Sites Table
Sites Table
The sites table contains information about all sites in your network. All other tables using the sites field
rely on the information in this table. To display the sites table, select Site from the Configure menu. The
two most important fields of the site table are the site name and the node type field. The site name field
defines the label string of the site, and must be valid and unique. The node type field defines what kind
of switch is at this location.
Use the NMT Site Table to explicitly specify all feeder equipment in the MGX, BPX, and IPX products.
You can also provision feeders and additional routing IGX shelves as required by the connection
demand.
