Steps involved to call PresetLayer stitcher

Question & Answer


Question

What are the steps needed to create manual connections using PresetLayer stitcher?

Answer

a) Modify the $NCHOME/precision/disco/stitchers/PresetLayer.stch based on the requirement.

b) Change CreateAndSendTopology.stch to include "PresetLayer" connections as highest precedence i.e.

ExecuteStitcher('MergeLayers', 1,
'PresetLayer', 'passportTopology', 'RPRLayer',
'ilmiLayer', 'pnniLayer', 'FddiLayer', 'SRPLayer','SONMPLayer',
'stpTopology', 'switchTopology', 'hubTopology',
'CollectorSwitchLayer',
'CDPLayer', 'CabletronLayer', 'CMTSLayer',
'AdjustedIPLayer', 'IPLayer',
'fullTopology');

c) Do the same changes in "RecreateAndSendTopology.stch" to include PresetLayer as high precedence i.e.

ExecuteStitcher('MergeLayers', 1,
'PresetLayer', 'passportTopology', 'RPRLayer',
'ilmiLayer', 'pnniLayer', 'FddiLayer', 'SRPLayer',
'stpTopology', 'switchTopology', 'hubTopology',
'CollectorSwitchTopology',
'CDPLayer', 'CabletronLayer', 'CMTSLayer',
'CollectorIPLayer', 'AdjustedIPLayer', 'IPLayer',
'fullTopology');

d) Uncomment 'PresetLayer' execution from "BuildLayers.stch" to build connectivity information during layer merge i.e.


ExecuteStitcher('PresetLayer');

e) Once the changes are made, either you can reinitiate the discovery or restitch the topology for the changes to be effective.
