This chapter introduces you to the CiscoView menus that can be used to manage the BPX SES PNNI node.
The PNNI Controller configuration window provides access to dialogs and tables used to configure a node. The title bar of the CiscoView Main window displays CiscoView Web as shown in Figure 2-1.

The PNNI Controller configuration dialogs and tables are described in Table 2-1.
This section describes the dialogs that support PNNI port configuration.
WAN ATM Port Configuration dialogs contain parameters that affect the operation of the controller interface. There is a single row for each interface that the system will manage. There are two separate dialogs due to size constraints, the WAN ATM Port Configuration dialog (see Figure 2-2) and the WAN ATM Port Creation dialog.

The WAN ATM Port Configuration dialog parameters are described in Table 2-2.
To create a port, select Create from the WAN ATM Port Creation dialog. The WAN ATM Port Creation dialog contains one attribute required for creation of a port as shown in Table 2-3.

There are two PNNI Node Configuration tables due to size constraints. These tables are used to configure/delete a PNNI node or modify related parameters for an existing node.

The parameters for the PNNI Node Table are described in Table 2-17. Some parameters are only visible by using the scroll bar.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
PNNI Node Index | A unique value assigned to a node in this switching system. |
PNNI Node Level | The level of PNNI hierarchy of the node. This attribute is used to determine the default node ID and the default peer group ID for the node. This object may only be written when the PNNI Node Admin Status has the value down. |
PNNI Node ID | The value the switching system is using to represent itself as this node. This object may only be written when pnniNodeAdminStatus has the value down. If pnniNodeLowest is true, then the default node ID takes the form defined for lowest level nodes, with the first octet equal to pnniNodeLevel, the second octet equal to 160, and the last 20 octets equal to pnniNodeAtmAddress. If pnniNodeLowest is false, then the default node ID takes the form defined for logical group nodes, with the first octet equal to pnniNodeLevel, the next fourteen octets equal to the value of pnniNodePeerGroupId for the child node whose election as PGL causes this LGN to be instantiated, the next six octets equal to the ESI of pnniNodeAtmAddress, and the last octet equal to zero. |
Lowest Node | Indicates whether this node acts as a lowest level node or whether this node is a logical group node that becomes active when one of the other nodes in this switching system becomes a peer group leader. The value false must not be used with nodes that are not PGL/LGN capable. This object may only be written when pnniNodeAdminStatus has the value down. |
Admin Status | Indicates whether the administrative status of the node is up (the node is allowed to become active) or down (the node is forced to be inactive). When pnniNodeAdminStatus is down, then pnniNodeOperStatus must also be down. |
Operating Status | Indicates whether the node is active or whether the node has yet to become operational. When the value is down, all state has been cleared from the node and the node is not communicating with any of its neighbor nodes. |
Routing Domain | Name of the PNNI routing domain in which this node participates. All lowest-level PNNI nodes with the same pnniNodeDomainName are presumed to be connected. |
End system Addr | This node's ATM End System Address. Remote systems wishing to exchange PNNI protocol packets with this node should direct packets or calls to this address. This attribute may only be written when pnniNodeAdminStatus has the value down. |
Peer Group id | Peer Group Identifier of the peer group that a specific node is to become a member of. The default value of this attribute has the first octet equal to pnniNodeLevel, the next pnniNodeLevel bits equal to the pnniNodeLevel bits starting from the third octet ofpnniNodeId, and the remainder padded with zeros. This object may only be written when pnniNodeAdminStatus has the value down. |
The PNNI Node Creation dialog specifies the parameters needed to create a PNNI node. The parameters for this dialog are described in Table 2-18.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Node Index | Unique value assigned to a node in this switching system. |
pnninode level | Level of PNNI hierarchy at which this node exists. This attribute is used to determine the default node ID and the default peer group ID for this node. This object may be written only when pnniNodeAdminStatus has the value down. |

These parameters are described in Table 2-19.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
PNNI Node Index | Unique value assigned to a node in this switching system. |
SVCs Restrict | Specifies whether the node is restricted to not allowing support of SVCs transiting this node. This attribute determines the setting of the restricted transit bit in the nodal information group originated by this node. |
Branches Restrict | Indicates whether the node is able to support additional point-to-multipoint branches. A value of false indicates that additional branches can be supported. A value of true indicates that additional branches cannot be supported. This attribute reflects the setting of the restricted branching bit in the nodal information group originated by this node. |
Complex Rep | Specifies whether this node uses the complex node representation. A value of true indicates that the complex node representation is used. A value of false indicates that the simple node representation is used. This attribute determines the setting of the nodal representation bit in the nodal information group originated by this node. |
DB Overload | Specifies whether the node is currently operating in topology database overload state. This attribute has the same value as the Non-transit for PGL Election bit in the nodal information group originated by this node. |
PTSES | Gauges the total number of PTSEs currently in this node's topology database(s). |
The PNNI PGL (Peer Group Leader) Configuration table (see Figure 2-17) provides access to Peer Group Leader election information for a PNNI node in this switching system. The pnniNodePglTable augments the pnniNodeTable. Refer to Section 5.10.1 of the ATM Forum PNNI document, Version 1.0.

