Informational content
Name | The specified name of the component. This name is usually composed of NE name, slot no. (including physical and logical slots), and AP (Access Point). Note: When setting labels on ports in the FOXCST GUI make sure to verify the label is set on the appropriate AP. As an example, the label that appears in the AP part of the Name for SFP-based ports of a CESM1 core unit is the one set on the “unit-x/port-y/mau” AP of the SFP-based port, while for electrical Ethernet ports of a CESM1 core unit this is the label set on the “unit-x/port-y” AP. |
Type | The type is determined by the selection made in the “Components” selector. |
Sub Type | Depends on the selection made in the “Components” selector. For components “Service Point” the Sub Type is used to unambiguously identify the available components. |
