Equipment and Resource Provisioning

AXSM-16-T3E3

The Private Network-to-Network Interface (PNNI) control protocol and the service modules use

different formats to identify the same entity. For example, the format of a logical port that you enter on

an AXSM is different from the format you would enter on the PXM45. This section describes these

formats in the PNNI and AXSM contexts and how they correspond to each other. The parallel actions of

configuring or displaying logical elements on different cards is broadly illustrated in the Cisco

MGX 8850 Routing Switch Software Configuration Guide, Release 2.0.

Apart from the way PNNI and the lower levels of logic identify the same element, the sequence of

commands also needs explanation. When you configure logical ports—for just one example—you must

complete certain tasks on the AXSM CLI before or after related PNNI tasks. For certain commands, this

manual lists prerequisite commands or tasks. For more details on the sequence of tasks, refer to the Cisco

MGX 8850 Routing Switch Software Configuration Guide, Release 2.0, for more details of this sequence.

On a service module, you identify the follow when you provision the capabilities of the card:
