NSAP Provisioning
8
The network services access point (NSAP) is a multiple part address that
uniquely identifies each NE for OI purposes. The NSAP is used for subnetwork
DCC communications using the OSI protocol. A unique NSAP is programmed into
the SYSCTL circuit pack at the factory and does not have to be modified by the
user unless subnetwork partitioning is necessary. This default NSAP value is
adequate to operate typical subnetworks. Subnetwork partitioning is
accomplished by assigning NEs to different areas. An NE’s area address is one of
the subfields within its NSAP. The
ent-ulsdcc-13
command is used to modify
an NEs NSAP. See the
ent-ulsdcc-13
commands in Chapter 11, “Commands
and Reports,” for more information on NSAP provisioning.
TARP Provisioning
8
Although TARP functions automatically, using standard default values and without
any user provisioning, DDM-2000 allows provisioning of the following TARP
parameters. All TARP parameters are provisioned by the CIT and TL1
ent-ulsdcc-l4
command and include the following:
■
Lifetime
■
Manual Adjacency
■
Timers
■
Loop Detection Buffer (LDB) Flush Timer
■
TDC Enable/Disable
■
TDC TID-NSAP Entries.
It is recommended that TARP default values always be used, with the possible
exception of Manual Adjacency and the TDC parameters. TARP Manual
Adjacency may be used to propagate TARP messages beyond any non-TARP
nodes in a subnetwork, if necessary. In the unlikely event the TDC contains
inaccurate information, the TDC parameters may be used to update the TDC.
Eliminated Provisioning: Because DDM-2000 FiberReach Releases 3.0 and later
do not support Lucent Directory Services (LDS) or Remote NE Status features,
the following OI-related provisioning is no longer necessary:
■
AGNE
■
Alarm Group Number
■
NE Number
■
Site Number
■
TBOS Number.
