Cross-domain topology

The
collects and builds the optical network topology while the
IP Manager
collects and builds the IP network topology. In order to build the cross-domain topology,
must be provided data relating customer circuits in the SDH, PDH and WDM domains to connections between Routers and Switches in the IP domain.
The data must specify Circuit information from OTM and related IP connection information from IP. The Circuit information may be specified in different ways including the Circuit name, and PTPs for the Circuit. The IP connection information includes the Routers, Switches and Interfaces or Ports connected to the Optical Circuit.
The XD Topology Adapter uses this data to import topology from
and
IP Manager
only for the above objects. Figure 2-1 Objects imported into XD Manager OTM-to-IP AM
shows the topology imported into the

Objects imported into
The data collected from
is:
  • The Circuit object
  • The DropSideToplogicalLinks (for SDH, PDH, and WDM-NG)
  • The edge FiberLinks (for WDM)
    The data collected from
    IP Manager
    is:
  • The connections between the Router Interfaces or Switches, which may be NetworkConnections, Cables, or TrunkCables.
  • The Interfaces or Ports connected to the NetworkConnection or Cable
    • If applicable, a physical port or interface may be underlying the interface or port connected to the network connection
  • The Cards realizing the Interfaces or Ports
  • The Router or Switch containing the Interfaces, Ports, Cards
