ADD/DELETE A LEAF ENDPOINT TO/FROM AN EXISTING MULTICAST CONNECTION
Summary: This procedure describes the steps required to successfully add a leaf endpoint to a
configured multicast connection. This procedure is generic in nature so it can encompass VP
Multicasting AND Bundled VC Multicasting. Adding a leaf endpoint to a bundled VC multicast
connection does not affect the VCI configuration and so is identical to adding a VP multicast
endpoint. If adding a port level multicast leaf endpoint to a connection that has only one existing
leaf endpoint, a traffic hit will occur. Prerequisites of establishing a connection are:
•
The connection endpoints hardware (cards/ports) must be provisioned and in service
(unlocked) per NTP-006.
Note: User may navigate through the GUI menus using the mouse or by using the Alt
key plus the underlined letters in the menus simultaneously, and then the arrow keys to
scroll up, down, or across. Refer to the Graphical User Interface Operation in Section 2
of this document.
1. Access the existing connections using one of the following processes:
a. Using the left mouse button, select Configuration, Connection, and View.
Refer to Figure 791-1 .
b. Using the direct selection keys, enter Alt+C, Alt+N then Alt+V. Refer to
Figure 791-1 .
c. Using the right mouse button, position the cursor over the NE, click and hold
the button, select View Connections, and release the button.
d. Using the left mouse button, select the connection icon above the workspace.
2. The Connection Filter window appears as shown in Figure 791-2 . Select a topic to filter
information from using the folder tabs shown. These topics allow the user to retrieve only
the information desired by Connection type, Network available, Traffic contract, or ATM
traffic by port. The user may also specify all of these by using the All checkbox. Refer to
Table 791-2 for descriptions of each filter type. Select either the ATM BUNDLED VC
MULTICAST button or the ATM VP Multicast button followed by the Apply button at the
bottom of the screen.
3. The Connection List window appears as shown in the example in Figure 791-3 . The list of
connections can be displayed alphabetically by the connection name or by the NE name by
using the Format pull down menu and selecting Sort by Name, or Sort by NE. The status
column indicates the most current information for the connection. The status may be listed
as INCOMPLETE, FUNCTIONAL, or as an UNKNOWN STATE. This screen displays up
to 100 entries per page by using the up and down slide button on the right side of the
window. If more than 100 entries are available for viewing, the user may use the slide bar
on the right side of the window to scroll through the entries.
4. If a connection is displayed as INCOMPLETE, select it using the left mouse button to
highlight it and then select Retry to attempt to establish the connection.
