Logical Node, Port, and Signaling Commands
addpnport
addpnport
Add Port—adds a UNI or NNI port through PNNI.
The addpnport command lets you pre-configure an NNI or UNI port. The purpose of pre-configuring
is that it may best serve the configuration strategy of some companies.
To pre-configure a port means you add it on the PXM45 before you add it on the service module (by
using addport). Eventually, you must run addport on the service module. The addpnport command is
optional because when you create the port by using addport (and a resource partition by using addpart),
PNNI automatically creates the port. Therefore, after you create the port on the service module, using
the addpnport command is not necessary.
After you pre-configure the port through addpnport at the controller, its administrative and operational
states are down by default. Use uppnport to bring up the port.
The addpnport command only creates the port. The PNNI commands for configuring the operational
characteristics of the port are cnfpnportrange, cnfpnportcac, and cnfpnportsig. If the configuration
you specify with these commands conflict with the values you specify on the service module through the
addport or cnfport commands, these PNNI commands override the slave-side configuration.
Note that the format of the PNNI logical port and the format of the logical port on the slave side map to
each other. See
AXSM Format
and
PNNI Format, page 6-4
, for a description of this mapping.
