The node augmentation is explained with an example:
Ethernet link exists between Node A and C ( 1-2-1 to 1-2-2 ). Node B is augmented between A and C by connecting fibers physically and packet trunk is available in NMS between node A-B (1-2-1 to 1-2-1) and B-C (1-2-2 to 1-2-2).
Augmenting the Node
NOTE: Run the service discovery before performing the node augment.
To add the node, do the following steps:
Go to Topology menu and click Topology View option. Topology View window is displayed.
Click Network View (Nodes)tab.
Select the newly added node.
Click . Augment Node <Node IP> window is displayed.
Select the two topology info pairs (Click and press CTRL key simultaneously).
Click Select Pair. The nodes will be distributed to West Info and East Info sections automatically. The Unpair option is available to undo the selection of nodes. In case of L2 TL, both the TL(s) of a pair should belong to same switch. More than one pair of packet trunks can be augmented at a time.
Click Augment Node to perform Node Augmentation in NMS. A 'successfully completed' message is displayed.
If some L1 configuration is already present on new node its augmentation will fail and an error message will be displayed. If augmentation is partially successful, an appropriate error message displays, otherwise a success will be displayed indicating this node has been successfully augmented in the existing configuration.
NOTE: If encapsulation of ports do not match, then the user will be intimated by error message to correct the encapsulation.
. Augment Node <Node IP> window is displayed.
