Using GateWay/CORBA Interfaces
This chapter describes each interface that Cisco Prime Optical supports, including TeleManagement Forum (TMF)-specific and Cisco-proprietary interfaces. This chapter includes the following information:
- Overview of APIs Supported by NE Type
- common::Common_I
- emsMgr::EMSMgr_I
- EmsSession::EmsSession_I
- emsSessionFactory::EmsSessionFactory_I
- equipment::EquipmentInventoryMgr_I
- maintenanceOps::MaintenanceMgr_I
- managedElementManager::ManagedElementManager_I
- multiLayerSubnetwork::MultiLayerSubnetworkMgr_I
- L2 Topology and ML VLAN for ML-Series Ethernet Cards
- E-Series VLAN Interfaces
- nmsSession::NmsSession_I
- performance::PerformanceManagementMgr_I
- protection::ProtectionMgr_I
- session::Session_I
- mtnmVersion::Version_I
- Transmission Descriptor Interfaces
- Software and Data Manager Interface
Note The iterator interfaces defined by the TMF are not listed here. Prime Optical implementation of these interfaces does not deviate from the TMF definition.
3.1 Overview of APIs Supported by NE Type
The following table lists each API and the NEs that support it.
3.2 common::Common_I
The Common_I interface is a set of services and utilities that each manager interface inherits. Prime Optical supports only one method from this interface.
3.2.1 common::Common_I:: getCapabilities
This interface retrieves the capabilities of the manager. All nonspecified capabilities are assumed to be unsupported.
A Capability_T value is used to identify a functionality supported by the EMS across the network management layer-element management layer (NML-EML) interface. It is a name/value pair, in which the name represents the feature/capability name and the value represents the support or nonsupport of the specified feature/capability.
The EMS capabilities for this release include individual IDL operation support. The feature/capability name part is used to identify an IDL operation using the following convention:
module_name::interface_name::operation_name
3.3 emsMgr::EMSMgr_I
The EMSMgr_I interface accesses operations that deal with the EMS itself. A handle to an instance of this interface is gained through the emsSession::EmsSession_I::getManager operation in emsSession. This interface is inherited from common::Common_I.
This interface implements the getCapabilities method. Operations described in the following sections are returned to the NMS when it invokes getCapabilities.
3.3.1 getAllEMSAndMEActiveAlarms
This interface enables an NMS to request active alarms that are under the control of the EMS (alarms raised by the NEs and alarms raised by the EMS itself). Some alarms might be filtered out (excluded) by specifying their probable causes or severities.
Due to performance concerns, only one OSS client is allowed to invoke this operation at a time. Otherwise, Prime Optical throws the EXCPT_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY exception.
The result of this operation is independent of the filtering set up by the NMS for the notification service.
ONS 15310, ONS 15327, ONS 15454 SDH, ONS 15454 SONET, ONS 15600 SONET, and ONS 15600 SDH
ONS 15310, ONS 15327, ONS 15454 SDH, ONS 15454 SONET, ONS 15600 SONET, and ONS 15600 SDH do not send a “clear” for TCA events. TCAs are not reported in the eventList returned by this method.
TCAs are reported in the eventList returned by this method. The ONS 15540 sends a “clear” for TCAs.
3.3.2 getAllEMSSystemActiveAlarms
This interface enables an NMS to request all active alarms for the EMS. Some alarms can be filtered out (excluded) by specifying their severities.
The result of this operation is independent of the filtering set up by the NMS for the notification service.
3.3.3 getAllTopLevelSubnetworks
This interface enables an NMS to request all subnetworks that are under the control of the EMS.
Prime Optical support for MultiLayerSubnetwork_T is as follows:
– Supported. This field contains two tuples. The first tuple identifies the EMS. The second tuple is the same as nativeEMSName. The naming convention is described in Multilayer Subnetwork.
– Supports TOPO_SINGLETON, TOPO_CHAIN, TOPO_PSR, TOPO_OPEN_PSR, TOPO_SPRING, TOPO_OPEN_SPRING, and TOPO_MESH.
For the Prime Optical client subnetwork types, the following mapping applies:
3.3.4 getAllTopLevelSubnetworkNames
This interface has the same behavior as the interface described in getAllTopLevelSubnetworks , but instead of returning entire object structures, this interface returns their names.
3.3.5 getAllTopLevelTopologicalLinks
This interface enables an NMS to request all of the top-level topological links that are under the control of the EMS. A top-level topological link is a link in which the link endpoints exist in two different multilayer subnetworks.
If a topological link that is under the control of the EMS is removed from the NE, the provType parameter is reported as INVALID.
Maximum number of top-level topological links to return in the first batch. |
|||
Iterator to retrieve the remaining top-level topological links. |
Prime Optical support for TopologicalLink_T structure is as follows:
– Supported. This field has two tuples. The first tuple is for the EMS. The second is for the topological link. The value in the second tuple is the same as the nativeEMSName field except for the Y-cable links, which have “::1” and “::2” appended to the nativeEMSName to identify the two legs of the Y-cable link.
– Supported. For more information, see Naming Conventions.
- globaldefs::ConnectionDirection_T direction. Prime Optical supports CD_BI for bidirectional links and CD_UNI for unidirectional links.
- transmissionParameters::LayerRate_T rate. Supported. For a list of possible values, see Layer Rate.
- globaldefs::NamingAttributes_T aEndTP
– Supported parameters are listed in the following table.
3.3.6 getAllTopLevelTopologicalLinkNames
This interface has the same behavior as the interface described in getAllTopLevelTopologicalLinks, but instead of returning entire object structures, this interface returns their names.
3.3.7 getTopLevelTopologicalLink
This interface enables an NMS to request the top-level topological link if its name is under the control of the EMS.
If a link that is under the control of the EMS is removed from the NE, the ProvType parameter is reported as INVALID.
EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT - Raised when topoLinkName does not reference a top level topological link object.
3.3.8 createTopologicalLink
This interface enables an NMS to create a topological link manually between two MEs. Prime Optical supports topological link creation between MEs belonging to the same multilayer subnetwork. If Prime Optical autodiscovers a topological link between two endpoints on which a manually created link exists, Prime Optical overwrites the manually created topological link information with the autodiscovered topological link information. Prime Optical generates an attribute value change event when a manually created link is overwritten with autodiscovered topological link information. Prime Optical supports topological link creation between two unmanaged NEs, and also between a managed NE and an unmanaged NE. Prime Optical ignores the topological link layer rate if the topological link creation is between two unmanaged NEs.
Prime Optical generates an object creation event notification when a new topological link is created.
Note Prime Optical creates topological links between two PTPs even if there are no existing physical link connections in the network. To enable SDCC on the topological link, the NMS must ensure the presence of physical link connectivity.
Prime Optical support for TLCreateData_T structure is as follows:
– Supported. The value of this field is assigned to the name of the newly created topological link. For patchcord links, Prime Optical assigns the link name. The user label that is passed as input is ignored for patchcord links.
– Prime Optical guarantees the uniqueness of topological link names.
– Prime Optical supports CD_BI for bidirectional links.
– Prime Optical supports CD_UNI for unidirectional links.
- transmissionParameters::LayerRate_T rate. For a list of supported layer rates, see Layer Rate.
