Generic naming convention

The following is the generic naming convention that the Optical Transport Manager uses for object classes:
<PREFIX>-<TID>/<bay>-<shelf>-<slot>[-sub-slot]/[port num/] <Port Type>-<Port Direction>[-<channel>][-BandName][-AD|-PT]
The following table lists the parts of the naming convention and what they identify.
Object class naming convention parts

Some fields, even those not indicated as optional, may not be valid for every object type. For example,
  • An OpticalNetworkElement object has only a TID field.
  • A Card object has the following fields:
    <PREFIX>-TID/<bay>-<shelf>-<slot>
    The following object classes use specialized naming conventions:
  • Facility:
    <PREFIX>-<VendorSpecificString>
  • FiberLink, BBFiberLink, OchLink, OcnLink, and OmsLink:
    <PREFIX>-<A-End Link>--><Z-End Link>
  • PTP:
    <PREFIX>-<TID>/<rack>-shelf>-<slot>-<sub slot>/<port num>
