FIGURE 5-248 Original Ports Ready to be Re-Provisioned
The procedure is now complete, with the iMG/RGs up on the destination ports and passing traffic, and the original ports de-
provisioned.
5.11.5 Procedure Example - Transfer of iMG to different Port
This type of procedure is more complex since when the iMG is moved to a different port, the NMS database will be updated
with the new location (upstream port). Moreover, if the iMG/RG IP address was assigned using DHCP, the iMG/RG will have
to renew its address; while this serves to test connectivity, it also updates DHCP-based filters on the iMAP port.
Note: The only port types selectable are ADSL, SHDSL, VDSL, and Etherlike.
5.11.5.1 Copy the Port Attributes from the Original Port to the new Port
This provision stage of cut-over is performed as a separate task since it may need to be coordinated with physical cut-over,
which may need to be performed during off hours.