- globaldefs::NamingAttributes_T aEndTP
– Supported. The supported parameters are listed in the following table.
– Supported. This field holds the shared risk link group (SRLG) group values. This is an optional parameter. You can include the SRLG group during link creation. A maximum of five SRLG groups are supported for a given link. SRLG groups are only supported for SONET/SDH topological links.
To create unidirectional OTS links without side between 80WXC cards on the ONS15454 NEs, specify the parameter zEndSecSrc as secondary source and the parameter aEndSecDst as destination TP in the additionalCreationInfo list.
[3] name = zEndSecSrc value = name='EMS';value='Cisco Systems/CTM';name='ManagedElement';value='15454-ANSI-68-8';name='PTP';value='/rack=1/shelf=1/slot=13/port=10'
[4] name = aEndSecDst value = name='EMS';value='Cisco Systems/CTM';name='ManagedElement';value='15454-ANSI-68-9';name='PTP';value='/rack=1/shelf=1/slot=15/port=1'
In both of these examples, if the operator supplies any wrong parameters for secondary source/drop ports, the Cisco Prime Optical GateWay/CORBA interface returns an exception that reports the list of actual available ports retrieved from the ME, such as the following:
java.lang.String errorReason=The secondary PTP /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=15/port=10 does not belong to the list of available PTPs: /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=15/port=1, /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=15/port=2, /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=15/port=3, /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=15/port=4, /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=15/port=5, /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=15/port=6, /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=15/port=7, /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=15/port=8
If you do not provide a secondary source PTP, the primary link between the AendTP and the ZendTP is successfully created. However, while creating the reverse link, the GateWay/CORBA interface tries using the secondary source as the first element from the list of available PTPs returned by the ME/NCP layer (for example, /rack=1/shelf=1/slot=15/port=1). If such a PTP port is still available, the reverse link is created properly; otherwise, Prime Optical throws an exception.
It is recommended that you specify a secondary source PTP. If you do not specify the secondary source PTP, GateWay/CORBA, by default, uses the first item from the list of available PTPs. However, the element may also be invalid.
You have to specify the desired PTP in the additional creation info list in case of the availability of multiple choices.
3.3.9 createTopologicalLinkWithYCableProtection
This interface enables an NMS to create a Y-cable topological link manually between two managed elements. A Y-cable link is a bidirectional link with one PTP source and two PTP destinations. Because of the limitation in TMF for topological links that have one PTP source and one PTP destination, Prime Optical reports two topological links for a Y-cable link. These two topological links have the same nativeEMSName. See Topological Links for the naming convention for the Y-cable topological link object name. The destination of the Y-cable link must be on a DWDM card on an ONS 15454 SONET/SDH or on an ONS 155xx NE.
Prime Optical generates two object creation event notifications when a new Y-cable topological link is created.
The topological link returned by this method is one leg of the Y-cable.
Data structure containing details for creating a new Y-cable topological link. |
|||
One leg of the created Y-cable topological link information. |
Prime Optical support for MTLCreateData_T structure is as follows:
– Supported. The value of this field is assigned to the nativeEMSName of the newly created topological link.
– Prime Optical guarantees the uniqueness of topological link names.
– Supports only CD_BI for bidirectional links.
– Supported. It contains only one PTP.
– Supported. It contains two PTPs on the same ME.
– Supported. The supported parameters are listed in the following table.
– Supported. This field holds the SRLG group values. This is an optional parameter. You can include the SRLG group during link creation. A maximum of five SRLG groups are supported for a given link. SRLG groups are only supported for SONET/SDH topological links.
3.3.10 deleteTopologicalLink
This interface enables an NMS to delete a topological link manually between two managed elements. Prime Optical throws the EXCPT_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY exception if an attempt is made to delete an autodiscovered topological link or if the topological link cannot be deleted in the current state. Prime Optical generates an object deletion event notification when a topological link is deleted.
Note • Prime Optical deletes topological links between two PTPs even if there is a physical link connection in the network. The NMS must ensure the disabling of the SDCC, the deletion of all circuits carried through the link, and the removal of the physical link connectivity.
- Patchcord links are deleted twice. The first delete operation forces the link to become invalid, but the link information is still present in the Prime Optical database. The second delete operation removes the link information from the Prime Optical database.
EXCPT_ENTITY_NOT_FOUND - Raised if the specified topological link name does not exist in Prime Optical.
EXCPT_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY - Raised if an attempt is made to delete an auto-discovered topological link.
Prime Optical-defined. This interface is already proposed in TMF and will be included TMF Release 3.0.
3.3.11 modifyTopologicalLink
This interface enables an NMS to modify the following parameters of existing topological links:
- Cost attribute (modifiable only for SONET and SDH links)
- SRLG values (modifiable only for SONET and SDH links)
Note The modifyTopologicalLink API is not supported for links with patchcord provisioning. Also, you cannot use the modifyTopologicalLink API to modify the link description on any supported NEs.
Prime Optical support for TLCreateData_T structure is as follows:
– Supported. The value of this field is assigned to the name of the newly created topological link.
– Prime Optical guarantees the uniqueness of topological link names.
– Prime Optical supports CD_BI for bidirectional links and CD_UNI for unidirectional links.
- transmissionParameters::LayerRate_T rate. For a list of supported layer rates, see the layer rates supported in createTopologicalLink.
- globaldefs::NamingAttributes_T aEndTP
– Supported. The supported parameters are listed in the following table.
– Supported. This field holds the SRLG group values. This is an optional parameter. You can include the SRLG group during link creation. A maximum of five SRLG groups are supported for a given link. SRLG groups are supported only for SONET/SDH topological links.
3.3.12 getEMS
This interface enables an NMS to request EMS information.
Prime Optical supports EMS_T is as follows:
– EMS ID is returned as the same name that is displayed on the Prime Optical client EMS property sheet.
– Prime Optical returns the EMS ID that is displayed on the Prime Optical client EMS property sheet.
– Prime Optical returns “9.3.”
3.3.13 getAllL2Topologies
This interface lists all L2 topologies of a particular topology type in the EMS. The L2 topology has a scope in the EMS. Prime Optical supports only Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) and point-to-point L2 topology types.
Maximum number of L2 topologies to return in the first batch. |
|||
List of available L2 topologies in this multilayer subnetwork. |
|||
Prime Optical support for L2Topology_T structure is as follows:
– Supported. The field contains two tuples. The first tuple contains a value for EMS. The second tuple contains the L2 topology name.
– Supported. The L2 topology name is reported.
– Supported. This represents the total capacity of the L2 topology. L2TopoLayerRate_T contains the following information:
- LayerRate_T layerRate—Represents the layer rate of the SNCs. For VCAT, represents the layer rate of the member SNCs.
- Unsigned long numberOfVcatMembers—Represents the number of members in each SNC of an L2 topology consisting of all VCAT SNCs. In all other cases, it contains a value less than one and should be ignored.
- Supported layer rates are:
LR_STS1_and_AU3_High_Order_VC3
LR_Not_Applicable (if the L2 topology contains L1 SNCs with different layer rates or if the L2 topology contains a mix of CCAT and VCAT L1 SNCs)
– The L2 topology type. Valid values are L2TopoType.PT2PT, L2TopoType.RPR, and L2TopoType.DOT17_RPR.
