Setting the PNNI Level and Peer Group ID
The Cisco PNNI Network Planning Guide for MGX and SES Products provides guidelines for selecting
a PNNI level and peer group ID. To set these parameters in the switch, use the following procedure.
Step 1
Establish a configuration session using a user name with SUPER_GP privileges or higher.
Step 2 Disable PNNI node operation by entering the following command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> cnfpnni-node < node-index> -enable false
The node-index uniquely defines a logical PNNI node within the switch. Initially, there is just one logical
PNNI node at the lowest PNNI level, and its index number is 1. If you add a higher level logical node to
the physical node, the first higher level will be numbered two, and the next higher level will be number
three. Additional levels receive sequentially higher node index numbers.
During this general node configuration, you are setting the PNNI level and peer group ID for the lowest
PNNI level, so replace node-index with 1.
Note For instructions on creating logical nodes above the lowest PNNI level, see Chapter 8,
“Managing PNNI Nodes and PNNI Routing.”
Step 3
Change the PNNI level and peer group ID with the cnfpnni-node command as follows:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> cnfpnni-node < node-index> [-pgId level : peerGroupID ]
To configure the lowest PNNI level, replace <node-index> with 1. Replace level with the PNNI level you
want to use, and replace peerGroupID with the 13-byte peer group ID you want to use. For example:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> cnfpnni-node 1 -pgId 56:47.00.9181.0000.0100.0000.0000.00
Step 4 Enable PNNI node operation by entering the following command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> cnfpnni-node < node-index> -enable true
Replace node-index with the value you used when disabling and reconfiguring the PNNI node.
Step 5 To display the PNNI node configuration, enter the following command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> dsppnni-node
