LMP > TE Link > Create LMP TE Link Dialog Box
(ONS 15454 only) Use the Create LMP TE Link dialog box to create LMP TE links. A TE link can only be created if the LMP neighbor has a properly configured control channel.
Note
Any default node values given in this table can vary depending on the node defaults entered under the Provisioning > Defaults tab.
 
Item
Description
Admin State
The Admin State is the provisioning that tells the node to bring up or disable the link. Choosing an administrative state from the drop-down list and clicking Apply changes the TE link’s operational state unless network conditions prevent the change. Admin states include:
IS—Changing the state to IS means that the node will try to establish the TE link and negotiate channel parameters to bring up the link.
OOS,DSBLD—Removes the TE link from service and disables the link.
Remote Node Id
Enter the IP address of the remote node.
Remote TE Link Id
Enter an unsigned 32 bit value. CTC accepts decimal or hexadecimal notation. The value entered in this field must match the TE Link Id assigned for this TE Link on the remote system.
MUX Capability
Indicates the type of switching that should be performed on a particular link. The MUX capability field is needed for links that advertise more than one type of switching. The options available are:
Packet Switch - Level 1, 2, 3, & 4: Packet-Switch Capable (PSC) switching recognizes packet or cell boundaries and can forward data based on the content of the packet or cell header.
Layer 2 Switch: Layer 2 Switch (L2SC) forwards traffic based on MAC layer addresses.
TDM Cross-Connect: Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) forwards data based on the data's time slot in a repeating cycle.
Lambda Switch: Lambda Switch Capable (LSC) forwards data based on the wavelength on which the data is received. Lambda Switch is the default in CTC.
Fiber Switch: Fiber-Switch Capable (FSC) forwards data based on a position of the data in a real-world physical space.
Apply
Applies changes made to the LMP fields.
Reset
Cancels LMP subtab changes and returns the fields to their last-saved settings.