– GateWay/CORBA handles the L2 topology states L2TopoState.COMPLETE and L2TopoState.INCOMPLETE.
Note The L2TopoState API does not take into consideration the L2 protection information (WRAPPING or STEERING). Consequently, the COMPLETE_WRAPPING and COMPLETE_STEERING states are remapped into COMPLETE. Likewise, the INCOMPLETE_WRAPPING and INCOMPLETE_STEERING states are remapped into INCOMPLETE.
– The operational state of the L2 topology. Valid values are L2TopoOperState.IS, L2TopoOperState.ISPARTIAL, and L2TopoOperState.OOS.
– The current L2 topology synchronization state. Valid values for L2TopoSyncState are:
- L2TopoSyncState. NEEDED
- L2TopoSyncState. INPROGRESS
- L2TopoSyncState. COMPLETE
- L2TopoSyncState. PARTIALLY_COMPLETE
- L2TopoSyncState. FAILED
- L2TopoSyncState. L2SERVICENOTREADY
- globaldefs::NVSList_T additionalInfo
– If the topology type is DOT17_RPR, the bandwidth parameter values return the absolute bandwidth reserved for the class of traffic. The return value is similar to 250 (Class A). The number 250 indicates 250 Mbps bandwidth reserved for Class A-type traffic. Multicast bandwidth parameters are not supported for this type of topology. If no values are defined for class types, the following default values are returned:
- ClassSpMgmt: C
- ClassCommitted: C
- ClassBestEffort: C
- ClassAvvidControl: B
- ClassAvvidVoiceVideo: A
- ClassAReservedBandwidth: 0
- ClassA1Bandwidth: 10
- ClassBCommittedBandwidth: 10
- SpMgmtCoS: 6, 7
- CommittedCoS: 1, 2
- AvvidVoiceVideoCoS: 5
- AvvidControlCoS: 3
- CosCommit: 2
– The bandwidth parameters SpMgmtBandwidth, CommittedBandwidth, BestEffortBandwidth, AvvidControlBandwidth, SpMgmtCoS, CommittedCoS, AvvidVoiceVideoCoS, AvvidControlCoS, and the CoS value CosCommit are supported. Either all or none of these parameters are passed. Each of the bandwidth parameters (SpMgmtBandwidth, CommittedBandwidth, BestEffortBandwidth, and AvvidControlBandwidth) is from 1 to 96; the sum of all four bandwidth parameters is from 1 to 99. The CoS commit value is from 0 to 7. If none of these parameters is passed, Prime Optical takes the following default values:

3.3.16 getQoSTemplate
This interface lists the complete QoSTemplate information for each QoSTemplate name. The QoSTemplate has a scope in the EMS.
For details about the QoSTemplate_T structure, see getAllQoSTemplateNames.
3.3.17 getAllEMSandMEClearedAlarms
This interface enables an NMS to request all of the cleared and acknowledged alarms that are under the control of the EMS (both alarms raised by the NEs and alarms raised by the EMS itself). Some alarms may be filtered out (excluded) by specifying their probable causes or severities.
Due to performance concerns, this operation is restricted to enable only one OSS client to access it at one time. Otherwise, Prime Optical throws the EXCPT_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY exception.
The result of this operation is independent of the filtering set up by the NMS for the notification service.
ONS 15310, ONS 15327, ONS 15454 SONET, ONS 15454 SDH, ONS 15600 SONET, and ONS 15600 SDH

Supported. The CTP for the serverTrailLink aEnd.
Supported. The CTP for the serverTrailLink zEnd.
Supported. The supported parameters are listed in the following table.
Supported. This field holds the SRLG group values. This is an optional parameter that you can include in the SRLG group during the link creation. A maximum of five SRLG groups are supported for a given link. SRLG groups are only supported for SONET/SDH server trail links.
3.3.21 deleteServerTrailLink
This interface enables an NMS to delete a server trail link manually between two MEs. Prime Optical throws the EXCPT_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY exception if the server trail link cannot be deleted in the current state. Prime Optical generates an object deletion event notification when a server trail link is deleted.
EXCPT_ENTITY_NOT_FOUND - Raised if the specified server trail link name does not exist in Prime Optical.
3.3.23 addMultiLayerSubnetwork
void addMultiLayerSubnetwork(in MultiLayerSubnetworkCreateData _T subnetCreateData) raises(globaldefs::ProcessingFailureException);
This interface allows the NMS to add a new multilayer subnetwork. Upon successful addition, the EMS generates an object creation event for the multilayer subnetwork object.
The structure for MultiLayerSubnetworkCreateData _T is as follows:
The description of each parameter is as follows:
The NMS uses the additionalInfo attribute to communicate to the EMS any other information required to create the multiLayerSubnetwork. |
The structure of Additional Info is as follows:
The parameter name “Type” in additionalInfo can have the following values:
3.3.24 deleteNetworkPartition
This interface enables the OSS to delete an existing network partition.
3.3.25 deleteMultiLayerSubnetwork
void deleteMultiLayerSubnetwork(in globaldefs::NamingAttributes_T subnetworkName) raises(globaldefs::ProcessingFailureException);
This interface allows the NMS to delete an existing subnetwork. Successful operation requires the EMS to generate an object deletion event.
3.4 EmsSession::EmsSession_I
The emsSession module enables the client to query the EMS to determine the manager interfaces that the EMS supports. The NMS retrieves an instance of the required manager interface objects. This interface is inherited from session::Session_I.
3.4.1 getEventChannel
This interface enables an NMS to access the event channel to receive notifications. Prime Optical publishes the name of the notification channel through the naming service. You can use the naming service to get the corresponding object reference.
3.4.2 getManager
This interface enables an NMS to access the specified manager interface.
3.5 emsSessionFactory::EmsSessionFactory_I
A single instance of the EmsSessionFactory_I is the entry point to the EMS. The NMS uses this object reference to connect to Prime Optical. This interface implements the version interface and returns the server IDL version. It is inherited from mtnmVersion::Version_I.
3.5.1 getEmsSession
This interface enables the NMS to obtain the EmsSession_I object, which contains all managers of the EMS.
Prime Optical allows 4 to 25 concurrent login sessions and as many user profiles as required for configuring the number of concurrent login sessions. See Location of the Naming Service IOR File to configure the number of concurrent login sessions. The username and password must contain from 1 to 53 characters.
This interface can also accept the encrypted username and password. To enable encryption on the username and password, check the Enable encryption for username and password check box in the Prime Optical client Control Panel for the GateWay/CORBA service. Prime Optical then decrypts the username and password accordingly.
To encrypt the username and password, you must use the RSA algorithm with the public key or the public key pair provided by Prime Optical. To obtain the Prime Optical public key, use the emsSessionFactory::EmsSessionFactory_I::getEmsPublicKey API. To obtain the Prime Optical public key pair, use the emsSessionFactory::EmsSessionFactory_I::getEmsPublicKeyPair API.
3.5.2 getEmsPublicKey
This interface enables the NMS to obtain the string representation of the RSA public key encoded in the Base64 encoding scheme. The operation encrypts the username and password from the string representation of the RSA public key.