The parameters for this table are described in Table 2-20. Some parameters are only visible by using the scroll bar.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
PNNI Node Index | Value assigned to a node in this switching system that uniquely identifies it in the MIB. |
PGL Leadership Priority | The Leadership priority value this node should advertise in its nodal information group for the given peer group. Only the value zero can be used with nodes that are not PGL/LGN capable. If there is no configured parent node index or no corresponding entry in the pnniNodeTable, then the advertised leadership priority is zero regardless of this value. |
Parent Node Index | The local node index used to identify the node that represents this peer group at the next higher level hierarchy, if this node becomes peer group leader. Value 0 indicates that there is no parent node. |
Init Delay | The amount of time in seconds this node will delay advertising its choice of preferred PGL after having initialized operation and reached the full state with at least one neighbor in the peer group. |
Override Delay | The amount of time in seconds a node will wait for itself to be declared the preferred PGL by unanimous agreement among its peers. In the absence of unanimous agreement this will be the amount of time that will pass before the node considers a two thirds majority as sufficient agreement to declare itself peer group leader, abandoning the attempt to get unanimous agreement. |
Reelect Time | The amount of time in seconds after losing connectivity to the current peer group leader that this node will wait before re-starting the process of electing a new peer group leader. |
Election State | The state that this node is in with respect to the peer group leader election that takes place in the node's peer group. The values are enumerated in the peer group leader state machine. |
Preferred PGL | The Node ID of the node that the local node believes would be or becomes the peer group leader. This is also the value the local node is currently advertising in the "preferred peer Group Leader Node ID field of its nodal information group within the given peer group. If a Preferred PGL has not been chosen, this attribute's value is set to (all) zero(s). |
PGL | The Node Identifier of the node that is currently operating as peer group leader of the peer group this node belongs to. If a PGL has not been elected, this attribute's value is set to (all) zero(s). |
PGL Time Stamp | The time at which the current Peer Group Leader established itself. |
Parent Node ID | The Node Identifier value being used by the Peer Group Leader to represent this peer group at the next higher level of the hierarchy. If this node is at the highest level of the hierarchy or if no PGL has yet been elected the PNNI Protocol Entity sets the value of this attribute to (all) zero(s). |
The PNNI Address Summary table(see Figure 2-18) is used to specify a list of the summary address prefixes that may be advertised by the specified logical PNNI entity. The pnniSummaryRowStatus is used to create, delete, activate, and de-activate a summary.

Suppression | Determines what is done with addresses that are being summarized by the instance. The default value will indicate that the summary should propagate into the peer group. Network management will be able to set the value of this attribute to suppress, which suppresses the summary and any reachable addresses it summarizes from being advertised into the peer group. |
State | Indicates whether the summary is currently being advertised by the node within the local switching system into its peer group. |
The PNNI Summary Address Prefix Creation dialog is used to create a PNNI summary address prefix. The parameters for this dialog are described in Table 2-22.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Index | A unique value assigned to a node in this switching system. |
Type | The type of summary (Internal or Exterior) described. |
End System Addr Prefix | The ATM end system address prefix for the summary. |
Prefix Length | The prefix length for the summary. |
The PNNI Base Group Configuration dialog (see Figure 2-19) defines the PNNI Base Group.

The parameters for this dialog are described in Table 2-23.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Highest Version | The highest version of the PNNI protocol that the software in this switching system is capable of executing. |
Lowest Version | The lowest version of the PNNI protocol that the software in this switching system is capable of executing. |
DTL Count Originator | The total number of DTL stacks that this switching system has originated as the DTL Originator and placed into signaling messages. This includes the initial DTL stacks computed by this system as well as any alternate route (second, third choice) DTL stacks computed by this switching system in response to crank backs. |
DTL Count Border | The number of partial DTL stacks that this switching system has added into signaling messages as an entry border node. This includes the initial partial DTL stacks computed by this system as well as any alternate route (second, third, choice, etc.) partial DTL stacks computed by this switching system in response to crank backs. |
Crankback Count Originator | The count of the total number of connection setup messages including DTL stacks originated by this switching system that have cranked back to this switching system at all levels of the hierarchy. |
Crankback Count Border | The count of the total number of connection setup messages including DTLs added by this switching system as an entry border node that have cranked back to this switching system at all levels of the hierarchy. This count does not include Crankbacks for which this switching system was not the crankback destination, only those crankbacks that were directed to this switching system are counted here. |
Alternate Route Count Originator | The count of the total number of connection setup messages including DTLs added by this switching system as an entry border node that have cranked back to this switching system at all levels of the hierarchy. This count does not include Crank backs for which this switching system was not the crank back destination, only those crank backs that were directed to this switching system are counted here. |
Alternate Route Count Border | Total number of alternate DTL stacks that this switching system has computed and placed into signaling messages as the DTL originator. |
Route Fail Count Originator | Total number of times where the switching system failed to compute a viable DTL stack as the DTL originator for some call. It indicates the number of times a call was cleared from this switching system due to originator routing failure. |
Route Fail Count Border | Total number of times where the switching system failed to compute a viable partial DTL stack as an entry border node for some call. It indicates the number of times a call was either cleared or cranked back from this switching system due to border routing failure. |
Route Fail Unreachable Originator | Total number of times where the switching system failed to compute a viable DTL stack as the DTLOriginator because the destination was unreachable. |
Route Fail Unreachable Border | The total times the switching system failed to compute a viable partial DTL stack as an entry border node because the target of the path calculation was unreachable. That is, those calls that are cleared or cranked back with either number 2, specified transit network unreachable, or cause number 3, destination unreachable, specified in the cause. |
