FIGURE 5-240 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.
In this example, six iMGs are being transferred from FX10 ports to FX20 ports. Also, the source and target ports are on the
same device, but the target ports could be on a different device.