The OSS client must use the Base64 decoders to decode the public key and get the byte[] of the public key from the decoded public key string. The byte[] corresponding to the public key represents the key in its primary encoded format; in this case, X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo.
You can create the RSA public key using this byte array and cryptographic libraries. Use this key to encrypt the username and password. Bouncy Castle Provider is an example of a security provider that you can use to create the RSA public key.
The public key is then used to encrypt the username and password. Before passing the encrypted password to Prime Optical for login, the OSS client must encode the encrypted username and password using the Base64 encoder to get the string equivalent of the encrypted data.
3.5.3 getEmsPublicKeyPair
This interface enables the NMS to obtain the string representation of the RSA public key pair (in the modulus and exponent forms) from Prime Optical for encrypting the username and password.
The OSS client must convert the string representation of the public key modulus and public key exponent into a nonnegative integer and create an RSA public key using cryptographic libraries. Crypto++ is one of the security providers available.
Before passing the encrypted password to Prime Optical for login, the OSS client must use the Base64 encoder to encode the encrypted username and password. This provides the string equivalent of the encrypted data.
3.6 equipment::EquipmentInventoryMgr_I
This interface accesses operations that deal with equipment. A handle to an instance of this interface is gained through the getManager operation in emsSession. This interface is inherited from common::Common_I.

3.6.6 getAllSupportingEquipmentNames
This interface has the same behavior as the operation described in getAllSupportingEquipment, but returns the object name instead of returning the entire object.
3.6.7 getContainedEquipment
This interface returns the equipment and equipment holders that a specific equipment holder contains. This interface differs from getAllEquipment in that it looks only at the next level of the containment hierarchy.
Name of the equipment holder for which to retrieve the directly contained equipment and equipment holders. Prime Optical also accepts the ME name as a value for this parameter. |
|||
EquipmentOrHolderList_T is a list of EquipmentOrHolder_T, which is defined as a union of Equipment_T and EquipmentHolder_T structures. For details about both structures, see getAllEquipment.
EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT - Raised when equipmentHolderName does not reference an equipment holder object.
3.6.8 getEquipment
This interface returns the equipment or equipment holder for specific equipment or equipment holder names.
EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT - Raised when equipmentOrHolderName does not reference an equipment or an equipment holder.
3.6.9 provisionEquipment
This interface enables the NMS to permanently provision a piece of equipment in an equipment holder in an ME. The result of this operation is the creation of the equipment object and all of its related objects, such as TPs. The resulting object is returned.
The equipment holder that contains the equipment must exist. The equipment object can already exist, but the equipment holder must not have expected equipment already provisioned.
If the equipment is provisioned successfully, Prime Optical generates a state change event on the holder state change and an object creation event for the equipment, and pushes them to the event channel.
It is important to note that the ONS 15454 SONET detects new equipment and provisions it automatically, provided that the equipment holder (slot) is empty and is not preprovisioned for another module type.
The equipment must be from the acceptableEquipmentTypeList of the slots. If these slots are selected to provision any other type of card, Prime Optical returns the EXCPT_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY exception.
PPMs and PIMs can also be provisioned using this interface.
It is not necessary to know the subtypes of the OC-n card at the time of provisioning. When equipment is actually installed, Prime Optical reports the subtype in the name field of the equipment.
For the ONS 15600 SONET and ONS 15600 SDH, each CXC or SSXC card occupies two slots (slots 6 and 7 or slots 8 and 9), and the NMS can specify any one of the slots to provision a CXC or SSXC card.
Prime Optical support for EQTCreateData_T structure is as follows:
– This parameter must take one of the values for equipment described in getAllEquipment.
Note This interface is not applicable for configuring payloads for client ports in TXP_MR_10G.
3.6.10 setAlarmReportingOff
This interface disables alarm reporting on a piece of equipment. If successful, Prime Optical sends a warning alarm notification. For optical NEs, the interface supports the node names as equipment only when the NE alarms are configured with "off."
EXCPT_ENTITY_NOT_FOUND - Raised when equipmentOrHolderName references an object that does not exist.
3.6.11 setAlarmReportingOn
This interface enables alarm reporting on a piece of equipment.
The default setting for alarmReporting is “on.” If the alarmReporting status is off, it indicates that a warning alarm has been raised for it. Prime Optical generates a cleared warning alarm if successful. For optical NEs, the interface supports the node names as equipment only when the NE alarms are configured with "off."
EXCPT_ENTITY_NOT_FOUND - Raised when equipmentOrHolderName references an object that does not exist.
3.6.12 unprovisionEquipment
This interface enables the NMS to permanently unprovision equipment from the managed element. The successful result of this operation is the potential deletion of the equipment object and all of its related objects, such as termination points.
The ONS 15454 SONET does not allow a user to unprovision a piece of equipment that is in use (SNC is created on this equipment). However, if the equipment is present in the slot and is not in use, it can be unprovisioned. If the equipment is not physically removed from the slot and new equipment is not provisioned in the same slot, the NE redetects the equipment in approximately 1 minute. If the equipment is not physically removed from the slot and new equipment of a different type is provisioned in the same slot, the NE generates an equipment mismatch alarm.
If the equipment is unprovisioned successfully, Prime Optical generates a state change event on the holder state change and an object deletion event for the equipment, and pushes them to the event channel.
The ONS 15454 reserves slots 7 and 11 for TCC. One of these slots has an in-service TCC card. If the NMS invokes unprovisionEquipment on this equipment, Prime Optical throws the EXCPT_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY exception.
Note This interface is not applicable for configuring payloads for client ports in TXP_MR_10G.

Supported. Two parameters are sent in this field:
– A name/value pair for the IP address with the name “IPAddress.”
– A name/value pair for the operational state with the name “OperationalState,” containing the following values. The emsInSyncState value is determined by the OperationalState value. A state change event is generated whenever the state of emsInSyncState changes.
3.8.4 getAllManagedElementNames
This interface has the same behavior as getAllManagedElements, but instead of returning entire object structures, this operation returns their names.
3.8.5 getAllPTPs
This interface allows an NMS to request all PTPs on a specific ME that contain one or more NMS-specified PTP layer rates, and that are capable of supporting one or more NMS-specified connection layer rates. If no PTPs match the layer constraints, an empty list is returned. A PTP is returned regardless of connectivity to other MEs or position in the subnetwork. (Both PTPs at the subnetwork edge and PTPs that are internal to the subnetwork are reported.)
For PTPs on protection equipment in a 1_FOR_N protection group, Prime Optical reports only the AlarmReporting for the LayeredParameters of the PTPs.

3.8.7 getContainedInUseTPs
This interface retrieves the in-use CTPs contained in a specific PTP, at specific layer rates. An in-use CTP is a CTP used by an SNC in any state (including pending) or a CTP that is terminated and mapped.
Example for SONET: The NMS invokes this method on an OC3 PTP (and assumes that the NE does not have an XCVT card, so VT-level cross-connects are not possible) with an empty layerRateList.
- If there are no SNCs created, Prime Optical returns zero CTPs.
- If there is one SNC created at the STS-1 level, Prime Optical returns one CTP at the STS-1 layer rate.
Example for SDH: The NMS invokes this method on an STM-1 PTP (and assumes that the NE does not have an XC10G card, so VC12-level cross-connects are not possible) with an empty layerRateList.
