Setting Up Service Provider Connectivity
at the Central Site
When management needs to be set up between a service provider’s customer and its
network operations center (NOC), a non-multiplexed DLCI must be configured to carry
management data between the customer’s central site and the NOC console. This

auto-configured network DLCIs are configured as multiplexed DLCIs.
To set up NOC management:
1. Select DLCI Records on the network interface:
