Procedure 2-4 To create a span of control
The span of control for a user is a list of the objects over which the user has control,
for example, a group of NEs or services. You can create an original span, or copy an
existing span and modify the list of associated objects to create a new span. The
objects that are in a span, or that can be added to a span, are called span objects.
The 5620 SAM has several predefined spans. Each new 5620 SAM object, for example,
a discovered NE, is added to the corresponding predefined span. Table 2-5 lists the
predefined 5620 SAM spans and the type of span objects in each.
Table 2-5 Predefined spans of control
Spans are specified in span of control profiles that are associated with user groups. A
user can create a 5620 SAM object only when the predefined span for the object type
is in the span of control profile. For example, if you do not have the Default Group Span
in your span of control profile, you cannot create a ring group.
NEs are added automatically to a span when the parent equipment group, ring group,
or VLAN group is in a span. An object that is automatically added to a span cannot be
removed from the span, but an explicitly added object can be removed.
Note 1 — You cannot delete a span of control that is assigned to a user
group that contains users.
Note 2 — You cannot modify or delete a predefined span.

Note 1 — A user can view or configure a point-to-point connection only
when each endpoint of the connection is in the user span of control. For
example, when the endpoints of an LSP path are in different spans, you
need view or configuration privileges in each span in order to view or
configure the LSP path.
Note 2 — When you create a span, you can drag and drop NEs and
equipment groups into the span contents list.
