The ION system hierarchy is shown in the figure below.
Figure 18: CLI Location Hierarchy
In the above figure, there are three levels of devices:
•
L1D (level one device) refers to devices (IONMM and other NIDs) that are installed in the chassis.
•
L2D ( level two device) refers to a device that is directly connected to a port in a NID in the
chassis and has other devices connected to it.
•
L3D (level three device) refers to a device that is directly connected to a port in a level one
device.
The ports on a device are divided into two categories: Device ports and Attachment ports.
•
Device ports – These are ports on a specified device that are used as service ports for either
customer or network connections, and are typically attached to routers or switches. These ports
are labeled L1P=, L2P= and L3P=. The L1, L2, and L3 indicate the level of the device that the port
is on. Devices attached to a port with this designation
cannot
be managed by the IONMM.
•
Attachment port – These are also ports on a specified device; they are labeled L1AP= and L2AP=
and indicate an attachment point for another ION family device that
can
be managed by the
IONMM.
Physically these are the same port. That is, L1P1 and L1AP1 are both port one on a level one device.
However, it is how they are used that determines their syntax. For example, L1P1 indicates that the port
is used to connect to a service device that is not managed by the IONMM. L1AP1 (level 1 attachment
