Chapter 4 Configuration Tables and Fields
Groups and Network Table
Groups and Network Table
The Groups and Network Table defense the PNNI Peer groups, their parameters, and their relationships.
In WANDL, this data is translated to the HPNNI file.
Note In the MS Excel and DBF interface, this table is called Groups.
Table 4-15 Groups and Network Table
Field Defaults Notes Description and Comments DBF CET TPI
PG_Name Blank M PNNI Peer Group name. NMT requires this name
have the same format as a site table name.
NAME
Parent_PG Blank O Peer Group name of the parent group. Leave blank if
the group has no parent. Note that parents must be
defined earlier in the table than their children.
PARENT
PNNI Y M A Y/N flag, indicating if this groups is a PNNI group
or just a logical group. If Y, for PNNI group, then
this label should appear in the site table for PNNI
groups, and all data fields apply. If N, for a logical
group, then this group should appear in the network
field in the site table, and only the mapX and mapY
fields are relevant.
Level 0 O Peer Group Level: The level of the PNNI network
hierarchy this peer group belongs too. A parent must
always have a smaller numeric value than their
children.
LEVEL
Complex N O Enter Y if the peer group has to be aggregated in the
next higher level of hierarchy using complex node
representation algorithm. Enter N for simple node
representation.
CMPLX
PGL_PR N O The Peer Group Leader Election Priority is a
numeric value determining which site will be the
peer group leader. The highest value in the peer
group will be the leader.
PGL_PRI
Xrstr N O Enter Y if the peer group cannot be used for transit
(via) calls.
RSTR
mapX 0 O Horizontal coordinate on the NMT map for this Peer
group location.
HOR
mapY 0 O Vertical coordinate on the NMT map for this Peer
group location.