- If there are no SNCs created, Prime Optical returns zero CTPs.
- If there is one SNC created at the VC4 level, Prime Optical returns one CTP at the VC4 layer rate.

3.8.17 setTPData
This interface allows the NMS to set parameters on a specific TP. The results tell the NMS which modifications succeeded.
Prime Optical supports the following parameters for CTPs:
To completely remove the path trace, the NMS must set TrailTraceMonitor to Off and TrailTraceExpectedRx to an empty string in one call.
If the NMS sends only TrailTraceExpectedRx, Prime Optical sets TrailTraceMonitor to On and sets the value of the expected string. If TrailTraceExpectedRx contains an empty string as the only parameter in the call, Prime Optical changes TrailTraceMonitor to On and sets the expected string to an empty string. To completely remove the path trace, the NMS must set TrailTraceMonitor to Off and set TrailTraceExpectedRx to an empty string in one call.
Prime Optical supports the following parameters for PTPs:
The SDH_SONET_SS_BITS parameter can be modified only when EnableSyncMsg is Off. EnableSyncMsg can be set to On only if SDH_SONET_SS_BITS is set to SONET.
The SDH_SONET_SS_BITS and EnableSyncMsg parameters must be modified by invoking two separate method calls. If you try to use the same method to modify SDH_SONET_SS_BITS and EnableSyncMsg, Prime Optical generates a processing failure exception.
The setTPData interface does not apply to the following ML-series card parameters that are configurable through Cisco IOS:
- Admin state, MTU size, and COS accounting for POS and Ethernet interfaces.
- Speed, duplex, and flow control for Ethernet interfaces.
Prime Optical supports the following automatic laser shutdown parameters on PTPs. These parameters are not defined by the TMF.
If the equipment is the protecting equipment in a 1_For_N protection group, Prime Optical sets the PTPs on the equipment to AlarmReporting.
Prime Optical supports only the following parameters for FTPs:
For valid values for each parameter, see Table 3-4 in getAllSupportedPTPs.
You must use the Prime Optical client to set other TP parameters.
Invoking this method from the NMS is a synchronous call.

This interface provides a way to create and activate a subnetwork connection in one command. It is Prime Optical-specific and not TMF-defined. According to the TMF, the SNC name is assigned by the EMS when it creates the SNC. However, if the NMS is to control the SNC name, it must use this method. The NMS provides the name of the SNC in the userLabel field of the SNCCreateData input parameter. Prime Optical uses the userLabel value and assign it to the name of the new SNC. Prime Optical also verifies the uniqueness of the name. The operation fails if an SNC with the same name as the userLabel exists. This is an asynchronous operation. Successful completion of this operation only guarantees delivery of the creation request to Prime Optical. Operation on CTPs of this SNC might still fail.
Optionally, you can also provide a description for the SNC by entering it in the additionalCreationInfo field.
Prime Optical cleans up resources if SNC creation fails. For example, if Prime Optical fails to create the SNC on the destination node, Prime Optical also cleans up resources on the source node.
If the OC-n port is configured for SDH, Prime Optical can create the SNC. Prime Optical supports only those layer rates supported by the NE. However, IPPM and J1 path tracing are not supported for CTPs of this SNC.
FTPs can be used as A ends and Z ends of the SNCs. A typical use of FTP is to create an SNC on Ethernet equipment, create a tunnel SNC, or create a VAP/LAP circuit. See Provisioning Subnetwork Connections for more information.
Creating SNCs between ONS 15327 nodes or ONS 15310, and between ONS 15600 nodes is identical to creating SNCs between ONS 15454 nodes. It is also possible to create SNCs among ONS 15327, ONS 15454, and ONS 15600 nodes.
Prime Optical supports protection channel access (PCA). PCA SNCs are unprotected. For details about PCA, see the NE documentation.
You can provide a description for the SNC. Enter the description in the additionalCreationInfo field.
To create a dual-ring interconnect SNC, set the staticProtectionLevel value in createData to HIGHLY_PROTECTED. Use the CTC or Prime Optical client to modify the Hold-off Timer attribute for this SNC.
The following types of circuit creation are not supported:
- Monitor circuits
- STS-1 on DS1 cards and VC-4 on E1 and E1_42 cards
- DRI circuits with constraint routing
In addition to specifying SNC creation parameters using the SNCCreateData_T structure, the NMS can provide a partial or complete list of MEs or both end PTPs of a topological link to include or exclude in the SNC route during SNC creation. The NMS can specify only one type of object name list during the SNC creation. Prime Optical returns a processing failure exception if the NMS-specified list is not homogeneous. Prime Optical returns a processing failure exception with EXCPT_ENTITY_NOT_FOUND as the error reason if any one of the specified MEs or PTPs does not exist. If the NMS specifies a PTP list, Prime Optical verifies whether PTPs are specified in pairs and each PTP of a PTP pair is associated with each end PTP of the same topological link. Prime Optical uses the first PTP of a PTP pair as the aEnd of the topological link, and uses the second PTP of the same PTP pair as the zEnd of the topological link. Prime Optical attempts to route the SNC from the aEnd PTP of a PTP pair to the zEnd PTP of the same pair on a topological link. Prime Optical returns a processing failure exception if the SNC cannot be routed from the specified aEnd PTP to the zEnd PTP of a topological link. The NMS then must interchange the aEnd PTP and zEnd PTP specified, or provide a different PTP pair, or delete the PTP pair from the include or exclude list. Prime Optical returns a processing failure exception if at least one PTP is not associated with a topological link. The NMS must ensure that the sequence of the object name list conforms to the sequence of the objects that exist in the network. Prime Optical returns a processing failure exception if the sequence is nonconforming.
In addition to specifying SNC creation parameters using the SNCCreateData_T structure, the NMS can provide a complete list of CTP pairs representing the complete route of the SNC. Each CTP pair represents the two endpoints of one span in the SNC route. A span represents a partial route of an SNC with the endpoints specified on the endpoints of a topological link. Prime Optical processes the input list in CTP pairs. Prime Optical assumes each pair represents the two endpoints of a span, and the CTP native names are the same for the two endpoints (the STS numbers are the same for each CTP pair). The NMS must ensure that the sequence of spans represented by the CTP pairs conforms to the sequence existing in the network. Prime Optical returns a processing failure exception if the sequence is nonconforming.
If you create an SNC with at least one endpoint on ML-series equipment, Prime Optical identifies the SNC for a new Layer 2 point-to-point topology. Prime Optical creates a new Layer 2 point-to-point topology and an object creation event is generated to notify for the creation of a new L2 point-to-point topology in Prime Optical.
Prime Optical provides support for the creation of open-ended path-protection circuits. There are two types of SNCs that can be created for open-ended path-protection circuits.
For one source point and two destination endpoints, the NMS must specify the source point in SNCCreateData_T.aEnd, and the two destination endpoints in SNCCreateData_T.zEnd.
For two source points and one destination endpoint, the NMS must specify two source points in SNCCreateData_T.aEnd and one destination endpoint in SNCCreateData_T.zEnd.
Prime Optical supports optical channel SNC creation on WDM cards through this method. See SNC Provisioning on WDM Equipment for detailed information. The sncSize field in additionalCreationInfo is used to specify the size of the optical channel SNC.
