Managing the Transport Entities (TE)
Circuit Provisioning: Existing TEs can be managed; new TEs can be created and managed.
Once recognized by the FOXMAN-UN NP, the operator can:
− Define a protected route,
− Free used capacity through deletion,
− Modify an Endpoint (A or Z),
− Reallocate used Timeslot (TS).
The FOXMAN-UN NP allows you to create and manage new TEs, which will use the available resources in the network.
The management of TEs leads to updating the real network at deployment time. Deploying means applying the modifications to the real network and saving the changes the user made since the last deployment:
− Creation and deletion of cross connections.
− Update and activation or deactivation of ports.
All these above actions on the FOXMAN-UN BP will create or update the user-requested TE in the network.
When the commit has ended, the FOXMAN-UN NP and FOXMAN-UN BP are synchronised in terms of physical data knowledge.
The FOXMAN-UN NP also adds customer data place-holders bound to those end-to-end TE for documentation purposes.
