5.2.11 Managing the VSI Controllers

These tasks are used to work with VSI controllers:

• 5.2.11.1 Creating a VSI Controller

• 5.2.11.2 Displaying a VSI Controller

• 5.2.11.3 Deleting a VSI Controller

5.2.11.1 Creating a VSI Controller

A VSI controller must be added when a new node is added. There is one controller per node.

To create a VSI controller, complete the following procedure:

Step 1 In the Domain Explorer, right-click the node from the Hierarchy pane and choose Configuration >

MGX8880/8850 MG > Configuration Center.

Step 2 Click the Elements tab to display the Configuration Window for Elements.

Step 3 Click the Controllers tab to display the Controllers Table.

Step 4 Click Create to display the Controllers Create window.

Step 5 Enter the ID for the VSI controller in the Controller ID field.

Step 6 Choose one of the following controller options from the Controller Type drop-down arrow:

• par—Portable Auto Route (PAR). The par option is a VSI Master controller that implements a

Cisco proprietary protocol for network routing and topology in a network, which contains only

Cisco switches.

• pnni—Private Network-to-Network Interface (PNNI) controller. The PNNI protocol is used

between private ATM Switches and between groups of ATM switches. PNNI is defined for

distributing topology information between switches and clusters of switches.

• lsc—Label Switch Controller (LSC). The LSC implements the MPLS protocol. The LSC is a router

which is capable of controlling the operation of a separate ATM switch, so that both of them

function as a single ATM-LSR (ATM Label Switch Router).

Step 7 Enter the name for the controller in the Controller Name field.

Step 8 Choose one of the following shelf location options from the Controller Shelf Location drop-down

arrow:

• internal—specifies that the controller resides on the same shelf as the switch.

• external—specifies that the controller resides on the external platform. The controller shelf is

connected to the switch by an ATM link.

Step 9 Enter the slot number that the VSI controller is plugged into in the Controller Location field.

Step 10 Click Apply to create a VSI controller.