Prime Optical supports OCH trail SNC creation on DWDM transponder/muxponder cards or ITU-T line cards through a DWDM network. See SNC Provisioning on WDM Equipment.
For the ONS 15454 SONET, this operation enables you to create an end-to-end STS-1 circuit using the portless transmux interfaces of the transmux card as an intermediate connection point. Information about the high-density portless transmux card (DS3XM-12) can be provided using the usePortlessTransmux, portlessTransmuxMeName, portlessTransmuxSlot, and isSourceDS3MappedSTS attributes in the additionalCreationInfo field.
Prime Optical does not support locking.
For details about the SubnetworkConnection_T structure, see getAllSNCs.
Prime Optical support for the SNCCreateData_T structure is as follows:
Supported. The value in this field is assigned to the name of the newly created SNC.
Prime Optical guarantees the uniqueness of SNCs if they are all created by Prime Optical. Prime Optical cannot guarantee the uniqueness if any other tool has been used instead.
Prime Optical supports CD_UNI (unidirectional), CD_BI (bidirectional), CD_UNI_EW (unidirectional east-to-west), CD_UNI_WE (unidirectional west-to-east), CD_BI_EW (bidirectional east-to-west), and CD_BI_WE (bidirectional west-to-east).
Prime Optical supports UNPROTECTED, FULLY_PROTECTED, and HIGHLY_PROTECTED. Prime Optical does not support any other value.
Prime Optical supports all values defined by the TMF.
If the NMS requests an unprotected SNC on a BLSR ring, Prime Optical creates the SNC. The same is true for an unprotected SNC with 1+1 protection.
If the NMS specifies EFFORT_SAME_OR_WORSE or EFFORT_WHATEVER, Prime Optical expects the value of staticProtectionLevel to be UNPROTECTED. These values indicate that Prime Optical must create the PCA.
Prime Optical supports the following layer rates:
Supported. You must provide a list of managed element names or the PTP names at the endpoints of the topological link. For complete manual routing, you must provide the list of all CTPs of the links (OCH trail links, if any) to which the circuit must be routed.
For protected OCHNC and OCHCC circuits, this parameter defines only the inclusion routing constraints for the working path of the circuit. To define the constraints for the protected path, Prime Optical provides the additional info parameters “includedProtectedME” and “excludedProtectedME.”
Supported. Prime Optical expects a list of managed element names or the PTP names at the endpoints of the TopologicalLink to exclude from the SNC route.
For protected OCHNC and OCHCC circuits, this parameter defines only the exclusion routing constraints for the working path of the circuit. To define the constraints for the protected path, Prime Optical provides the additional info parameters “includedProtectedME” and “excludedProtectedME.”
Supported. Prime Optical expects at least one valid CTP or FTP in this list. At most, two valid CTPs can be in the list.
Supported. Prime Optical expects at least one valid CTP or FTP in this list. At most, two valid CTPs can be in the list.
This list can be used to provide additional parameters for SNC creation. The following table provides additional Prime Optical-supported parameters for SNC creation. For more information, refer to the ONS 15454 SONET user documentation.
Prime Optical does not support tolerableImpact (GradesOfImpact_T). Circuits created on the ONS 15327 and ONS 15454 do not impact existing traffic.
Prime Optical does not support emsFreedomLevel (EMSFreedomLevel_T). Prime Optical has full control of SNC creation.
EXCPT_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY – Raised if the SNC cannot be created and activated because CTP conflicts with other SNC or NE does not support this SNC creation. This exception is also raised when Prime Optical cannot meet protection levels or there is no bandwidth available.
3.9.17 CreateAndActivateSNC
This interface is identical to createAndActivateSNCFromUserLabel, except that Prime Optical assigns the name of the created subnetwork connection. The userLabel field in SNCCreateData_T can remain blank. Even if the user label is specified, Prime Optical ignores it and assigns a user label to the SNC.
3.9.18 (Deprecated) createAndActivateProtectedOchccFromUserLabel
This interface has the same behavior as createAndActivateSNCFromUserLabel, but is used only to create protected OCHCC circuits when it is necessary to specify route constraints for the protected path.
Note This API has been deprecated from CTM R9.0.
3.9.19 addDrops
This proprietary interface supports SNCs with multiple drops for the ONS 15310, ONS 15327, and ONS 15454. There are two steps to create an SNC with multiple drops:
Step 1 Invoke the operation described in createAndActivateSNCFromUserLabel to create a unidirectional SNC between two nodes.
Step 2 Invoke this operation to add new drop points to an existing SNC.
Note • The layer rate must match the SNC layer rate. This interface performs on a best-effort basis. If Prime Optical fails to add one or more TPs to the SNC, it generates an UNABLE_TO_COMPLY exception. The errorReason contains a list of CTPs that failed.
- Depending on the card type, the terminology is CTP or FTP . For example, termination points on CE-MR-6 cards are CTPs when the cards are configured for manual mode. For CE-MR-6 cards configured for automatic mode, the termination points are FTPs.
Name of the subnetwork connection to which to add termination points (either CTPs or FTPs). |
|||
List of additional termination points (either CTPs or FTPs) to add to the SNC. |
EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT - Raised when sncName does not refer to an SNC object, or layer rate of any CTP does not match the SNC layer.
EXCPT_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY – Raised if the CTP is in use by other SNC. This exception is also raised when there is no bandwidth available.
3.9.20 deactivateAndDeleteSNC
This interface provides a way to deactivate and then delete a subnetwork connection in one operation.
Prime Optical removes resources allocated to this SNC from each node. Successful completion of this asynchronous operation guarantees only delivery of the deletion request to Prime Optical. The NMS waits for an OBJECT_DELETION event for the SNC.
Prime Optical performs this operation in two steps:
1. The first step is validation. This is performed synchronously. If successful, this operation returns successfully. If validation fails, the NMS receives an exception.
2. After a successful validation, the second step is the actual deletion of resources from all NEs. This step is performed asynchronously. Prime Optical changes the SNC state to SNCS_DELETING and sends a notification to the NMS. Upon successful completion, Prime Optical generates an OBJECT_DELETION event. If Prime Optical loses connectivity to one or more nodes on the SNC, it aborts the cleanup and generates an SNCS_PARTIAL state change event. The NMS must reinvoke this method when connectivity to the node is restored. If the deletion fails but the state remains SNCS_ACTIVE, Prime Optical generates an AVC event. These SNC state change events are generated as part of the Prime Optical operation only. If another interface is used, Prime Optical cannot generate these events.
For details about the SubnetworkConnection_T structure, see getAllSNCs.
EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT - Raised when sncName does not refer to an SNC object, or any field in tpsToModify is invalid.
3.9.21 getVCATSNC

Supported. At least one member L1 SNC must be created at the time of VCAT SNC creation. Prime Optical expects user to specify the create data information required to create the L1 SNC(s) in this data structure. For complete information on SNCCreateData_T structure, see createAndActivateSNCFromUserLabel. For every L1 SNC, you must specify an additionalCreationParamemter vcatMemberId, which must contain a unique value from 1 to 256.
This list can be used to provide additional parameters for VCAT creation. Prime Optical supports the following values:
Supported. You must provide a list of managed element names or the PTP names at the endpoints of the topological link. For complete manual routing, you must provide the list of all CTPs of the links (OCH trail links, if any) to which the circuit must be routed.
