5.11.3 Procedure Overview

The source ports are selected from Port Management. A Cut-Over button is added to the Port Management screen and

behaves as follows:

• When multiple rows are selected, only the Cut-Over button is enabled

• When one row is selected, the Cut-Over button and other buttons are enabled.

• When no rows are selected, the Cut-Over button is disabled.

When the Cut-Over button is selected, a dialog pop-up guides the user to reassign the selected ports to available non-

provisioned ports. The user can select only one destination per procedure, and so all destination ports have to be on the

same device, which can be any device known to the NMS.

Depending on the scenario, default destination ports can be automatically assigned by the NMS, although these can be

changed by the user. Also where possible, the NMS restricts destination ports to ones that are compatible with source

ports.

Once the selections are made, the user selects the Provision button to activate the first step of cutover. The new ports will

be disabled (administratively down) while provisioning and then enabled, so the technician can verify that the port is up

immediately after the cutover. Port Management can then be used to test the new ports. Once the user is satisfied with the

cutover results, another button provides a shortcut to de-provision the old ports. If the dialog is dismissed before the old

ports are de-provisioned, they can be de-provisioned any time later from Port Management.
