FIGURE 6-191 Creating a DS1 Profile (PSPAN tab)
Note: If the user has already defined PSPAN Configuration Attributes and Counter Thresholds at the iMAP, the
default for these in the Profile is set to False (read only), so they will not be affected. Otherwise, the user
could define them here.
6.16.5 Provision the Two DS1 Ports
Selecting from the main menu Tools -> Customer Management -> Add DS1 Customer brings up the Provision New DS1
Port Form. This is the form where the main tasks for Provisioning the CES8 endpoint and the PSPAN are done. The device/
ports available are the discovered DS1 ports in the managed network that are available for provisioning. Following are
important points when filling out this form:
• You must input a Customer ID. When provisioning two endpoints, this ID will be applied to both endpoints in the Port
Inventory table. This allows immediate recognition of which ports are included in the dual configuration. The name
should be descriptive so that the user can identify the customer that owns the DS1 circuit.
• When you enter a peer port device, the Peer IP Address of the first endpoint is automatically filled in and is uneditable.
(If only one port is being provisioned, leave the Peer Port Configuration panel empty. The Peer IP address in the PSPAN
Configuration panel will then be editable.)
• The Port Profiles used for each endpoint do not have to match, but their PSPAN tab parameters must be compatible.
• When a DS1 port is successfully provisioned, there is an option to provision another port, in which case the Customer ID
field is cleared, and the just provisioned ports are no longer available in the Port pull-down.
