. Under each of these subdomains there could be further subdomains as shown in the following illustration (Figure 12).
