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
requires that a frame relay discovered DLCI needs to be modified. This is because all
auto-configured network DLCIs are configured as multiplexed DLCIs.
Procedure
To set up NOC management:
1.
Select DLCI Records on the network interface:

selected DLCI will be reconfigured as a management PVC using the Node IP
Address.
