NNI (Uplink Port Configuration)

The Interface NNI members are used for configuration and status on the Uplink Ports. The uplink ports are referred to NNIs or Network to Network Interfaces.  

The configuration of NNI is defined as follows:

 

NNI Interface Config Attributes 

Attribute  Values  Default  Req Description
Aid SFP1-1-x |
QSFP1-2-y |
x=1..4 y=1..6
 N/A Y  AID or Access Identifier used to identify the port.
Link-aggregate-group-id 1 ... 12 N/A Y The number used to designate the lag, for NET1 it would be 1
User-label Quoted String  N/A N  The user defined label for the Uplink port. 
Admin-state enabled | disabled enabled N The attribute used to enable or disable an uplink port.
Enable-link-trap-notification true | false True N The attribute used to control whether to send a link trap when the port changes state.  This controls both SNMP link traps and EMS alarms.

Interface NNI config Example to Enable an Uplink Port

Note: The NNIs or Network to Network Interfaces cannot be created or deleted but always exist.  They can only be edited.

 

The following examples show how to edit the NNI.

Path to NNI for editing:

 

  • Command Path – tolt>interfaces>nni>config>
  • Module – tolt
  • Container – interfaces
  • Container – nni
  • Container – config
  • Types  Example Parameters
    • *aid – QSFP1-2-6
    • Admin-state enabled 

 

  1. From the MDS1-ESUA<config>command line, input tolt interfaces nni config QSFP1-2-6 admin-state enabled, and press Enter
  2. Input commit and press Enter. Outputs similar to the following are displayed:
    MDS1-ESUA<config># tolt interfaces nni config QSFP1-2-6 admin-state enabled <enter>
    MDS1-ESUA<config-config-QSFP1-2-6># Commit <enter>
