Provisioning ports
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
When to use
Use this procedure to:
• know which ports are provisioned in an NE and how they are provisioned
• change the port mode for the alarm handling
• enable or disable test loops
Note: The provisioning ports procedure is also applicable to X5IP. Also note that the
type of the port E/FE/GbE LAN refers to 10/100/1000BASE-T(X) Ethernet Interface for
the X5IP card.
Related information
Before starting to modify NE ports it is assumed that:
• information about which port on which unit needs to be modified is available.
• there is no traffic on the ports that you want to test with a loopback.
• take care that loopbacks are disabled for normal operations. No normal traffic is
possible when a loopback is enabled.
Before you begin
Provisioning of timing ports is described in Chapter 7, “Timing provisioning”.