EXCPT_UNABLE_TO_COMPLY – Raised if the VCAT SNC cannot be created and activated because FTP conflicts with another VCAT SNC or NE does not support this VCAT SNC creation. This exception is also raised when Prime Optical cannot meet protection levels or there is no bandwidth available.
3.9.27 deleteVCAT
This interface deletes the VCAT specified in the input. Prime Optical generates an object deletion event for the VCAT SNC that was deleted and for the individual Layer 1 SNCs that were deleted.
3.9.28 addMemberSNCsToVCAT
This interface adds a member SNC to the VCAT that is specified in the input. Prime Optical generates an attribute value change event for the VCAT SNC that was modified due to the addition of the new SNC(s), and an object creation event for the member L1 SNCs that were created.
For each new member, you must specify an additional creation parameter called “vcatMemberId,” which is a unique number from 1 to 256. The value that you choose cannot be in use by any other members that belong to the VCAT SNC.
3.9.29 deleteMemberSNCsFromVCAT
This interface deletes a member SNC from the VCAT specified in the input. Prime Optical generates an attribute value change event for the VCAT SNC that was modified due to the deletion of the member SNC, and an object deletion event for the member L1 SNC that was deleted.
3.9.30 deleteAllMemberSNCFromVCAT
This interface deletes all member SNCs in the VCAT group that is specified during input. If boolean value is set to true, all member SNCs in the transmit direction are deleted. If boolean value is set to false, all member SNCs in the receive direction are deleted. For symmetrical VCAT, this value is ignored; all member circuits in both transmit and receive directions are deleted. Prime Optical generates an attribute value change for the VCAT SNC modified due to the deletion of member SNC(s), and an object deletion event for the member L1 SNCs deleted.
3.9.31 getValidSubnetworkConnectionsForMerge
This interface is used to get the list of SNCs for the Merge operation. The SncFilterCriteria specifies the SNCs that are requested. These SNCs are lined up. The master SNC name specifies the name of the SNC with which the candidates will merge. The how_many parameter provides the list of SNCs that will be returned.
Note The valid SncUpgradeInfo value supported by GateWay/CORBA is Merge. The valid SncFilterCriteria value supported by GateWay/CORBA is LINED_UP. The available values that will be supported in the future are listed in the ENUM definitions in the following table.
3.9.32 upgrade
This interface is used to merge or configure a list of SNCs to the SNC reported in the masterSncName. This interface supports STRICT MERGE and LOOSE MERGE as operation types from the OSS. The LOOSE MERGE option in SncUpgradeInfo_T is available only if a strict operation failed and the OSS receives a processing failure exception with EXCPT_STRICT_MERGE_FAILED.
There is no restriction in GateWay/CORBA to prevent a LOOSE MERGE operation from the OSS during a normal call.
3.9.33 createRoll
Prime Optical supports roll creation on optical CTPs. Electrical CTPs and FTPs are not supported for bridge and roll creation.
Prime Optical generates an Object Creation event for the roll created and subnetwork connections created as part of the roll creation. The subnetwork connections that are created as part of the roll creation will be named as nativeEMSName of the SNC appended with _ROLL** where ** is a number.
The creation of bridge and roll is an asynchronous process. If the operation fails, Prime Optical cleans up all resources. For example, if Prime Optical fails to create a bridge and roll on one node, it also cleans up resources on other nodes.
For details about the Roll_T structure, see getAllRolls.
Prime Optical support for RollCreateData_T is as follows:
Supported. This refers to the name of the SNC to roll partially or fully. If two SNCs are specified, the first SNC will be the RollFromSNC and the second SNC will be the RollToSNC.
Supported. This refers to the fully qualified name of the CTP of the SNC. This CTP is the fixed point of the roll. In cases where the rollType is DUAL, there will be two fixed points in the roll. The first fixCTP indicates the first fixed point in the roll object and the second fixCTP indicates the second fixed point of the roll.
Supported. This refers to the fully qualified name of the CTP of the SNC. This CTP is either the source or destination or any other associated CTP of the SNC. In cases where the rollType is DUAL, the first element in the array indicates the first rollFromCTP point and the second element in the array indicates the second rollFromCTP point.
Note If the rollFromCTP can be determined from the fixed CTP, the value is ignored.
Supported. This refers to the fully qualified name of the CTP where the roll occurs. In cases where the rollType is DUAL, the first element in the array indicates the first rollToCTP point and the second element in the array indicates the second rollToCTP point.
Supported. Prime Optical expects a list of managed element names or PTP names of the endpoint of a topological link or CTP name pair representing the endpoints of the span to include in the subnetwork connection route. For complete manual routing, Prime Optical expects the list of all CTPs of the links (OCH Trail circuit links, if any) to which the circuit must be routed. If the OSS specifies a CTP pair in the neTpInclusions, the entire path for the subnetwork connection must be specified.
Supported. Prime Optical expects a list of managed element names or PTP names of the endpoint of a topological link representing the endpoints of the span to exclude in the subnetwork connection route.
Prime Optical supports the following for the subnetwork connection that is created as part of the roll creation:
Note Prime Optical does not support other values.
If the NMS requests unprotected SNC on a BLSR ring, Prime Optical creates the SNC. The same is true for unprotected SNC on 1+1 protection.
If the NMS requests EFFORT_SAME_OR_WORSE or EFFORT_WHATEVER, Prime Optical expects a value of staticProtectionLevel of UNPROTECTED. These values indicate that Prime Optical must create the PCA.
Prime Optical support for Roll_T is described in getAllRolls.
EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT - Raised when sncName does not refer to an SNC object, or any field in rollCreateData is invalid, or the data does not conform to roll creation rules.
EXCPT_NE_COMM_LOSS - Raised when communication to the managed element is lost and this prevents the deactivation of the SNC.

3.9.37 completeRoll
This interface must run on manual rolls (RollMode_T.MANUAL).
Prime Optical generates a state change event upon completion of the roll.
3.9.38 finishRoll
This interface is invoked to finish rolls. When the roll is finished, it is cleared from the rolls list and the new rolled SNC becomes active.
3.9.39 getAllRolls
This interface returns a list of rolls within the subnetwork whose name is passed as a parameter.
3.9.40 getAllRollNames
This interface returns a list of roll names within the subnetwork whose name is passed as a parameter.
3.9.42 getAssociatedSNCNamesForRoll
This interface returns the rollFrom SNC name and rollTo SNC name for a roll whose name is passed as a parameter. For circuit bridge-and-roll operations, the Prime Optical client Rolls table contains roll-from circuit and roll-to circuit attributes. The getAssociatedSNCNamesForRoll method returns these attributes for a given circuit roll.
3.9.43 createAndActivateSNCOnDRI
This structure was introduced to provide BLSR-DRI protection support. This structure is not defined by TMF. This structure is similar to createAndActivateSNCOnUserLabel (see getSNCsByUserLabel for more details) except that a new field, driNode, has been added.
The structure of DRISNCCreateData_T is as follows:
The structure of DRINodes_T is as follows:
Prime Optical support for DriNode_T structure is as follows:
This field defines integer values that categorize the BLSR-DRI as traditional or nontraditional BLSR-DRI. In Prime Optical type = 0 means it is a dummy node, 1 = traditional. and 2 = nontraditional.
