User Configurable Network IDs
If the ping command is successful, CWM can reach the MGX 8850 feeder node.
User Configurable Network IDs
A new feature in CWM 10.4 gives the user the ability to configure network IDs with a pre-defined
network configuration that is specified in the file network.conf. In addition to the network name,
gateway, and discovery protocol that are specified in this file, the user is able to specify the network ID
for each network. The keyword for the network-ID parameter is NETWORK_ID.
Note The configurable network ID is only used in Autoroute and PNNI networks. For a standalone network
ID, it will always be 32767.
The following is an example of a network configuration in the network.conf file:
NETWORK:network2
NETWORK_ID:1234
GATEWAYS:popeye2
DISCOVERY PROTOCOL:PNNI
Notes on the network-ID parameter include the following:
• NETWORK must be the first parameter in defining the configuration for a network.
• NETWORK_ID is optional. If NETWORK_ID is not specified in the network.conf file, one will
be assigned automatically by CWM.
• NETWORK_ID must be unique, numeric, and within the range of 1 to 32,000.
• After NETWORK_ID is added, modified, or deleted, CWM needs to be cold started.
• To make the CWM gateway work correctly, the same network.conf file must be used for the Primary
and all Secondary CWM workstations.
