5.1 5620 SAM component configuration overview
The 5620 SAM may require a configuration change after it is installed to meet your
specific operational requirements. The procedures in this chapter change the default
system-wide behavior of 5620 SAM settings or functional preferences. The
procedures in this chapter describe how to perform configuration changes on the
following 5620 SAM components:
• 5620 SAM software and licenses
• System components
• Network management functions
• System preferences
5.2 Changing 5620 SAM default text fields and ID ranges
You can create format and range policies to change the default number and format
of characters used for text fields and the ID ranges used on the 5620 SAM GUI.
Format and range policies
Format policies manage how services, policies, LSPs, L2 and L3 access interfaces
are named and described. Range policies manage the ID numbers that are assigned
to services, policies, LSPs, L2 and L3 access interfaces. For example, you can
configure a range policy to specify a range of 200 and 499 for all IDs for a service.
You can configure a format policy to specify that service names do not exceed 10
characters. The object creation form indicates when a range or format policy is in
effect for an object.
Format and range policies are not distributed to NEs. The format and range policies
are configured when services, policies, LSPs, L2 and L3 access interfaces are created
from the 5620 SAM GUI. You cannot configure format and range policies when the
services, LSPs, L2 and L3 access interfaces are created using templates. However,
the 5620 SAM allows an operator to use pre-configured examples of LSPs and
services that have format and range policies applied to them. The examples can be
used to create a template. For more information about creating templates from a
pre-configured example, see “Format and range policies configuration of services
and LSPs using templates” in the 5620 SAM Scripts and Templates Developer
Guide.
Note 1 — You can also change the configuration of a 5620 SAM
component such as a database, server, or client using the 5620 SAM
installer utility. See “Automated 5620 SAM client installation,
upgrade, and configuration updates” in the 5620 SAM | 5650 CPAM
Installation and Upgrade Guide for more information.
Note 2 — You can use the 5620 SAM auto-client update function to
reconfigure multiple 5620 SAM clients. See “Automated 5620 SAM
client installation, upgrade, and configuration updates” in the
5620 SAM | 5650 CPAM Installation and Upgrade Guide for
information about using auto-client update to perform a client update.
See Procedure 5-8 for information about performing global
auto-client updates.