This field indicates whether or not the RIP option is supported.
This structure holds the primary and secondary nodes. The sDriNodePair structure is as follows:
– globaldefs::NamingAttributes_T PrimaryME—Defines the primary DRI node.
– globaldefs::NamingAttributes_T SecondaryME —Defines the secondary DRI node.
– globaldefs::NamingAttributesList requiredRings—Holds the ring information. The first name value tuple represents EMS instance and the second one holds the BLSR ring ID.
3.9.44 addManagedElement
This interface allows the NMS to add a new managed element to the specified subnetwork.
- If the operation fails, an exception is returned, and the managed element is not added to the subnetwork.
- If the operation succeeds, a managed element is added to the specified subnetwork. The EMS populates the ME communication state, its supported layer rates, and emsInSyncState when connectivity to the ME is established.
Prime Optical generates an NT_OBJECT_CREATION event upon successful addition of a managed element.
The structure of MEAdditionalData_T is as follows:
The description of each field is as follows:
- string userLabel—User-specified label of the managed element.
- string nativeEMSName—nativeEMSName of the managed element to add.
- string owner—Owner of the managed element.
- string location—Location of the managed element.
- string version—The NMS can specify the ME version; however, this value is overwritten when the ME is put in service and the EMS retrieves the actual version information.
- string productName—Product name of the managed element.
- globaldefs::NVSList_T additionalInfo—Parameters that must be specified to the EMS to add the ME; for example, IP address, ME username, password, and any other vendor-specific proprietary data.
Prime Optical support for addManagedElement is as follows:
- globaldefs::NamingAttributes_T managedElementName: Not supported
- globaldefs::NamingAttributes_T containingSubnetworkName: Supported

The user VLAN ID to associate with this ML VLAN. If the connection type is L2ConnectionType_T.L2CT_DOT1Q, the valid port VLAN range is from 2 to 4096. If the connection type is L2ConnectionType_T.L2CT_UNTAGGED, the port VLAN is ignored.
Supported. You can specify the customerID and service ID.
Prime Optical support for MLVLAN_T structure is as follows:
Supported. This field contains three tuples. The first tuple has the EMS value. The second tuple has the L2 topology name. The third tuple has the ML VLAN ID that is the same as nativeEMSName.
Supported. The ML VLAN ID is reported.
Supported. Specifies the list of all front Ethernet ports and associated service type.
If the port type on a port cannot be determined, Prime Optical represents the port type as L2PortType_T.L2PT_UNKNOWN.
If the connection type for an ML VLAN on a port cannot be determined, Prime Optical represents the connection type as L2ConnectionType_T.L2CT_UNKNOWN.
Supported. Valid values are MLVLANState_T.COMPLETE and MLVLANState_T.INCOMPLETE. A state change event is generated if the VLAN state changes.
Supported. The customer ID and service ID are reported.
EXCPT_ENTITY_NOT_FOUND - Raised when l2TopologyName references an L2 topology object that does not exist.
3.10.2 modifyMLVLANAddFrontPorts
This interface adds additional front ports to the existing MVLAN. An attribute change event is reported when the front ports are successfully added. Prime Optical does not specify which attribute of the ML VLAN has changed. The NMS must obtain updated MLVLAN_T structure information. If the addition of any of the front ports to the ML VLAN fails, Prime Optical generates a processing failure exception. The NMS user must requery the ML VLAN information to obtain the new set of parameters associated with the ML VLAN.
For details about the MLVLAN_T, MLVLANTPData_T structure, see createMLVLAN.
EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT - Raised when l2TopologyName does not reference an L2 topology object or when one or more PTPs in the PTP list does not reference a PTP object.
3.10.3 modifyMLVLANDropFrontPorts
This interface drops front ports associated with an existing ML VLAN. An attribute change event is reported when the front ports are dropped from the ML VLAN. Prime Optical does not specify which attribute of the ML VLAN has changed. The NMS must obtain updated MLVLAN_T structure information. If removal of any front ports associated with the ML VLAN fails, Prime Optical generates a processing failure exception. The NMS user must requery the ML VLAN information to obtain the new set of parameters associated with the ML VLAN.
For details about the MLVLAN_T structure, see createMLVLAN.
EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT - Raised when l2TopologyName does not reference an L2 topology object or when one or more PTPs in the PTP list does not reference a PTP object.
3.10.4 modifyMLVLANPortState
This interface enables or disables specified ML VLAN traffic on the specified list of front ports. An attribute change event is reported when one of the ML VLAN parameters is modified. Prime Optical does not specify which attribute of the ML VLAN has changed. The NMS must obtain updated MLVLAN_T structure information. If modification of any of the ML VLAN port states fails, Prime Optical generates a processing failure exception. The NMS user must requery the ML VLAN information to obtain the new set of parameters associated with the ML VLAN.
For details about the MLVLAN_T structure, see createMLVLAN.
Prime Optical support for MLVLANTPPortState_T structure is as follows:
The front Ethernet port name used by this ML VLAN.
The portState is applicable only to the specified ML VLAN. The supported states are:
EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT - Raised when l2TopologyName does not reference an L2 topology object or when one or more PTPs in the PTP list does not reference a PTP object.
3.10.5 modifyMLVLANRSTPState
This interface enables or disables specific ML VLAN traffic on the specified list of drop ports. An attribute change event is reported when an ML VLAN parameter is modified. Prime Optical does not specify which attribute of the ML VLAN has changed. The NMS must obtain updated MLVLAN_T structure information. If the modification of an ML VLAN RSTP state fails, Prime Optical generates a processing failure exception. You must issue another query for the ML VLAN information to obtain the new set of parameters associated with the ML VLAN.
For details about the MLVLAN_T structure, see createMLVLAN.
Prime Optical support for MLVLANRSTPState_T structure is as follows:
The front Ethernet port name used by this ML VLAN.
The rstpState is applicable only to the specified non-QinQ drops of the ML VLAN. The supported states are:
– L2RSTPState_T.L2RSTP_DISABLE
EXCPT_INVALID_INPUT - Raised when l2TopologyName does not reference an L2 topology object or when one or more PTPs in the PTP list does not reference a PTP object.
EXCPT_ENTITY_NOT_FOUND - Raised when l2TopologyName references an L2 topology object that does not exist or when one or more PTPs in the PTP list does not exist.
3.10.6 modifyMLVLANTPQOS
This interface modifies the QoS policies of a list of termination points in the specified ML VLAN. An attribute change event is reported for each call to this API, even if more than one TP QoS policy has been modified. Prime Optical does not specify which attribute of the ML VLAN has changed. The NMS must obtain updated MLVLAN_T structure. Modification of any QoS policy is done on a best effort basis. If modification of any part of the QOSPolicy fails, Prime Optical generates a processing failure exception. The NMS user must requery the ML VLAN information to get the new set of parameters associated with the ML VLAN.
For details about the MLVLAN_T and QOSPolicy_T structures, see createMLVLAN.
Prime Optical support for MLVLANTPQOSPolicy_T structure is as follows:
– The front Ethernet port name used by this ML VLAN to modify the QoS policy.
